Storytelling in Pop Culture 🎤 Typical Bollywood Style
La la la la la la la la
Storytelling in Bollywood has been nothing short of emotions and capturing hearts
From DDLJ in 1995 to Rocky or Rani ki Prem Kahani in 2023, themes in Bollywood have been quite similar :
Melodrama, a strict dad and a hopeless romantic male lead
We have all seen these movies🦋
Bollywood has overused this story plot🎬
Young handsome man sees beautiful girl,
Then,
Dil me ghanti bajti hai
Dheemi hawa chalti hai
Shareer me ek bijli si mehsoos hoti hai
And sab gulabi hojata hai
But twist hai ki, one of their dads is against it, both fight for their love and then achieve the ultimate happy ending
But why is this plot running since the beginning of time and why will it be used till the end of time??
Why does this plot stand the test of time?
Let's understand 🎬🦋
1. Cultural Influence, there is alot of stigma around love marriages in India. This type of plot seems relatable and rebellious at the same time hence appeals the emotions
2. The plot is simple and universal, making it relatable to a wider set of audience
3. People relate to these characters and feel their own story is enacted on the screen
4. Love in itself is a powerful notion and appeals to emotions, invoking excitement, making use of engaging storytelling
5. Fantasy, wish fulfilment and happy ending evoke happy emotions and feels like the perfect fairytale. We all love fantasies!!!
Hence this typical storytelling plot stands the test of time and is used even after so many years!
How's the day going guys!?!
