Critics may have snubbed B'wod movies for their over the top acting and exaggerated storylines.But they cannot deny the fact that it is the most successful medium of cinema in the world, as far as viewership and popularity ratings go.
Even the United Nations Development council has gone on to say that since Indian films have over-the-top acting and narration,they have easily overcome the barriers of language. What is even more surprising is their popularity in Africa and Arab nations, people in Senegal and Morocco can enjoy hindi movies without knowing the language and without the help of subtitles. Everything is so telgraphic and reaches out to the people easily.
People also seem to love bollywood since it creates an alternative reality. Most people in UK, US and Asia would agree that for them, the storyline and song and dance routine is more like a "three hour escape ". With an outreach such as this, b'wood can soon bid for having its own version of Oscar Awards.
