Effect of Western Cinema on Indian Movies

It was not a long time ago when movies that were being made in Bollywood only contain few basic elements:-
A stereotypical actor(Hero); a stereotypical villain who captures actress(heroine wink wink!) and its the duty of our hero to save the heroine, and the pinch of humor here and there in the film. This was usually the basic story of all the films made in 90′s with the addition of songs around trees.  But as the audiences in India started to get the taste of western movies, Indian film industry changed drastically.
Lagaan(2001) along with Dil Chahta Hai(2001) could be considered as path breaking films in Indian cinema. When other film makers saw that Indian audiences are now changing , they also join the cinematic revolution. Rip-offs of Hollywood films seemed to be safe bet then, so many produces gone with the wind. Thereafter several movies came like:-Kaante(2002):- Inspired by Hollywood film ” Reservoir Dogs”,
Koi Mil Gaya(2003):- Inspired by Hollywood film ” E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial”,
Qyamat:City Under Threat:- Inspired by Hollywood film ” The Rock”,
Irrespective of being the rip-offs , these movies are considered to be blockbusters in Indian film history. This made film makers thinking that if pure hollywood storyline can attract few Indian audiences then the blend of both the film industries can attract a whole wider lot of cine-goers.  This started combination of Hollywood and Bollywood masala films and start new era of hindi movies. Movies like:-
Dhoom(2004),  Bunty aur Babli(2005), Krrish(2006), Dostana(2008), Race(2008), Kites(2010) and Ra.One(2011) have hollywood impact on their story telling, action sequences but they still have the Indian feel, this was the main reason that they all excelled at box office, because it doesn’t matter that how much Indian audiences love western cinema,when it comes to blending of west and east, they love it.
