Another blow from Trump, Bollywood films now on target
Mumbai, May 5, 2025: Former US President Donald Trump has once again created a stir on the global stage. This time he has directly targeted the Bollywood film industry. Trump has announced plans to launch a cultural and economic attack on Bollywood films in a recent statement. According to him, some Bollywood films challenge American culture and this poses a threat to his country's entertainment industry.
Trump said in a post on social media, "Bollywood films are not just limited to songs and dance, they are a cultural invasion. We will stop it now!" He has hinted at taking some strict steps for this, including restricting the screening of Bollywood films in the US and controlling their streaming platforms.
Bollywood veterans have expressed strong displeasure over this. Famous director Karan Johar tweeted, "Curbing art and culture is not befitting of any advanced society. Bollywood is the soul of India and we will not bow to any external pressure."
The announcement is likely to impact cultural ties between India and the US. It could also increase the challenges for Bollywood films in the global market. More clarity is expected in the coming days.
