We go to a theatre to watch movies.  In today's world the primary reason to go out to a theatre during the weekend to watch a movie is to relieve our boredom or  to get rid of the stress accumulated at our homes and workplaces during the week. Once we enter the theatre, this is what a routine movie offers.

Mindless Violence and Torture.:- The viewer has to go to through frames of mindless violence wherein the characters are on a killing spree chopping of heads or blasting bombs which usually happens all over the world. If that is not enough, there is lot of weeping and crying. That is enough to create headaches for anybody.  Many people tolerate the torture, considering they have paid lot of money for the tickets, conveyance to get there and also money for snacks.  People who cannot bear it any further take a brave decision and come out foregoing the money spent.

Politics:- One favorite topic for filmmakers is politics.  When we see enough of politics in front of our eyes through television channels, Internet and newspapers, what is the necessity to extend it further through a theatre.  One of the reason why we get into a theatre to watch a movie is to get rid of these routine politics.  Yet me make a fools of ourselves by paying to watch politics when we were watching in our homes for free.

Tragic End:- If there is a decent story, say for example a love story to give the viewers some respite  from mindless violence, then there is a tragic end to the movie in the form of death of lovers on account of factional feuds. One thing film makers should understand that when there are enough tragedies all over the world  in today's world to which a person is witness to, then why to extend that further through a movie.

Art Films:- Usually a common man lacks the intelligence to understand such movies.  These movies are branded to be realistic but when it comes to entertainment value, it is zero

Suggestions for entertaining movies.

The basic idea to keep a viewer interested is to offer entertainment.  Comedy movies are very welcome in this regard .  Suspense thrillers too keep the viewers engrossed.  Infact Comedies and suspense thrillers not only keep the viewers engaged for 3 hours, it also makes the viewer to relive those moments with his family, friends and colleagues.  A movie need not necessary be realistic, even unrealistic ones will do provided it gives 3 hours of entertainment which is what the paying people want.
