Major Changes of Indian Cinema in the recent times

I hold an opinion that in every era of Bollywood , there were good cinema and bad cinema. That holds true for this era also. Technology makes thing easier. The stories are more realistic. But what I find really interesting is some of the story writers who come out of the box and think of a character who is so true, so real and breaks all the hypocrisy and stereotypes. Vicky Donor and the female protagonists of Queen and Piku fit into that picture of being so real and untouched by stereotyping.

Some of the major changes that can be found in Indian Cinema are its big budget movies, more VFX filled movies coming to the fore to bring the Indian Cinema to the world stage.

Also small movies are running their own businesses with unique storyline & compelling narration.

Also if we notice more & more biographies, Army, fictional movies & socially relevant movies are coming to the fore. Ex:- Baahubali, Toilet: Ek Prem Katha, Padman, Holiday, Baby, etc

It seems like there is a certain trend of Biopics and experimental movies which are running well, apart from the regular masala flick.

Cinema is meant to entertain the individual mainly. Those realistic movies of yesteryear are no more the choice of present audience and youngsters. In tune with the change in scenario, Movie producers and movie  goers run for those entertaing movies. Who will see a Do Ankhen Baarah Hath or an Ankur now. Movie making is after all a business. No movie Maker will produce a Movie for empty Cinema Halls.

The  most notable change that the Indian cinema has undergone in the recent decades is the markedly diminished shades of negative and positive traits from the lead actors. Earlier cinema featured heroes and heroines with purely positive traits, with a few exceptions, but the lead actors were all do-gooders who could do no wrong and the villains were the epitome of negativity. Now, the cinemas are more realistic with lead actors and actresses displaying even the grey shades in addition to good. The villains display a softer side in addition to being bad etc. Same goes for heroines too, who are more real-life women than just a symbol of femininity, goodness, purity etc. who keeps sacrificing self interests for the sake of others.

As u rightly said the movies made today are technically very sound... the makeup and acting are pretty cool too. But what i miss is the scripts.. i guess the number of good scripts have gone down. When i say this i mean movies which have no script to boast off yet they are huge success with more than 100 crore business. Some movie like bajrangi bhaijaan, queen etc are really good. 

Also i feel the masala content is more these days and yes very rarely can we sit with family and see a movie.

The pace of change has been much faster in the past two decades, because of  globalization and other factors which has made sure that the cultural differences diminish..but at the same time quality of content has suffered ..
