Indian cinema or 'Bollywood' as it is commonly acknowledged as around the world, has evolved faster in the last 5 years than it did in the last 50. The movies of a time reflect the mood/sentiment of the nation, from movies about struggle of a new nation in the 50s -60s, to the rise of the rebel in 70s, to the family dramas of the 8os to the rise of individualism in 90s. Indian cinema is just like any other business, when you see the volume of products lined up every friday. Refreshingly after suffering from the nonsense formula attempts by many filmmakers, the audience has grown and evolved and meaningful movies are making the cut. What used to be art films are the today's multiplex-only movies. Many recent successes are centered around the success of the script,with an exception of the Salman Khan and tribe, who sell to the lowest common denominator.
