Changing Bollywood Trends You Need To Know

While the black and white old love story still is the backbone of Bollywood films even in the 21st century, many films have now changed trends and gone much beyond the style of film-making. Let us see what Bollywood has got new to show it’s audience.

Content will be the king

Movies in the past few years have shown that a blockbuster hit not only needs superstars and a brand name. The story and the new content that the movie shows up is what that the audiences look for. Most box-office hits, big and small, in recent times have shown that the popular desire for novelty is here to stay;films have to be made on novel storylines.

Unusual Genres to Soar

Lately, the audience has grown receptive to genres that did not find wide acceptance even a few years ago. The past few years have shown an increasing demand for women-oriented subjects, biopics, and films without songs, among other genres so far considered unconventional in Hindi films. Films like Badhai Ho and Gully Boy make this quite evident.

The Female Heroes

The ‘damsel in distress’ narrative with a Prince Charming to her rescue is slowly fading away not only from Fairy tales but, many Bollywood films as well.Not only the female perspective gas been shown in many films, but they have also been made to come out as the hero at the end like in Raazi, Lipstick Under My Burkha, Pink and many more.

Superstars' Stardom at Stake

With new faces appearing on the big screen, films have proofed that big hits not always need big stars. Many debuts have got success for their talent and many previously known but small actors have now come in the foreground. Sara Ali Khan, Vicky Kaushal, Raj Kumar Rao are among the other names. Do big stars need to worry about this?

Not Always Happy Ending

These days when watching films one cannot always be relaxed to find a happy ending. Many movies now disturb the audiences by sad or open endings. The audience is left both shocked and unhappy when the find either the hero or heroine dying at the end or when they part their ways. However, such movies have brought a new trend in Bollywood cinema.
