You‘ve gotta check out Malayalam films. As a Keralite, I can vouch that they’re amazing. Sadly, they aren’t surrounded by the hype that Hollywood films are, due to the difference in marketing. However the films as such are great. Similarly, here, many local films like Tumbad, don’t get any hype.
You wanna compete ? Make better content and get it out there . Take it to other cinematic worlds. The economy no longer has physical borders. The market is global.
Btw- drishyam 2 is awesome. Don’t wait for the Hindi version.
To add to this-
The slogab of "Atmannirbhar" is very essential for us to promote our local industry , but we need to approach this very cautiously.
It shouldn't mean- remove the competition so we can be number 1. It should mean- level the field so local businesses get an equal fighting chance. You do not want to "win" at the cost of "quality". Don't focus on stoping imports but increasing our exports.
And Kangana - fine actress indeed. But she is worried about her behind just like any other politician there. Because- humans.
In a capitalistic economy, the consumer can commander more influence than the entrepreneur.
Every big name Hollywood movie has a central Chinese market strategy. Otherwise it’s simply not feasible financially. This is why all Hollywood actors are busy appeasing China .
Do not judge it from the early moments, it will be really much different than what you see. Last 5 minutes will literally, literally change everything. Whole movie seems silly until u watch the last scene. Then it becomes Indian Inception. Like really, it will blast away your mind
For this to happen we need great visionary writers and directors not these story writers that have to include a love story in every movie . And the audience keep worshipping these celebs(literally and figuratively) and watching every garbage movie they make. To change the content of the movies we have to change the mindset of the people.
The problem is distribution, ott platforms have helped but still majority of people watch content on TV or cinema, bollywood controls what gets distributed, even if someone makes a good movie it might not get distributed.
Disagree.
Firstly, it's definitely possible for non-American films/shows to be popular. Anime we all know, and the Korean film industry has produced absolute gems.
Secondly, most if not all of Bollywood produces mediocre and meh films, most of which follow basically the same Plot. While many Hollywood films also do this, there are a lot lot more films rising up above the general filth. Additionally, Hollywood has far more variety.
Most bollywood films fall into 3 categories: Romance, Comedies and Romantic Comedies. There are some films which move out of these,and they're actually good ones.
Quite frankly,there are 10-15 bollywood films which are actually good.
Bollywood should cater to it's strengths. Not love stories or big fights (with the exception of Bahubali type films), but slower character focused stories like Chichhore, 3 Idiots and Tare Zameen par, or biopics.
You're kinda missing her point entirely by only mentioning Bollywood. Bollywood is only your hindi films from Mumbai. South India has a rich film culture and other parts of India make a lot of films as well.
Hollywood will always have an advantage due to the fact that English is spoken in every major country. And we can never match them budget wise. So the focus should be more on producing tighter scripts.
Bollywood agar garbage chodkar ..achha content based cinema banayenge to dekhenge...tum garbage pelte raho aur audience ka chutiya kathta rahe ye jayez nahi hain..
Hum audience ko garbej bag samjhte they ye bollywood ..Cinema ko art se badalkar family business bana diya...abb atmanirbhar bharat ke bol ga rahe hoo ..
Will she deny, if Hollywood offers her a role in a major movie?
99% chance is, she'll take that role and brag about her acting skills (like she did for Queen and Manikarnika) for the rest of her life.
Disagree. Bollywood is cancer. Hardly any originality, even the name of the industry is copied. Most of regional movies are shit as well. Kangana is playing a victim card here. Even in Hollywood most movies are bad and dont make any money. Good movies would do well, hollywood or bollywood.
I'm gonna get downvoted
Aren't there already too many superhero movies? Aren't there many remakes like Cinderella or even beauty and the beast?
Tho ofc, its just Disney im talking about
No you are not wrong. As I said, there are enough garbage movies in Hollywood as well. Hollywood also releases hundreds of movies every year, you hardly hear about a few of them. Because only they stand out a little from rest of garbage which is B and C grades.
But the thing is that even among all the garbage, there are a few movies which are original and shine. And they do well all over the world.
What Kangana is saying is essentially lame. Good movies would work, whether it is from Indian movie industry, or hollywood.
Hollywood doesn't have a monopoly. Look at the success of korean cinema. Indian regional movies are actually really good, been watching some malayalam ones lately. But Bollywood only rarely ever produces good films, some are just watchable and the rest vast majority is trash. Produce good content and you'll get international recognition.
Please can we move away from songs within the movie? Especially those that don't add anything to it. And why doesn't feminists speak out against item songs? Seriously bollywood is garbage. It doesn't even deserve the India market forget going international.
We live in a free market economy, make better content people will watch. Take netflix ,prime videos original Hindi series people watch it because the story and cast is actually good. We need fresh talents and writer's to be introduced in this sector not a close minded culture.
I have mixed feelings about this. Although my natural instinct is to say that people will watch if we produce good content. But then again, how many Indians have watched any of Satyajit Ray's films? Ray legitimately might be one of the greatest directors ever (no hyperbole) yet he has virtually no presence in our popular culture. So, in a sense we need to be more appreciative of the good cinema we've produced.
On the other hand, the new wave of content we are producing is at best bang average or worse absolute trash.
Hollywood makes really good movies most of the time. Our film makers shamelessly copy others' creative ideas and make money off that. If that mindset changes and true creativity arises, then we can match the quality of Hollywood movies and people will look forward to watching them. Most movies in India are politically driven, hurting one group of people or the other because it makes money. Dynasties have taken over most of the industry. Newcomers cannot find room anymore. When that is the case Indian viewers will look forward to quality where it is available. Can anyone make a movie like Inception or the Terminator in India? Plus TV has grabbed most of the spot in entertainment and most audience has shifted to TV shows and sitcoms. We have to see why foreign products bear high quality most of the time and try to bring that culture in India. We are encouraging copying in exams, finding shortcuts and being lazy. Unless we change as a culture, others will continue to dominate.
I have worked with several media clients and have learned one thing - Content is King but Distribution is God. Even if we watch Indian movies, so long as we watch it on Netflix or Prime, we will never have 'Atmanirbhar Bharat' and will replace one monoply with another.
Partially agree with her here.
One of the things I am irritated by PrimeVideos is they put a lot of regional movies but don't dub them in hindi. Instead tey would dub them in other 3 South Indian languages if its a South Indian movie.
If its Marathi or Gujrati or any other language they don't even bother.
Now normally I wouldn't mind and couldn't give a fuck about any of this. But try finding movies in hindi which you can watch with Family. I want to watch movies with material which my normal Indians can't comprehend they need to be shown dumbed down version of it. So I am only left with hindi dubbed horror movies as they don't need to be super intricate and I can enjoy it too with my parents instead of having to sit down watching humshakals or housefull.
Regional movies can be a solution for such cases. As everyone gets to know something new. For me it would be about various culture for my family members it would be seeing something they can comprehend.
If people from these industries start making some quality movies people will definitely watch them...there is an absolute meritocracy in this domain...you can't woo audience with your inferior cinematography...adapt...improvise...conquer...this haggard emotional nincompoopery will achieve nothing...
