No, no Asif, I am not complaining, I am curious why people in general don't like Hollywood movies compared to Indian movies aside from cultural aspect.
As far as nudity part is concerned, yeah, I definitely think there is a lot of stuff in Indian movies these days that parents should watch for if they want to control what their children are watching. Actually, forget the nudity, there is even a lot of stuff in Indian movies that insinuating. You don't really have to see a woman's naked body to insinuate anything.
Last year, by chance I watched this Indian movie song on video. Well, the way herion was moving her breasts in tight clothes under the narrow focus of camera was quite 'interesting' to watch. A simple kiss in an Hollywood movie is nothing compared to that one.
I think Jullundari Siddhai's point is quite valid on the romance angle. Hollywood romance involve premarital sex but Indian movies' romance still is contained to the concept of 'Ishq'. And generally our youth is brought up discouraging premarital sex notion. So for them the viable solution is to watch Indian movies.
Khurram,
I won't say that every Hollywood movie is better than every Bollywood movie, and that's exactly I used the expression, 'generally speaking'. True that a lot of Hollywood movies are also remakes of other movies. And the concept of 'Hollywood formula' does exist, but overall, I think it's more predominant in Indian movies than in Hollywood movies. Hollywood movies (again, generally speaking) tend to off at least some sort of different sub-plots in the story.
I personally like a lot of Indian movies. Hey, I can watch Sholay (even though it was copycat work of a Hollywood movie, I forgot it's name) or movies like Satay pay Sata (another copy of the movie 7 brides and 7 bridgrooms), and a lot of movies that were made in 70's and in early 80's anytime over and over again. And I'm sure there are still a lot of newer movie that are really good (The last two good movies that I really liked were 'jo jeeta wohi sikandar' and 'kabhi haaN kabhi naaN') but most of the newer stuff I personally find not desirable. The drama, the emotions, the classic sense of 'qurbani' in the characters and all is too overwhelmingly picturized compared to Hollywood stuff. I don't find it entertainingly realistic.
Another thing I personally noticed that in Hollywood movies, you know what you are getting genre-wise compared to Indian movies. If it's a romantic comedy, well, it's a romantic comedy. If it's action adventure, then yeah, you will get some romance, some jokes but the focus will still remain on the central theme. In Indian movies, you get all of the above in every single movie. I think, in that sense, the Indian Art movies (you know all those good old Naseer-ul-din Shah and Samita Patal etc movies) are very good. But now, it's dominantly commercialized.
One of my Indian friend told me that in India, there is so much population and lesser opportunities of entertainment that even if a movie is bum, it will get its money back since people will watch it at least once with a huge population, it sure is gonna get its money back.
