Bollywood is, without a doubt, the greatest form of entertainment. It should not be seen as anything but art, of the highest form. Every plotline is original, every actor is skillfully crafting art. What are your reasons for Bollywood being better than anime?

Bollywood is the best when I don't see it, I like every moment when I don't watch bollywood.

Clearly, you're tryna take a dig at Bollywood with the satire but I can't say I get it.

Anyways yeah 99% of the shit that Bollywood churns out is boring af

Nah, it's not. For live action, other than those Hollywood movies, I like chinese, japanese, and korean drammas way more than Bollywood shows. Too much dancing and bad cgi/effects, and barely any substance for a show 5x as long as your average live action from other countries. But 3 Idiots is quite entertaining, I'll give you that, and only that.

Bollywood? Huh what’s that? It looks like marketed Indian tubi trash .Comparing anime to Bollywood is like comparing a multi billion dollar animation industry to low budget trash, go somewhere else with that . It stinks !

What are you even talking about? I can't even think of one single Bollywood title that I have watched in the last decade, let alone can't even name a dozen of them off the top of my head.

Maybe you should start up a MyBollywoodlist site if you think it's better than Anime.

No, because its made in India, which are historically terrible at marketing, distributing, and business practices with their media industry. Plus some of their sensibilities and tropes just do not make sense to western audiences, so they fail at the appeal factor.

I mean, there are quite a few bollywood films I like. 3 idiots happens to be my favourite movie ever, but when comparing it with all the modern anime that's coming out and how bollywood is doing at the moment, I'd say anime is better. Most of the newer bollywood films just aren't doing it for me, while there are still a lot of new animes that still manage to hook me

well sure you could call Bollywood 'art' , but calling it's plotline 'original' is not true lol. Majority of Bollywood is a copy of Hollywood or the sort xD

Noooo, it's definitely the amount of transitions and camera shots for a shocking scene...Anime could never!

To tell you the truth, judging by the few movies I watched that was made by Bollywood, there is not much difference between the quality of them and those that were made by Hollywood (the same trash coming from different countries). They both make products that aim to please the broad masses, the differences come only from the culture they are based on. Anime is more pleasing to my senses (even if it is a "mass product" as well), but if I want to watch movies I would rather watch european or east-asian films than american or indian.

I don't watch Bollywood, I've seen some clips of mocking it and some clips that look like Bollywood is mocking itself

I don't think Hollywood is much better in a lot of the cases

I prefer anime either way

I guess you have never watched "Agent Aika" or "Najica Blitz Tactics" before. Almost every other camera shot is a shocking scene that one would never seen done in any live action films, Bollywood or not. lol

Hell no, as a person from India who has seen fair share of Bollywood movies, the happiness or Immersive you get from anime is not got in Bollywood but there are quite a good number of movies too which delivers a different kind of experience which we won't be getting in anime, so in short different media, different audience no superiority or inferiority does good to their own target audience and sources (except Tokyo Ghoul...im still angry bout that >_<)

it saddens me to see how much the bait quality has dropped these days. in my time the baits used to be good enough that people unknowingly even fell for it.

"Why is Bollywood better than modern Anime?"

Is it?

Let me see:
- Horrible archetypes and characters.
- Horrible dialogues.
- Horrible plots.
- Horrible jokes.
- Horrible over the top melodrama.
- Horrible music and dancing.

Anime has edge over it tho - ecchi and degen stuff.

I would say something about the topic but I’ve only ever seen Slumdog Millionaire which I’m pretty sure doesn’t count. Anyone have some Bollywood film recommendations for someone who never watches them?

Because India is peak country, they shit on the streets at the same time they send things to the moon and will be the first country to send people to Mars.

The culture just follows the country's greatness.
If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time.

Watch more movies, please.

@cyandaqil 3 Idiots, Like Stars on Earth and maybe Dangal, but these are exceptional rather than representational.
