Bollywood movies seem to be in a period of transition. Bollywood is a business card for India to promote to the world, and the development direction of Bollywood movies seems to reflect the direction of India's development from one aspect. Undoubtedly, represents today's Bollywood special effects or the highest level of Indian technology in film production. The entire film emphasizes this fact all the time. At the same time, probably because of the Indian people’s habit of "doing only one thing a day" for thousands of years, when the film emphasizes special effects, it is inevitable to lose sight of one another and become stretched, making the film appear pale and weak in terms of content expression, flashy, and even There are suspicions of copycat Iron Man and Terminator. The few Indian movies I watched recently are also new ones, keeping up with the pace of the Indian entertainment industry. It is not difficult to see that the shooting techniques and expressions of Bollywood movies from to are closer to Hollywood movies. India has always been eager to integrate into European and American societies. This is the Indian psychology that can be clearly seen in the movies for a long time. Coupled with the improvement in the level of Bollywood science fiction special effects in recent years, this kind of national psychology has become more prominent. There are fewer local shots in the film, and more scenes are taken in Singapore, Malaysia, and European countries. This should be called "coincidence" or "competitive imitation" with Hollywood. In the movie, scenes such as martial arts scenes and street car chasing gun battles continue to appear, which are obviously the shooting style of Hollywood movies. Except for sari and a few songs and dances, it is difficult for us to see those very Indian elements in the movie (I am talking about the shooting style, Indian accents should not be taken into account). I watched Discovery’s interview with Indian film scholar MKRaghavendra last night. When talking about the future development of Indian cinema, he replied: “In a while, Indian style will disappear from Indian cinema. In the movie, except Chicken Tikka Masala (a kind of Other than Indian food), there is no Indian style anymore.” Obviously, this is India's pursuit of integrating into the world, and Indian cinema's choice on the road to internationalization. Hearing his answer like this is somewhat disappointing. If Bollywood follows in Hollywood's footsteps too much, why don't we look at Hollywood directly, but pay attention to a "cottage"? ? Rather than imitating the picture effects and content forms of Hollywood blockbusters, there are a large number of gorgeous singing and dancing on , and the local Indian scenery and profound themes of <3 Idiots>, The real social issues reflected in , and even , , typical Indian love stories, are the chaabi (key) that Bollywood really attracts the audience. Because we already have a Hollywood, and at the same time, there is only one Bollywood.
