From the time i have started watching Hollywood movies, i have started to despise Bollywood movies to the core. Over the time i have tried to compare Hollywood and Bollywood movies and i feel terrible that till date we are entertained by movies where we don't have to use our brains, infact we are suggested not to carry our brains along to the cinema! Indian audience is so naive and gullible that anything spicy will keep them engrossed and that's the reason why inspite of having biggest movie industry Indian cinema still lags behind in terms of substance. According to me Hollywood has edge over Bollywood in following matters:
1) Science? What's that? : As against flying cars and wall smashing punches, Hollywood stunts seem more real and believable. We are so obsessed with Rajnikanth that we tend to applaud every bullshit he carries out on screen. In Bollywood Budget is inversely related to story and logic.
2) The Jaadu of graphics and special effects: This is the point where Bollywood doesn't even come close. The finishing and polishing is so marvelous that you forget for a moment that you are watching fiction.Be it animated movies or sci-fi, they seem as real as they want us to believe. e.g. Despicable me, Avengers etc.
3) Variety of subjects: For years aliens have been invading earth in Hollywood and when those aliens land in Bollywood, what crops is a pathetic series of sequels. For that matter even superheroes are a good consideration. Marvel and DC superheroes still reign the screens and our own Krrish makes us look so minuscule against the likes of Iron man, Hulk, Thor, Flash etc. In Bollywood we still fear to touch the taboos, deliver social message and deliver truth. Such movies hardly work here. e.g: Udaan, B.A pass, Dostana etc.
4) Bas ab aur nahi !: In Hollywood even the 7th movie of the series (Fast 7) keeps you as much engaged as the earlier movies, while in Bollywood sequels are more pathetic than the prequel. There is absolutely no grip, no story, no connect and the writers manage to come up with even worse script than before. E.g.: Mast, Grand masti, race-race 2, Housefull-Housefull 2, Don-Don 2
5) Jo dikhta hai wo nahi bikna chahie: In Hollywood they have intimate scenes but they don't need to stoop down just to grab eye balls. In Bollywood, a hot item number, skin show, intimate scenes ensure attention and earnings but its senseless. A pretty face cannot make up for lack of acting but who cares? We don't mind porn stars becoming actors but we do mind their straight face acting and erotic expressions every now and then! We don't need a badnaam munni or a jawan sheila, we can do with acting though.
6) Tu jaanta nahi mera baap kon hai: Hollywood has more professionalism and that is the reason why they have such good actors as against Bollywood good actors are underrated and influential actors gain the starlight.
7) Adaptations: By God's grace Hollywood is blessed with real writers to adapt their writings as movie while all that Bollywood has got is Chetan Bhagat! I mean is there any ban on Indian directors adopting works of foreign artists? If so i demand it to be lifted right now!
8) Nakal mein bhi akal nahi: Just one sentence: "Knight & day Vs. Bang Bang"
9) Its more about spice than story: Bollywood has been so much stereotyped that people who believe in real cinema now expects nothing but crap from Bollywood. And due to this when occasionally a good movie comes, it becomes the target of expectations. E.g.: Baby, Wednesday
10) Khincho!! Aur Khincho !!: Hollywood movies are brief and to the point and still manages to be logical, amusing and delivers promptly while in Bollywood we need a dream sequence, a totally useless dialog and pointless scenes to offer censor board to use their scissors ( If they really do).
