Could Pakistan rival India's Bollywood?

[Spring Onion]

Iranian films get a few awards every year in various film festivals but
they are ALWAYS about hardships ; difficulties and struggles of common folks

Such esoteric films are loved by Western Audiences

For a long time Bollywood too was considered just song and dance by the West

It is Only in the last 10 years or so that they have begun to take
notice of Bollywood

And Bollywood films are now popular and well known
all over the world

Bollywood - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bollywood has Reached where it is not in a day or two

It has taken a lot of sweat and toil to GET this INTERNATIONAL STATURE
for Bollywood

Iranian Movies are real life stories unlike Bollywood fiction that too too fake to be absorbed seriously

Maybe, but to have one of the worst movie industries on the planet as your benchmark i.e. Bollywood, then you may as well give up.

 

[Mo12]

Just hearing the name Lollywood makes me laugh!

 

[itachiii]

bollywood doesn't represent Indian movie Industry. period.

 

[he-man]

It seems You want the refund for Bajrangi Bhaijaan

i don't even download such pathetic movies for free,,,forget about wasting both time and money in a theatre

Since Indian films are ALLOWED in Pakistan we just repay the favour
by ALLOWING Pakistani artists

Though we do not NEED them ; we have immense talent in our country

We get Western Blonde girls who are willing to work in Bollywood

Ali Zafar and Fawad Khan are just Grade B actors

It is a very big industry ; so many films are made

So Pakistani artists too get to work in a few films

you repay?

No my dear you do not repay you just accommodate them because your women like these dudes

anyway we are also repaying you by hiring your top actresses for advertisement of most pathetic ghee

Gaye banastpati bwahahahahahahahahaha

bollywood doesn't represent Indian movie Industry. period.

then who represent ? kollywood?

 

[parkour guy]

Pakistan don't need to do so i think.

 

[SHAMK9]

Pakistani actors are horrible, I mean Mahira is 3th rate actress. She can't act to save her life in drama serial so imagine her in movies. If something can be done about this then overall budget will matter less.

Are you serious? Mahira is very talented, Bin roye survives on her acting talent alone.

then who represent ? kollywood?

there are nearly 10-15 regional movie Industries in India and bollywood caters to mainly north indian audience. so, there is no single movie industry to represent the whole nation. but yeah if you are to speak about the quality of movies south Indian movies are far btr than bollywood..

 

[he-man]

south Indian movies are far btr than bollywood..

No,they are just like bollywood,just in a different language.

 

[Jamwal's]

LOL No

They should stop comparing/dreaming everything with India by considering the size,population and economy etc

May be they should compare themselves with Bangladeshi as even Iran,Turkey are superior to them in every endeavor.

I think we have talent ( more) like actor/ess or singers but all that has to mature and take off. However religion/conservative culture will always restrain artistic flair so Bollywood will always lead. The irony is going to be our actor/ess and singer/s and market will be utilized by Bollywood.

However our moral brigade will not see sense. They have to look and act that they are doing good. Although the funny thing they will push our people to Bollywood.

Bollywood can depend on the Mullah brigade to hand over the 200 million Pak market to India.

Spot on....That is what even i mentioned in another thread where some one was asking why Pakistan movie industry has to depend on Bollywood to fill out the supply...Pakistan movie industry was good till 1971...and it was in par with India.

1- The success of movie industry is dependent on the flexibility that society provides to its people...The amount of conservatism that has cripped into Pakistan after 1970 is a biggest hinderance of your development of movie industry

2- With change of times, lot of generational change come into our society....People mindset change...so also the taste of the people...If you impose curb in the creative thought to be displayed, the quality movie will not be produced..Because in that case, you are narrowing down the content that needs to be produced...And you can not create multiple movies with same narrow scope and content always..Then movie will also get flopped...

3- Indian Bollywood is prospering due to comparative flexibility that our society has provided to them....But if you compare with Hollywood, again, we are limited because Hollywood provides unlimited freedom to its industry...

4- And the last but not the least, the market segment, Bollywood targets a huge population with big Indian and NRI market....Pakistan movie inductry is struggling wrt Bollywood due to its small target audinces wrt India...And again, if you would like to expand, you have to target Indian audiences where you have to cater to taste of Indian mass where they may not be fond of Pakistan movies which has more flavor if Islamic culture and of course Pakistan nationalism...

In order to increase the popularity of Pakistan movie industry, the most important thing is that you have to understand how do you like to market your product...See...how the South Indian Moview industry is so successful in spite of being a regional cinema....Can you imagine that Bahubaali being an South Indian movie is competing and being more sucessful than Hindi movie...So in simillar vein, your industry has to find a niche segment where you will provide the best product to its customer....Another example, in cricket, if would love to see any quality fast bowler, i see the Pakistan bowlers in action...Because your bowlers provides and performs with quality perfomance than the other fast bowlers in the South Asia...I admire them....