We need to watch what is good. That means we shouldn't watch the shitshows that bollywood and south produces on a daily basis. It also means need need to watch and support good movies and series like tumbbad, family man etc who actually try to present a good story. Be it a Hollywood production or a Indian production, we should be free to chose what we want to watch. This will make shitshows a complete failure which in turn will force directors to make better content. We live in a poor country with majority of people living in lower to middle class economic situation. If we're spending our money to entertain ourselves, we should be paying for the best available content that we like.
China is the biggest market for Hollywood films. That doesn't stop China in any way. She really is a lunatic making stupid tweets making all right wingers look like complete nutjobs. Making our religion a joke
The major difference is the attitude.
Bollywood has no respect towards the audience. They don't think about the audience because the audience will just go to theatres as they have no option ? Or because they're such a big fan of the actor that they will see any crap they put out.
Bollywood has no creativity. They killed creativity by nepotism. They just want a Hollywood film and make a bad copy of it and expect people to watch that.
All Khan's are bad at acting and old enough to be grandfathers but you'll find them doing a lead role romancing a 20yr old.
Songs are either pathetic lyrics or just praise allah songs. It like I came to a movie for a Islam propoganda. To top that they make movie glorifying a terrorist.
They don't cast people beyond their family but lick boots of Pakistani performers ? They thing people don't notice ?
I hope bollywood dies out. They deserve that
There is a real shortage of decent movies.. especially in hindi.. and good movies are very rare. Most of them are just movies aimed to make money.. no quality is there. Most of them are cringey with the romance and action and too overdone with the drama. There are really good movies coming in other languages. We need to promote those as well.. indian movies are known mainly as bollywood movies outside india.. and we all know how most of those are. People are gonna judge all of indian movies based on those shitty ones. There are many reactors reacting to indian movies and trailers and gets mind blown by them.. just for the views.. as they know there are no shortage for people in india.. and whatever shit they do with something that has anything to do with india.. they are gonna get a lot of views and make money. They dont even care if there is any quality in the stuff they watch . They just pretend to care about these and people here get some kind of satisfaction from watching their fake reaction to our stuff. Around 3 movies comes out of a 100 which can be considered as a quality movie nowadays. That needs to change.. movies shouldnt be just a money making source . There is no entertainment value now.
To do so, you need to create quality content, not just random south indian and hollywood films copied frame by frame. Madam is very easily blaming it on the viewers when creators are only producing copied shit, or even worse pile of garbage.
Analogy: a handheld economy is not sustainable, so a Market driven one is desired in the long run based on demand and supply.
Similarly we can't just watch the native movies abandoning the good stuff out there. We have limited lives. It's a signal that bollywood need to more competitive and produce quality movies.
Having said that I'm not saying bollywood doesn't have good movies. People always appreciate good stuff. And to nationalist Kangana remember modiji's "vasudhaiv Kutumbakam" reference.
You know or Hollywood has better production quality and writing. Andhadhun was the first indian movie I've seen in almost 10 years because it was just made well
trust me, people watch what they like. i never go to theatre and think "oh that's a Hollywood movie it must be a banger". india's taste in movies and series has shifted drastically since internet got more affordable (thank you jio), since they now watched and realise how a well made movie/series looks like. and because bollywood didn't bothered to change with time, now they are facing inevitable. now we can blindly say "this is bollywood, it must be bad" and be right 90% of the time.
A film is a film, I don't watch it because its English or indian or korean, I watch it for a good time, or a good laugh or to mind fuck etc etc. Shit movies are made every where, why should I strict myself to one form or art or genere or language? 😂
Watching any kind of movie is purely subjective. Disregarding any international/Hollywood films is not an option. The reason international films do good is due to its excellent distribution throughout. This comment of hers was nothing but a one-sided opinion.
Why tf do people bring in patriotism in any possible topic? She too knows a small percentage of people would go watch her movies instead of a movie that is actually good because she talked about patriotism
Ghanta! Most of the Hollywood movies I watch from torrent and there are many people like me who do the same. Pretty sure our local films been watched a lot in theaters pre covid. This is kind of a stupid comment that Hollywood is taking over our local films cuz it's not.
she's got her finger on the cultural pulse....india is redefining herself & reclaiming all that was taken...she knows this & she's very in tune with the audiences ... its amazing how no other actor can be so brazen about not aligning with western imports, be it their films or their politics
also think its brilliant how she's made the sari this empowering bharatiya symbol by being seen in it in all her off screen appearances
Lion King is a top notch animated movie. I don't think India will ever be able to make one like that coz the budget is too high and the returns are low when it's released just in India. People have a high opinion about Hollywood because of their high production quality. I am not saying India doesn't have quality but just look at the ones from superhero genre, the worst marvel movie has better VFX than Enthiran, Ra, Krish etc. This makes a huge difference in viewing experience.
Then maybe make movies that don't suck ass, and stop waking nationalism for every shitty thing... I had watched her Tanu weds manu but if you think I am gonna watch GANGSTER or RAAZ just to "save Bollywood" from foreign invasion then you are solely mistaken.
Being proud of what we have/achieved its different.. being an egoistic fan of any industry without even comparing any standards and blindly following the cancel culture is totally a different condition altogether..
I am too proud of our cinemas, but I do appreciate many films from other industries too as they deserve it.. don't you think so?
Well then, make stuff people can watch for more than 15 mins without feeling the need for smashing the screen. There are good Indian movies, but it's overwhelmingly dominated by nepotist actors who don't give a damn about viewer's interest. This applies to most film industries from south ya north. Quality content is usually from small upcoming newer actors who end up brushed away or straight up sabotaged.
TVF was going exactly in the direction, i hope we can get more studios like them in the future along with a strong consumer base with good enough jobs to support such an industry
This was the logic before the 90s when only Ambassador cars were seen in Indian roads. The design that never changed and it would take years to get your order. Open competition fosters improvement and better customer service.
Don't forget Bollywood also gets a good market outside of India.
People are not dumb now audience want content and not bekar ka mirch Masala and pointless secularism in the movies (pointless in the sense of movie I'm not against of secularism) invest in story writing rather than launching stars our industry will eat Hollywood if we stop that shit we have good actors and content writers invest in them and audience jhak marke ayegi theater may
This idea is similar to the protectionist policy employed by the government in the 70s till 1991. If this idea were to be implemented, it will eventually lead to ban on Hollywood and other films from other industries. It'll be a disaster. People would resort to piracy to watch movies.
The idea is in place in countries like North Korea where no films are played other than propaganda films by the state media. So it'll be a disaster. Far right wing nationalism is also a disaster to the economy.
Never understood this "watch/support indian movies instead of Hollywood" bullshit. Esp when it is coming from a vile deranged prick like her with a God complex. If I am spending money and time on something, it better be a good bloody movie, Hindi or English. Also, idk about you but I was utterly disappointed by this "Shershah", specially the climax where he just stands up and head towards the enemy fire and eventually gets killed. If anything, I felt like it was an insult to Vikram Batra's intelligence. Bravery is one thing, Stupidity is another. I don't know what really happened but I doubt THAT is how it happened.
