Is bollywood at its all time low? - Page 3

Except for Jeff Bezos and Mukhesh Ambani, everybody else is going on a little low at the present.Its okay. It will get back on its rails once again.For the sake of the millions of people’s livelihood, and for my own entertainment, I really really hope that this too shall pass.

I think things will get better. Never has an industry been so shoved into a corner that it has silenced most big Bollywood stars. They’re even posting less because they don’t want to be attacked or put in their place.

The quality of Bollywood has always been questionable but since about 2012 I’d say it’s gone worse. Just think about it we were living in a time where people like Alia, Arjun and Varun were considered the future. Have y’all seen them? In the 2000’s they wouldn’t last a second..... the standard have truly fallen to accommodate the various Nepo beta and betiyan

Yup

BW is shit now

Lost all interest..

Now even if SRK comes in front of me, i'll probably ignore him

Yes it is at an all-time low. And Bollywood only has itself to blame for it.

I would like to think that people like you & me, folks who are interested in knowing what's really happening behind the silver screen of Bollywood, are a very tiny minority. I would say thousands of people. Max lakhs (i.e. hundreds of thousands) maybe.

I think the aam jantaa wouldn't care about anything other than the movie and its entertainment factor. Which is only fair to them.

Which is why this movement or boycott (I'll personally be losing out on watching movies I consider more nepo than usual) may not really impact the cash coffers or viewership stats.

Yes, people like me, who are disgusted by the dirty games, will not forget it. Many of us will carry this grudge within our hearts. Unfortunately, it'll be just that. As KJo & the nepo-gang laugh all the way to the bank (already Jahnvi is being pushed into my face on every newsportal, while I didn't even hear anything of Lootcase).

If, however, you are right. And if Bollywood is really losing its shit. Then regional cinema has to capitalize on it. Its now or never!

Forgive me as I digress a bit more:

I think South has really protected their cinema (maybe because of less inroads made by Hindi). Marathi cinema (which arguably birthed cinema in India via Raja Harischandra) is highly underrated (watch Killa or Fandry as a sample, both on Netflix I think). Punjabi & Gujarati industries keep churning out good movies as well. Bengali cinema, once glorious, doesn't have that "buzz" anymore. I mean they still make good movies, last I watched "Saheb Bibi Golaam" (and you can imagine my extreme shock at seeing Swastika in Paataal Lok & Dil Bechara 😕). I'm a Bihari, and the only Bhojpuri movie I've seen in my life is "Nadiya Ke Paar". Due to the Hindi belt, Bollywood has completely wiped out regional cinema there. Maybe if Bollywood shuts down, people like Prakash Jha will come back to Bihar and start making movies in my native Maithili (very nascent industry). Pipe dreams... 😆

I think KJo's own directorial were really good but his production house is good. Want the days of K3G, KKHH to return but it's unlikely we'll see a movie like that in current times.

It's at an all-time low on creativity, revenue, good movies, good actors.

I think revenue is actually high. Or was before the hiatus

No it's not.
Movies are making more money that ever before. It's actually at its highest.

And the nepotism debate on social media won't change anything. The people who say they are going to "boycott" bollywood (which they wont even do) are less than 0,01% of the actual audience.
