Vivek Agnihotri tweeted on X App saying Bollywood is falling – and it is the very best factor that would occur.

Bollywood is in shambles. And that’s good for the trade. To erect a brand new constructing, you could demolish the outdated one. That is that point.

Right now, Bollywood has hardly any unbiased producers. No new producers. No contemporary concepts. No progressive distribution or advertising methods. A couple of years in the past, there have been a dozen studios — now simply two or three stay, they usually too are monopolistic and right here for causes apart from filmmaking. The eagerness for cinema has been changed by company greed and agenda-driven content material.

There aren’t any motion pictures — that’s why there’s a mad rush to launch outdated movies.

Most administrators who might have made a distinction in these vital occasions have given up and succumbed to OTT.

For the movie enterprise to outlive, star-actors are important. However there aren’t any promising new stars. If you wish to forged somebody from the 21–35 age group, you’ll discover virtually none — neither heroes nor heroines. The few that exist can’t converse Hindi, can’t emote, and appear extra excited by Instagram than their very own craft. And with out having achieved a lot, they arrive with an entourage — managers, social media groups, trainers, and whatnot.

For those who select to forged unknown, outsider actors from humble backgrounds (like I do), you stand no probability of getting funding, distribution, or advertising.

The field workplace, as soon as the last word take a look at of a movie, has now change into a hoax workplace. You possibly can publish any determine, give away free tickets, organize company bookings, manipulate BookMyShow — do no matter you need. It’s a free-for-all. Everybody’s screaming about field workplace numbers, however their movies don’t have anything to say.

There aren’t any real critics, no actual movie magazines or tabloids. Anybody pays and get something written.

No surprise, as at all times, Bollywood selected the simple manner out: manipulation and corruption.

The irony? The mighty ones who created this corrupt chakravyuh at the moment are enjoying the victims. The monster they constructed is able to swallow them.

And I’m blissful. I hope it does. I hope it devours them, to allow them to reincarnate — this time as pure movie creators, not monster-makers.

The workforce we labored with on The Delhi Information was stuffed with small-town, vernacular girls and boys. Lots of them will succeed and make nice movies — supplied the monster eats up this outdated, damaged, and very corrupt system.

For those who’re a middle-class, small-time younger storyteller keen to sacrifice on your craft — that is your time. Sure. That is the time.

Come. Let’s construct a brand new Hindi movie trade. Else, change Bollywood’s title to Instawood.
