You had me with you till you mentioned films like Rockstar and Tamasha. I mean. I'm all for nuanced storytelling, but Rockstar, Tamasha, Yjhd etc, being celebrated for being nuanced is such a joke to me. Rockstar had a paper thin plot and Jordan's character arc heavily feels like dues ex machina relying heavily on the trope that pain produces great music instead of actually focussing on his growth as an artist but no, having his heart broken alone was enough to suddenly for people to see his talent. Plus, the film is heavily laden with poetry that is great, deep, reflective but just doesn't fit with the film and is used to fool people. Pyaasa is a far superior film about an artist struggling to fit and find his space, doesn't rely on trial room effects as you say and most of all is actually reflective rather than just trying to create the illusion that it is.

i think people need to praise mark eydelshteyn for his role as well....sure mikey ate up her role as anora but without ivan's chaotic nature the film would have been incomplete

You sounds like a teenager recently saw art movies and start abusing Comercial movies. You will realize when you will get proper job

nice page bro....more success to you

Bro i want to hear you voice not background music pls make you background music bit low

thank you for voicing this. Even though it is obvious very few people seem to accept or admit it!

Bro u are indian why you have to talk with a fake foreign accent? I cant undrstnd anything u say, hav to use subtitles

Actually Torrent and Jio net ruined you, brother. You're doomed.

Are you literally comparing art films to commercial films? really? What is even your point?

Such movie that stayed with me for days after I watched it in theatre was a Tamil gem - Meiyazhagan. It touched my heart like no other fom had ever. It is such a heartwarming drama. I am glad I was able to catch it in Theatres as a resident in north India.

Commercial movies will continue to be made according to the general taste of the common people no matter how rubbish it may seem to you, The good thing is there are still plenty of good quality films being made in our country,but dont get the deserved popularity because of finance and the same old public taste So bollywood as a whole cant be generalized as a factory for masala movies Definitely hindi movies have much more viewers in india compared to other regional language movies but that doesn't mean it ruined cinema Cinema doesn't just mean deep art films or realistic parallel cinema It can also be illogical light weight just for fun and pressure release Which is extremely important for indian people who are continuously under stress in their everyday life

When bollywood make independent and excellent movies nobody watches and when it makes bad movie ,everyone come to attack like it is festival to celebrate.

dont know why are you comparing Satyajit ray to Bollywood any time. & also his work in bengali cinema is unmatched still today,

I am a simple man. The moment I see Satyajit Ray I click on the video. Great video though. Keep it up.

Money making and movie making, two different thing.

bro, reduce the background music can't hear what you are saying, but a good video

Focus more on your video script rather than fake accent lol

Remember, no matter what anyone says - movies are always first a form of entertainment and then an art form. The problem that is happening with Bollywood currently isn't what we consider as 'commercialization' or 'predictable'. All the stories in the world can be boiled down to similar summaries. It is the formulaic and monotonous the movies have become. An industry making just art cinemas again and again will be equally as bad. One can't judge another person on the movie he likes and tell him that what he likes isn't 'Cinema' (but you can judge a person based on the movie he DOESN'T like).

Great sur!! I appreciate it , thank you ❤❤, now I have found you as the same person who has the same mindset as of mine. You have spoken my heart out. May you live longer and succeed in life. Regards!!

1:25 Andhadhund was different.

I do not think that as a society we have reached the point where we wish to explore nuances of emotion or deep philosophical musings. Our stressful lives and the unpredictability of Indian life makes it so that when we are being entertained, we crave simplistic, frivolous fare, something to take our mind away from the humdrum of life. In my own experience, as a youth, I loved to discover thoughtful cinema, love to ponder over the intricacies of what might have gone into making this movie including the script, nuances of cinematography etc. Later on though, as the responsibilities of a householder took over, even though my sensibilities have not changed, I realize that I do not have much time for deep, thoughtful Cinema. Therefore my choices are to either completely forgo cinema, or to engage in fare that is commonly consumed. If I do watch something like the ship of Theseus, it is usually piecemeal and over a span of many days, so that I have enough time to watch the movie once, and then go over it again bit by bit to ruminate. I guess we can see why simple-minded, thoughtless movies get consumed on such a large scale in India and thought-provoking movies get pushed to the wayside.

Get a better microphone pls ❤

No movie industry can solely survive with art cinema. Its a mix of both Great,good, average,bad. It's real life not vannila world.

No, buddy. The focus are on boobs.

