Does bollywood help in increasing india's popularity?

bollywood makes me sick.


I did like it in the 90's.


Fav song:




Now bollywood is shit on a stick.

Bollywood is misrepresenting India. The world should take a look at Malayalam, Tamil and Telugu films also to realize the far better quality of Indian films which has been scrutinized with Bollywood movies as a scale.
tamil and telugu movies have too much unreal violence, it might look better in cinematography and original plot but they handle the movies poorly.
just compare ghajini hindi and tamil versions... nobody accused bollywood of realism but the influence of tamil/telugu movies have dumbed down bollywood to really low(stupid ajay devgan movies)

Pakistan is probably going to be defeated by India but with 99% certainty it is not the Indian Army that is going to prevail.

Bollywood will be the cause of Pakistani defeat. Such is the power of Bollywood. It is one thing that nobody, Pakistan military, Pakistani state or even the Mullahs can face off.

Travelling through domestic airports is a pain. This CRPF's are Hindi-stani's and they enforces Hindi everywhere.
The trick is to speak only ur mother tounge in ur state,,,specially wid security personals,,speak hindi only whn they admit tht they cant speak the local lingo.

utter crap suitable for rickshaw pullers....

@hinduguy I had to ask you since you're literally the only non-rabid hindu on the forum.

It seems like bollywood has really changed in terms of their content. In the 90's they would focus on North-Western Indian culture(which was somewhat relatable to me), but today it seems like they completely changed to UP/Bihari Central Indian culture. The last Indian film I saw was of Salman Khan as the police officer. The only thing that I could relate to in that movie was that they were using Rahat Fateh Ali's song.

Actually, I lied. The last Indian film I saw was with Fawad Khan, but it was even shittier than Salman Khan's film. What's with Indians trying to wear arbitrary t-shirts and trying to be hipsters in their films these days? I mean, you guys rarely ever had good plots in a film, but after watching Fawad's film I literally gave up on bollywood altogether. I used to watch a lot of classic Hindi films, but these days you guys are churning out absolute shit.

In Bollywood (apart from Amir Khan productions and a couple more) almost every other movie is a ripoff of a Hollywood production.

I think it is a fake world , that world does not exist in reality. And when you realize it you stop watching it.

Music does transfer across border but unfortunately I have not listened to many songs lately

Some of the "item" songs to me look some what vulgar which is difficult to watch with family
There is no control of family vs adult rating concept with the song wording etc

I think one of last movie I did bother to watch was 3 idiots but after that I have not opted to watch any movies as the material was all same / repackaged over and over again

Also ever since I had options to choose my entertainment , I have spent more time following English shows and movies or sports places like Netflix and other avenues just offer more entertainment options

Most people who do indeed visit India do see the difference quickly between fake presentation in movies vs real life day to day India

I did enjoyed the cultural exchange music shows at some point but the emergence of "Intolerance" in india or Extremism I was forced to just forget about that idea and just focus on
Western Movies or Songs

Watching more entertaining series over time
  • Lost (TV Serial)
  • Walking dead
  • Countless offer of movies on Netflix
  • Sci Fi shows (Battle star glactica)
  • Ample supply of documentary
  • Good old Anime
  • Unlimited amount of stuff on youtube
  • Game of Thrones (more for mature audience)

A cow in "bakra mandi" is named Shahrukh Khan. :D

Btw I don't follow Bollywood. :what:

Oh okay. I used to watch a lot of Indian films in the 90's/early 2000's then fell off. In the 90's the bollywood films were based off Mughlai culture. Shit even today, they use Pakistani songs for their movies.

Look at this shitty rendition of Jugni:

The Indians made this song quickly after Arif Lohar's version.


They literally killed the soul of the song and poetry. Indians copy a lot of Pakistani music, but end up fucking it up by 99%.

first of all I dont watch a lot of bollywood.. not when I was kid...and not now.. I dont watch many movies in general.. but I do keep track of bollywood trends..
the salman khan / ajay devgan type movies were always there.. in 80s and 90s.. its possible that you were child back then and nostalgia is stopping you from comparing quality.
lets be honest, the majority of bollywood movies has always been crap... when I say crap, I mean not to my taste....
what is different however is, bollywood since 2000s has widened the story line(outside poor boy rich girl, love triangle, and lost in mela)... has added realism to acting(in some movies) and much less melodramatic.(relatively)

There is a bad trend too as you mentioned, copying south indian style moves which has no heads or tails(ajay devgan/salman khan)... its popular as bollywood never had these type of moves. (unreal stylized violence especially). I hope it goes away, but I guess it has got mass appeal(just like many mithun/govinda starrer did)

Also there is a trend of indie cinema that I like, earlier I was forced to watch arthouse/parallel cinema if I need alternative to bollywood.

Oh hell no.

Hindi films in the last 10 years have gone from bad to worse.

Either they are copies of regional movies or simply foreign movies and that too are terrible to watch. Almost all actors sport the same fashion and style and act like plastic dolls.

It is such a pain to watch Hindi movies these days. Except for a handful good ones, about 90% of the movies that Bollywood throws out are absolute garbage.

I really hope regional movies make a better impact and represent India better.

no... why do you think so?

But when Indians do indie type films like the one Fawad Khan was in, it was so cringey.

Exactly. Experts at copying ideas from other industries. Plus I don't find stories to be unique and usually are the same sh*t with few different actors.
Zehar Lagte Hain Mujhe Bollywood Ke actors. Tbh except few Mujhe to nam tak Nai Pata
