Trust. Faith. Bollywood/cricket was the Indians' second religion. PR and all have made them lose faith.

Many reasons. Most Bollywood films have lazy writing. People have more options now. More people are exposed to films and shows from other countries not just BW and HW. Bollywood actors are no longer stars even for the awestruck masses because everyone is over exposed through social media, these days. And finally, post pandemic most people can’t be bothered to waste their time at the theater for an average fare. Time is important.

life post Covid has changed. Most people don’t go out as much. Or have as many gatherings. They are still stuck in their Covid lifestyle.
