During the 1st week, bollywood is facing its worst ever crisis. Since coven curbs were lifted, crowds have pretty much failed to show up in large numbers of the cinemas, experts point to streaming services and even non hindi language rivals. To explain that drop off, but what exactly is ailing the multi 1000000000. 00 industry isnt so queer. Known for its glitz and glamour, drama, and dance bollywood finds itself in a real life horror story. Where once many of indias 1400000000 population would cue for these movies. Now theres only a fraction. Even stars like a chicken my are army hun fear to bring in the crowds. Back in the day. You had this big star. Ah, you know, who could do anything ones cream. And even despite him doing whatever good or bad, whatever it is, he would end up getting a collection of wanted 150. 00 course because of a star bullet, or despite the content being where the poor major. But now i think audience is not going for that honey. Mckayden says the audience has changed their viewing preferences and want more compelling content. Others in the industry are baffled. Tis the was faces. It were free. Previously, there is there used to be a flops previously. Also, in so many years, but one or 2 gloves nowadays. A did prov stanton who ups turns out the movies still doing well at the box office are no longer bollywood. But dollywood productions meet by delegate language neighbors in southern india. Competition is also strong from streaming services. Insiders wonder if bollywood will ever return to its successful heights . And if like most bollywood movies, well have a happy ending. Lets go over to our corresponded charl cartucker in delhi. Charo. There are a lot of opinions on why bollywood is struggling right now. Is there one explanation that you find most compelling . Well steven, you know, and theres a joke in my family and that these days, all you need to do to be able to enjoy a private screening is just by your own ticket because you buy in order to get and b, this a showed that no one else is gonna turn up at the theaters. My jokes about this is a big problem in the industry is really struggling. There are estimates that suggest that while in 2009 that is just before the 2019, just before the pandemic, the losses for the ab order, the failure rate for the hindi Film Industry was 39 percent my right now. It is at 77 percent. So that has staggeringly doubled many reasons of course. But i think the most compelling that i find is the rise of o t t a at least 25000000 people across the country use or t t. Now they essentially meaning that they watch movies on their handsets and on other devices within the confines of their home, or even when they are traveling their Services Like netflix, amazon prime, hot star, z 5 that offer a monthly subscription. That is about the same value as that offer one ticket of over watching one movie. So thats something that i really fi. It could be a compelling reason. Although, you know, people are still grappling still trying to understand what is really behind the decline in numbers as far as the Hindi Film Industries concerned. Steve, there have been at the same time some observations at the fall off in the box office for bollywood films. Has paralleled the rise in hindu nationalism in india. It could be that the cultural attitude towards bollywood is really changing. Well, yes and no on that. Steven barkley yes. Because among the biggest hits of this year, now, one of them was cash move files, which was a telling of a retailing of the military. The story of the militancy era of fergus, me from a hindu right wing sort of her perspective. And it was quite a success at the box office. But apart from that, just after that, another movie on a period drama on a, on a, on a, on an emperor believe to be a sort of a, a, a hindu, a favorite that will be tagged at the box office. So a wildcard ssl added you which could be changing and these movies are being made and theyre being popularized by the party in power at the center. But then not all of these movies that have been doing well at the box office. Stephen, were also hearing that there are other indian films from other regions that are being dubbed into handy. Theyre actually doing quite well. Is there any explanation there will . Yes, even that is mostly a daniel and daily who films now who has dubbed versions have been doing really well. Ah, in the hindi heartland. And that has been happening even before pandemic. There was probably then after pandemic, there was, are, are there was k g, f, a. The reason could be that these are movies. How are offering of fresh change in terms of the script in terms of direction. Some of them have been very big budget in a period dramas, which with, with the grand treatment that something dr. The hindi Film Industry is yet to experiment with. And of course, many, our analysts are also of the opinion that her, the bad scripts, which are audience, was a bearing with 4 of the gods. For the last couple of years before the pandemic, the audience appears to have ah tired feeling tired of the bad scripts anymore, so it needs fresh scripts may be a fresh perspective to look at cinema or steven.
