With each passing year, the quality (especially of content) is going downwards as far as Hindi cinema is concerned.
A bollywood' buff like me who used to watch almost any kind of Hindi movies , even sometimes the B grade ones when there was no release of A class hindi films for a while, is now observing my ownself that is getting distant from Hindi films since last few years , mainly due to poor quality and content despite all the newage technology.

Especially this year I just realized I have watched hardly 1/8th of the movies which I used to see every year uptil like 2012.

Are you having the same pattern? how many Hindi films and which ones in 2017 you have seen so far ?

I watched the following movies so far this year:

Raees (mainly to see Mahira in it, else would have skipped it).

Trapped

Anakkali of Aarah

Maatr (mainly for raveena as she is my good friend via twitter, have done private chat with her numerous times, zero attitude zero nakhra, such a humble person).

Mom

Lipstick under my burqa

Bariley ki barfi

Lucknow central


So basically ONLY EIGHT movies in total I watched this year, previously it used to be somewhere from 50 to 60 Hindi films each year.

Heck I even watched just first 25-30 minutes of my favorite Aalia's BKD and same with my country's fav actress saba qamar's Hindi medium...could not complete them despite really wanted to see these two.
Maybe my tolerance for pure commercail cinema is getting low with age, or maybe the stuff ain't that great which it used to be.

HOW ABOUT YOU LOVELY PEOPLE ?

really 😲
thats a shockingly low number...but hindi cinema deserve it due to the kind of trash it is churing out in last 4-5 years, especially this year.

Trapped was GOOD, metaphoric movie but engaging.
Mom...well average for me, few loopholes, but not a bad watch, though nothing new.
Brailey ki barfi was the BEST ONE out of all. very interesting and entertaing from start till end, never expected it to be so good. Do watch it, u'll like it.

Sarkar 3 had bad reviews, never heard about the rest two u've mentioned.

Maatr was ok.
Low budget types, but not bad.

I watched all of them on net (official prints..watches on my projector, so a big screen in a way).

Last movie I watched in cinema was two years ago in 2015, PREM RATAN DHAN PAYO.
I was expecting another HAHK but was severally disappointed, so much so that I didnt felt like watching movies in cinemas after that. Sub standard movies after that r the main reason of me staying away from cinemas, more then one bad prdp.
