You make it seem as Bollywood is seen as a shining example of a great film industry around the world.
n recent times, quality has vastly improved. Waar, Bol, Khuda ke Liye are such examples. Lol while Bollywood is a bigger and well known industry, the quality of its films are abysmal. And again in recent times Pakistani movies have outperformed Indian movies at the box office in Pakistan.
However trend of making good product instead of stealing ideas from others is.3 "good" movies in the last 8 years is not a resurgent.

I hope you know Bollywood does not equal the Indian film industry. There are tamil, telugu, Malayalam movies which are far better than Bollywood rip offs. The website you linked only shows that most Indians in India watch local movies which is pretty obvious. It doesn't show how Bollywood is some great film industry. Apart from Anurag Kashyap and maybe Vishal Bhardwaj, there is no filmmaker in Bollywood that could rival greats such as Godard, Fellini, Kurosawa, Kubrick etc.There are just 2 countries where their local cinema has more than 90% share. India and USA. That speaks for itself.
3 "good" movies in the last 8 years is not a resurgent.

Now as expected from a Pakistani. Yes i know you are hell bent on showing Bollywood as Downgraded as Lollywood but you should actually try to give some nice arguments to back up with. Now let me Humiliate you.
Bollywood is Film Industry which comes next to Hollywood. Yes being a Pakistani i don't expect you to know were Bollywood rules if you would have done your Homework you would have known that Bollywood is highly famous in Asia and South East Asia, Bollywood is highly Famous in Europe specifically in Germany, i don't expect you to know how much Craze is for Bollywood in Germany. and Europe In Germany the fans of Shahruk khan are outclassed by any Hollywood Film Star their are rallies in Germany in the name of Bollywood and SRK also their is special channel for Bollywood films. Bollywood is very famous in Latin America Just for proof Type 'Bollywood penetrated latin america' in Youtube all your doubts will be cleared. Also to give you proof of Bollywood's popularity let me tell you a in 2014 there As Bollywood completed it's 100 years let me tell you King Of Morocco held a feast in Marrakech in the name of Bollywood and he invited whole of Bollywood in grand celebration just like that it is Republic day is being observed. The Videos of celebration are on Youtube just for a proof. and not even a single celebrity from Hollywood was invited for Celebration so you can think How much Bollywood is famous in that part of the world. One more Thing SRK is considered as God in Morocco. In Russia If you will go in every Particular house you will find posters of Bollywood heroes also there is a dedicated channel for Bollywood in Russia. So you can guess how much is the popularity.
Now lets's turn to copying part- Bollywood is film industry which makes 1000 movies almost double of that of hollywood. Even if you are saying that Bollywood copies then let's say Bollywood copies 200 Movies (Which i don't think so Bollywood copies so many movies according to me it copies around 5 to 6 movies) Still Bollywood is 800 movies original industry which is still bigger than Hollywood. Now should i talk about copying capability of Hollywood, if i will talk about Hollywood then you will really get Humiliated and i can also do the postmortem of Hollywood how it makes movies from Books and Novels but let it be.
Now let's turn to Quality-
Yes i know before Bollywood was not Mature but in last 5 years the quality is world class before bollywood movies were not able to crack 100 crores now they make 100 in two days and cracks 500 crores. Bollywood sells almost the double the tickets than Hollywood annually but for your argument why it still lags Behind Hollywood in Collection is because of Foreign Exchange rates and also because the tickets are cheap than Hollywood movies.
If anyone wants to take a look at quality then i will ask every Pakistani To look for these trailers-
Bahubali( Look for this movie trailer you will know what it is), Dhrishyam, Wazir, Katti Batti.
Now i will twll you the movies to watch out for in coming Years -
, worlds most beautiful Aishwarya rai bacchan starrer 'Jazbaa' whose first poster got viral on twitter in just few seconds, prem ratan dhan paayo in which salman khan is playing a boxer, Bajirao Mastani.which are coming in 2015
Other than theses, movies which are coming in few years are Mohen jo daaro starring Hrithink, it will be much more like 10,000 BC movie, 'Paani' starring kristen Stewart and Hrithik this movie will be picturiesd on future 2050,
'Shuddhi', 'Shivaay' Starring Ajay devgn and Nicole Kidman and many more other actors from other film industry and it is said to set a new benchmark for money involved in movie producing, almost 300 to 400(3/4 of hollywood) crores are going get invested in this movie, also for which fast and furious action director is being hired,
'Immortals of Meluha' Trilogy movie based on the largest sold book in India and out of India from an indian writer of the same name, there is also a speculation that a hollywood producer has also bagged rights to make a movie on the book.
