1. Calling films sequel which is not a continuation of the previous part but only repeats the same set of characters.
2. Having a younger female lead in those so-called 'sequels'.

3. The remake of 90's songs. They are not that old also to be remade.

4. Using a sensitive subject like Rape as a tool especially in low-brainer movies.

5. Stereotypical portrayals of North Indians, South Indians, LGBT community.

6. Multistarrer low content films like Housefull.

Pertaining to Bollywood celebrity culture:
1. Premature success parties.
2. Celebs showing up at every damn tv show for film promotions.
3. Award show nonsenses- ie. Mocking people, lame awards like social media star of the year, and so on.
4. Open letters from attention seeking stars.

Pertaining to Bollywood movies:
1. Forcefully ghusaoing a romantic track and song in a film that doesn't need it.
2. Already mentioned above- calling films sequels when they are really not.
3. Radical differences in tone and pace in first and second half of movies.

Biopics, W*F promotion tactics, forcefully including a female lead with no weightage in masala films, remakes of any kind, nepotism, pr articles, neha kakkar(I'll take annoyingly sugary shreya over plain annoying neha any day), actors singing(pls leave the job to singers-good ones)

Songs with auto tune or tuning of any kind. Can people not sing anymore?

Fashion policing! Let people wear what they want as long as it looks good on them. Don't like the excessive focus on brands.

Biopics. God damn it. Write a story on your own. Or if you do a biopic, be creative. Not just do a linear boring one or show a person's whole damn life! Lol! Pick a part of life and try to say something. Neerja comes to mind.

Can we have some good love stories back? Have people forgotten this genre? Love still exists and it has moved past KKHH & DDLJ. Can we have sensible love stories for all ages?