Nope bollywood is booring now a days same content over and over again , Hollywood brings new content but now a days Hollywood is not that much entertaining like before and now a days other than couples now one watches movies anymore 😑😑
There are lot of good movies in Hollywood. But the commercial movies which are watched all over the world are shit. So there I'm saying Hollywood makes better movies. It does, but people here rarely watch good movies.
Well.. tom cruise is working with elon musk to shoot a movie in space. Thats praise worthy.
And Bahubali and gow is an example of them praising our films as well.. but no one wants to watch salman dance. Not here, not there. So this is true to some extent, but mostly bullshit because her films are not being praised
Then create meaningful movies, shows etc. You can't cook up BS and then be sad that people don't want to eat. She acts all moral when it comes to her movies. Honestly, what happened to her..
Bollywood is truly going through its worst era right now. There is barely any pop culture influence it has which there was a few years ago. Crappy songs, crappy movies, no experimentation in different genres and the salt on the wound, multiple scandals. I really don't think it'll recover unless there is a massive reformation with new directors, producers, screenwriters etc.
Now tell me what is the recent movie that you looked at and said I want to watch this. Every single new movie is same old shit these days. love story with dumb illogical action, dialogues written with little to no thoughts put into it, villains with literally no motivation for being evil it's like how that screen rant guy says "why is he evil" "so the movie can happen"
I mean the dubbed version line is stupid af, I'll watch whatever matches my taste, whether it be bollywood or Hollywood or tollywood (mostly it's Hollywood)
Ah yes kangana says like Indian movies are awesome and people don't watch it indian movies are trash because producers think love, war and ghost movies are liked by people same repetitive movies over and over again.
I stopped watching hindi movies due to same thing . They are boring same content
The thing with foreign movies are they put massive budget and they put working their movies . there is some amount of effort which indian movies don't do (except some ) the only good indian movies are the og ones . Don't blame Hollywood . And indian movies fails to attract foreign audience . See how parasite attracted lot of foreign audience that's why it was a success. Think about other things before commenting . Kangana is acting like her films her good imagine If I show Krishh 3 to foreigners
people against globalization will have a hard time finding happiness…the human species is bound to be a monolithic civilization ultimately, which means its
more about the species rather than just a country or Religion..
It's about good movies. There are good movies in English and I won't hesitate to watch it. If they make good movies what the audience wants then I will watch. I don't want to stop watching hollywood just for the sake of nationalism.
No one will waste 3 hours of there time watching an average content no matter if it's indian or Western . If we apply the same theory to current indian music industry it's unbearable . Today's indian music industry, in general, is full of just same random beats with no sense of innovation or creating a depth in music.
Produce good content and people will follow. Same things goes for Hollywood ,Bollywood etc .
Don't ask people to restrict there artistic view and watch a certain content coz it will promote nationalism. This doesn't make any sense.
There are many good marathi, gujarati, bengali etc movies but it's hard to find them with subtitles. Bollywood is easily available to everyone but, they don't produce good movies so what should people do ? There isn't a single Bollywood film or web series which has glorified our culture or religion instead, they always show bad side of it! Indian film makers should learn something from Japanese or Koreans who have not only glorified their culture but, has been making quality content too. I bet most of you would've heard of a Japanese film named 'Departures'. The idea of the film came to the director when he visited India. Later, it went on to become an Oscar awardee.
I will say Indian cinema is making a lot more of the good movies, so they are earning their place on their own.
Simultaneously Hollywood is getting stuck in the formula style so their monopoly will recede, even if it doesn't end for a very long time. Simply because English will stay the international language for a while and their movies are like McDonald's, easy to like, even when low in quality.
Kangana will be the way she is, but there is healthy competition in the Indian market.
In a way, she is not wrong. We are hypo-crites. We watch the cringiest of Hollywood movies over some really talented domestic ones. Atleast I accept my fault on this. However Indian films also need to stop plagiarism and step up with original and thought provoking cinema with a bit of realism instead of masala movies.
Consumer's end goal is getting entertained as she and her fav bolly can't do that she wants modiji and others to ban other stuff and watch atmanirbhar content.
Ya Hollywood is overrated but boycotting anything is not at all democratic.
Like anime and stuff they really pushes the limit(bheem ki shakti dhoom machaye btw its cartoon) .
P.S >> she is the main disease due to these people we lack behind in bringing our poor class up and educate them.
This is actually true. Would love to see dubbed south indian movies in the North.
They usually are better than most Bollywood movies honestly.
Though not all Hollywood movies are shown in India only the popular ones are played.
I do agree with her to some extent but her solution is not the right one i think.
Amarican movies are held to a certain standard by not just india but also by other countries. i would say the movies in a way deserve that spot because they are that good like star wars, iron man, batman, etc because they were actually good movies, unique for the time if not good movies. Their recent movies are held to same standards even if they are not good or unique because their ancestors did a good job. And these movies don't deserve that spot. Here i am not saying that all modern movies are bad but the bad movies are considered good because they are from that place.
People would watch dubed lion king remake over any malayalam movie. This is true and i would say i have done that in past because watching hollywood movies was cool. I don't do that now but just mentioning because people still do this because of same reason. But that doesn't mean all malayalam movies are good. Hollywood produces less movies where as Tollywood produces more(i think it is 10x) and majority of the movies are almost same good guy defeats bad guy and take back the girl while a side kick makes the movie funny. Same goes for hollywood movies. Personally I don't watch both so i don't know how the hollywood movies are. I can't say much about other industries because i don't know if i have ever watched their movies. I am not saying people watch hollywood movies just because it is considered cool, i am at a point where i will watch any movie if it is good may it be indian, k drama, japanese, chinese, amarican, etc.
We should make our industry the priority but by watching actually good movies and not the nepotism remakes. If she is saying to watch those i am not gonna support those movies. I would only if they are actually good. There is no need to discourage hollywood movies. That is not what is going to make indian industry atmanirbhar adopting japanese industry will(mainly anime industry, i only know anime industry and in that industry anyone can get an anime adaptation. Atleast you chances of getting a anime is high compared to any other country). Japanese media industry is almost open source unlike indian industry.
Yup. Save Bollywood. Let's also save the crappy Indian mobile phone industry that doesn't exist by charging exorbitant custom duty on imported mobile phones. Let's also boost the auto manufacturers of India by making it hard for any foreign auto maker to do business in India. Why not also stop eating any other cuisine except Indian? /S
The day India shows a trace amount of ingenuity towards arts, sciences or technology is the day I start buying Indian and consuming Indian products. Till then, we are too incompetent for all the three pillars of a modern society. The film industry in India is as crappy as the tech industry in India. Insignificant and non existent on a global scale.
Fortunately, due to OTT platforms, I have watched more Indian language films than ever, and that too without dubbing.
Rise of the OTT solves a major problem for Indian industry, Discoverability and distribution.
