Do you think Indian cinema is changing and changing for the better?

Yaa its good for Indian cinema.People r also boring of seeing again again same type of cinema.So it will help Indian cinema.

I have to admit to being a great fan of Bollywood films and I try to turn a blind eye to the increasing number of plots that have been lifted straight from Hollywood films or films from other countries. I watched and enjoyed Zinda not long ago with the lovely Sanju playing a bit of an anti-hero and found the story to be really different and thought it was unique, only to find out later that the story had been lifted from a Korean film called Old Boy or Old Guy with just so many similarities that it was like daylight robbery. Pretty much all the Bollywood films I've seen that I thought had really good storylines seem to have lifted stories from films from other countries. Don't get me wrong, they are using interesting concepts but it would be so lovely if I knew more of these films had original storylines. Even Yakeen I watched some time ago, on its own - an excellent film and story BUT I remember the story very clearly copied from a Hollywood film of the early 80s! Bar changing the endings somewhat copying is very common. The next best thing seems to be making remakes of older films - Don was remade (although the story brought much more up to date and the ending changed somewhat), they're doing Sholay too as far as I'm aware. On top of that there are several films which are being released as sequels such as Krish, Dhoom 2, Lage Raho Munnabhai - which I have to admit are actually pretty good. In Hollywood films sequels tend to get slated a lot but our Bollywood seems to be doing a pretty good job with sequels.

All in all it's much better than siblings being separated at childhood, parents being split up and the siblings finding each other many years later when they've grown up and getting the parents back together and dealing with the bad guys who split them all up in the first place... I don't need to see anymore of those films LOL!

Yeh its changing. Bold topics like Kabhi alvida nad nishab are beeing handle on screen. Sequel trend is taking its form day by day like phir hera pheri, dhoom2, and Krish. Remake of old movies like Don, Devdas in new way and style.

If we study the current trend in Bollywood cinema,its quite clear that they are changing and movies are made with innovative ideas.I have seen recently RANG DE BASANTI,MUNNA BHAI,desi version of Othelo i.e. OMKARA and the list is enough.I was very impressed with the ideas that new generations of directors have to show the world.Now the indian movies are also getting the international platform.

Yeah Indias movies Standard is changing day by day

i think u are right.
indian directers are making good movie,
and that day is not far where we can compare our movie with hpllywood movies.

Yes, its changing, but at very slow speed and with fearfulness in mind. The real change will only appear after 5-6 years, when we stop imitating other and start making films on original stories and character.