Brother can you please Analyse The cinema of 2024 Ki change aaya hai bhi ke abhi bhi wahi chale jaa rha hai

Bollywood mein har saal acchi filmein bnti hai par koi nahi dekhta unhe laapata ladies aayi thi abhi uska kya hua theatre mein sabko pata hai Yahan galti bollywood ki nahi audience ki hai Apne bubble se bahar niklega to pata lagega tujhe india ke baare mein har koi tere jaisa samajhdaar thodi hai 100 mein se 90% janta anpadh hai Aur baat kare ott subscription ki to bahi mere jyadatar log illegal movie download karte hai

I dislike how everyone is saying,well it's a sort of cinema that people could enjoy and etc. The problem is not making entertainment but the problem is just making entertaining mass cinema. Hollywood also loves money and churns out 1000s of popular entertaining films. But they also have produced many influential autuers and art films over the years. For Bollywood the concept of 'art' or 'autuer' doesn't exist. It's all just a vapid money making machine that only cares for money unlike Hollywood which once in a while would make great artistic cinema.

Actually bengali cinema is still reviving because from the period of 2000s to 2015 bengali industry has remaked every possible telugu tamil movie action movies which were liked by audience initially but after 2016 audience completely rejected it and now young audiences have lost their faith in bengali commercial cinema But still some stars are doing great and still bengali cinema is offering good content

Martin Scorcese once said: "Pather Panchali is my favorite movie." That's all I can say.

If you are comparing todays Bollywood with Satyajit Ray's films that's total incorrect. Either you must compare Satyajit's films with todays Bangali cinema or compare todays Bollywood with older hindi movies. All the problems you mentioned for Bollywood are relevant for all film industries in India.

Karnataka has had a very different course of cinema legacy. Around the 70s, directors like Puttanna Kanagal made commercial cinemas that can be easily 'categorised' into Art Films today. These were actually fusion cinemas that carried art forms to commercial success. Then came Shankar Nag (Malgudi Days director) who continued the legacy of fusion cinema. His untimely demise triggered the downfall of Kananda cinema when people unrelated to cinema took over the industry to turn their illegal money legal. The good thing is that the Kannada audience punished the industry with a tacit boycott and the industry has not been able to recover yet.

I guess... The major problem is not the style on which our movies are based but commercialisation of the plot... For example why our every big budget movie is not perfect because they usually lose the track from the lore and backdrop they set to a unnecessary trope for commercial audience because they think keeping it to the plot will not work in their favour... Example Kalki and Brahmastra... Kalki was a below average movie for me till the first half as they showed a holly jolly dystopia with Prabhas but when they started exploring the seriousness of the plot they are dealing with in the 2nd half it became something different... Whereas Brahmastra feels like a beautiful garbage because they didn't just influenced the movie with commercial elements and then move on to the real story like kalki but they rather made a commercial and safe movie in their pov by focusing on a poor lovestory than the lore they had

Although global acclaim is a great asset, the politics of oscars and international awards have largely known to be skewed.

Satyajit Ray was one of the most brilliant cinematic minds ever born in India, if not the very best. As a person who read his biography, I came to realize he was influenced by numerous American and European films, most notably Bicycle Thieves. However, even as a child, I realized that Ray's unique filmmaking involved telling stories that are an integral part of Indian culture, but the lens through which he portrayed them was definitely European. Take for example movies like Kanchenjunga or Charulata; they appear to be made in the modern era, even though they are 60 or 70 years old... The way in which Ray thought about cinema was very different, and that is why his work seemed like poetry in motion. Each and every sequence in a movie used to be powerful and poignant. While Nayak was a deep exploration of the protagonist's psychological depths, not all his movies were like that, but they all somehow deeply explored the inner worlds of their characters... Now coming to the mainstream Bollywood cinema... Bollywood explores themes like love, but it doesn't get into the more nuanced aspects of any emotion. Like if a man loves a woman, why does he do so? What attracted him to her in the first place? And if a character behaves in an unusual conflicting way, what is that person going through in his or her inner world? Love is not a one dimensional experience, it has numerous dimensions, social, economical, psychological, cultural, etc. In fact, there can be things that we don't talk about as they are taboo, but are a part of life nevertheless, but such things are not discussed in our movies. This lack of depth characterizes Bollywood, and as a result, most movies are grossly superficial. Now, it is true that not everyone in a country can appreciate movies with such depth and philosophical outlook, because to be able to do so, you have to have the mindset in the first place. A lot of people do not even want to, as they see movies only to lighten up their minds after a hard day's work. These days, I find that a lot of OTT content explores deeper complex issues and have more nuanced exploration of characters, but mainstream production houses in Bollywood do not prefer to take risks with theater releases as they feel they are going to lose their money. It is possible to combine artistic cinema with mainstream appeal; such efforts have been made by directors like Bernardo Bertolucci, Abdellatif Kechiche and of course Christopher Nolan. But yeah, there should be spaces for all kinds of stories to be told, as otherwise movies become extremely predictable and boring.

