Coming from the mouth of a person who is pure \u201cdesi\u201d<\/em> at heart, this might sound tangential to the people who think themselves to be too cool to love Bollywood anymore.<\/p>\n

1.) Bollywood -> Uncool.<\/h2>\n

\"Bollywood<\/p>\n

People who stopped loving, believing and, fighting till the end are the same individuals who bias themselves with the stupidity of one-night stand! The mere idea of it has been plotted by the foreign ideologists, and, then we blabber about why don\u2019t we see love anymore?<\/p>\n

I mean how can you expect someone to even notice the unfathomable presence of love when you\u2019ve provided your counterpart with the things that he\/she might be interested in, from the beginning?<\/p>\n

Also, he\/she is usually told to be cool about love as things don\u2019t happen in that way anymore! It\u2019s not their fault, really! Instead, this can be accredited to the lightning-fast lifestyle of couples as depicted in the Hollywood movies.<\/p>\n

(Know about the reasons why social media has ruined modern dating, here<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Movies provide us education and inspiration and everything a person could be interested in, but, there is something called influence<\/strong> which says that if you tell someone what he\/she needs, for like forty times in a day, he\/she might as well comprehend to the same!<\/p>\n

This concept is very famous in the literary culture and can be seen in the novel \u201c1984\u201d <\/em>by Indian-British writer George Orwell<\/a>, where the protagonist was forced to believe that 2+2 makes a 5. (Bollywood also had similar ideologies when Govinda<\/strong> said something about 1+1 being 11<\/em>, remember?)<\/p>\n

\"Indian-British<\/p>\n

2.) Bollywood Music v\/s Hollywood Music<\/h2>\n

Forget it; I don\u2019t have any whatsoever expectations left from you guys anymore, as when you see or hear the utter sexist and male chauvinistic lyrics in Hollywood rap records<\/strong>, it looks cool! But when our desi rappers do so, they get labeled as pricks and sometimes even get barred from entering a college as well! Why such double standards bro, maybe we are just, Uhm, Indians?<\/p>\n

Tell you one thing, and I\u2019m sure this would help you understand:<\/p>\n

\u201cTujhe Dekha Toh Yeh Jaana Sanam, Pyar Hota Hai Deewana Sanam!
\nAb Yhan Se Khan Jayein Hum, Teri baahon me Mar Jayein Hum\u201d!!<\/em><\/p>\n

V\/s<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, Nigga, that\u2019s that nerve, why give a bitch your heart when she rather have a purse? Why give a bitch your inch when she rather have nine? <\/em>
\nTook a broke nigga\u2019s bitch, I can make a broke bitch rich, but I don\u2019t f*ck with broke bitches, Oh Oh These hoes ain\u2019t loyal.\u201d Something like that!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Lil<\/p>\n

Well, if that shit is creative then Honey Singh<\/strong> is Rap God<\/em>, and Eminem<\/strong> is Yo-Yo<\/em>, and Lil Wayne<\/strong> is really sent by God to teach people how to rap! (I don\u2019t believe it, do You?)<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not a matter of belief, psychology or \u201clanguage\u201d! Most importantly language as English me bola to chalta hai na<\/em>? No! This shouldn\u2019t be the case! What\u2019s wrong should be labeled as wrong without making any fateful compromises.<\/p>\n

3.) Hollywood Movies v\/s Bollywood Movies<\/h2>\n

\"Hollywood<\/p>\n

Hollywood always gets away with such \u201cthings\u201d by unfailingly reminding us that they have provided us with such gems like Avatar, 12 Angry Men, Pride and Prejudice, Frozen,<\/strong> etc. I know that list is probably longer than the Saree of Katrina Kaif<\/strong> in the movie Welcome, but let\u2019s not go there as I feel it\u2019s slightly loath full to talk about the things that only you want people to hear and never say a word about what they really should know! Also, I want to remind you that it\u2019s them who gifted us with excellent movies like Epic Movie, Alpha House, Jennifer\u2019s Body<\/strong>, etc.<\/p>\n

