Join the discussion what powers the Boycott Bollywood movement and why is it working?
The boycott trend started Tutu Song Baisharam Rang in which people objected to the saffron color of Dipikapa Dukone's dress. Many found it offensive to the Hindu culture. However, this film performed really well on its opening day and it owned about rupees 25 kilogram. The success of Patan film has proved that boycott gang may not be the reason behind Bollywood's repeated flops. What are your views on this? Do let me know

Therefore, I believe that it's not just the Bollywood gang, it's the content and the quality of films that are being made now. Many films who were a great box office hit or OTT hits even after those SSR's death and all those nepotism going around such as Sadharudham Singh, it was a really major hit bulbulayatu in that case. So I believe it is craft and the quality of moral ethics that has been degraded

I am, like, against boycotting. There's no point of boycotting any movies, TV least. So thank you so much for coming up with this podcast. It's really amazing
But since South Indian film industry has always been based on realism, and it always has that connect with the audience that at the end of the day, whatever you see in the form of cinema is your story, it's your life, it's your struggle that we are depicting. A normal south film has the dialogues that we just normally speak in our households or that we can relate to. Even the scripting is just so on point and so fabulous that you can actually relate with it. Okay?

I think the Boycott BOLIVARD thing after the Sushant Singh Rajputh case had more to do with him not getting opportunities because of nepotism, which ultimately people believe to be a leading cause of what happened. So while people might be putting up hashtags for boycott BOLIVARD and things like that, I think if the movie is good, and if people think it's a good theme, they might watch it

And I think people should stop thinking about Bollywood as the entire industry is I would say bad because lack of words. So I think boycotting entire Bollywood is not what we should be doing. It's based on one certain people or certain group of people. So thank you forshi for coming up with this topic

Hi Gungun. I somehow agree to whatever you spoke. But this is a fact that big ticket movies like Lal Singh, Chauhan Raksha Bansal Brahm Hastra ranmay 34 have fallen prey to the anger and discontentment of internet users. Even stars like Ahmed Khan, Akshay Kumar, Sharu Khan who were immensely popular earlier but now they have suddenly fallen out of the favors of thousands of fans. This is all of because of the boycott happening earlier. People were very much connected to these stars

So these days, what we see is the south movies are somewhat getting more love and affection than Bollywood movies are. And there's nothing wrong with that considering how hard south movies, south movie makers work on their movies. And I have seen their hard work over the past many years now. So I know that the praise they're getting right now is what they deserved all along. Coming to Bollywood and pathan. Pathan I recently watched just yesterday

The young boy who rose from nowhere, from the slums of New Delhi to being the superstar of the country. I think in many ways, people who have grown up with this stuff realized what they were missing from Bollywood in peak little ways. Because Bollywood always has been a spectacle. Bollywood was not about cinema at all. If you look at the genesis of Bollywood, it's spectacle based storytelling. It is not subtle, it is so loud

And for the love of God, certain films are exclusively centered on the explicit content, since the producers are very well aware that there is a specific target audience which they are aiming for. If we want change, India must improve their sense of judgment and improve their style of thinking. It has always been about the mindset. A century back, 500 centuries, 500 years back, even the ancient times, it has always been about the mindset
They are not even like concentrating on the flag that is the movie really bad or is the movie good? But since it is a Bollywood movie, every movie has been targeted, okay? Especially movies of big stars. I think. And I would say something from myself, that when the Sushan's death happened, at that time, I also thought that, oh my God, Bollywood is so bad. Vision watched Bollywood movies. But later I realized that it's not about Bollywood movies

I mean, yes, I do know that if you see a trailer of a movie and you're not liking the scenes, you can definitely say that, oh, I am not going to watch this movie because whatever they are portraying, I don't like that. You can do that. Obviously, it is your opinion, but you just cannot boycott the whole movie. You cannot just say that I am boycotting the whole movie and everybody should boycott the whole movie

Hi, Krishna. Thank you so much for coming up. Coming back with the reply, I just want to say one thing. Yes. I do agree that people here in India are immensely like connected with the stars, like Shah Khan, a Shagma. They are the really big personality for the people outside. So, yeah, agreed, when they have fallen out with them in, but somehow boycott is like just plus point for the marketing strategy to them. That's what I think
But some people have a definite purpose behind it. And I think that instead of just blindly following discussion, discussion, discussion, boycott Bollywood movement working insight behind the purpose of it, instead of just following the mob, it's our duty to acknowledge what is right and what is not. I loved the way you covered holistically everything about this topic, and it was very insightful as well. Keep it up

So I guess that can be more than the hashtag boycott moment. That is the reason for regression in the income of Bollywood films. I hope that makes sense. Thank you very much. Great topic
Hi. I'm love and it was great listening to you as well and I got to know about Nepotism that I already knew but it enhanced my knowledge towards it after listening to you as well. But I wanted you to know that it sounds like you are reading from an article which shouldn't be like if I'm listening as a newbie who doesn't listen to to audio books and all so he think that it's a normal audio of someone