Good Points, well made video but I totally disagree. For first Bollywood is not Indian Cinema, it was perceived like that for the longest time but its changing now. The knack for great storytelling is still present in every industry, specially south and even in hindi time to time you get really good films. All this is irrespective of the Box office. The example of Oppenheimer is false notion as its an exception, Nolan is a star and a big driving force for the masses to know him is the Dark knight trilogy. He mastered the art of blending great storytelling with grand scale. Most Hollywood films ruling at Indian Box office are the big run of the mill commercial films and to compete you have to do the same. The debate is not what Bollywood is doing but what the audiences are watching, thats what defines the kind of films made. Truth of the world is a Jawan will always be a Blockbuster in front of a Ray film and that has nothing to do with merit, society at large need escapism and not artistic introspection. There will be always market for different films but all cannot have the same goals, end of the day Cinema is business whatever it may mean to an individual. It was RRR that got us our First Oscar for Indian Production since Ray's lifetime achievement award. Cinema is always evolving, if its the same than you are not doing enough. keep at making videos 👍

end of the day it all comes to money, what makes the money is the best

Valuing american cinema awards is idiotic.

INSTEAD OF LOOKING AT BOLLYWOOD FILMS AND WHY AND ALL THE " HOW'S " IT IS SUCCESSFULLY DESTROYED INDIAN CINEMA ! GO AND LOOK AT EXACTLY " WHAT AUDIENCES SPECIFICALLY " IT CONVOLUTED AND DESIGNED ITSELF TO CATER TO IN THE LAST 2 AND A HALF DECADE FIRST !!😑😒 . I MEAN LOLS, U ALREADY TRYING TO BE A PROVOCATOR NOW BY FRIGGIN PLACING A SATYAJIT RAY RIGHT NEXT TO THAT ARAB SHOWPIECE MUSALMOIN KHAN AND DAT PIECE OF URDUWOOD FILTH MOVIE NO LESS !!!😖😖😖😆 GOSH !! U REALLY, ACTUALLY WENT THERE WHERE MANY HAD THOUGHT BUT DARE NOT GO ! , BUT SINCE YOU NOW WENT THERE 😩😩 ... SO HAD TO SPECIFY THE POINT !!😑😒 GO SPECIFICALLY LOOK AT TJE AUDIENCES WITHIN INDIA THEY DELIBERATELY WANT TO CATER TO😒 AND THEN TALK WHY THINGS ARE EXACTLY AS THEY ARE WITH THE ENTIRE INDIAN FILM SECTOR NOWDAYS, BOTH ON SCREEN AND THE EVEN MORE FILTHIER OFF SCREEN AND THEIR REAL LIVES !😑😒

You reek of high-brow elitism but you are absolutely on point.

Watch movies like aadujeevitham the goatlife, brahmayugam and manjummelboys. It will change your thinking.

I can't believe that two people can have the exact same thought. India is right now in a "mediocrity epidemic". And this has been further worsened with South Indian Cinema. Wherein the level of senselessness in movies is far greater than that in Bollywood. The problem is not with making these nonsensical masala movies. Hell we grew up watching them. The problem is that, it's an oversaturated party now that has become as dull and predictable as the sun coming up the next morning after a moonlit night. We have been unwillingly initiated into these parties for way too long. It's always the same, more or less. The balancing act would have been a considerable, if not equal, number of tastefully made movies with great imaginative stories that shakes us up from within. Why can't we have a Dune, LOTR, Tenet, Portrait Of A Lady On Fire??? And even if not anything like these, why can't we have our very own pantheon of imaginative stories with a great assortment of themes and characters??? Is it just me who's baffled about the fact that it took us 100+ years to atleast make a considerable science fiction movie??? Forget about how bad it is. But, why can't we be the front-runner of something that's good and original in the world???

Great explanation, great video, great telling. but turn the bg music down a bit. Hard to follow the words without captions

Bollywood🍿❌ Jihadiwood✅ Popewood✅ Anti-Bharatwood✅

Its Urduwood I have stopped watch the shit it produces

First and last step to any cinema is know what you want, know who you are, question and think about it, then write whatever comes into your mind, instead of watching other directors and people as cinema is ones consiouness itself portayed like a drawing you do on a blank sheet

Indian audience is dumb. Period

Keep telling good work going brother

There's a video called "LetterBoxd Has Ruined Watching Movies". I agree.

Bimal Roy and Hrishikesh Mukherjee represent that era in Hindi cinema, Salim Javed were the balance of masala movies with fleshed out characters. The 80s and 90s had an influx of 'mass audiences' which made bollywood what it is today. Mass audiences simply cannot find connect with something a privileged NRI type filmmaker would produce.

There should be a space for all kinds of cinema. The challenge lies in the economics of cinema. You'll only get more of what sells (or what is forcibly sold because the execs feel they can piggyback a formula)
