Welcome to the topic of the week where we can discuss a popular topic on the forum at the moment.
Some rules:
1.No bashing actors if you have to make a point make it without bashing.
2.No chatting off topic
3.No arguements if you disagree with something you can say it without turning it into a fight.
Topic of the week this week:
What do you think of bollywoods attempt to take no different subjects?
Subjects like Sexuality, Behind the glamour word, Dyslexia, Mistreatment of old people (Very broad basically subject thats real)
Examples of films:Sharaarat(Abhisehiks film on old peoples home very touching.) , Taare zameen par, Black, Fashion, Dostana, Girlfriend,Fire
1. Do you think bollywood gives them the treatment needed to get the message across?
2.Is there some things that should be left alone especially taboo subjects or is it job of movies to put this across?
3. Since its covering more different subjects does it mean bollywoods opening more and indian society to say films like dostana?
4.Whats the one film you have seen that is worst or best even both examples of this.
5.Do you agree when protesters protest against some of these subjects?
Feel free to add anything else you want or pm me with a topic if you have a good idea 😳

Well the films are unique .. to bollywood. Its a good way of getting people aware of certain things .. Gives people a lot to think about .. Its good to get different things across ... Bollywood should definately needs to do more experimental films .. There may be a few people who object to these issues but then again theres a lot of people who like watching these films and like watchingg unconventional/experinmental cinema. I think Bollywood could do much better when making movies about these things .. Theres a lot that they can and should venture into sometime in the future .. the audience I believe is slowly starting to accept such films.

I agree with preity. ^^ They are new to bollywood and I think they should continue trying new things. TZP, Black, Dostana and Fashion were good (I haven't seen the others) They all did well, people will slowly start to accept these movies. We are getting tired of watching the same old love stories anyways.. its definitely time for a change and enough copying has been done..

I agree with kully. It's great to see different kind of movies in bollywood although they still copy of other stories. It would be nice of them to make original stuff. For example, I love Black and Fashion, it's different kind of story for bollywood but in America, they already did the same exact story before so it's not good of them to copy.

That is very well put....i agree with all your points actually. There is definetly scope for inprovement when dealing with the subjects, however it is good away of getting points across. People always object to everything lol whatever movie it is mean even aaja nachle was made into a massive issue. Audience yeh i think they are opening their minds alot more for sure.

yes they did in hollywood, I don't know the names of the movies though. But I remember watching an old black and white american movie, and the story was exactly the same to hindi movie Black. I was surprised that they didn't even change a bit in the movie😲 That's not good to copy like that. Inspiration and copying is two different things If I was the orignal maker, I would've been hurt seeing someone stoled my idea of story scene by scene and made it look like that it was theirs😕
But yeah it's different for bollywood so it's good.
