South is full of more nepotism than Bollywood so please explain the discrepancy

They’re not as bratty and snooty

There are what 6 South Indian films which have made money in north? Multiple of these pan-India films have sank without a trace in the last two years. I think the whole South movie craze in Hindi markets is rather exaggerated. People who are turning up for RRR for Rajamouli's name are not just simply going to turn up for other Telugu films or Prabhas films or whatever. It's the same thing with Hollywood. Only Marvel makes money, and even 3 of their 4 films tanked last year. Batman didn't do particularly great, the new Harry Potter is going to tank miserably. Bollywood's bigger problem is their own films, not these anomalies they want to blame.

@bold - What? Why? 😲

They are same. Most of the male south actors might date anyone, but will settle down in an arrange marriage.

Bollywood is not finished, in fact, no industry will ever be finished. They will have phases and then overcome. The question is how long it will be on a declining track?



Nepotism is everywhere, the problem with Bollywood is the 'Nepo' gangs' lack of understanding of the masses, the Indian masala genre. In the South, it's not the case and that's what works for them.



What Bollywood needs right now is directors who are in the mould of Yash Chopra (in his early years), Manmohan Desai, Prakash Mehra, Subhash Ghai, Rakesh Roshan, Rajiv Rai, Mukul S Anand etc. What they have now is one sasta version in Rohit Shetty. Farah Khan's quick fade, Sajid Khan's brain fade etc. didn't help them.

I like Ali Abbas Zafar and Sidharth Raj Anand.

People think that South movie industry doesn't have nepotism or harassment or role snatching etc etc...go read some horror stories from there and also read about the big movie families of south and see if they don't have nepotism.....🤪

Also why are all the different movie industry being grouped together against BW......there is a Telugu indiustry, a Tamil industry,,,,Kannada...Malyalam...so its not that one movie industry is doing good....its the group which is being pitched against one industry...how is that even fair??😆

Really miss Aamir Khan movies, but if he comes with Alia Bhatt then will have to give it a miss also.

Atleast Aamir is experimental, he tries and then either fails or succeeds.

Another actor is Kangana, atleast her movies are one different from another. Only if she finishes her gloating and focus on movies rather than personal lives it will be better.

From the new breed , my hopes are only on Ranveer Singh.


Others, SRK, Salman , Akshay are all stereotypes of their first movies which are recycled in every possible way in their subsequent movies.

Watch out for Kangana in Dhaakad. It's a deadly combination of Resident Evil and Tomb Raider. No actress has attempted such kind of slick action and concept in Bollywood. She is a trendsetter and a benchmark for others to follow.
