I'll describe present Bollywood in one word i.e. STALE. Whether it's content niche films, or mainstream cinema, everything has became STALE. No new ideas or exploration, just the same old same old stories or concepts. I think I've just became tired of Bollywood's style of filmmaking.
It is because general public is too much access to BW thanx to social media and OTT platforms. It is no lesser than a circus. Too much information of stars, movies, behind the scenes, gossips, best and worst dressed of every event, forums like these where we discuss A-Z of BW has killed the allure and awe of BW. The superstar era has gone. I think Khans were the last superstar.
I am a 90's kid where the only access to BW was TV. Earlier in case we didn't go for a movie in cinema halls, we eagerly used to wait for world television premiers. Now new movies are available on prime and netflix within 2 months and definitely there is downloading from internet.
Though sure there are good changes such narrowing the gap between commercial and content driven cinemas.
