Bollywood becoming dead

It might not be true. But going by the recent happenings, it definitely seems true. No major Bollywood releases, no major news. It seems to be very cold out there in the tinsel town … because everyone wants to cash in the moolah. Leave aside the franchise owners, SRK and Preity-they have the genuine right to promote their team, but what about the others? They too in one way or the other have got associated with the monster, IPL.

Shahrukh Knight Riders
Preity Punjab Kings
Hrithik Mumbai Indians
Akshay Delhi Daredevils

It was really incongruous to see Akshay Kumar commentating on the Delhi v Jaipur game, with the regular commentator, Tony Cozier not sure what to ask from him. Hrithik Roshan is doing promotional ads for Mumbai team. SRK brings in his whole coterie of chums to watch and cheer his team. Then who the damn is making films. Aamir Khan ? Hhh, he does far too few films to get distracted. I am craving for a good Bollywood movie to come out, so that I can devote my hard-found precious time now-a-days to something refreshing.

PS- A knee-jerk reaction to my frustration of not having any good Hindi movie to watch right now. My Internet connection too has become very slow in the last few days, sob, sob :(
