That is because Disney has made the overall picture look better and even they have a few bombs 😆

The year was generally bad for Hollywood but I think it was just specific to last year

Poor soul is in love with masala movie. He is salman fan and thinks like single screen audience. So no mention of disaster called prdp.😆


I love content movie. Occasionally fantasy too. But content movie are quickly turning into niche movie. They don't really connect with mass. I can understand the author's frustration. Again 100 crore quick buck movie template is doing more harm than good. 70 percent of audience is mass. It may seem laughable to us but not to people who are shunning theaters because it is not their story.

The new generation actors are criminally under utilized. They don't want to join hands, don't take time to know their audience and are content to remain in ivory towers. 50+ Year Old actors are doing roles that 30+ regional actors are doing in regional movies. No new Super stars are getting born on ticket window.

There is no universal connectivity amongst Bollywood audience and movies are failing big time. Movies have to reach out to its grass root audience. Raees can be litmus test to see if masala can be repackaged in different wrapping. But it will also need younger actors to make movies that are more universal in appeal. And like it or not masala is Bollywood.

I hate to admit this but author has a point. Bollywood score card from 2016 is disaster. It needs to improve. Reduce Budget and improve appeal. It is time super stars pair with younger stars or younger stars pair and make movies. And clash is bad for movie business.


So well said. 👏 Content has become niche and that's a major problem.

2016 Is on Track to Be Hollywood's Worst Year for Ticket Sales in a Century
Not even Captain America can save this industry in crisis.



Hollywood Has a Huge Millennial Problem
2016 is on pace to be the worst year for movies"by tickets bought per U.S. adult"since before the 1920s. What's going on?

Disney had a few huge hits

But last year was full of devastating bombs that left top filmmakers (Steven Spielberg, Ang Lee) and A-list stars (Brad Pitt, Will Smith) badly bruised.

Spielberg's 'The BFG' - adaptation of the classic children's book was a dud, it was one of the biggest flop of his career...

Here is a list of box office bombs 2016