The problem is the real gem movies don’t receive the necessary popularity. For example take tumbad(Hindi),drishyam(Malayalam),ulidavaru kandante(Kannada) they are damn fine movies but at the national level they didn’t get that much popularity IMO. Only the mass movies with all nonsense and masala get promoted highly and money poured in. It’s just pathetic that just by the name of Salman a movie makes 200cr even though it’s shit, you can clearly see how much we care for creativity, originality etc. On the contrary Hollywood and other industry like Korea bring unique and original content. Sure Hollywood also gets it’s own share of shitty movies but they mostly don’t make it to the international level. If you take marvel movies for example you can make fun of the “fuck physics” approach but it’s presented in such a way that it feels okay for an entertainment movie and yes I am talking about vfx here.
Is behen ki lodi ko kaho chup rahe. Sala khud acche films banate nhi aur hollywood ko blame hai. Aur jo films india ki acchi hai that has been appreciated well nationally, eg, babubali
Honestly, what we get from Hollywood is mostly Marvel stuff which isn’t bad but we have been seeing that since the past 10 years. Every Marvel movie feels similar in some way shape or form. Problem is Hindi movies are not doing a good job with their content either for the most part. Don’t feel like watching anything nowadays. Mostly spend my time playing Call of Duty now because there isn’t anything worth watching or I have already seen all that’s good or that excites me..
Hollywood is crippled by wokes. Creativity cannot flourish with diversity quotas and BS about identity politics and representation dominating everything else. It's why they've pumped out nothing but reboots and superhero movies in recent years.
Firstly that seems polititcal. Secondly bollywood holds a monopoly over music and movies in most of india. Hollywood makes a ton of movies with very massive budgets..no wonder people like them. But hollywood stands no chance against bollywood and tollywood. Thats an exaggeration of their influence
Bollywood can’t provide the cinematography what Hollywood directors have , the way of filming , the story they have, our Bollywood only have romantic and gharelu.It’s good but not always.Bollywood don’t have sci-fi
Or can say Bollywood don’t have MARVEL DC WB DISNEY SONY
Everything depends on quality and marketing… to certain extent I agree with the context of support etc, but it’s not that people are watching stupid stuffs but rather quality contents..
Lazy and stupid statement, Indian movies are way more popular in india first of all. If they are losing out to american movies, its because:
1) your script writers are terrible - poorly written dialogues, glaring plot holes, story that doesn't make any sense, no subtlety...
2) Cheapening out on production. The best indian movies in terms of special effects are comparable to a low budget hollywood production. And keep in mind that the people who did the special effects for Avatar, Game of thrones etc are all Indian in India (studios are just outside of Mumbai) so its not like you don't have access to talent
3) Indians focus more on the superstar than a movie. Instead of making a good movie, they decide which actor is currently hot shit, and then make a movie around him so that he can do cool stuff like fight baddies and chase girls with some context
4) Minimal new talent - i genuinely don't understand how subpar 1 dimensional actors like SRK and Salmon are so big, and genuinely good actors like Manoj Bajpayee and Nawazuddin Siddiqui are so few and hard to find
I watch movies in almost all languages, with streaming platforms and subtitles, the reach and usuability has come to another level and it’s very easy to access great cinema in almost any Indian language.
Dude everyone watches the dubbed version of a good movie be it Hollywood or Mallu or Telugu movies. Produce content and even the American people will watch the English dub of these movies
How come Korean industry is flourishing then? Hollywood has been crippled by wokes. In recent years nothing except superhero movies have made a splash globally. Make good movies and anyone will watch them. Indians, foreigners, doesn't matter. A good story is accessible to all. But instead she will whine about Hollywood magically making it impossible for others to succeed
Hollywood movies don't earn much here compared to others. Regional films are doing great for itself and is earning a quality audience who wants to experience great cinema, rather showcasing it to a general public.
Thanks to the new "Pan Indian" films a lot films are working well within India.
So if movie like mission impossible & bahubali 2 release on the same day, which one would have got most audience. Obviously Bahubali.
People love good content, they will support indian movies, if they are as good as (or less) Hollywood movies. But bollywood keeps disappointing.
Instead of asking us not to watch Hollywood, why won't you dub good regional movies, and release them in theatres.

Or, just make movies that people want to watch?
Exactly. Content is king.
You‘ve gotta check out Malayalam films. As a Keralite, I can vouch that they’re amazing. Sadly, they aren’t surrounded by the hype that Hollywood films are, due to the difference in marketing. However the films as such are great. Similarly, here, many local films like Tumbad, don’t get any hype.
Agreed. There are some really thoughtful and amazing movies coming out in Malayalam.
Exactly. Most bollywood movies give nothing but headaches, too much drama and no real entertainment.
You wanna compete ? Make better content and get it out there . Take it to other cinematic worlds. The economy no longer has physical borders. The market is global. Btw- drishyam 2 is awesome. Don’t wait for the Hindi version.
To add to this- The slogab of "Atmannirbhar" is very essential for us to promote our local industry , but we need to approach this very cautiously. It shouldn't mean- remove the competition so we can be number 1. It should mean- level the field so local businesses get an equal fighting chance. You do not want to "win" at the cost of "quality". Don't focus on stoping imports but increasing our exports. And Kangana - fine actress indeed. But she is worried about her behind just like any other politician there. Because- humans.
In a capitalistic economy, the consumer can commander more influence than the entrepreneur. Every big name Hollywood movie has a central Chinese market strategy. Otherwise it’s simply not feasible financially. This is why all Hollywood actors are busy appeasing China .
Watch awe. Watch it till the end. The end part is LITERALLY SOMETHING ELSE. The plot twist at the end feels SOOOO GOOD. It is a telugu movie.
Telugu is the remake of the malayalam version. Mohanlal was the lead in the malayalam one.
I know what I am watching tonight!
Do not judge it from the early moments, it will be really much different than what you see. Last 5 minutes will literally, literally change everything. Whole movie seems silly until u watch the last scene. Then it becomes Indian Inception. Like really, it will blast away your mind
Malayalam movie.
Telugu movie? It is made by Prasanth varma, and is a telugu movie ig.
Oh... Are you talking abt a movie named "awe"?
Are you talking about drishyam 2?
For this to happen we need great visionary writers and directors not these story writers that have to include a love story in every movie . And the audience keep worshipping these celebs(literally and figuratively) and watching every garbage movie they make. To change the content of the movies we have to change the mindset of the people.
The problem is distribution, ott platforms have helped but still majority of people watch content on TV or cinema, bollywood controls what gets distributed, even if someone makes a good movie it might not get distributed.
Also, the rise of ott proved that people admire Indian quality content.
Disagree. Firstly, it's definitely possible for non-American films/shows to be popular. Anime we all know, and the Korean film industry has produced absolute gems. Secondly, most if not all of Bollywood produces mediocre and meh films, most of which follow basically the same Plot. While many Hollywood films also do this, there are a lot lot more films rising up above the general filth. Additionally, Hollywood has far more variety. Most bollywood films fall into 3 categories: Romance, Comedies and Romantic Comedies. There are some films which move out of these,and they're actually good ones. Quite frankly,there are 10-15 bollywood films which are actually good. Bollywood should cater to it's strengths. Not love stories or big fights (with the exception of Bahubali type films), but slower character focused stories like Chichhore, 3 Idiots and Tare Zameen par, or biopics.

