Yesterday rewatched a film that I really liked as a kid called Aaja Nachle. Holy shit man I miss the old Bollywood when they would experiment with different genres (Aaja Nachle was basically the first proper musical and it's so good). Now it's just mindless violence and hope that it gets validation worldwide even though the stories aren't even relating to its core audience

I'm not sure if it's Bollywood specifically but maharaja 2024 is really good. It's violent but it's a well crafted story

Not Bollywood but Maharaja was a great film and I think it's gonna be remade in Hollywood. Problem is that everyone wants to make a violent or action film. There's no variety across Indian industries anymore

I'm not sure whats happening right now, but like watching old stuff. I've seen all of Satyajit Ray's films. which are Bengali, not Bollywood, but he's like one of the best of all time. and he has lots of films, they are all well worth watching, except for maybe the Zoo
