Pabulum

I am not a fan of Bollywood movies, for most of those don’t sell good stories, they just brand actors. That is probably the reason why production houses spend so much on promotions. There is nothing wrong in that.  A majority of Indian movie watchers don’t step into the cinema halls to fry their brains on some twisted storyline, its more often a hangout, an escape from the already tensed everyday life. This a reason why generations after generations fall for fairy tales, everyone feels out of the world for some moments.
