Since a few years, we are noticing lot of criticism of Bollywood, movie plots, and actors character. But the changes they have made over the past few years have gone unnoticed by us. I enjoy watching web series, hence now a days I can't watch every movie. Let's start with the hotly debated "Rocky aur Rani ki love story." The Indian family structure has been brilliantly shown in the film, which also fearlessly depicts the role of the husband in upholding his wife's honour. There is nothing wrong with correcting family elders when they are in the wrong, and by doing this, no one will be considered to be non-cultural.
The second box office dud "Jug jug jiyo"... told the tale of a woman, her family, and her job. Furthermore, there is never a situation where a man slaps his wife because his ego is damaged during an argument. It appeared in too many 1990s films.
Bollywood has produced numerous films about LGBTQ communities, like Badhai Do, Ek Ladki Ko Dekha To, etc. Even the producers were confident that it wouldn't be a big hit because the majority of the viewers couldn't identify to the story, but it has sparked conversation about the issue in society and would inevitably result in change.
It was all too normal for men to slap women to break up arguments, but Bollywood has taught society that doing so is not a sign of true manhood.
Bollywood actors have spoken out against animal cruelty. I still recall the scene where one of the participants was discussing his freedom in Roadies. When Neha Dhupiya asked him about his sister, he replied that she was not allowed to leave the house, attend college, wear anything other than a salwar, etc., and that he was proud to be a man for placing such limitations on her. I believe Neha had a point when she criticised him. If someone else had been around, she might have been able to appreciate all of this absurdity as part of culture.
We pay more attention to the saree than the chandrayan, Mahi's wife's dress, and Jadeja's wife's saree, and on the basis of those things, we judge both of them. Bollywood deserves praise for moving towards eradicating all crap.
