Indian Cinema industry and controversies are two sides of the same coin. It was believed that any sort of hype/controversy – good or bad, would be beneficial for the film industry. It kept on indulging in needless controversies with no creative quality content to back them up. Yet they prospered in pushing their agenda and anti-Hindu narrative. But in the last few years this trend has changed for the good.

People have started raising their voice against the bold anti-India and anti-Hindu agenda. Bollywood also drew flakes on the issue of nepotism. This was catalysed by Covid-19 pandemic and controversies that erupted after the unfortunate death of talented actor Sushant Singh Rajput. It seems that Bollywood has not recovered from this hard blow. It has been left far behind by the content-oriented regional cinema. The change is quite evident when we analyse the collection statistics of the Cinema industry in the first half of this year.

Southern Cinema Industries keeping Indian Entertainment Industry alive

According to the ichowk report, the Indian Entertainment industry (Bollywood + South Cinema) has amassed nearly Rs 5700 crores in the first six months of this year. While it may look like a large collection from outside, the signs are not ominous for the film industry. As there is a saying that the devil lies in the details. On careful analyses of this collection, one can conclude that barring a few Hindi films, Bollywood movies have fallen flat on the box office.

Further, the collections after March are on a steep decline. The film industry registered a decent collection in March. It collected Rs 1665 Crores and gave a bleak hope of revival of the declining entertainment industry. Contrary to this, the June month saw a massive slump with Industry registering collections around Rs 799 crores.

The Covid-19 hit entertainment industry was somewhat revived, thanks to the South Cinema. As southern regional and multilingual movies have registered back to back success at the box office. First, the movie buffs crowded the theatres to watch Allu Arjun starrer ‘Pushpa: The Rise’. Then came the tsunami of RRR with Ram Charan and Jr NTR as the protagonist.

The larger than life cinema of Yash starrer KGF:Chapter 2 garnered unprecedented love from the cinema fans. These south cinema movies demonstrated that content is the king. The southern industries have shown their appetite for risk which is paying off especially after the Covid-19 pandemic. It is also a fact that everything is not rosy for South cinema and Bollywood had their own silver lining in the entire first half of this year. Quasi-Bollywood movie ‘The Kashmir Files’, with its raw truth and word of mouth publicity, sky rocketed the collections of Hindi cinema. The horror-comedy sequel Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 starring talented actor Kartik Aaryan performed tremendously and gave a ray of hope to the Hindi cinema industry.

Apart from these brief periods of success on the shoulders of ‘The Kashmir Files’ and ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2’, Hindi movies suffered humiliation at their theatrical release. Actors who had in the past, without impressive storylines single handedly took their movies to 100/200/300+ crores clubs, are failing miserably.

Latest Releases with their fate

Between April and June, the theatrical releases included K.G.F:Chapter 2 which trumped all the contemporary movies ; John Abraham starrer action packed movie ‘Attack’ ; South remake ‘Jersey’ with Shahid Kapoor in the lead role ; multi star cast film ‘Runway 34’ with Ajay Devgnn in the protagonist role ; crude Nepotism driven ‘Heropanti 2’ ; Kangana with her female lead action thriller ‘Dhakad’ ; Ayushmann Khurana trying his luck in ‘Anek’ could not garner love from the fans.

The June releases too didn’t bring much love and affection of the cinema fans for Hindi Cinema. Akshay Kumar historical drama on the legendary Hindu King ‘Samrat Prithviraj’ missed the authenticity and fans gave it heavy thumbs down. Acclaimed actor Pankaj Tripati could not carry the story of ‘Sherdil’ on his shoulder; the Multi star cast of Jug Jug Jiyo tanked at the box office.

In between came the south pan India movies rocked the theatres and ran on for weeks. It included movies like – Adi Vishesh’s Major on the inspirational life journey of Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan and the Lokesh Kanagaraj’s 2nd movie of the Loki universe Vikram with powerful starcast of three legendary method actors Kamal Hassan, Fahad fazil in the roles of protagonist and Vijay Sethupati as the antagonist.

Obvious reasons for Bollywood’s repeated humiliation at the hands of content driven cinema  

The three obvious reasons for people losing faith and love in the Hindi movie industry is its unfounded hatred for Hinduism, lack of creativity that forces them to depend heavily on remakes and nepotism choking opportunities of the talented actors, singers, music composers and script writers.

Apart from these reasons, the Covid-19 induced lockdowns attracted the cinephiles towards Over-the-top (OTT) platforms. These platforms bridged the language and release time gap plus it gave the convenience to watch the latest releases within the comfort of their home. The amplitude of content on these platforms gave more chances to character and method actors to showcase their abilities.

Also Read: Boycott Bollywood actually works. Here is how?

If this continues and Bollywood keeps on toeing the same Hinduphobic line without implementing the constructive feedback of the Cinema lovers, Bollywood will keep on losing its charm. The Hindi cinema industry has tasted the power of Boycott_Bollywood trends so it can’t and should not undermine it going ahead. So, it is high time for them to change this as the 75% can anytime become an inevitable doom in the form of Boycott entire Bollywood. OTT or theatre, Hindi or regional cinema, the love for entertainment can never die in the society, so better for them to realise that and adapt to the changed trend.
