In the last few years, we have witnessed major shifts in the types of cinemas that have come out in Bollywood. With such a wide segment of digital platforms available, people get to access contents anywhere across the globe. This implies that the game needs to be increased when it is about the quality of the content. In that respect, the names in the list of box office hits have also been altered.
The greatest advantage that arrives from this is it allows directors, producers, and actors to dive in and take more risks in their films to deliver an alternative, realistic plot which is diverse from commercial masala films. Today, we have decided to list the top 20 highest box office hits of all time.
Evolution Of Indian Cinema
Cinema which is otherwise known as films or motion pictures brings entertainment and joy to its viewers. We Indians have made cinema an important part of our lives. It is not only the millennial kids that find cinema fascinating, but the tradition of cinephiles has been present since its very inception. Films in itself have gone through evolution. Cinema with no colors have now become cinema with vibrant colors, cinema with multiple reels have now changed to a single reel, from zero graphic to animation.
But other than that, there has been a great evolution of the audience viewing the cinema. Audiences in the 70s, 80s, and even 90s were very restricted. Only commercial masala films attracted them. Filmmakers of parallel cinema like Satyajit Ray, Ador Gopalkrishnan, Ritwik Ghatak even though made highly acclaimed cinemas, but their viewer base was not formed at that time. Actors back them feared to take different roles that could change their image. Producers did not want to take risks into not so commercially acclaimed films.
