Why does bollywood not make good action, sci fi etc films?

My issue is not with men and women flaunting. Sex sells.

I dont understand can I have an example

My issue is uncreativity.

I have noticed this for some time.

Look at all these guys with rock hard abs on TV and and film. Athletic bodies.

You think. These guys would be great for films that require athletic bodies.

Good films

Sci fi

Action

Spy

Epic Wars and empires of ancient times. Games of thrones

Wars and empires of today.

Superheroes.

But no. Its the generic love stories where they pursue a girl. They take of their shirt, flash their abs, and role around.

@bold: this is not going to change.. you must seen or heard about the most hyped movies this year and none lived up to the expectations..

BW cares more about money... not about creativity.. not about trying something new.. they will recycle the same old formula "generic love story where they pursue a girl" to sell it and as long as public buys it.. it will continue to be sold! this is also the reason most production houses are shutting down... BW is getting lazier and lazier with scripts..

High quality fantasy,superhero movies are too costly but the action, sci fi, horror genre can be improved

Mohenjo Daro could have been so much more than the crap Hrithik made.

An average HW action flick costs $200 mil to produce not including advertising as far as I know. How much is that in Rupees ? Does BW even have the budget for it ? Therein is one of your reasons IMO

It is chicken and egg situation. The hit -flop ratio is dismal. With too many movies flopping, producers are becoming conservative and are taking less and less risk. Leading to poor content. The Indian market is too varied. What works for one section may not work with other. And for movies with higher budget it needs to work with different groups. We need to work on our basics too. Rather than filming in foreign locales we need to work on indigenous technology to save money. Small things like using makeup artist from India helps save money. And yes Bollywood needs better writers and visionary directors. The time for searching for one's self is over.

Budget may be a main reason
