All time Dhollywood rulers

Love triangles
The three-way battle of hearts has been Dollywood's favourite plot. A loves B but B, somehow confused between A and C, finally settles for C. After all, it's this tear-jerking formula with the mixture of guilt, sacrifice and a happy-sad ending which makes the film a total paisa vasool! Are you already thinking about the plot of the film Love Ni Bhavai?
Men in khaki wardi
It's raining cops in Dhollywood always! Be it good, bad, brave, violent or charismatic, we've seen them all.The whistles generated with the 'dhamakedaar' action-oriented entry of the hero very well portrays our fascination for cop drama! One can never forget actor Jayesh More as Inspector Gohil in the award-winning film Wrong Side Raju!
Westernisation of Gujarati music: English lyrics and western beats in Gujarati songs is an on-going trend. Think Vishal Dadlani's Amdavad Re from Wrong Side Raju. The song caught fire among the urban youth, especially the Amadavadis as they could really connect to the song. The song stands out in a unique way and talks about the nuances of the city.
Family dramas
Whether you find them incredibly annoying or extremely satisfying, Dollywood films will always provide you with that feel-good family drama. Recent hits like Chal Man Jeetva Jaiye and Pappa Tamne Nahi Samjaay are royal family sagas. With a whole bunch of kakas, mamas, maasi and buas who make the home lively, these films not only reflect day-to-day family discussions and family business issues but also have marriage and festive sequences, mushy romantic numbers, family tussles and loads of masala. "Maa, tane maari kasam", "Aa aapda parivar ni parampara che", "Tara sanskar bhooli gayo?" are a few dialogues we Gujaratis can utter correctly even when we are fast asleep.
Mahilas lead the bandwagon
We've been raised to believe that movies are a reflection of the society that we live in. Their inspiration comes from cultural practices, psychological framework and the likes and dislikes of the society. And that might just be true to a certain extent. With women performing well in all spheres of life and voicing their opinion against big banner, big hero, masala movies, there's a new genre of films that have women performing some real action. Think Esha Kansara's striking action sequences in the film Mijaaj.