Krrish 4, Robot 2 starring aamir khan as villain, Ra one 2,
For people who like supermans you have got Stan lee made indian superhero 'chakra' a movie coming up, Anurag Kashyap superhero named 'Doga', also Ranbir kapoor and Tiger shroff have their superhero movies lined up too and last but not the least and happens to be my most awaited movie of my lifetime for which I will do anything is the movie ‘Atharva- The origin’ now it is just a graphic novel but when the movie will be made it is going to be on par with franchisees such as lord of the rings and Harry potter. I will just suggest all the members to just see the trailer of this graphic novel on youtube.
Now Go through my thesis because it is done by me and you don't know kid to whom you are talking so please first do homework and should not argue with me atleast on Bollywood. Bollywood doesn't give a damn about Oscar or any other awards beacause Oscar doesn't give awards in a fair manner.
Hope you understand what i am saying.
Hahhaha lolzzzzzzzYou start a conversation like this.
Spot on broRe-read what I stated until you understand what my argument is about. Your inferiority complex has barred you from even comprehending my whole post. I already said Bollywood is big but quantity does not equal quality. I know for a fact in North America, Bollywood is known as a film industry with the weird rip off name which includes exaggerated action scenes and musicals. I've been to Europe and there is no such craze, most of the people are either obsessed with Hollywood or local films. I know many German and Russians, they don't know anything about Bollywood. However, Korean cinema and music seems to be a growing trend all over the world. Everything you said holds no basis, it's just you telling us about your wet dream.
Oh lord, you being an Indian I thought you would know that Bollywood does not make thousands of movies a year. That myth has been debunked already. It is India which produces 1000 movies not Bollywood. Indian film industry includes Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Bengali cinema. The truth is majority of Bollywood movies are complete rip offs. As for Hollywood movies, some of them may be based on novels but the film studios legally bought the rights for them. Unlike Bollywood which blatantly steals complete movies. Please talk more about Hollywood, I would love to hear your deluded thoughts on it.
How does box office performance equal good quality? Crap fests like Twilight, 50 Shades of Grey and the Transformer series make over hundred million dollars at the box office, but that does not exclude the fact that they are utter crap. In India Bollywood may fare better and do better business because there are over a billion Indians but I for the life of me cannot fathom your feeble argument. Stop embarrassing yourself kid, movies made on shoestring budgets like Reservoir Dogs, Under the Skin, Mommy, Winter Sleep are far superior and original than high budgeted bollywood rip offs..
Oh god, not again. This is all speculation my friend. If India has a market for brain dead, non original rip offs then a lot of money will be invested for such films. It's not that hard to comprehend. Unfortunately you misunderstood my whole post and in return you wrote me an essay on how Bollywood will take over the world.
If no Bollywood movies can win major awards at film festivals such as Cannes, TIFF or Berlin then it is obvious that Bollywood movies are just not upto that standard. You wrote me an essay for no reason, because I never denied that Bollywood movies make profit. Intellectuals and filmmakers around the world laugh at your poverty thinking. True creatives such as Godard, Bergman, Kubrick, Tarkvosky, Jodorowsky, Scorsese, Fellini etc never cared for big budget movies. And it was these filmmakers that brought innovation techniques in cinema. Don't argue with me on cinema because I will continue to embarrass you son. Now get out of PDF and watch Slumdog Millionaire.
Bollywood is Film Industry which comes next to Hollywood.
The Pakistani national cricket team would not exist if it wasn't for Pakistani consumption.
Otherwise do we have a national basketball team, baseball team or ice hockey team playing in the Olympics or taking part in international tournaments?
Who said anything about only camel riding documentaries?
