No Money, No Lights, No Camera, No Action
INTRODUCTION
You are going out for a movie after a long week
of school/work. It is, of course, the new relaese which you have been looking
forward to watching. YES! Time to go!
Is the movie you are going to a Hollywood or
Bollywood movie?
HOLLYWOOD AND BOLLYWOOD
The two most famous movie industries, Hollywood
and Bollywood are similar in many ways. However, the there are some obvious
differences that make the two seem like day and night: language, showcasing, et
cetra.
You, the reader are probably aware of this.
However, you may not know the fact that
these industries are VERY competitive.
Nowadays, Hollywood is making its way upwards,
which spells T-R-O-U-B-L-E for Bollywood.
WHAT'S GOING ON?
May 2016; an exciting month, movie wise. HUGE
blockbusters such as 'Captain America: Civil War' came out.
Only TWO Bollywood movies were able to reach the
mark: 'Fan' and 'Airlift'.
Ever since May, Bollyywood's box office ratings
have dropped to levels never experienced before. In fact, some unfortunate
movies such as 'Veerappan' lasted in theatre for only a week.
Hollywood, on the other hand, BOMBARDED us with
good movies worth your weekend wallet.
This was he start of a huge conflict.
THE BOLLYWOOD SIDE
As mentioned before, bollywood's box office
earnings dropped o devastating levels.Most movies couln't last in theatre for
more than two weeks. Some movies even got bad responses:
"I would rate this movie 2.5/5 stars because
the only thingd I could actually see were love scenes and typical fight scenes,
nothing original."
-Times Of India, Review on Baaghi
"The movie failed to show how dangerous
Veerappan was."
-Times Of India, Review on Veerappan
Normally, box office earnings reach past 50 Crore,
and Shah Rukh Khan's movies normally reach past 80 Crore. However, these are
the earnings:
Fan=Rs.52.35 Crore
Airlift=Rs.44.30 Crore
Baaghi=Rs.52.35 Crore
Veerappan=Rs.22.67 Crore
That was enough of Bollywood drama. Let's see
what's Hollywood's next move.
THE HOLLYWOOD SIDE
Hollywood is just great.
If Bollywood thinks Hollywood is going to stop
throwing five good movies at once, theyr'e horribly wrong. Here are some of the
movies for this August:
·
Star Trek: Beyond
·
Nine Lives
·
Suicide Squad
·
Kubo and the Two Strings
·
Pete's Dragon
Hollywood has been so successful, the box office
ratings are crazy!
Captain America: Civil War= 1,151,365,896 dollars
The Jungle Book= 939,905,010 dollars
Finding Dory= 786,276,015 dollars
X-Men: Apocalypse= 1,151,365,896 dollars
Hollywood is considered to be loved by many. a
lot of peple coplain that Bollywood movies do not have novel stories. If you
like Bollywood, your'e one of a kind...
IF IT CONTINUES...
Right now, fandom is keeping Bollywood alive.
Otherwise, Bollywoodwould be gone.
Unfortuntely,
Bollywood will soon face threat. Money will be lost, resulting in no
movies, and newspaper companies will recieve alot of money
I conclude with a message for Bollywood: be
prepared
