Why Hindi movies are getting senseless?

Well, these days the level of Indian cinema seems to be going down and public is believed to be dump to come to theatres spending thousands of rupees for the torture. One such recent example came from Shah Rukh Khan's ridiculous movie "Happy New Year". He just doesn't seem to get his act together after making people watch Om Shanti Om and even Chennai Express.

I feel that SRK is a big name but script, direction do not seem to do justification to such big names and earn a shame for entire Hindi Cinema. Here are few reasons why I feel that Happy New Year should be banned:

1. WDC = Worst Dance Competition

Movie is about WDC (World Dance Competition) along with diamonds robbery (well every other movie is robbery - Bang Bang, Kick), however the Team India eventually made it to finals through a hacker (why he can hack anything & everything without fail) and some emotional drama that only Farah Khan or her brother can think of.

2. Password? Charlie

Any sensible person and more so a reputed security agency will change passwords and ramp up security. But HNY is not the obvious. So even after a million years, the password continues to be Charlie. Why we can not find a good script writer???

3. Cheap Comedy
Team India seemed to crack jokes on which nobody literally nobody will laugh. Script again fail to cheer.

I thought of reasons of why such things are happening.

1. Indian film makers are half prepared and think big banners cant go wrong. They are too complacent. They are right in a way that they can get crores of rupees (30 crores INR was made by advertising like Nokia, Duster) in HNY.

2. They seem to be half minded. Overdose of cinema has gone into the film makers and they have lost creativity.

3. Good dancers, choreographers and music directors are hard to find. Well this looks to be one of the reason behind HYN. If smaller movies like Ashiqui 2 can produce blockbuster songs why cant movies of Salman, SRK whose producers have deep pockets.

4. Marketing is too easy - With platforms like Comedy Nights with Kapil Tarek Mehta ka Oltah Chasma, Online Media, Brand Endorsements becoming too easy to connect with prospective audience, film makers are getting easy money, why they shouldn't then?

I strongly feel a need of an independent review mechanism to judge a film and then audience should make a call of whether they wish to watch or not. Time has come for such movies/film makers to be shown the door.