Need some more, what\u2019s better than telling you that they have got an award show named Golden Raspberry Awards<\/strong><\/a>, which is solely dedicated to honoring their accomplishments and they have got 1000s of names there that might tell you the same.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not saying that Hollywood is overly hyped, all I\u2019m asking from you is to make \u201cpolitically correct<\/em>\u201d remarks whenever you compare between a Bollywood and Hollywood movie, as we also have produced some stupendous movies like,<\/p>\n

Mohabbatein, Rockstar, 3 idiots, Gulaal, Highway, Lagaan, Kahaani, Taare Zameen Par, Kal Ho Naa Ho, Gangs of Wasseypur, My Name is Khan, Chak de India, Barfi, Dangal, Masaan, Titli, Parched, Madaari, Mother India, Hindi Medium, etc.<\/em><\/p>\n

Ok, I accept the fact that I Have Googled their names, but that\u2019s the whole point, isn\u2019t it? How well have we forgotten the cinematic jewels of our time and, how are we paying back for those beautiful memories, by our petty ignorance? Which I have many reasons to believe will continue in the future as well.<\/p>\n

4.) The Fast Lane.<\/h2>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

Things need to change from now on! You tell me how do you suffocate yourself by deeply and madly loving a cocaine-induced<\/strong> organization which may run its course once you cut off its supply?<\/p>\n

I mean what\u2019s the longevity of such industry? You do the Meth<\/strong><\/em>, Oops sorry, Math, I mean!<\/p>\n

When you do things, you start to see things that may open up another world of reality which transcends into your brain so deeply that it holds the power to influence many more generations to come, but, whatever success it provides, the cause is equally important in determining its direction. (Just like the marks of procedure and formula to calculate an answer in mathematics)<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s take an example of Eminem<\/strong>! To be perfectly honest with you, he was a junkie! And having done things helped his brain to fill that clot of darkness with the drug induced hyperactivity, which resulted in getting him a free flow of words that we normal humans naively think to be superficial. Well, it\u2019s a scientific fact that drugs open up many levels of human brain and also impart the necessary concentration for a task as well. I\u2019m just saying that maybe got benefited by that while we \u201cnormal beings\u201d count his verse per seconds using a stopwatch!<\/p>\n

Serj Tankian, Kurt Cobain, MJ<\/strong>, literally every pop or rock<\/em> artist that you can conjure name of, was or is a junkie. What\u2019s great about being a junkie is that people confuse your delusional words with wise sayings as for them you\u2019re God, but at the end of the day, it all comes down to which one of you did better quality heroin!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Serj<\/p>\n

Well, it\u2019s a fact whether you accept it or not! I\u2019m not saying that only drugs are behind the good things that Hollywood has gifted us with, but, think for a second, since we are all God\u2019s children and therefore have been awarded the same mental capabilities, so, if every Bollywood guy starts doing Drugs like them, we may all end up with an \u201cInception<\/strong>\u201d of our own, but, you wouldn\u2019t like that, would you?<\/p>\n

(Know about various Social Media Myths, here<\/a>)<\/p>\n

5.) Bollywood! = Paisa Vasool.<\/h2>\n

Coz guess what, it\u2019s Indian and also its Bollywood and, Bollywood should only make shitty movies, right? (Remember, what happened with Anurag Kashyap<\/a>\u2019s film named \u201cNo Smoking<\/strong>\u201d, well, that\u2019s what we do to good Bollywood movies. Okay, you don\u2019t remember the film, I\u2019ll wait!)<\/p>\n

If you really want to compare then do it with Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan Sahab<\/strong> who died while singing the song which led him to his death, or Harivansh Rai Bachchan Sahab<\/strong> who wrote whole poetry on \u201cMadhushala<\/em>\u201d all the while never stepping into a real one (His son did the same with his movie named \u201cSharabi<\/em>\u201d) or A.R. Rehman<\/strong> who never once let his music be hindered with chords of dependency.<\/p>\n

\"Nusrat<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s get the facts right, there\u2019s a reason why Bollywood doesn\u2019t make good movies, and that reason is us when we choose to avoid watching films like Aligarh, Nil Battey Sannata, Trapped, Raman Raghav, Haramkhor<\/strong>, etc. If they won\u2019t get enough money in return for their efforts then why shouldn\u2019t they just wish us Happy New Year<\/em> on the very next day of Diwali?<\/p>\n