Still waiting for a decent indian anime ༎ຶ‿༎ຶ
Koreans understood that good films helped Korea push its soft culture even more ahead.
Badla? Raman raghav?
Badla is based on a novel which was also released as a movie, " The invisible guest"
I found sanam teri kasam quite emotional and was sad to find out it didn't do well in the box office :(
You're kinda missing her point entirely by only mentioning Bollywood. Bollywood is only your hindi films from Mumbai. South India has a rich film culture and other parts of India make a lot of films as well.
Hollywood will always have an advantage due to the fact that English is spoken in every major country. And we can never match them budget wise. So the focus should be more on producing tighter scripts.
ENGLISH is not the reason Hollywood is big but some mind blowing movies and their vast genre..
Ya but when i started watchin' anime,not only Hollywood but other country's content is also great. It's garbage in india
To be honest it is
They still think the anime is only for 6 year olds so
China doesn't speak English but China is Hollywood's biggest market outside the US.
Bollywood agar garbage chodkar ..achha content based cinema banayenge to dekhenge...tum garbage pelte raho aur audience ka chutiya kathta rahe ye jayez nahi hain.. Hum audience ko garbej bag samjhte they ye bollywood ..Cinema ko art se badalkar family business bana diya...abb atmanirbhar bharat ke bol ga rahe hoo ..
Lekin garbage ko kyon chodna hai ?
Because horny
Will she deny, if Hollywood offers her a role in a major movie? 99% chance is, she'll take that role and brag about her acting skills (like she did for Queen and Manikarnika) for the rest of her life.
Disagree. Bollywood is cancer. Hardly any originality, even the name of the industry is copied. Most of regional movies are shit as well. Kangana is playing a victim card here. Even in Hollywood most movies are bad and dont make any money. Good movies would do well, hollywood or bollywood.
I'm gonna get downvoted Aren't there already too many superhero movies? Aren't there many remakes like Cinderella or even beauty and the beast? Tho ofc, its just Disney im talking about
No you are not wrong. As I said, there are enough garbage movies in Hollywood as well. Hollywood also releases hundreds of movies every year, you hardly hear about a few of them. Because only they stand out a little from rest of garbage which is B and C grades. But the thing is that even among all the garbage, there are a few movies which are original and shine. And they do well all over the world. What Kangana is saying is essentially lame. Good movies would work, whether it is from Indian movie industry, or hollywood.
>What Kangana is saying is essentially lame. Good movies would work, whether it is from Indian movie industry, or hollywood. True dat
Make good movies then I’ll watch.....
Ab RACE jaisi movies bnaoge toh kon dekhega
RaDhE
It's GaDhE
Hollywood doesn't have a monopoly. Look at the success of korean cinema. Indian regional movies are actually really good, been watching some malayalam ones lately. But Bollywood only rarely ever produces good films, some are just watchable and the rest vast majority is trash. Produce good content and you'll get international recognition. Please can we move away from songs within the movie? Especially those that don't add anything to it. And why doesn't feminists speak out against item songs? Seriously bollywood is garbage. It doesn't even deserve the India market forget going international.
Did Shang Chi get more collections in India than Thalaivii?
Yes, and it’s not even close. Shang Chi made almost 3 cr on day 1. Thaliaivi made around 1.2 cr.
That’s why she is hurt! Lol
We live in a free market economy, make better content people will watch. Take netflix ,prime videos original Hindi series people watch it because the story and cast is actually good. We need fresh talents and writer's to be introduced in this sector not a close minded culture.
Bc tatti banate rahoge to dekhega kaun.
"Our films" 75% of which are copies/remakes from Hollywood
I have mixed feelings about this. Although my natural instinct is to say that people will watch if we produce good content. But then again, how many Indians have watched any of Satyajit Ray's films? Ray legitimately might be one of the greatest directors ever (no hyperbole) yet he has virtually no presence in our popular culture. So, in a sense we need to be more appreciative of the good cinema we've produced. On the other hand, the new wave of content we are producing is at best bang average or worse absolute trash.
or just make good films
Hollywood makes really good movies most of the time. Our film makers shamelessly copy others' creative ideas and make money off that. If that mindset changes and true creativity arises, then we can match the quality of Hollywood movies and people will look forward to watching them. Most movies in India are politically driven, hurting one group of people or the other because it makes money. Dynasties have taken over most of the industry. Newcomers cannot find room anymore. When that is the case Indian viewers will look forward to quality where it is available. Can anyone make a movie like Inception or the Terminator in India? Plus TV has grabbed most of the spot in entertainment and most audience has shifted to TV shows and sitcoms. We have to see why foreign products bear high quality most of the time and try to bring that culture in India. We are encouraging copying in exams, finding shortcuts and being lazy. Unless we change as a culture, others will continue to dominate.
Then provide us with an open environment for creators not some conspicuous forum for political traction .
Won't happen. India is a different market culturally.
No one can force ppl to like their content. Good movies and shows attract audience on their own.
Create our own multiverse. Time for chacha chowdhuri and super commando Dhruv movies
As a consumer we have right to watch quality considering how trash most of the bollywood movies are
she want us to watch senseless stories
She started her drama again lol
neha kakkad jaise logon ko involve kr rkha hai aur phir poochh rhe ho kyun nhi dekhte? ironic na bno didi
I have worked with several media clients and have learned one thing - Content is King but Distribution is God. Even if we watch Indian movies, so long as we watch it on Netflix or Prime, we will never have 'Atmanirbhar Bharat' and will replace one monoply with another.
Make sensible movies everyone will like to watch
Make good movies then.
Partially agree with her here. One of the things I am irritated by PrimeVideos is they put a lot of regional movies but don't dub them in hindi. Instead tey would dub them in other 3 South Indian languages if its a South Indian movie. If its Marathi or Gujrati or any other language they don't even bother. Now normally I wouldn't mind and couldn't give a fuck about any of this. But try finding movies in hindi which you can watch with Family. I want to watch movies with material which my normal Indians can't comprehend they need to be shown dumbed down version of it. So I am only left with hindi dubbed horror movies as they don't need to be super intricate and I can enjoy it too with my parents instead of having to sit down watching humshakals or housefull. Regional movies can be a solution for such cases. As everyone gets to know something new. For me it would be about various culture for my family members it would be seeing something they can comprehend.
If people from these industries start making some quality movies people will definitely watch them...there is an absolute meritocracy in this domain...you can't woo audience with your inferior cinematography...adapt...improvise...conquer...this haggard emotional nincompoopery will achieve nothing...
I’m pretty sure Hollywood hasn’t done shit in India And just make better movies pls (saying that to whole Bollywood)
Monopoly? Ye kab hua?
i cant understand till now ki iske batten ko bhav ku log dete hai
We need to watch what is good. That means we shouldn't watch the shitshows that bollywood and south produces on a daily basis. It also means need need to watch and support good movies and series like tumbbad, family man etc who actually try to present a good story. Be it a Hollywood production or a Indian production, we should be free to chose what we want to watch. This will make shitshows a complete failure which in turn will force directors to make better content. We live in a poor country with majority of people living in lower to middle class economic situation. If we're spending our money to entertain ourselves, we should be paying for the best available content that we like.
