The fan base of a famous person is responsible for the boom of the biopic genre. These followers are keen to get every update on their stars through social media so the makers take this opportunity to give a bigger insight to their lives by making a movie on them. Indian audiences have always appreciated good content so well made cinematic pieces have been rewarding.
Biopic is seen as a creative challenge as the director and producer of the film needs to keep the true facts along with sincerity in mind. It is looked at as a phase and it would be interesting to figure out how long would this last. Some of people are saying that Bollywood is running out of fresh ideas so it is using this genre as a support system till viewers get bored of the same.
Though every biopic is made with a purpose of influencing and motivating the audiences but some of them fail drastically to fulfill this desire. The very first point of contact with the audience related to the movies is the trailers of the film. If the film aims at pulling the audience towards the silver screen the trailer needs to be strong and gripping.
The showbiz industry is slowly drifting towards making biopic of people who are still alive. By doing this entertainment industry is aiming at targeting the youth section of the audiences coming in.
According to my point of view there should be a good mix of the new ideas and biopic. It is always great to know about the real life struggles of a well known person but the new ideas would also keep the movie goers engrossed.
