Bollywood's effects on Culture and Society

Movie watchers from Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Kerala and Andhra are a whole new audience for tinsel town now. They are the new target audience and their power should not be underestimated.

The shockingly low USD 27,000, Rs 20 lakh in Indian currency, was offered to a commercial surrogate Mimi, in the film, by a foreign childless couple, a steal in comparison to what they would have to pay for the same in the US, was played out as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the aspiring actress. Sadly, the perception sticks with the viewers even despite India having initiated a legislation to ban commercial surrogacy. Little wonder then that, over the last decade, the Who’s Who of the Hindi Film Industry – fully aware of a strict legislation on surrogacy on its way in India - rushed to get themselves children born through surrogacy before the Surrogacy (Regulation) Bill comes into effect. Almost all of them may not qualify for surrogacy, should they apply for the same, under the new law.

Don’t be tolerant to mediocrity from Bollywoodians – walk away from a shitty movie instead of trying to recover the ticket price by watching it until the skimpy-dressed lady in the item song comes on screen or until till the end credits start to roll.

This LOVE JIHAD is not the invention of present-day “communal” Hindus, as claimed by Left-liberal Hindus. It has been there for last thousand years.

A city beyond imagination, a city where India starts and ends. A city of magical moments and experience of life.

Our youth needs to understand that being a soldier being a nationalists is the biggest pride an human could ever have.

Attacking the messenger ideology has left Bollywood totally exposed in the eye of the common public, damage control would have been better organised by owning up to mistakes made and assuring cooperation with the authorities.

Hindus have been fed into the propaganda from various mediums like TV, films and news. More worrying is the fact that they are fed the propaganda through the devotional TV serials as well.

It makes us believe that Muslims in India are not being treated with respect that they deserve and we start feeling apologetic about it somewhere in our subconcious mind.

Bollywood has miserably failed to project woman more than an object to spice the glam content of the movie. How many movies do we remember where we have heroine as a meaningful part of the whole story leave aside as the lead character.
