These day we have this trend that every third bollywood movie is copied from a south indian movie... like ready, bodyguard, singham... before most movies were copied from hollywood and now they are copying south.. Which trend was better?? Copying south or holly??

I personally think holly... coz of the shitty south indian remakes.. i have stopped watching bolly movies. I actually miss the hollywood remakes like hum tum, anjaana anjaani.. i miss kjo's wannabe mushy movies over these loud and trashy south indian remakes like singham, ready.. bla bla bla...

Im going to say neither. Both industries have its merits though. Take inspiration from Hollywood in terms of thinking outside the box and feeling brave enough to make edgy films, and i'd actually say the same about extracting some things from south films, just look at mani ratnam movies.

Also South Industry = 4 different industries, 4 distinct languages and types of cinema. A malayalam film is immensely different from say a tamil film. We should stop grouping it all together.

Actually, I was thinking about opening a thread called "Which Hollywood Movie You Want In Hindi" while watching The Brothers Bloom:


I know the movie bombed at Hollywood, but too curious to know how the movie will fare in Bollywood if remade 🤔

As long as remakes are done with conviction and the script is tight, I dont mind if they are South Indian or Hollywood remakes. Also its very important to contextualise the story. We dont relate to Hollywood remakes as some of them lift the plot as-is even without contextualising the characters, setting etc.

Yeh im the complete opposite...the NRI styled fluffy romcoms they remake from hollywood (like AA, Hum tum, BKB blah blah) make me barf...come of as wannabe cool to me...so artificial...

I also dunt like the remakes made by bhatt camp/abbas mustan gang which are just silly to begin with...Just bollyodised hollywood thrillers, which im not a fan of.

South remakes arent gr8, but i like them better coz I like movies based in india which dunt pretend to be all cool and hep showing the lives of overprivilidged youngsters...

loved singham, ready and bodyguard were trash...but their originals werent half as bad...Just that bolly dosent have enough "akal" for a good "nakal"...

But i prefer them being original anyday...if i wanted to watch a hollywood or a south movie,i would rather go watch an original one rather than watch a badly made bollywood one...
