How Boycott Bollywood and COVID-19 Ended Up Helping Bollywood

We all know about the boycott Bollywood movement right? It mainly started after the demise of the fabulous actor Sushant Singh Rajput. The death opened up various secrets and the dark side of the industry, though we don't have any legitimate prove for any of the aspects. The situation was getting worse and it also made nepotism a topic of concern in the industry, many outsiders in the industry came up and shared how they struggled to get to where they are today and how opportunities are always spoon fed to the star kids. This situation was followed by COVID-19 and together it led to boycott Bollywood, a hashtag of the same used to trend on social media. 

the boycott bollywood let to a lot of film flopping in the box office, many prominent stars like Varun Dhawan, Akshay Kumar, Hrithik Roshan and more who used to majorly give hits started failing and even the South Indian movies remakes were flopping. This led the stars stop signing for remakes. Earlier, what they were doing was just remaking the South Indian films be hi Akshay's Holiday or Shahid's Kabir Singh. 

Because of boycott bollywood or COVID-19, whatever we take it as, the audience got a lot of time to watch the original South Indian films and they stopped watching the Bollywood remakes of them. So, we don't know what it was, the boycott movement, COVID or a mix of both that people started watching the originals and this made the Bollywood industry that they can't just keep making remakes to sustain. The actors started looking for new and fresh scripts. The audience for Hollywood or English films is also growing at a rapid rate in our country, earlier, this wasn't the case as they only watched Hindi films. This has put a lot of pressure on Bollywood to come up with new and original stories to retain their audience. 

South Indian films have also started making impact on the bollywood audience, in a way they are attracting the audience towards them with films like Pushpa, RRR, Bahubali. KGF 1 and 2. Now some og the South directors and actors have become bigger than the Bollywood stars. Prashant Neel's KGF 2 was a bigger hit than Pathaan in an all India level. All this calls for Bollywood to pull up their socks and retain the audience or else the other industries are soon going to take over.
