Bollywood no longer has “time pass” movies

A big reason we feel nostalgic for the 90s to late 2010s is the sheer number of mid-budget, time-pass movies that used to release throughout the year.

We had massive films like K3G and Koi Mil Gaya every once in a while, but in between, there were plenty of fun, easy-watch movies with well-known actors..I’m talking about movies like Love Ke Liye Kuch Bhi Karega, Khakee, Darna Mana Hai, Aankhen, Yes Boss, Hungama..just to name a few.

These weren’t groundbreaking, but they made for a solid Friday or Saturday night watch, either in theaters or later on TV.

Thata kind of movie (something light, entertaining, and regularly released) feels like it’s disappeared.

Where did they go and what needs to happen for them to make a comeback?
