I agree 95% with you about the quality of bollywood movies (5% disagreement because of some good movies that do not get the publicity they deserve). in spite of all the copying and mindless commercialism our movies
are progressing. Indian film industry is just not bollywood btw.
everyone, me included, had written off WB film industry by 90's. they have turned around and surprised a lot of naysayers.
my point in mentioning the kolkata film industry is precisely this, if a film industry with similar linguistic bankground and a far higher exposure to bollywood can make it, so can dhallywood.
have some more confidence in your own film industry in stead of being defensive about it. they might end up surprising you.
