Unlike many desis, I do not feel divorces or broken relationships are undesi. Nor are affairs non existant in India. However, even when things go wrong there is a sense of effort and doing the right thing for the family.

I do wonder what is wrong with Bollywood, the world has come to such that I have to resort to movies like Bride Wars and Made of Honor for my romcoms and the HSM series as wholesome musicals.

i think if you are talking about the western influence only, i say then nothing is wrong with bollywood cos whole india is west obsessed😡😆

Reality cinema , i guess, you have forgotten completely about.

Anurag Kashyap's movies, Madhur Bhandarkar's movies, then "A wednesday" , "aamir" , these are some of the best of bollywood, however for a conservative audience they might generally be unacceptable.

Another thing, i think your idea of bollywood movies is kinda oldies ? isn't it ? tell me yes or no, then i'll say something more regarding the issue.

I LOVED Aamir. I have not seen A Wednesday, but I do wish to. Movies like Aamir, Pinjar, and all that reality cinema movies that Bollywood makes blow me away - but you have to admit that they are a rarity. They may be unacceptable in the masses - but those movies are sensational and heart wrenching.

Define "oldies" then I will answer your question. My idea of a good movie Bollywood is K3G for fun and entertainment. Aamir and Pinjar type movies for heart-wrenching drama. And Munna Bhai MBBS for comedy. That's it.

If u r talking about Masala cinema then it has always been like this from the era of 70's to 90's..what new about  todays cinema is foreign locations ...masala movies are meant for entertainment only from the beginning..What Cinema is showing today if its not 100% then i would say it is at least 75% a reflection of todays society.As far as dresses are concern u cant wear mini's or tights in Delhi 6 ( chandani chowk) but u can wear it in Selectcity and some other places of South Delhi ( its common).

Movies R made with the audience in mind. Whatever sells is dished out in large nos 😉😆

But that's exactly what worries me. Apparently what sells these days is Mallika Sherawat - which leaves me worried for the future of our desi boys.

But WA Malika is flop today... Amir Khan sells today ( producer /director/actor)

I'm not thinking of anything in particular. Just lack of feel good cinema or simply fun cinema, period. Too many people are making slicker multiplex cinema instead of cinema for the masses.

I'm an opening night kind of gal. POTC, LOTR, and such. I could careless if the entire cast was naked, it has to be campout worthy. Cinema should be epic, larger than life, and in Bollywood that means more dreams, more flowers, more running around trees. I might be the only person complaining about lack of kitsch.
