Bollywood Battles Oscars

Source:Google
Have you ever wondered why Bollywood’s never won an Oscar movie award? In spite of the grandeur of direction from Karan Johar, script selection from Anurg Kashyap, investments like Yash Chopra and actors like Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Naseeruddin Shah; still no win at Oscas? Not now then when?

The issue seems to be the stereo typicality of not distributing the reins of power to an actor from the director,simply. In Bollywood, more often than not, the sociability and mass popularity matters more. Whether it is in terms of influences to inspire movies, opening up to various lifestyles that exist in our society and making movies on those, in terms of casting- which is a major reason why movies lag behind their fullest potential.

6 reasons why Bollywood is unable to win the Oscars:-
  • Bollywood stars monopoly:Here the story is changed but the actor won’t be because he is apparently the most popular out there who can get the producer to recover his finances.

  • Money at the cost of Quality:Movie making is become more of a money making business.

  • Lack of due recognition and credit: Directors have little say and script writers- never mind.But even then once in a while, a good script comes  by. Make that a routine, won't you?

  • Immature and Outdated Critics: Good movies are never nominated because of the critics’ bias

  • Big bad Bollywood egos:Good movies don’t get the required investments to amplify their product to a level of the grandeur it deserves but it's quite the vice-versa here.

  • Underdogs Non-Uprising: Lack of quality roles for seasoned actors because the industry is like a high school with groups and social promises that come in the way of our winning an Oscar all the way.

  • Customized an Tailored for you, perhaps too:Actresses match the actor's liking rather than the directors selection

Whoever says that an Oscar is not so important after all for Bollywood, should revisit modern Indian contemporary literature, stories about real love, stories of the mind, people ahead of their time; fiction is also not given its due credit due to lack of creative support.

Movie makers must be passionate about the art of storytelling than the art of story making,with a good eye. It’s when we as a society are ready to talk about prevalent issues in society instead of slapstick comedies or humorous art films, then a good movie at the Oscars is quite easy to win

The idea is to make movies that resonate with the world, instead of only the target audience.Because good movies aren't 100 crore clubs but winning awards at an Academy battle because there you compete with the real competition, where movie makers from every industry put their best foot forward, win awards ; And that’s how you say “Selfie at an Oscar!”