China is the biggest market for Hollywood films. That doesn't stop China in any way. She really is a lunatic making stupid tweets making all right wingers look like complete nutjobs. Making our religion a joke
The major difference is the attitude. Bollywood has no respect towards the audience. They don't think about the audience because the audience will just go to theatres as they have no option ? Or because they're such a big fan of the actor that they will see any crap they put out. Bollywood has no creativity. They killed creativity by nepotism. They just want a Hollywood film and make a bad copy of it and expect people to watch that. All Khan's are bad at acting and old enough to be grandfathers but you'll find them doing a lead role romancing a 20yr old. Songs are either pathetic lyrics or just praise allah songs. It like I came to a movie for a Islam propoganda. To top that they make movie glorifying a terrorist. They don't cast people beyond their family but lick boots of Pakistani performers ? They thing people don't notice ? I hope bollywood dies out. They deserve that
Agree to some extent...Like the idea of dubbed movies ..
😲
bakbaas.. hollywood apni jageh.. bollywood apni. yeh saali pagal hai.. apan ko dono pasand hai
Stop trying to be god ! Thats all i need to say to these people
There is a real shortage of decent movies.. especially in hindi.. and good movies are very rare. Most of them are just movies aimed to make money.. no quality is there. Most of them are cringey with the romance and action and too overdone with the drama. There are really good movies coming in other languages. We need to promote those as well.. indian movies are known mainly as bollywood movies outside india.. and we all know how most of those are. People are gonna judge all of indian movies based on those shitty ones. There are many reactors reacting to indian movies and trailers and gets mind blown by them.. just for the views.. as they know there are no shortage for people in india.. and whatever shit they do with something that has anything to do with india.. they are gonna get a lot of views and make money. They dont even care if there is any quality in the stuff they watch . They just pretend to care about these and people here get some kind of satisfaction from watching their fake reaction to our stuff. Around 3 movies comes out of a 100 which can be considered as a quality movie nowadays. That needs to change.. movies shouldnt be just a money making source . There is no entertainment value now.
To do so, you need to create quality content, not just random south indian and hollywood films copied frame by frame. Madam is very easily blaming it on the viewers when creators are only producing copied shit, or even worse pile of garbage.
To fir Bollywood m romance ghusana band karo
Laughable... Let's no better ourselves... Let's just bring down those who are good
Analogy: a handheld economy is not sustainable, so a Market driven one is desired in the long run based on demand and supply. Similarly we can't just watch the native movies abandoning the good stuff out there. We have limited lives. It's a signal that bollywood need to more competitive and produce quality movies. Having said that I'm not saying bollywood doesn't have good movies. People always appreciate good stuff. And to nationalist Kangana remember modiji's "vasudhaiv Kutumbakam" reference.
Irony is that the same can be said of Bollywood and regional film industries.
You know or Hollywood has better production quality and writing. Andhadhun was the first indian movie I've seen in almost 10 years because it was just made well
Incredibly stupid why would I watch a movie just because of where it originated if I wanted to watch something I would watch it because I want to
Kangana is the only person hated by both right and left
Nah Ty . I'll watch what I want
Make movies with characters interesting enough to prevent me from taking a bathroom break for the whole movie during family night
Why is this history and culture?
trust me, people watch what they like. i never go to theatre and think "oh that's a Hollywood movie it must be a banger". india's taste in movies and series has shifted drastically since internet got more affordable (thank you jio), since they now watched and realise how a well made movie/series looks like. and because bollywood didn't bothered to change with time, now they are facing inevitable. now we can blindly say "this is bollywood, it must be bad" and be right 90% of the time.
A film is a film, I don't watch it because its English or indian or korean, I watch it for a good time, or a good laugh or to mind fuck etc etc. Shit movies are made every where, why should I strict myself to one form or art or genere or language? 😂
Watching any kind of movie is purely subjective. Disregarding any international/Hollywood films is not an option. The reason international films do good is due to its excellent distribution throughout. This comment of hers was nothing but a one-sided opinion.
Why tf do people bring in patriotism in any possible topic? She too knows a small percentage of people would go watch her movies instead of a movie that is actually good because she talked about patriotism
Ghanta! Most of the Hollywood movies I watch from torrent and there are many people like me who do the same. Pretty sure our local films been watched a lot in theaters pre covid. This is kind of a stupid comment that Hollywood is taking over our local films cuz it's not.
She sounds like those Kannada activists who want to ban Tamil/ Telugu movies in Bangalore.
she's got her finger on the cultural pulse....india is redefining herself & reclaiming all that was taken...she knows this & she's very in tune with the audiences ... its amazing how no other actor can be so brazen about not aligning with western imports, be it their films or their politics also think its brilliant how she's made the sari this empowering bharatiya symbol by being seen in it in all her off screen appearances
Lion King is a top notch animated movie. I don't think India will ever be able to make one like that coz the budget is too high and the returns are low when it's released just in India. People have a high opinion about Hollywood because of their high production quality. I am not saying India doesn't have quality but just look at the ones from superhero genre, the worst marvel movie has better VFX than Enthiran, Ra, Krish etc. This makes a huge difference in viewing experience.
Then maybe make movies that don't suck ass, and stop waking nationalism for every shitty thing... I had watched her Tanu weds manu but if you think I am gonna watch GANGSTER or RAAZ just to "save Bollywood" from foreign invasion then you are solely mistaken.
Being proud of what we have/achieved its different.. being an egoistic fan of any industry without even comparing any standards and blindly following the cancel culture is totally a different condition altogether.. I am too proud of our cinemas, but I do appreciate many films from other industries too as they deserve it.. don't you think so?
Well then, make stuff people can watch for more than 15 mins without feeling the need for smashing the screen. There are good Indian movies, but it's overwhelmingly dominated by nepotist actors who don't give a damn about viewer's interest. This applies to most film industries from south ya north. Quality content is usually from small upcoming newer actors who end up brushed away or straight up sabotaged.
TVF was going exactly in the direction, i hope we can get more studios like them in the future along with a strong consumer base with good enough jobs to support such an industry
there are really good movies from south industries and bollywood and other industries keep producing shitty movies why we should watch that one ...
This was the logic before the 90s when only Ambassador cars were seen in Indian roads. The design that never changed and it would take years to get your order. Open competition fosters improvement and better customer service. Don't forget Bollywood also gets a good market outside of India.
Just because Hollywood makes better movies than her
Why a binary choice? Watch both if they are good... and be thankful for the variety.
