What makes a good Bollywood movie? (Discussion)

After watching sixty-two Indian movies I came to the conclusion that to make it to my “Favourite List” the following criteria should be met, whereby I consider the first two points as the most important ones:

  • Does it TOUCH ME (to the extent that it makes me cry)?
  • Did I learn any lessons from it? Does it convey a message?
  • Does it make me laugh?
  • Are there good actors/actresses featured?
  • Does it raise a contemporary topic?
  • Does it include good songs?
  • Is the story good from start to finish?
  • Is it a pure Indian movie (without involving foreign actors and does it reflect some cultural aspects)?
  • Would I watch it over and over again? I realised that a great movie doesn’t need special effects, a big budget, foreign sites, top actors or designer clothes. For me a movie which offers all of this could still be considered as poor in the end if there is no emotion, no message conveyed and therefore no lesson learnt from it.

    earlier….a good movie was which makes you feel, with great actors of times but now as times are changing, bollywood has expanded itself from commercial films to documentaries and non commercial ones…. now, the script has to be good or the critics screw you up….the budget is also not a problem if the audience targeted is correct and leaves its impact…..
