The problem with Bollywood is their selective opinion and activation.
If you are preaching equality of gender or religion it should be same for every incident.
The classic case of some rape cases where many in Bollywood talked about " I am ashamed to be an Indian or in a particular religion ". But complete silence when there was another rape case. Rape is rape and must b called out irrespective of the religion or gender.
Plus they are also very fickle minded and in the age of social media all your old posts and messages are stored and can be revisited and that has been the biggest problem.
Also during COVID many have seen Bollywood ugly side of nepotism, favouritism, unequal treatment and pay and entitlement.
However the main thing is respect the audience and work on better stories, writing, acting and main thing if an audience wants to come to the theatre they want to be entertained period.
All flop movies had either very bad acting or was very slow in many places and failed to keep them entertained and this is across languages.