There are a ton of American movies (ex. Terminator series, Back to the Future films, Aliens films, Predator films, etc...) that are box office hits around the world which didn't need to resort to pornography or anything anti-Islamic or overly antagonistic towards Islamic values. In those minor cases they do they can easily be cleaned up and still be as good.
Two cinema masterpieces, The Message and Lion of the Desert, are leaps and bounds better than the whoreish trash a lot of the domestic anti-Pakistani movie companies are producing.
Lol Behold the Intellectual Pakistani Kid here. Now let's see how much you Know
You stated North America. Now as it is a a part of America of course Hollywood would fair nicely. Every Industry has it's trademark value, Bollywood previously was mainly focused on love stories and romances but now as you can see it is turning to genres which are dominated by Hollywood you will see Bollywood getting much bigger and Wider. You yourself haven't given me any proof of your claim and yet you are asking to me proof of my claims lol how intelligent of you. if you would have paid attention than you would have known that my claim had a proof in the name of youtube but yours- No, that shows how much ignorant you are.
Okay Now let's go by your way. Okay then let's assume bollywood makes 500 Movies and in that 5 to 6 are copied so still it doesn't makes any Difference to Bollywood's Reputation and Calling a big Movie Industry just Cheap Rip Off's of Hollywood how young are you and remind You all the worldwide hit's of Bollywood From 3 idiots to Dhoom 3 were not Hollywood rip off's but still your ignorance made you to stay that Bollywood has no Quality. Lol
Now please don't talk about Hollywood's copying trend otherwise i will have to drag Japan and South korean Film Industry here and How Hollywood Copies it. So please keep it to yourself.
I know Kid you don't follow Bollywood that's why you are using the word rip off's because of your Lack Of Knowledge. In this also you have done cheer leading and nothing else. Because if you would have Known About Professionalism than you would have known that Money gives you Popularity. I guarantee you that Many here don't know about the films whose name you have written that shows how the world works Today. And the Reason why Hollywood is such a large and famous industry is because of Money.
This was the most Funniest part in your essay. A Kid claiming to be a good critic of Bollywood shouldn't have written this. A simple Search about the concerned films in Google or as i told you to seeing the Trailers in the you tube would have given you your answer.
This was also a funny one and this was the proof to me how much you follow world film Industry or Bollywood.
Let me tell you why Oscar is irrelevant to Bollywood.
Bollywood made very great movies in the past which were worthy of Oscars from Mother India to Lagaan but Oscars where never awarded to them, when you will go in history and try to find out or talk to any experts you will find that Bollywood movies like Lagaan and Mother India were on par with the respective Oscar awarded movies which were competitor with Lagaan and Mother India at that time,The last movie which was given Oscar was Slumdog Millionaire which had somewhat Indian Resemblance but it got Oscar's because it had a foreign Director and producer related to the film. This Shows How much Oscar is selective in it's approach.
Bollywood has their own Oscar’s which are their followers. You said that Indian movies doesn't fair in cannes, this was another of your ignorance and also showed that you don't Follow Cannes and Bollywood. Let me tell you in recently concluded cannes film festival an Indian movie premiered named ‘Masan’ in which Richa Chaddha has playing the lead, the movie got 5 minutes standing ovation on its premiere from audiences for which Richa chaddha and the director cried for such a great reception and as i provide proof to my claims the video of standing ovations is on Youtube feel free to see it. I have given proof to every claim of mine but you are the one who failed to provide me with any proof.That is what Bollywood has achieved without Oscars. Oscars or no Oscars doesn’t matter to Bollywood.
I will still say that Bollywood is behind Hollywood. And it has some distance to go. I was not the one who made Bollywood Vs Hollywood discussion But You were the one who made it with your Cheer leading.
Now please don't quote me because i am feeling sleepy and also don't want to waste my time on this issue which requires writing an essay to give a reply as you can see. Please just asking you as your well wisher do look the trailers of movies which i told you and also search about the movies which are coming in the years which i mentioned in my first essay It will clear your doubts somewhat. Also good luck with your Renaming thing. Gn
If you would have done simple research You would have understood. Now go and do some homework and then show your intelligence here.
