From actors’ fees to curbing factionalism and nepotism, these 25 changes will make Bollywood a blockbuster.

Resolutions have a special importance on New Year. Everyone resolves to leave their old shortcomings and add new qualities for a better tomorrow in the New Year. That is why, we learned from the artists, filmmakers and experts of the film industry what changes should happen in the world of Hindi cinema in 2025, so that Bollywood becomes a great and blockbuster industry. Read:

1- Make cinema, not project

Since the interference of studios in Bollywood, the method of film making has changed. Now, not films but projects are made here. Whether the story has any substance or not, crack a working formula, get a famous face and make a film. Many makers insist on changing the project making thinking of the MBA managers sitting in the studio.

Take 2-screen test, give everyone a chance

For the betterment of the industry, many actors demand equal opportunity for all. Many actors say that right now there are no screen tests for the lead cast. They are decided in advance, which are usually only a few names. Whereas for these roles also all the interested actors should get a chance to give screen test.

3- Stop considering the star as God

The idea of ​​considering the star as God is also making the industry hollow. Presently the situation is such that if there is no star or big name in the film then the budget is not available. Therefore, instead of appreciating capable people, the makers keep running after stars. Due to this, talented people do not get work, and due to lack of access to stars, new writers-makers have to grind their heels to make films. Therefore, one should give up the idea of ​​worshiping stars.

4-Truly consider content as king.

Content is king, this is said a lot in the industry, but only a few makers believe in it. Everyone else thinks the star is the king. Whereas, now the audience has become so mature that the magic of the star alone cannot draw it to the theatre. For this, the industry should really start considering its content as king and emphasize on good content.

5-More emphasis on writers

From megastar Amitabh Bachchan to Saif Ali Khan, writers are considered the foundation of the film, but still neither the writers get that respect nor honorarium. Some banners have definitely created things like writers clubs, but overall they do not have the same respect. Every well-wisher of the industry says that Bollywood makers should invest in their writers. They should be strengthened.

6-Nepotism no more

Nepotism is also a weak link in the industry, due to which true talents do not get a chance. Whereas, if we look at the initial period, it was not so. Amitabh Bachchan, Dharmendra, Jitendra, Shahrukh Khan, all these stars came from outside. At the same time, now the number of children of stars is increasing, whether they know acting or not. The industry should also change this thinking and casting should be done on the basis of merit.

7-Balance is necessary regarding the budget

From the point of view of film business, experts also consider control over its budget important. These days everyone wants to make mega budget films, but when the film itself is made for Rs 200-300 crores then recovering this cost also becomes a challenge. Therefore, barring some big films, balance in the budget is necessary.

8-Restriction on fees of actors

A major reason for the increase in the budget of films is the huge fees of the stars. From Karan Johar to Anurag Kashyap, they have expressed concern over the fact that a large part of the film budget goes into the fees of the stars, due to which they have to compromise on other things in the film. It should not happen. More emphasis should be on the quality of the film.

9-Don’t walk like sheep

Many people also consider the negative aspect of the sheepish thinking in the industry that if small town films are being made then everyone is making films on small towns. If action starts, everyone will start making action films. If horror comedy works, we will squeeze it completely. If a film of a certain star is released, then everyone will run after it. This sheepishness must stop.

10-Show courage to take risks

The year 2024 was full of disappointment for cinema people, most of the films did not work, hence the makers have started shying away from taking risks. Whereas, experts believe that now the makers should show courage to take some risk and do some new experiments.

11-Return to your roots

Industry people also feel that the new generation makers have forgotten their old roots, their originality and strength. he/she avoids dance and songs, which were the hallmark of Bollywood films. Everyone wants to make western style elite cinema, they are busy imitating it. Because of this, South films are making a splash. Therefore, Bollywood should return to its roots in the new year.

12- Consider the film bigger than the star

There is a hierarchy in the industry that everything is decided keeping the star or actor at the center. Producers also just dance around the actor. The schedule etc. is also decided according to them, whereas thousands of people work in the film. Everyone should get equal respect. The biggest focus should be on the film or show, not on the star.

13- Working hours should be fixed

After the Covid pandemic, health has become most important for every common man. In such a situation, the work culture of 12-hour shift should be changed for the mental and physical health of the industry people. Like the rest of the industries, there should be an eight-hour shift here too. Overtime should be given for working more than that.

14-Support to elderly artists

The elderly and senior artists, who are unemployed, should also be thought of and some arrangement should be made to provide them financial help. There should be discussion on that.

15-Have medical-health insurance

Many times there are reports of technicians losing their lives on the set. There should be better safety arrangements for people who are always in danger to their lives, like stuntmen and lightmen. Compensation for their families, medical and health insurance should be provided for all.

16- Don’t kill credits and royalties

In the industry, talks about stealing credit and royalty from others also keep coming up, which is wrong in every way. This trend should also be avoided in the new year and everyone should get their rightful royalty and credit.

17- Discrimination between hero and heroine should end

For the betterment of the industry, the discrimination between hero and heroine should also end. Many actresses have raised the issue that they do not get equal attention as the hero of the film. Secondly, in the 25th year of the century, women should be shown on screen in a progressive manner instead of objectifying them.

18- Increase in the number of theaters

According to industry experts, there is a great need to increase the number of theaters in the Hindi belt. Here, when two-three big films are released together, the number of screens remains very less, due to which the industry suffers losses. Less number of theaters in the North compared to the South is also a major reason for the decline in box office business, in which improvement should be expected.

19-Support each other

In South cinema, big stars are often seen supporting each other’s films. See each other at events. This trend in Bollywood is not seen in the generation after Khan stars. Whereas, young artists should also support each other’s films, which will strengthen the entire industry.

20- Call groupism Tata

Groupism is also seen a lot in Bollywood. Here there is a clan or group of some maker-actors, who work with people from their own circle. The path for its new talent becomes difficult. Whereas, for the betterment of the industry, one should be open minded about new writers, makers and actors.

21-Look at talent, not followers

In the era of social media, the trend of giving importance to social media influencers instead of actors has also started in the film industry. The makers think that their followers will make the film a hit, whereas it is just an illusion. Only the actor’s acting works on screen. Therefore, talent should be appreciated, not followers.

22- Promote original stories

These days, filmmakers have found an easy way to make films in the form of remakes and sequels. Take remakes of hit films from South to Hollywood and make them in Hindi, how long will such copied content last? Makers should promote original stories, so that the audience gets to see something new.

23- Platform for indie, short films, documentaries

Cinema is cinema in every form, therefore instead of giving priority only to feature films, the medium of development and dissemination of indie, short or documentary films should also be increased. The platforms for showing them should also increase, so that award winning films like All We Imagine as Light can reach more audiences.

24- Basic facilities for women on the set

Be it a film shooting location or a studio, the women working there often have to struggle for basic needs like changing and toilet. There is a provision of vanity van for big artists, but junior artists, make-up, hair assistants etc. struggle with these problems. There should be positive change in this direction also.

25- The shadow of casting couch should go away

In the entertainment world, the year 2024 will also be remembered for the Justice Hema Committee Report and the black stain of casting couch in the Malayalam film industry. Such stories have been common in Bollywood too, it should be hoped that in the new year there will be no such stains on Bollywood.
