Indian Politics is as good as Bollywood movies. You can compare it if you want.
What is the first thing people look upto in Bollywood & Politics. Have listed down a few.
1. Face
This is one of the most important thing both in Bollywood & Politics, trust me, it has been proved. Today it's not BJP that people are looking forward too but the face representing it. Your guess is correct. It's our Prime Minister. Now remove him from BJP and you will get the answer. Compare this to Dabangg series of Salman Khan and then remove Salman off it. You think they would have taken it off without him? Our Prime Minister has such a powerful fan following that whatever he says people blindly follow him. While I m not against of Thali & Diya therapy but not even in favour, but if someone can make entire India do this just by appearing on national television then imagine the kind of persona this guy carries.
2. Content.
Yes your guess is correct. This is required as much as face because face se Aap ek baar kisi ka kaat sakte ho but content rahega to har baar katega, just like Dhoom series. Har film mein pata hai bike hi rahega but bike chalane wale change hote hai and bike aur modify ho jati hai. I m sure 70% of you would get to know the content and it's the same from 1947 and it will go on till 2050 and might be beyond but which ever government comes in they would follow this ...some will take hindutva as there weapon and others will take secularism as there choice ... in the end syllabus ek hi hai but author badalte rehte hai ... Dono ko hi dekh lo. It's just like 2 brothers playing chor police. Both can't be chor at one time.
3. Opposition
Yes this one is as important as first 2 ones. Consider you have a movie release of any bigger celebrity, who do you think can beat that? Only a lion can fight a lion. Imagine Rajpal Yadav releasing his movie with an awesome content but will someone go to watch it? No one to be precise because Indians have a mentality of visual content and then the story. That's the whole point Rahul Gandhi is not taken seriously and BJP will remain into power for next 10 years ... it's not because they are strong but it's because there is no one against them. Rajpal and Rahul both starts from R is a complete coincidence here. Pardon me for that.
4. Media / Marketing.
Last but very important leg ... yes, fake it till you make it. Today people believe what they see .. like for example, my neighbour was against idea of thali and all and didn't participated in that activity but post that he saw most of the people (here I would say 90% on our contact list) advertised it on social media, what's app, etc etc and that actually changed his mind. This time he not just participated in candle light thing but also posted the same as his biggest achievement. Do you know what's the best thing that sells in India? It's PORN, soft porn to be precise. We all are vulnerable to porn but still half of us prefer downloading stuffs from Ullu app, Sunny Leone Hindi movie because that's how it is advertised. Being an Indian we have a tendency of following "half naked" policy. We are more turned on with a girl wearing a bikini in Bollywood movie rather then a complete naked porn star. Correct me if I m wrong.
All above stated points are fictional and has nothing to do with reality. It's not related to any individual, religion, caste etc. Just for the purpose of enjoyment and corona effect of sitting idle at home.
