EP3 : Small Films Big Impact

Bollywood is bleeding. There seems to be a disconnect between what the audience wants and what filmmakers are offering. Are the rise of OTT and popularity of South Indian films hastening Bollywood's death? How can the industry be revived?

Is the Hindi film industry dead? Pan-India films made in the South are raking it in and Hindi films are flopping at the box office. Big releases, usually bankable stars and storylines seem to have turned the audience away from Hindi films. Audience tastes have evolved and Southern films have their finger on the pulse, even as the Hindi film industry is gasping.

Small-budget films in Bollywood are redefining success, proving that impactful storytelling can eclipse even the grandest productions. These underdog movies, often made with limited resources, have struck a chord with audiences, delivering huge returns at the box office and reshaping the industry's landscape.
