Is it just me or did 2019 suddenly see a slide in levels of quality in Bollywood? Or maybe I am just becoming even more fussy about what I go to see in the theatre, especially considering the range and depth available on Netflix/Prime? Probably boith.
My two biggest issues with the current state of Hindi cinema are that (a) the era of well made, engaging blockbusters (in the vein of Om Shanti Om or Mr. India) has been replaced by the Dabangg/Housefull variety (b) in complete contradiction to the world around us, the calibre of female roles & actresses themselves is steadily declining.
In 2019, the only movies I have really liked are Gully Boy and Article 15. Most of the others I didn't even watch.
