Bollywood would do well to introspect on the reasons behind the serious loss of goodwill from significant sections of the population. We do remember their contribution to the farcical Intolerance Drama and how they had attempted to portray the entire country as intolerant. The appalling remarks they had made shall not be forgotten soon. And it is quite amazing how Freedom of Expression is always directed against Hindus and to hurt Hindu sentiments. AIB had in fact rendered an unconditional apology after being threatened by the Church after their roast. Unfortunately, the entire industry seems to suffer from an anti-Hindu bias and derives a perverse form of pleasure from hurting Hindu sentiments.

Yes. Bollywood is anti-Hindu and is systematically destroying Hinduism. Look at the pictures here. There are many I have selected few for representation
1.) Wearing Tilak on forehead is the norm for Bollywood villains and gangsters. See big banner films like Vastav (1999), Singham (2011), Sarkar 3 (2017)
2.) Hindu priests are always shown in poor light: OMG (2012), Mother India (1957), Toilet Ek Prem Katha (2017)
3.) Hindu Baniya is a Cheat, Hindu Thakur is an oppressor
4.) Church Padres are always good people: Amar Akbar Anthony (1977), Kabhi Haan Kabhi Na (1994)
5.) A tilak is the symbol of a villain but a bearded man with skull cap has to be a helpless A K Hangal type of a character
6.) Muslims are patriotic and good Human beings but are victimized in India and abroad: Chak de (2007), My name is Khan (2010)
7.) Indian army kills innocent Pakistanis: Main Hoon Na (2004)

16.) Record number of films on Gujarat riots always showing Hindus as aggressors and Muslims as victims
