Has 'Bollywood' sold out?

It's no secret that Bollywood producers want to earn money... and most Bollywood movies have been making losses for years...

To the topic: Have you noticed that the characters in the movies these days are often about muslim characters or christian characters? The reason is obvious, the market for bollywood films is in the west and in muslim countries...
Even the rescent movies like 'My name is khan' or 'Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehn' made their lions share of the profits in the west and gulf countries, not India.
So, is it safe to say that Bollywood has sold its soul and hence no longer relavent to Indians?

Why don't you think Muslims and Christians are also Indians?

What is wrong in portraying Muslim or Christian characters? If anything Hindi cinema is popularising Indian (mostly Hindu) culture into West Asia, South-East Asia, EU, North America and other parts of the world.

[JK]BTW I definitely see a Punjabi conspiracy in Bollywood, that explains the excessive amount of Punjabi culture that is shown in Hindi movies.[/JK] 😆

PS. I would love to see North East Indian characters in Hindi cinema.

PPS. I would also love to see Bollywood movies based in various Indian cities....imagine a movie featuring Bhubaneshwar, Imphal, Mangalore, Raipur, Gangtok and other not so well known citites. What better way to advertise India to the world than to show them in our movies. Frankly I am tired of looking at foreign locales in our cinema.

What a joke...😆 Oh wait.. you're Bengali...😆
So put it this way.. quite normal to see jokes that degrade Hindus in the movies all the time for the foreign market. Make fun of a muslim or christian and suddenly you're a fanatic asking for a bomb up your bum...😆 Haven't seen such a movie yet... 😆

So that what you look for in a movie? Religious jokes? You have bad taste. And they have made fun of both Muslims and Hindus in many movies: A Wednesday, Black Friday, Aamir, Rann etc..
