Who else is bored of movies about patriotism, social issues etc.? - Page 2

of course ... what great answers, these girls would obviously want love stories to fantasize the couples n chemistry in dreamy lala land , so cliched 🤪😆the answer should have been we need good films. good content that not sells shit but inspire..but fake love stories dont survive for long, atleast in this one...one is coming pal pal dil ke paas..let's see kitni ladkiyan jaati hai apna sab ghar baar bechkar film dekhne 🤣

I know right. I think the reason love stories are not selling much is because no one is writing love stories that are interesting. Hasee Toh Phasee was the last one I liked. It’s been a while.

That's because this is the "Deti hai toh de varna kat le" era.

Why not Bollywood films aimed at teenagers

bored hone ki pehle dekhna toh padega na?😆

I dont mind 'social issues/message and patriotism' included as a part of a movie. but not entire movie based on these things. patriotism is not like take one brave person's story and kichdi pakao.

if it has a strong story, it is always welcomed. like URI.

Agreed! The patriotic aspect is just getting too boring, repetitive and feels forced! I am not able to tolerate Akshay Kumar anymore- he seems to be riding this wave of patriotic films one after the other! Unbearable!

Not me, the problem with Akki is stereotyping.

2016: Neither of Rustom nor Houseful there were patriotic movies per say. Yes Rustom had a tiny sub plot, but that was a sub plot.

2017: Jolly LLB nor Toilet were patriotic movies.

2018: Padman wasn't patriotic, nor was 2.0.

2019: Kesari wasn't patriotic, it was more about Sikh pride. Houseful and Good News ain't going to be patriotic.

This Akki only does patriotic movies thing is silly. We all saw how badly SRK got trashed with all of his romantic movies this decade, sorry but audience doesn't accept these oldies as romantic hereos any more.

And they're not going to do mature love stories because, they are big money guys. Will not risk a flop movie for pleasing random Joe in internet.

As for social drama, what is so wrong about them?? Yes we can critique them not being made well, but the disdain for them is kinda silly.

Also BW hardly ever makes good love stories, like ever. They can't even do time pass rom com well. I will rather watch fun South Indian.dubbed or subs romantic movies, than watch BW half arsed ones.

That is because BW just over-sexualizes everything. Love isn't all about having sex. Yeah, it's not about romamcing around a tree or some crap but why can't we have an organic and realistic/passionate love story.

JHMS type of shit has already been made a hundred times and people are tired of that. We get Kalank, Dulhania series, and Ae Dil Hai mushkil kinda crap as love stories.

Not bored of patriotic or social issues topics but rather how they're presented. We're given a very formulaic movie these days and it's just tough to even start watching it cuz of repetitiveness. Whatever topic or genre a movie be, unless it's completely new or seldom tried like horror, it most probably has ten other movies being made on similar lines. So, it should be made well. Not just put in some regular elements and make it a hit and then onto the next one. This seems to be popular amongst filmmakers because they know such movies won't get bad WOM that much since people don't talk badly about these themes. I wish there were more passion projects in BW. That's why I love SLB's movies. There is some repetition of course, maybe to mark his signature style but he puts so much effort in every one of them, most aspects of his movies are worth talking about.

I did say movies about patriotism AND social issues.. I guess it depends on your preference but for me Akshay doing so many of this type feels repetitive and manipulative. The movies are mostly generic and formularic as hell..

I'm not saying he should do romance instead, like you said apart from a mature love story (which were never popular) that wouldn't work for them but there is still more variety possible. A good comedy, some action, a thriller movie etc. it's not like the only options are heavy handed movies about social issues or romance
