Hollywood Vs Bollywood Movies: Film lovers know very well that comparisons between Hollywood and Bollywood have been going on for many years. On one hand, many people like the songs, emotions and family drama of Bollywood, while many people are fans of the action, story and tremendous technology of Hollywood films. But if we compare the two film industries, there are many reasons why Hollywood is considered the largest film industry in the world today. This does not mean at all that Bollywood does not make great films. Films like ‘Dangal’, Baahubali, ‘3 Idiots’ and RRR have brought glory to India across the world. However, there are many facts which give Hollywood films a different identity. Let us know here why Hollywood films are considered ahead of Bollywood in many respects.
1. A lot of money is spent on Hollywood films
The biggest difference between Bollywood and Hollywood films is the expenditure i.e. budget. Big Hollywood films are made costing thousands of crores of rupees. At the same time, the budget of Bollywood films is much smaller in comparison. The direct benefit of spending more budget on any film is that better cameras, magnificent sets, big locations, good artists and new technology of the world can be used in the film. You can get an idea of this by watching films like ‘Avatar’, ‘Avengers’ and ‘Mission Impossible’. Because of the big budget, every scene looks more real and grand.
2. VFX and technology are not the answer
In today’s time, VFX has become very important for any big film. Scenes like superheroes, aliens, big explosions, space or dinosaurs cannot be created without VFX. Many Hollywood companies have been engaged in only this work for the last several years. They have experience and new technology is also available. Therefore, every scene seen on the screen seems real. Bollywood has made a lot of progress in VFX and modern technology, but still VFX in many films does not look as good as it does in Hollywood.
3. Hard work is done on the story of the film
Before starting the shooting of any film in Hollywood, its story is worked on in detail. For this, many writers think about the story and then write it. Every scene is read again and again and changes are made in it so that there is no flaw in the story. Whereas in Bollywood, many times the story and dialogues keep changing even after the shooting starts. However, this method works for some films but in many cases it also weakens the story. The best story of a film is its real life and this is what is given maximum attention in the Hollywood industry.
4. Importance is given to the character and not the star.
You must have noticed that tickets for Bollywood films are often sold in the name of the star. Many times people pay more attention to the story of the film, how the hero will look and how powerful his entry will be. On the other hand, this is rarely seen in Hollywood films. The actors there change themselves according to the character of the film. If needed, we increase or decrease weight or train for months. His entire focus is on making his character feel real to the audience. This is the reason why many actors there look completely different in every film.
5. All types of films are made in Hollywood
Only action or superhero films are not made in Hollywood. A large number of films based on science, space, history, war, sports, horror, comedy, thriller, biopic and real incidents are made there. In such a situation, people get to see something new and special every year. This is the reason why the producers there do not shy away from investing money on new ideas. This is rarely seen in Bollywood. But now there is a change, here too films are being made on different issues but here for a long time there has been more focus on films based on romance, action and family drama. In such a situation, many times people find the story similar.
6. The film is made keeping everyone in mind
Hollywood films are not made only for the people of our country. From the very beginning, the makers kept in mind that their film would be seen in India, Japan, China, Europe, Australia and other countries. Therefore, the story is kept in such a way that any person in the world feels connected. This is the reason why a Hollywood film is released in many countries in many languages and earns money all over the world. On the other hand, many Bollywood films are based on Indian style, family and culture. Indian audience likes such films but foreigners are not able to completely connect with it.
7. The pace of the film does not break
Bollywood films are identified by songs. Many songs are still present on people’s lips. But sometimes it happens that a song suddenly comes in the middle of the story and the pace of the film slows down. This is rarely seen in Hollywood. This does not happen in Hollywood films, background music is used in them, due to which the film keeps moving forward. This is the reason why people remain connected to the stories of Hollywood films and their attention does not get distracted.
8. Artists have different ways of working
Making films in Hollywood is like a big company. Everyone’s work is already decided. When will the shooting take place, how much time will it take, who will do what, everything is decided in advance. There are rules for everyone from the artists to the technical team. Shooting starts on time and also ends on time. There has been a lot of change in Bollywood too, but sometimes last minute changes, delays in shooting or other problems are seen. This affects the film also.
9. Producers are not afraid to invest money in new ideas
The biggest strength of Hollywood is that every year films are made on new types of stories. If a writer has a different idea and the studio or producer has confidence in it, then they do not shy away from spending crores of rupees on it. Original films are also made in Bollywood, but for a long time there has been more focus on remakes and old formulas. Many films were also accused of copying. However, this is less common now and new directors and writers are coming up with different story ideas. Still, Hollywood is still considered far ahead in this matter.
10. The method of distribution is different
Making a good film is not enough for anyone. After making a film, it is important to take it to as many people as possible. Hollywood is strong in this work also. In Hollywood, marketing of any film starts several months in advance. A huge amount of money is spent on trailers, posters, interviews, social media, fan events and promotions. Then the film is released on thousands of screens in many countries of the world on the same day. Before this she earns a lot in the first week. This money is invested in making the upcoming films better.
