Can Bollywood's acting catch up to Hollywood?

While Bollywood does make good movies then again, the acting however is horrendously bad.

I have never cried watching Bollywood movies where as I have cried watching Saving Private Ryan, The Green Mile, etc.

I was mezmorized by the devastating performance by Robert DeNiro in Taxi Driver and Heat. (Two of my favourite all time movies)

My guess is that Bollywood actors are chosen on their looks and who their family is rather than talent.

Where as Hollywood is also heavy looks but it is balanced with Talent examples such as Tom Hanks and Robert DeNiro.

What do you guys think?

Quote on Bollywood

Indians are not at par with Hollywood actors. There is a huge gap in communication among Indians as compared to the West. If you go and ask how Indian cinema fares among the Western people, the only reaction will be of laughter. I am being honest to say that people laugh at our cinema saying they are like Indian circus. Sadly enough the media in India over hypes Indian films to the hilt. I would rather let my performance talk rather than talk big in the media.”

Indian films can never be at par with global films in any respect, right from the scripting to screening. It is so systematic.
