The Indian Entertainment Industry really needs to buck up... And I mean literally buck up!3/26/2020 I may sound like an idiot writing this but I have come to realise that the Indian Entertainment Industry, meaning Bollywood films, Bollywood music and television and what not... Are actually far behind the world. Bollywood is far behind Hollywood, European Cinema and Music and even Korean dramas, Korean music and Korean films. I would say that the only good thing in India would probably be Malayalam and maybe Telugu films. The Malayalam and Telugu Film Industry comes up with really good content. Content that is realistic and believable. They use actors who are talented. Looks come in secondary for these film industries. I would have no comments about the music since I do not listen to their music. Do you realise something? The best films in Bollywood would be either biographies... Or, they would be remakes of South Indian; Asian; European or American films. Very rarely, Bollywood can come up with a film that is of good content. Very rarely, Bollywood would ever come up with an amazing movie like Fan, which is a very relatable movie, which had amazing talent and no necessary music. Parasite, the film that won 4 Awards at the Oscars 2020 Awards Ceremony, including that of the Best Picture Award, has made me realise what good cinema is all about. Now, as I start to watch more non-Indian films, I would say that I have become way more open minded than I was before. Just sticking to Indian films has made me realise how much of an ignorant wit I was. I realised how much of a joker I was in terms of my mentality. Whenever I watch Parasite (2019 Korean Film), I just wonder, how far behind India is in terms of creativity. India, overall, does not have the same capability in creating amazing cinema as compared to the United States or France or South Korea. India definitely needs to start learning how to gain inspiration to create different, unique storylines to captivate the audience. When it comes to talent, Bollywood especially, does not care about real talent nowadays. All they care about is the looks and nepotism. The problem is that even a very talented outsider will not be given a chance to work in Bollywood. Why? Because of... Nepotism. The one thing that I like about the film industry in Europe, America and South Korea is that they focus on talent and who would suit a certain role best. They do not focus on star kids being the first priority or who the most handsome or the hottest actor or actress is... They focus on what should be focused on. The one thing I would really like about the Indian Entertainment Industry would be the music. Even if I do not listen to Indian music that often, I can't ignore it. The music production just can't be ignored. Musicians need to be noticed. And they deserved to be noticed. I love Coke Studio Pakistan, Korean music, English music, French music... I am someone who listens to music in all languages. I love listening to new tunes. And honestly, I can't compare the tunes of India to USA or Korea or Europe because every country and continent provides a different tune... A different vibe to listeners. So, it's just impossible to pick the best when it comes to music. This is my opinion. If Indian film makers really want good appreciation for their films from viewers, they have to understand the kind of content that viewers want. Yes, there are viewers who want masala content which has no logic. But then, there are viewers who also want intelligent content. And, filmmakers should know that intelligent content goes a long way as compared to masala content or the usual content.
Coming up with the usual content, for Bollywood I am speaking, will only bore viewers... Which, in the end, leads to losing followers who would watch Hindi films often. I do really hope that Bollywood starts to come up with intelligent content or something unique. I want to be mentally engaged. I want to learn something new.
