Ek waqt tha jab Bollywood duniya ka sabse bada aur profitable film industry mana jata tha. Lekin aaj, naye zamane ke sath Bollywood ka graph neeche girta ja raha hai. Flop hoti badi-budget filme, audience ka OTT aur South Indian cinema ki taraf jhukav, aur naye filmmakers ki creativity ki kami—ye sab milkar Bollywood ki haalat kharab kar rahe hain.
Is article me hum samjhenge ki Bollywood cinema kyu decline ho raha hai aur kaunsi filme ispar sabse bada impact daalne wali rahi hain.
1. Content ki Kami Aur Repetitive Stories
Ek bada factor hai weak content. Pehle Bollywood me naye concepts aur strong storytelling hoti thi, jaise ki Dil Chahta Hai, Lagaan, Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara jaise movies. Lekin ab remakes aur mindless masala movies ka trend chal raha hai.
Flop Remakes: Shehzada (Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo ka remake), Selfiee (Driving License ka remake), Bholaa (Kaithi ka remake) – ye sab South Indian movies ke remakes the jo original jitni strong nahi thi.
Weak Scripts: Nayi filme ya toh same purani formulas ko repeat karti hain ya phir bas star power ke bharose chhod di jati hain.
Audience ab ek hi tarah ki predictable stories dekh dekh kar bore ho chuki hai.
2. Star Power Ka Asar Kam Hona
Pehle sirf bade stars ka naam hi film chalane ke liye kaafi hota tha, lekin ab audience content ko judge karke decide karti hai ki film dekhni hai ya nahi.
Shah Rukh Khan: 2023 me Pathaan aur Jawan blockbusters rahi, lekin Dunki expected level ka perform nahi kar pai.
Salman Khan: Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan superflop rahi. Pehle ke zamane me bhale hi Salman ki movies chali ho, lekin ab audience sirf superstar presence se impress nahi hoti.
Akshay Kumar: Pehle ek saal me 3-4 hit filme dene wale Akshay Kumar ki Bachchan Pandey, Raksha Bandhan, Samrat Prithviraj, Selfiee jaise movies box office par pit gayi.
Naye actors bhi aaye hain, lekin unka impact abhi tak limited hai. Vicky Kaushal, Rajkummar Rao, Kartik Aaryan jaise actors ache hain, lekin wo abhi Salman-Shahrukh level ki audience pull nahi la sakte.
3. South Cinema Ki Dominance
South Indian movies jaise KGF, Pushpa, RRR aur Kantara ne sirf South me nahi, balki pan-India level par dhamaka kiya. Bollywood ab inki storytelling aur larger-than-life action ko copy karne ki koshish kar raha hai, lekin wo South jaise impact nahi bana paa raha.
Pushpa: The Rise aur KGF 2 ne dikhaya ki masala content bhi agar sahi tarike se present ho toh audience usse accept karti hai.
Kantara jaise small-budget movies bhi original storytelling aur cultural connect ke wajah se blockbuster bani.
Is wajah se ab audience South Indian cinema ko Bollywood se better samajhne lagi hai.
4. OTT Platforms Ki Growth
Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+ Hotstar jaise OTT platforms ne Bollywood ke liye competition aur bada diya hai. Pehle log buri filme bhi sirf theatre experience ke liye dekhne jate the, lekin ab ghar baith kar better content enjoy kar sakte hain.
OTT ne small-budget aur experimental films ko bhi space diya hai. Jaise Mirzapur, Sacred Games, Asur jaise shows ne audience ko naye aur bold content ki aadat dalwa di hai.
5. Controversies Aur Boycott Culture
Pichle kuch saalon me Bollywood ko boycott culture ka bhi samna karna pada hai. Social media pe Bollywood ki nepotism, religious bias, aur drug culture se judi controversies ne industry ki image bigaadi hai.
Nepotism Debates: Sushant Singh Rajput ki maut ke baad Karan Johar aur star kids jaise Alia Bhatt, Ananya Panday, Janhvi Kapoor ko boycott karne ki baat hone lagi.
Religious Controversies: Pathaan ke Besharam Rang song par controversy, Adipurush ke dialogues ka backlash, aur Laal Singh Chaddha boycott campaign ne films ki performance ko directly affect kiya.
Jab log star aur industry se naraz hote hain, toh wo unki filme dekhna bandh kar dete hain.
6. Konsi Filme Bollywood Ke Downfall Ka Sabse Bada Karan Bani?
Kuch bade failures jo Bollywood ke decline ko accelerate karne wale bane:
1. Laal Singh Chaddha (2022): Aamir Khan ki yeh movie ek Hollywood classic Forrest Gump ka remake thi, lekin expected impact nahi bana pai. Boycott trend ne isko aur weak kar diya.
2. Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan (2023): Salman Khan ki ye generic masala film thi jo purane South movies ka formula follow karti thi. Audience ne reject kar diya.
3. Bachchan Pandey (2022) & Selfiee (2023): Akshay Kumar ki ye dono movies South remakes thi jo flop rahi.
4. Adipurush (2023): Prabhas ki film hone ke bawajood weak VFX aur bad dialogues ki wajah se ye movie disaster bani.
5. Ganapath (2023): Tiger Shroff aur Kriti Sanon ki ye sci-fi action film ek massive flop rahi, kyunki script aur execution weak tha.
Conclusion: Kya Bollywood Wapas Top Pe Aa Sakta Hai?
Bollywood ka decline abhi bhi reversible hai, lekin iske liye industry ko naye ideas aur original filmmaking par dhyan dena hoga. Aane wale saalon me agar directors aur producers naye concepts aur authentic storytelling pe focus karein, toh Bollywood wapas apni lost glory paa sakta hai.
Lekin agar wahi remakes, weak scripts aur nepotism-ba
sed casting chalta raha, toh South aur Hollywood Bollywood ko completely overshadow kar denge.