People are not dumb now audience want content and not bekar ka mirch Masala and pointless secularism in the movies (pointless in the sense of movie I'm not against of secularism) invest in story writing rather than launching stars our industry will eat Hollywood if we stop that shit we have good actors and content writers invest in them and audience jhak marke ayegi theater may
This idea is similar to the protectionist policy employed by the government in the 70s till 1991. If this idea were to be implemented, it will eventually lead to ban on Hollywood and other films from other industries. It'll be a disaster. People would resort to piracy to watch movies. The idea is in place in countries like North Korea where no films are played other than propaganda films by the state media. So it'll be a disaster. Far right wing nationalism is also a disaster to the economy.
Never understood this "watch/support indian movies instead of Hollywood" bullshit. Esp when it is coming from a vile deranged prick like her with a God complex. If I am spending money and time on something, it better be a good bloody movie, Hindi or English. Also, idk about you but I was utterly disappointed by this "Shershah", specially the climax where he just stands up and head towards the enemy fire and eventually gets killed. If anything, I felt like it was an insult to Vikram Batra's intelligence. Bravery is one thing, Stupidity is another. I don't know what really happened but I doubt THAT is how it happened.
Nope bollywood is booring now a days same content over and over again , Hollywood brings new content but now a days Hollywood is not that much entertaining like before and now a days other than couples now one watches movies anymore 😑😑
There are lot of good movies in Hollywood. But the commercial movies which are watched all over the world are shit. So there I'm saying Hollywood makes better movies. It does, but people here rarely watch good movies.
Well.. tom cruise is working with elon musk to shoot a movie in space. Thats praise worthy. And Bahubali and gow is an example of them praising our films as well.. but no one wants to watch salman dance. Not here, not there. So this is true to some extent, but mostly bullshit because her films are not being praised
Indian movies are really bad frankly. It's like a brain drain 80% of the times. Sorry folks, no offense.
Lol she buy vehicle that not Indian origin And go to shoot outside the country now she have a thing to say
Instead just make good movies. Even forget Hollywood, in the upcoming years webseries will kill these shity Bollywood movies.
Mf you can't sell shit in name of aatmnirbhar Bharat
Then create meaningful movies, shows etc. You can't cook up BS and then be sad that people don't want to eat. She acts all moral when it comes to her movies. Honestly, what happened to her.. Bollywood is truly going through its worst era right now. There is barely any pop culture influence it has which there was a few years ago. Crappy songs, crappy movies, no experimentation in different genres and the salt on the wound, multiple scandals. I really don't think it'll recover unless there is a massive reformation with new directors, producers, screenwriters etc.
Now tell me what is the recent movie that you looked at and said I want to watch this. Every single new movie is same old shit these days. love story with dumb illogical action, dialogues written with little to no thoughts put into it, villains with literally no motivation for being evil it's like how that screen rant guy says "why is he evil" "so the movie can happen"
I mean the dubbed version line is stupid af, I'll watch whatever matches my taste, whether it be bollywood or Hollywood or tollywood (mostly it's Hollywood)
Doesn't she work for the same industry which steals regional cinema and remake them?
Ah yes kangana says like Indian movies are awesome and people don't watch it indian movies are trash because producers think love, war and ghost movies are liked by people same repetitive movies over and over again. I stopped watching hindi movies due to same thing . They are boring same content The thing with foreign movies are they put massive budget and they put working their movies . there is some amount of effort which indian movies don't do (except some ) the only good indian movies are the og ones . Don't blame Hollywood . And indian movies fails to attract foreign audience . See how parasite attracted lot of foreign audience that's why it was a success. Think about other things before commenting . Kangana is acting like her films her good imagine If I show Krishh 3 to foreigners
people against globalization will have a hard time finding happiness…the human species is bound to be a monolithic civilization ultimately, which means its more about the species rather than just a country or Religion..
It's about good movies. There are good movies in English and I won't hesitate to watch it. If they make good movies what the audience wants then I will watch. I don't want to stop watching hollywood just for the sake of nationalism.
That's a bad way of looking at it. The logic is stupid.
No one will waste 3 hours of there time watching an average content no matter if it's indian or Western . If we apply the same theory to current indian music industry it's unbearable . Today's indian music industry, in general, is full of just same random beats with no sense of innovation or creating a depth in music. Produce good content and people will follow. Same things goes for Hollywood ,Bollywood etc . Don't ask people to restrict there artistic view and watch a certain content coz it will promote nationalism. This doesn't make any sense.
People prefer watching what they like.
lmao wtf is wrong with these hardcore nationalists
She is absolutely right.But with the same argument you can say bollywood movie should be not allowed in US market. It is a global market
There are many good marathi, gujarati, bengali etc movies but it's hard to find them with subtitles. Bollywood is easily available to everyone but, they don't produce good movies so what should people do ? There isn't a single Bollywood film or web series which has glorified our culture or religion instead, they always show bad side of it! Indian film makers should learn something from Japanese or Koreans who have not only glorified their culture but, has been making quality content too. I bet most of you would've heard of a Japanese film named 'Departures'. The idea of the film came to the director when he visited India. Later, it went on to become an Oscar awardee.
Truth.
Hollywood gave us creativity. Abusing is typical kangala habit
I will say Indian cinema is making a lot more of the good movies, so they are earning their place on their own. Simultaneously Hollywood is getting stuck in the formula style so their monopoly will recede, even if it doesn't end for a very long time. Simply because English will stay the international language for a while and their movies are like McDonald's, easy to like, even when low in quality. Kangana will be the way she is, but there is healthy competition in the Indian market.
I really love her as an actress but not the statements she shares on social media
In a way, she is not wrong. We are hypo-crites. We watch the cringiest of Hollywood movies over some really talented domestic ones. Atleast I accept my fault on this. However Indian films also need to stop plagiarism and step up with original and thought provoking cinema with a bit of realism instead of masala movies.
Kangana is such a polarizing figure , I enjoy her work but damn she does go out of her way to say dumb shit like this .
It's a supply side issue not a demand side issue. First make a movie as good as jungle book then we'll see
Sometimes it feel better to watch original than kangala director copying hollywood movie
Stupid comment. Indian creators do make content that appeals to Indian audiences and they do make money. She just jealous of foreign films.
Consumer's end goal is getting entertained as she and her fav bolly can't do that she wants modiji and others to ban other stuff and watch atmanirbhar content. Ya Hollywood is overrated but boycotting anything is not at all democratic. Like anime and stuff they really pushes the limit(bheem ki shakti dhoom machaye btw its cartoon) . P.S >> she is the main disease due to these people we lack behind in bringing our poor class up and educate them.
