Bollywood truly represents the changing Indian society
Hmmm...truly is the keyword here. How will you describe 'truly'? In my opinion, there are lot of films that come out from indian film industry. Out of these most films are made to keep the audience entertained (depends on the taste of the viewer). Do they represent the changing indian society? Yes, if we are talking about the new middle class which has got the spending power and which is getting the exposure of the new market driven economy. Most movies cater and target to this segment of audience. The diversity of indian society, the kind of problem we as a society faces in our daily lives, are not represented in our movies in the real sense. It is more of a caricature, an escapist route taken, in most of the movies. Our cinema is yet to mature and produce the kind of art that will give it the distinct indian feel and by indian feel i do not intend to point out just song and dance.
