Bollywood is not a joke...it is the biggest film industry in the world! It gives employment to lakhs of people, who would not have a job, did this industry stop making films in big numbers and give precedence to just quality by making lesser films!
And where is the question of comparison with Hollywood? Our sensibilities are different, our tastes are different, hence our films too will be completely different to that of a Hollywood Movie! And just because a thing is different, does not make it inferior!
A handful of critics and a niche audience cannot decide what is good and what is not! It is not people like you and me, sitting in front of a computer and writing on forums who decide the fate of films...it is the front-benchers...the common man on the road, who makes a film a hit or a flop! And if they think that a film like Dabangg or Housefull 2 is worth watching, then it is. For them.
Who are we to judge that they are wrong and we are right?😕
Quality is also very important and off-late there have been many films made, which are truly superior, content wise...but such films can be made, only when these so-called mass entertainer films make money!
It is the way the business model works...the Ghajini's and Wanted's of Bollywood are the one which make enough money to finance the likes of a Kahaani or Vicky Donor!
PS: UTV Motion Pictures strikes a balance between mass-entertainers and making small-budget, content oriented films! If they don't make money out of a Rowdy Rathore, how on earth can they afford to make films like Udaan?