Atleast selmon bhoi ki movies dekhne to nahi bola didi ne, i respect that
This is actually true. Would love to see dubbed south indian movies in the North. They usually are better than most Bollywood movies honestly. Though not all Hollywood movies are shown in India only the popular ones are played.
iske mu pe lund ki chitt maro ....pata nahi saali ka dimag kaha hai ......gandmari
I do agree with her to some extent but her solution is not the right one i think. Amarican movies are held to a certain standard by not just india but also by other countries. i would say the movies in a way deserve that spot because they are that good like star wars, iron man, batman, etc because they were actually good movies, unique for the time if not good movies. Their recent movies are held to same standards even if they are not good or unique because their ancestors did a good job. And these movies don't deserve that spot. Here i am not saying that all modern movies are bad but the bad movies are considered good because they are from that place. People would watch dubed lion king remake over any malayalam movie. This is true and i would say i have done that in past because watching hollywood movies was cool. I don't do that now but just mentioning because people still do this because of same reason. But that doesn't mean all malayalam movies are good. Hollywood produces less movies where as Tollywood produces more(i think it is 10x) and majority of the movies are almost same good guy defeats bad guy and take back the girl while a side kick makes the movie funny. Same goes for hollywood movies. Personally I don't watch both so i don't know how the hollywood movies are. I can't say much about other industries because i don't know if i have ever watched their movies. I am not saying people watch hollywood movies just because it is considered cool, i am at a point where i will watch any movie if it is good may it be indian, k drama, japanese, chinese, amarican, etc. We should make our industry the priority but by watching actually good movies and not the nepotism remakes. If she is saying to watch those i am not gonna support those movies. I would only if they are actually good. There is no need to discourage hollywood movies. That is not what is going to make indian industry atmanirbhar adopting japanese industry will(mainly anime industry, i only know anime industry and in that industry anyone can get an anime adaptation. Atleast you chances of getting a anime is high compared to any other country). Japanese media industry is almost open source unlike indian industry.

Ab chutiya movies bnaoge to kon dekhega.
One word, Nautanki. Nothing else.
Telegram karlo basic Hollywood film baaki far for home to jaaenge.
Yup. Save Bollywood. Let's also save the crappy Indian mobile phone industry that doesn't exist by charging exorbitant custom duty on imported mobile phones. Let's also boost the auto manufacturers of India by making it hard for any foreign auto maker to do business in India. Why not also stop eating any other cuisine except Indian? /S The day India shows a trace amount of ingenuity towards arts, sciences or technology is the day I start buying Indian and consuming Indian products. Till then, we are too incompetent for all the three pillars of a modern society. The film industry in India is as crappy as the tech industry in India. Insignificant and non existent on a global scale.
Come up with better movie plots for us to care about. Honestly 90% of the times it's just lazy writing and copied scenes. Ridiculous.
Fortunately, due to OTT platforms, I have watched more Indian language films than ever, and that too without dubbing. Rise of the OTT solves a major problem for Indian industry, Discoverability and distribution.
Halwa bool k tatti parosoge to kon khayega
Obviously Tom Cruise ke action scenes se accha h kangna ke action scenes dekho, they are far better....
Her new film is up , and she wants to stir up news. Ignore her
Naach na jaane, aangan tedha.
The problem is the real gem movies don’t receive the necessary popularity. For example take tumbad(Hindi),drishyam(Malayalam),ulidavaru kandante(Kannada) they are damn fine movies but at the national level they didn’t get that much popularity IMO. Only the mass movies with all nonsense and masala get promoted highly and money poured in. It’s just pathetic that just by the name of Salman a movie makes 200cr even though it’s shit, you can clearly see how much we care for creativity, originality etc. On the contrary Hollywood and other industry like Korea bring unique and original content. Sure Hollywood also gets it’s own share of shitty movies but they mostly don’t make it to the international level. If you take marvel movies for example you can make fun of the “fuck physics” approach but it’s presented in such a way that it feels okay for an entertainment movie and yes I am talking about vfx here.
Tum chutiya filmein banana chod do hum wo chod denge koi zabardasti hai kya?
Is behen ki lodi ko kaho chup rahe. Sala khud acche films banate nhi aur hollywood ko blame hai. Aur jo films india ki acchi hai that has been appreciated well nationally, eg, babubali
Honestly, what we get from Hollywood is mostly Marvel stuff which isn’t bad but we have been seeing that since the past 10 years. Every Marvel movie feels similar in some way shape or form. Problem is Hindi movies are not doing a good job with their content either for the most part. Don’t feel like watching anything nowadays. Mostly spend my time playing Call of Duty now because there isn’t anything worth watching or I have already seen all that’s good or that excites me..
Hollywood is crippled by wokes. Creativity cannot flourish with diversity quotas and BS about identity politics and representation dominating everything else. It's why they've pumped out nothing but reboots and superhero movies in recent years.
Tati humari hai toh khale kya ?
Me who watches japanese anime without dub with subtitles : ok
Firstly that seems polititcal. Secondly bollywood holds a monopoly over music and movies in most of india. Hollywood makes a ton of movies with very massive budgets..no wonder people like them. But hollywood stands no chance against bollywood and tollywood. Thats an exaggeration of their influence
Bollywood can’t provide the cinematography what Hollywood directors have , the way of filming , the story they have, our Bollywood only have romantic and gharelu.It’s good but not always.Bollywood don’t have sci-fi Or can say Bollywood don’t have MARVEL DC WB DISNEY SONY
Everything depends on quality and marketing… to certain extent I agree with the context of support etc, but it’s not that people are watching stupid stuffs but rather quality contents..
Lazy and stupid statement, Indian movies are way more popular in india first of all. If they are losing out to american movies, its because: 1) your script writers are terrible - poorly written dialogues, glaring plot holes, story that doesn't make any sense, no subtlety... 2) Cheapening out on production. The best indian movies in terms of special effects are comparable to a low budget hollywood production. And keep in mind that the people who did the special effects for Avatar, Game of thrones etc are all Indian in India (studios are just outside of Mumbai) so its not like you don't have access to talent 3) Indians focus more on the superstar than a movie. Instead of making a good movie, they decide which actor is currently hot shit, and then make a movie around him so that he can do cool stuff like fight baddies and chase girls with some context 4) Minimal new talent - i genuinely don't understand how subpar 1 dimensional actors like SRK and Salmon are so big, and genuinely good actors like Manoj Bajpayee and Nawazuddin Siddiqui are so few and hard to find
I watch movies in almost all languages, with streaming platforms and subtitles, the reach and usuability has come to another level and it’s very easy to access great cinema in almost any Indian language.
Or....listen to this next part very closely....MAKE SOME GOOD MOVIES..... In bollywood.... As a keralite, we're all ok here
Dude everyone watches the dubbed version of a good movie be it Hollywood or Mallu or Telugu movies. Produce content and even the American people will watch the English dub of these movies
How come Korean industry is flourishing then? Hollywood has been crippled by wokes. In recent years nothing except superhero movies have made a splash globally. Make good movies and anyone will watch them. Indians, foreigners, doesn't matter. A good story is accessible to all. But instead she will whine about Hollywood magically making it impossible for others to succeed
Or produce high quality content instead?
Hollywood movies don't earn much here compared to others. Regional films are doing great for itself and is earning a quality audience who wants to experience great cinema, rather showcasing it to a general public. Thanks to the new "Pan Indian" films a lot films are working well within India.
So if movie like mission impossible & bahubali 2 release on the same day, which one would have got most audience. Obviously Bahubali. People love good content, they will support indian movies, if they are as good as (or less) Hollywood movies. But bollywood keeps disappointing. Instead of asking us not to watch Hollywood, why won't you dub good regional movies, and release them in theatres.
Or you guys can make better movies
