When Bollywood comes around by Nitin Sawant
Nitin Sawant · 12/02/2024 - Bollywood is slowly moving away from its traditional leftist narratives to embrace nationalistic themes, causing discomfort among established filmmakers, actors, and critics.
- The industry’s shift is highlighted by the success of films like ‘Swantatrya Veer Savarkar,’ which receive acclaim for their portrayal of patriotic figures and events, diverging from the previous focus on leftist and secular themes.
- Critics and filmmakers who previously dominated the industry’s narrative, promoting leftist ideologies, now find themselves sidelined.
- This new direction in Bollywood is also seen as aligning with the nationalistic policies of India’s current government, leading to accusations of bias and propaganda from the industry’s old guard and certain sections of the media.
- Despite the controversy, this evolution in Bollywood reflects a broader shift in Indian society and politics, with increasing demand for content that celebrates India’s heritage, achievements, and patriotic sentiments.
