It is often said that Bollywood plots are simple: boy meets girl, villain keeps boy and girl apart, boy and girl overcome evil villain and live happily ever after. And at the drop of a hat (sometimes literally) they dance.
So maybe
it's time to move away from these old formulas and have some new stories to
tell. Maybe inject a new realism to the stories and have them adapted for our modern times.
