Well why not? I do not think BW is bashed simply for existing. They have indeed been making crap.
I do not think Adipurush is being bashed for being made in BW. It is being bashed for indeed being crap and has led to more bashing for BW.
Earlier same Hindi industry has made films like Ram Rajya which was even watched by MK Gandhi (who otherwise abhorred cinema and called it a source of vulgarity), and it became such a rage that the actor who played Ram in it, Prem Adib, became worshipped by people in real life and people began touching his feet.
Same BW has made Jai Santoshi Ma which broke records without any big star and its song Main toh aarti utaro re Santoshi mata ki, is still used as a bhajan. It was such a rage that people took off shoes before entering theatres and treated depiction of Goddess onscreen as if Mata herself gave darshan to people on earth.
With such small budgets, no big stars, no marketing or VFX, BW has made hit films on cultural, religious, historical themes in past.
So why can they not make good stuff now?
