Definitely. The charm of Bollywood I feel was largely based on romantic films. Innocent, pure romance with amazing songs.

From around the mid 2000s, the romance slowly started becoming more sexual in films, and the songs in these films started becoming more party/club based rather than pure innocent lyrics. It was still fine, but then from 2010 onwards it seems the romantic films started completely copying Hollywood.

In 2021, innocent romance is almost dead in Bollywood. Kabir Singh in 2019 was a romantic blockbuster, but of course, the Kabir character himself was very sexualized and not innocent. I liked the film though regardless.

I could be wrong, but from the looks of it here in Calgary (Canada), me and majority of the people (especially women) tend to prefer the late 90s/early 2000s romantic/family films such as KKHH, K3G and KHNH compared to the films of today! Although I will say, ADHM was loved by many folks here (including me!).

Finally, and I'm not just saying this because SRK is my favorite actor, but it sure seems like the buzz of Bollywood has declined in my city considerably ever since his career has been on the decline.

SRK honestly can’t be doing just romantic movies anymore..

I loved him in Raees, Fan and Dear Zindagi among more recent of his movies.

Not just Bollywood, all movies that have been released during the pandemic have been horrible 🤢with a few exceptions ofcourse.

WW84 is perhaps one of the most worst A-list film I have seen☯️. Periodt.

What movies do you predict will be successful (the ones that released trailers, first looks etc)? Miss your predictions!

Forum also lost its charm due to remix and remake threads.

Why don't you create a poll about hobbies to give us some ideas...

How can I give ideas? Hobbies are something which you like to do in your free time.

It's only you who could tell that.... since how can I tell what y'all like to do? If y'all don't like watching Bollywood movies anymore, then you should watch or do something you like.

Naaa. not to me. I am ready to go to the theaters the moment this Pandemic thingy fades away. Just cannot wait!

😆 Watch the first 5 minutes. It might as well be about the Bollywood.
