Default Would Bollywood ever compete Hollywood?

I have seen that Bollywood always tries its best to compete Hollywood in every way it can and also tires its best to be respected at the same bar Hollywood is respected. Do you think that Bollywood would ever be really able to make up to that level because we are really backward as compared to Hollywood industry which have a lot of skilled workers who have to ability to create something new.

If bollywood need to reach the level of Hollywood, then they have com with good and valuable movies rather than the same old regular movies like angry young man, revenge, love, etc. They should try and think off those categories and make movies differently, at least to compete with hollywood.

There will be needed a lot of effort and money if Bollywood would really want to compete Hollywood but truthly I dont see it happening in the following decade

If you are looking in terms of money then you are wrong. Indian movie industry have a lot of money, a lot of money. It is only that they are not utilizing in the right way. They need to make original movies rather then copied ones.

I dont think that Bollywood would ever be able to compete Hollywood becuse hollywood have a huge amount money, the have some worlds bst actors and more over and the most important thing is that they have original stories which are very much interesting.

i don't think this is impossible and Bollywood can get to the standards of Hollywood too..the only thing which is needed in my view is more of good stories..and more over i find Bollywood better in many aspects than Hollywood..one of them is in its songs..we have a unique trend of having so many songs in our movies which is not seen in Hollywood

It would be really tought for bollywood to compete hollywood. I think it would take a lot of effort and also original stories to even walk on hollywood path as they always had original stories.

Bollywood is not that much backward and also not that much of a copycat as it is being said. Look at movies like Lagaan, DDLJ, Kal ho na ho etc they all re good and their are many more movies which are good and original.

Why not? Lagaan, RDB (Rang De Basanti), Kal ho na ho are a few movies which are good to compete Hollywood movies. The thing is, hollywood movies are highly expensive than bolly movies.
