Bollywood Continues Investing in Biopics and Sports Dramas Amid Changing Audience Preferences
Despite recent box office setbacks for biopics and sports dramas like 83 and Maidaan, Bollywood continues to invest in these genres with upcoming films such as Dada and Lalkaar. Filmmakers aim to refresh the formula by emphasizing storytelling, spectacle, and emotional connection rather than relying solely on star power. Industry voices like Nikkhil Advani highlight changing audience preferences, valuing authentic connection over established celebrity status, reflecting evolving consumption patterns in Indian cinema.
