The term “Boycott Bollywood” describes a conscious choice not to support a person, a celebrity, or their works in order to express disapproval of or protest against certain commercial practices in the Bollywood film industry. Everything started when a mysterious virus ordered people to stay inside and to stop worshiping gods with their clay feet. This might be a suitable send-off for the thriving Bollywood film industry in a few years.

Shah Rukh Khan, a well-known Bollywood actor, is one of the most adored performers in the world. Actors “should respect the audience” since they comprehend everything, according to SRK. He must have seen the future because the new #BoycottBollywood trend is currently hurting the whole Bollywood film industry.

Recent box office failures include Laal Singh Chaddha, starring Aamir Khan, Raksha Bandhan, starring Akshay Kumar, Taapsee Pannu, and Liger, starring Vijay Deverakonda and Ananya Panday. Bollywood films are being boycotted by internet users due to their attitude, offensive religious material, haughtiness, and nepotism in the business.

What is #BoycottBollywood?

The Boycott Bollywood trend refers to a deliberate decision not to do business with a person, celebrity, or their films in order to protest or denounce specific practices in the Bollywood film industry.

A megaproject worth INR 450 crore, The Brahmastra: Shiva, has become the target of boycott calls. Many causes have been given for this by online users. The main causes of the #BoycottBrahmastra trend include Alia Bhatt’s remark that “if you don’t like me, don’t watch me,” Ranbir Kapoor’s eating habits, and Ayan Mukerji’s Instagram post on Brahmastra’s preliminary preparations.

The Dharma Productions production “Liger” is the most recent high-profile flop. According to Vijay Deverakonda, he disagrees with the boycott demand for Laal Singh Chaddha by Aamir Khan. Deverakonda was targeted by the boycott movement by #BoycottLigerMovie, which claimed that his Liger was bad for the health of the country.

But eventually, in every sector, a sort of reckoning comes to pass. Additionally, this is the moment when influential figures and experts prefer to unite and speak out in support of one another and their respective fields. They must act responsibly toward others in ways other than just writing checks. The reason it is being rejected is because of who makes the movies and who stars in them, not because of the movies themselves.
