Why are Indian Cinemas are hero centric and not story centric?

Question

Why cant movie makers concentrate on the Story and srcipt of a movie, rather than concentrating on the hero alone?

Answer 1

and so the majority of the movies. Movies are made in India to make money in the matinee shows. The matinee crowd does not care much about a story and the audience is basically a "hero centric" and so are the movies to meet their taste.

Answer 2

The story doesn't matter to Indians as long as the hero is a hot actor. I like a good story, andI don't really care about the actors.

Answer 3

Hi fnd,

Not only cinema, everything is done on peoples taste...

You see, Malayalam movies are mostly story based film they dont give much important to action,hero,...etc.

Then u come to telungu films, mostly action films, blood shed and very cruel action films they like..

All these films are taken because of different taste of peoples...

So, for example u take kamal hasan movies, anbe sivam, hey ram,.....many more all are pakka story based and different movies from normal and so all are flop....So only peoples dont like to take risk by takin nice story based movies..

Answer 4

I'M NOT SURE, BUT THOSE BOLLYWOOD MOVIES ARE GREAT- I WISH MORE OF THEM HAD SUBTITLES. LOVE THE COSTUMES AND MUSIC. I SAY THEY CAN GO ON CONCENTRATING ON THE HEROES.

Answer 5

Times are changing and so are our movies.

Answer 6

I dont agree, even some hollywood movies are like what u said...

Answer 7

If u wanna change watch Don , Dhoom, Dhoom2 Vivah -----------such a nice story.....

Answer 8
