Where has the world gone, but Bollywood i.e. Mumbai Filmistan is standing there. His mind has gone blank. He has a dearth of stories. It seems that Bollywood is running on the translation of South films. Come on, it’s dragging. Now film critics have started saying this. If anyone is keeping up with the times, it is the South. That’s why the films there are being liked a lot.
Critics are saying – now that era is gone when the heroes of the films used to be fair-skinned. Why only films, in politics and society too people now want a hero like themselves. We need a hero in our midst. They like him. Politics is also changing now.
When politicians get down from the helicopter, flaunting white kurtas and pyjamas, people think that the British have come from somewhere to rob them. Because these leaders do not seem like themselves to them, to whom they can tell their sorrows. To whom they can go whenever they want.
Well, if we talk about Bollywood, then this industry is worth only five thousand crores. The market for shoes is bigger than this in the country. TV and news industry is also bigger than Bollywood. Actually, no one has done the work of enlarging film distribution for Bollywood. Neither the government nor anyone else.
Earlier Bollywood films were seen in many countries of the world, now it is not so. This has not happened for at least twenty-twenty five years. Hollywood earns five thousand crores by making a film worth two thousand crores because their distribution system is strong. No one thinks like this for Bollywood.
Yes, the market for protest against Bollywood films is definitely growing. The protest against Pathan film is the latest example of this. A film critic Ajit Rai even said that this protest is not against the film, but against Shah Rukh Khan. Had Shahrukh not been Shahrukh, there would have been no protest.