I will do the same if I get the money out of it. We don\u2019t appreciate good plays, we think rock music is only limited to throwing your head up and down in a whimsical fashion so that your hairs fall back right at your face, and also, we certainly don\u2019t like to buy local! So, maybe we deserve to be schooled about things that should or shouldn\u2019t be considered before speaking out, and we can start doing that from today!<\/p>\n

6.) Bollywood is Unoriginal, Plagiarized, and well, Unrealistically Mediocre<\/h2>\n

\"Plagiarized<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat Blunder! Don\u2019t you know that unoriginal and plagiarism are synonyms of each other, and then you have the naivety to call yourself a content writer\u201d?<\/em><\/p>\n

Oh, is that so? Allow me to tell you something!<\/p>\n

These days both of these words bear separate meanings, as people have stopped writing their minds and have wholeheartedly accepted the basic fact about content writing i.e. the job of a content writer should only be limited to reframing phrases and sentences.<\/p>\n

Plagiarized content<\/strong> is the one which is copied from somewhere on the internet, whereas, unoriginal<\/strong> is the one that is copied and then \u201creframed\u201d<\/em>. The reframing includes synonyms, jumbling with words and much more such brilliant gimmicks.<\/p>\n

I accept it! That most Bollywood movies tend to get inspired or easily influenced by other industries, such as Tollywood, Hollywood, etc. But, it\u2019s not their fault really!<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t our Mama always used to tell us, \u201cDekh Woh Sharma Ji k Ladke ko 90% aaye hai, Kucch Seekh Usse\u201d<\/em>!<\/p>\n

Been raised in such an explicit environment, we\u2019ve learned to copy others. Whatever we do with ourselves, we are always curious about what others are doing with themselves. So, if a movie performs well on the Box-Office and has a great story, then, Bollywood usually gets complex with that Sharma Ji Ka Beta being successful and tries to ruin the experience as significantly as possible. However, Some of the Bollywood movies have also been copied shamelessly by other industries without even a mere mention, one of them named \u201cA Common Man\u201d<\/strong> which was the adaption of the infamous Bollywood crime drama classic \u201cA Wednesday\u201d<\/em> got remade in Hollywood and later went on to win many awards.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

Now, coming to the \u201cunrealistically mediocre<\/em>\u201d remark, it\u2019s majorly articulated on the basis of action scenes, CGI,<\/strong> and, romance<\/strong> portrayed in Bollywood films. Well, for real action and CGI work, Bollywood lacks funding, and for good romance, people lack appreciation. As they still believe in the fairy tale stories of a King on a horse or an Angelic Woman sitting in the window. (If no one does, I still do!)<\/p>\n

Well, the recent success of \u201cHalf Girlfriend<\/strong>\u201d shows that there are many people like me who hide behind the shadows and are not ready to wake from their sleep, not yet! So, without audience raising their mediocre levels, how can the industry take the chance of taking chances? That too when their content is bringing them enough money.<\/p>\n

The Conclusion<\/h2>\n

Just like every other industry, Bollywood is also in the business of selling. The best way to make yourself heard is simple and sweet i.e. stop calling out<\/strong>. Stop going to the films that do not stand tall in critics\u2019 ratings or user reviews. Stop compromising with your taste for films just because they are releasing it on a particular holiday (Oops, did I say that out loud?). Stop calling yourself a Bollywood fanatic if you don\u2019t love SRK (No points here, just a forceful suggestion like the democracy in every peace-loving nation of the world!).<\/p>\n

Or else, we can all just chill out and bash Bollywood on the Facebook, Instagram<\/strong>, Twitter<\/a>, Snapchat<\/a>, and, what not, just like everybody else is doing or planning to do. My mother always tells me, \u201cBeta pehle Karke Dikhao, Phir baat Karenge<\/em>\u201d, I have the same suggestion for these guys as well. There is a famous quote for the same which goes like, \u201cBeing in the world for so long that I\u2019ve become a contributing part of it<\/em>\u201d. I don\u2019t know who said it and what it means as it\u2019s only for you to determine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":636,"template":"","class_list":["post-635","digitalmarketing","type-digitalmarketing","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","entry"],"yoast_head":"\n6 Myths about Bollywood that Should Be Changed Right Now | Art Attackk<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Debunk the six common myths about Bollywood that need to be changed.
