Why our actors (Bollywood) do not get respect offshores?
If we see Hollywood as an example then any small or great actor gets equal respect if he or she visits Macau, Hongkong, Singapore and any other place in the world. Most of the time actors like Julia Roberts, Will Smith, and many other such actors get all the respect not only in their own country but also abroad.
The same could be said about Mr. Jackie Chan who has put China at the mainframe cinema but if we compare the popularity of our Indian Actors it is something that could not be found easily offshore.
It could be not because the PR is weak i.e. the Public Relations of our actors are bad but the only fact is that our actors carry too much of their style and arrogance which is akin to their thoughts.
They keep a few swanky cars, bungalow in the posh locality but when it comes to the social behavior it is nothing more than a pan stained teeth person.
Such a class which has put them on the lowest pedestal has given them nothing and the Cinema which they portray just could not make them a personality. The meaningful Cinema which is a part of the various film industry all abroad could not be found in Bollywood.
Earlier, stars like Md. Naseeruddin Shah, Sri Amol Palekar, Miss Shabana Azmi and Md. Farooque Sheik including Miss Rekha carried the genre of meaningful cinema but soon it died as if the Cinematic approach got strangulated.
With Madhuri Dixit and Anil Kapoor along with Amir Khan, Govinda and various others bought a setback to the film industry from where it never recovered although the cash registers started ringing the respect could not fetch as compared to parallel cinema.
It was more or less like a B-Grade film such as Bazzigar, Darr which made Shah Rukh Khan what today he is but both in the first case was certainly not up to the mark and the second was about an over obsessive lover which could find a niche audience only with the small city people.
Shahanshah and many others which was a part of Amitabh Bachhan's legacy just went like a dud show and the popularity governed by Sri Sunil Dutt, Waheeda Rehman and many other such yesteryear actors just could not carry for a long time.
It could be said that these people mercilessly killed the Hindi Film Industry and today people believe in watching Actors like Ajay Devgan who portrayed himself to be a better actor but his Police Movies will not carry for a long more time as people just do not give importance to a Police Story. Police is here to maintain law and order which she does with aplomb but she is not the only protagonist in the country to remove crime but the involvement of Police in Crime removal is only after the crime gets committed and moreover, repetition in the movie style is always disliked by people.
Although, Ajay Devgan Sir has put himself above all other actors where his movies like Apaharan and Drishyam has given him a higher pedestal and the same could be said about Saif Ali Khan Sir who took to center stage after Hum-Tum and Aarakshan and hopefully both actors can bring more of accolades in the coming time to Indian Cinema!
