I do not want to talk of KJo only here
I think since 1980s only hindi movies quality has been going done.
Before there was clear cut movies commercial movies and art movies
Since the punjabi culture has dominated hindi movies bollywood has gone down hill
Have you seen movies before 1980s or 1990s? Movies did not hype punjabi culture or much of any culture
Based on the topic of the story, movie had south indian culture(ek duje ke liye) or goan culture(sagar, julie) or punjabi culture too
But since 1980s and 1990s you watch whichever movie you have promotion of culture specially punjabi culture in hindi movies
And that too the pop punjabi culture the loud music, the dance and songs etc the loud extended families
Its more emphasis to show that only than the story
I mean quality is going down very badly since early 1980s only not now(or you can say even mid 70s)
in every sphere of cinema especially hindi movies be it story, dialogues, songs, actors
Its not only KJO but everyones responsible for that
Based on story you have to fit in song, back ground, place etc but here its all predecided and they started fitting in story to suit songs, situations, background etc
Add to that nepotism where lyricist son becomes lyricist, music director son becomes music director (armaan malik, amal malik) directors son becomes director (aditya chopra) or actors son becoms actor (saif ali khan, tiger shroff, varun dhawan, sunny deol, bobby deol, abhay deol) has ruined quality of cinema completely
Also nepotism in the form that insiders only take all types of jobs like lyricist son becomes actor (salman), or directors nephew becomes actor(amir khan, imran khan, varun dhawan) etc its just killing quality of cinema in every field
We can count no of people capable in job till now who are related to bollywood - actually not many a amir khan, a sunny deol, a ajay devgan, sameer(anjaans son), anand milind (chitragupt sons) RD Burman (SD Burman son) kishore kumar (ashok kumars son) raj kapoor (prithvijar kapoors son) etc very very few have been truly capable of the field or job(Ok may be not 100% but 60-70% capable at least of the job they got when comprared to complete outsiders) they have taken up and produced quality work. Rest have just been ruining quality of cinema because they have not even 50% capablility for that job. I have not included all those capable coming from nepotism background but giving examples.
People still watch 1950s, 1960s and 1970s many movies only because it had quality and even songs. Because 80% were outsiders in bollywood who did not come from any film family. That trend must start again to improve quality of cinema. Today lyrics writer do not know hindi properly forget urdu/old hindi how can we expect them to write a meaningful song. Music directors do not know to play instruments or basic chords or world music etc how they will know what is melody that touches heart. Writers cannot write good story because they have not seen life. Watch KJO, adi chopra movies how are college going kids? Does anyone behave like kajol, srk and ran i KKHH or SOTY1 and SOYT2 in a college that too student. Is there teachers like anupam kher and archana puran singh in movies? I mean in SOTY2 not one person was studyng and its a college, the dresses students wore no one shall be allowed inside college gate at all forget india even in USA. I mean may be KJO, adi never went to college in life. Or they have not seen life at all as a common human whether india or US or UK. But they direct it? No wonder quality of movies is so bad.
