10 REASONS TO WHY BOLLWYOOD IS LACKING BEHIND

Following are the 10 reasons because of which Bollywood is lacking behind

1. Stardom over acting- If you are a son or daughter of a very famous actor then you don’t need to act. It doesn’t mean that all of them are bad, actors like Hritik Roshan and Ranbir Kapoor have proved themselves but still in Bollywood, stardom is preferred over acting. If a director gets a script, producer and all other things then he will start looking up for those actors who have the highest market value, without thinking about the character. Think about the character and search for the best one instead of going for market value of actors. Some movies like Gangs of Waseypur have proved this theory that a movie is not based on stardom but on script, plot and all other necessary things which you actually require to make a good movie.

2. Movies for the market- Now directors are making movie for market not for quality and respect of a good director. If audience is accepting a hero in police role with some fight scenes then the director would be ready to make same kind of 6 to 7 movies with the same actor because it will be sure shot ticket of crossing 200 crore on Box Office. They don’t realize that the day you start working on your passion for others, your outcome gets affected by the fear of result.

3. Budget and Box Office- Now a days it looks like that movie are not being made for awards, appraisal, , message but for crossing 200 crore. This 200 crore has become very popular in Bollywood.  Before the release of the movie, most of the directors and actors start saying “We hope to cross 200 crore” but with some recent examples it has been proved that crossing 200 crore doesn’t assures the quality of movie. Movies with rubbish script, acting and plot can  even cross 200 crore. If your movie will be good it will earn for sure and even if not 200 crore but the appraisal which you will get not only from India but from outside also will worth more than those 200 crore which you will use in making another shitty movie.

4. Sequels- Most of the Bollywood sequels have resulted in a very devastating situation.  Sequels are also made in Hollywood and they are as good as the first one but in Bollywood directors try to take a secure path and an attempt to copy the first part results very bad. According to me sequels are like flowing river which can be divided into different parts. You can’t have the same flow and waves of water of the previous part of the water flow but still it flows smoothly because the waves and flow are different at each part of a river but they are well connected which results in continuity. But many Bollywood directors think that “ Let's do what we did in the first part because first part was hit and we can’t take risk”.

5.Love story- The relation of love story and Indian audience is like wallet and money. Indian audience can devour love stories like anything. Whether it is novels or movies, I think an average Indian can go through more than 1009.5 love stories a day ( point five because it will be only half part of the story  and its sequel will be made on the next day). There are many other interesting and innovative themes on which movies can be made but no. We love love stories and will die with it. Putting a love story in every movie has become a necessity. It looks like a rule “Love story Act  1992- If any movie will be found without a pathetic love story, all the persons related to the movie will be fined under the Love Story Act-1992”

6. Items songs- According to me Items songs make a movie pathetic. Whenever I hear that this movie is having an item song, my perception about that movie starts falling towards the negative side. Putting a famous heroin in an item song with meaningless lyrics and people dancing at the back like anything.  I think before making a movie, the item song is decided.

7. Not out of the box. Directors are very much frightened now (not all). They want a script which will not make losses, they want a star cast which will bring people to theaters, they don’t want to get out of their comfort zones because it makes more than 200 crore for them. Most of the movies in Bollywood revolve around the same point. Movies like SHAHID, KITES, GUZARISH, IQBAL have proved that going out of the box is the best way for innovation and quality.

8. Copying- Bollywood is a master at it. Whether it’s a song, script or scene, they are a master at showing but why don’t they realize that their movie is not going to be on a cd in a single room. It will be available to be seen by anyone and also for those from whom you have copied. It will also be seen by the people who are big fans of the original work but who cares. If my copied movie will give me money I will shout it in front of the whole world and will not have a single drop of shame.

9. Fight scenes- Which was the last fighting scene in Bollywood which gave you goose bumps. I don’t remember any.  I have seen people laughing at most of the fight scenes in Bollywood. Fighting scene in Bollywood is all about heroism which ignores basic rules of physics, graphics, reality and many other things.

10. Business- Bollywood has become a business with investors expecting maximum return by using any way possible.
