Secret behind Bollywood pathetic situation
Secret behind Bollywood pathetic situation. Once there was a time that Bollywood became the Indian Cinema. International media also branded Bollywood as Indian Cinema. Now the situation has changed completely.
Of late more than 98% of the films in Bollywood are unable to get even minimum positive talk. They are even accused of merely making films only for OTTs. Inside talk is more than 75% films are unable to recover their budget through theatrical rights. The makers are getting saved only through OTT deals.
Even Bollywood stars heroes are struggling to score hits. Except for couple of stars, others are unable to come with successive hits. They are facing accusation that Bollywood films are not of the standard of the south and they are far behind Malayalam films in quality content.
Tollywood and Kollywood already crossed Bollywood regarding budget of the films. Some say that due to this, the standard of Bollywood films came down. Most of the films in Bollywood are now made in low budget and even then they are failing to recover the cost. Some say this is due to the selection of directors.
From upcoming heroes to star heroes, they are setting conditions to the producers regarding the directors and producers are left with no choice but to dance to their tunes. Most of the stars in Bollywood are showing interest in doing films with few directors even though they are delivering flops. Some say, nepotism or some other reasons could be playing an important point.
Many are saying many directors without any talent are making more films. It is becoming difficult for the newcomers to make their mark in the industry. First they had to prove themselves with web series and OTT films. New directors are not getting chance to narrate the story to top stars and that was the reason, Bollywood is not seeing the rise of new directors unlike down south. In south, irrespective of the result of the films, new directors are coming up with films with top stars. Only when Bollywood gives chances to new directors and reduce nepotism, things will change for good.
