Nepo nexus kills India's Bollywood film industry (OMG 😮) - Page 2

Bollywood luck quality writers and directors more than actors. Blaming actors like Suhana na Janvi is clueless

Kapoor embodies the real problem with Bollywood: a product of nepotism who gets opportunity after opportunity to lead films, despite being repeatedly rejected by audiences.

A top director I spoke to said, “She can’t act at all. She can’t even speak properly. If you want to be an actor, at least enunciate correctly. She can’t even be bothered with that. Worse, she’s hugely arrogant, thinking of herself as no less than her illustrious mother and travelling with a giant entourage whose only job is to sycophantically tell her how wonderful she is and second-guess the director. Kapoor is not believable in any role and only knows how to play herself, as if a film is a Koffee with Karan episode.”

I'm glad someone is finally saying what the rest of us have been thinking for so long. What we see on Koffee with Karan is the extent of Janhvi's "acting" depth.

As useless as Sara, Jhanvi, and Ananya are, they hardly have the impact to destabilize Bollywood. Especially in male dominated society.

What we lack are good scripts, original music, and a lack of connect with the masses.

We also lack dependable young male stars. The last breed of strong actors with screen presence and X factor are shahid, Ranbir and Ranveer. And they’re not even young!

Totally agree with everything you wrote.

Having said that, industry is very very badly missing, since long, a replacement of a Sridevi, a Madhuri, a Juhi, Kajol, Karishma, Raveena, Urmila, Tabu, Kareena, Priyanka.....

What about t h i s part of the article:

"Producers and directors shy away from “controversial” subjects, fearing legal cases, harassment, and violence. A certain political thought polices movies, ensuring that contrarian viewpoints face a firewall..."

It's not a current process but already started some years before Covid...then Covid-lockdowns made people turn to other possibilies than going to the movies by watching movies (abundantly) on TV/OTT...and many people discovered other filmindustries (also other Indian ones).

Pointing at some actors/actresses, hyping nepotism-bashing, blaming writers/directors/producers will lead to no change, imo...the Hindi filmindustry gets suffocated like other departments of Indian life (in my feeling)... and not many dare to bring fresh air...
