Latest Trend in Bollywood

On a friday morning the first thing that I see in the newspaper are the new Bollywood flicks. So talking about Bollywood I got to think of some of the latest trends in Bollywood. Beginning with the names it has been increasingly a mix of Hindi and English that is hinglish - break k baad, love aaj kal, dunno y na jane kyu and a much more of english names rather than Hindi- crook, knock out, we are a family, action replay etc. Along with the mix & match names we also find an item number in almost every movie- munni badnaam (dabbang), shiela ki jawani (tees mar kha), tere ishq se meetha (aakrosh) for instance. These songs are not only there to spice up the movie but have become increasingly popular found buzzing in marriages, parties, dance shows and further on. The stories have become short and more urbanized. So we find that Bollywood is moving ahead and is definitely witnessing a drastic change from the 70s, 80s & 90s. Now it is there to see whether these trends get acceptance from the audience or would the Bollywood have to move back to the 'golden era' or discover something newer though.
