From Indias GDP economy, the Bollywood industry has suffered the greatest loss. In 2019, the year before COVID-19 hit India, 10 films were made originally in Hindi and earned a massive profit of more than 150 crore INR. In 2022, five of the ten movies released through August will be dubbed. Only four films have grossed more than 150 crores INR, and two of them are dubbed.The question now is, why has Hindi cinemas fortunes suddenly changed Few months have been difficult for Bollywood Film Industry. The film industry is struggling to regain its glory days, from falling into the potholes of boycott movie trends with every other movie to delivering box office flops.By the end of 2022, Bollywood will have recorded a profit in only three movies: The Kashmir Files, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, and Gangubai Kathiawadi.The movie Farewell is equipped with protean technicians and actors. Despite that, the Hindi film assiduity is lagging.What could be the major reason that people have given up on Bollywood picturesOne of the important reason is the lack of originality. Remakes are the tricky way of gaining profits from the original movies fan following.But the film offers no new plots. The storyline is already predictable. As a result, people do not see the value in spending twice on a storyline they are familiar with. While Kabir Singh was an exception, many films failed to thrive in the remaking race.Music is one of the factors that make people willing towards watching a movie. But Bollywood is deficient in this arena as well. Soulful, melodious tracks by Sonu Nigam and Alka Yagnik have been replaced by the autotuned songs of wannabe rappers and lyrics that do not mean anything at all.Samrat Prithviraj was one of the duds of 2022, and it was attributed to Akshay Kumars casting as the nominal character.The recently released movie could have done well if there were any other actors opposite Vijay Devarokonda in place of Ananya Pandey. Bollywood is always under fire for casting actors for pictures.During the COVID-19, OTT has surged significantly. The ultimate has offered people a cheaper and more comfortable way of watching pictures. Most people prefer to watch pictures in the comfort of their homes where they are more comfortable. This has lowered the charm of Bollywood movies as they do not get the same viewership compared to the times before the epedemic was introduced in India.How has Bollywood changed over timeA comparison of Bollywood movies that were released in 2019 and 2022 shows that all the top grossers in 2019 were produced by the Hindi film industry. But the trend significantly declined in 2022. KGF Chapter 2, which was shot by the Kannada industry RRR, which was released in the Telugu industry and the Hollywood movies made it to the list of the top 10 highest grossing movies, reducing the list of Hindi cinemas share to 50 percent. The stars have also lost their shine. After the duds of Akshay Kumar and Kangana Ranaut, it was believed that Laal Singh Chaddha would be able to revive the fortunes of the Bollywood assiduity.Despite having king Khan of Bollywood, the movie did not do well.On the other hand, pictures like Bhool Bhulaiyya and The Kashmir Files have made records at the box office despite not having any A-list stars.Among the list of high-grossing pictures of 2022, only six flicks have crossed the 100 crore INR mark. However, all the top-grossing pictures produced in 2019 earned more than 150 crore INR.The box office collections of Bollywood pictures are slow down and declining fast. Many actors have disclosed about the issue.
