5 Reasons why General Public is no more interested in Bollywood Awards like Filmfare
Filmfare Awards are one of the most prestigious awards in the Indian film industry. The 2023 edition of the awards was a grand affair with many well-known personalities in attendance. The Sanjay Leela Bhansali directed film "Gangubai Kathiwadi" won several awards, adding to the director's already impressive collection of accolades.
The event was hosted by the mega star Salman Khan, who is known for his charm and wit. Many actors, including Janhvi Kapoor, Vicky Kaushal, and Govinda, gave memorable performances that won over the hearts of the audience.
Despite the excitement surrounding the Filmfare Awards, there is a growing concern that the general public is losing interest in them. There are several factors contributing to this decline in interest. Here are five possible reasons why Bollywood award shows are losing their interest in the public eye.
Nepotism and Favoritism
One of the primary reasons why Bollywood award shows are losing their popularity is the perceived nepotism and favoritism. Many viewers feel that these shows are biased towards star kids and established actors, which makes the nominations and winners seem predictable and uninspiring. This lack of diversity in the nominations and winners can lead to a lack of excitement and anticipation among viewers.
Lack of Diversity
Another reason why Bollywood award shows may be losing interest is due to a lack of diversity in nominees and winners. Similar to Hollywood, many people feel that the same types of actors and films are recognized year after year, leading to a lack of excitement and anticipation. This lack of recognition for films and actors from different regions and genres of cinema can result in a lack of interest among the audience.
Low Credibility
Some viewers may perceive Bollywood awards shows as lacking credibility and integrity due to rumors of vote-rigging and other forms of manipulation. This can lead to a lack of trust in the awards and a decrease in interest among the public. The credibility of these shows has been questioned several times in the past, and until the transparency in the nomination and voting process is ensured, the trust of the public may not be regained.
Monotonous and Over-the-Top Performances
Many Bollywood award shows are known for their lengthy and sometimes over-the-topperformances, which can become monotonous and boring for viewers. These shows are also known for their scripted comedy, which can seem forced and uninteresting to viewers. The lack of fresh and innovative performances can lead to a lack of excitement and anticipation among viewers.
Changes in Media Consumption
Finally, changes in how people consume media may also be contributing to a decline in interest in Bollywood award shows. With the rise of social media and other online platforms, some people may simply be more interested in other types of content and less interested in traditional award shows. This can lead to a decrease in viewership and overall interest in the event.
The declining interest in Bollywood award shows can be attributed to several factors such as nepotism, lack of diversity, low credibility, monotonous performances, and changes in media consumption. While some of these factors may be beyond the control of the organizers, they must take steps to ensure that the nominations and voting process is transparent and inclusive. By doing so, they can regain the trust and interest of the public and make these shows exciting and entertaining once again.
