Nepe and DWI ji
If you guys don't mind..let me spill some of my non sense.
I think most factors has to do with how evolved are we compared to the rest of the world. We, including Indians, are taught NOT to question and hence we do not think outside of the box regarding the social issues. We think it is working fine, so we don't have to bother to change.
Now the people in the West are always encouraged to question authority and follow their dream ( we follow our brain). Hence this creates antisocial (good or bad), they think outside the box in every issue, many becomes anti religion,rebellious and speaking and doing against authorities. This foster creativity, good and bad too. Let's take examples of movies like Matrix, The Terminator, Star Wars, which are nothing but a bunch of fantasy (to us, honestly, it is a bunch of pagal who has too much time in their hand). Companies like DC Comic, Marvel who makes Superheroes are now making movies that are phenomenon. Why does all our/Indian always has to be about family,social,good-bad story? To me it's simply we do not have the
“frontier/explorer” spirit. Have you seen any Sci-Fi,abstract movies from Bollywood that are original? I bet not. It's not that we cannot make comic, we do not value the creativity in general, we might in the future. Sure there were Nagraj and Betal long time ago, but it was supposed to be for kids, yeas---are you a kid? is the question when a grown up is seen reading comic.

Things are becoming more different in the West. Video games....should we say any more. A grown up CEO of a company has all the XBox 360 collection. Well I was raised to think video games are for kids. Apparently it seems there is nothing wrong with adult playing video games.So no wonder Indians copy Hollywood cause they cannot think to write original material that is different from their Formula 44 scripts. Not that they cannot, but they won't and there is no need or the demand for it, all social related factors.Not saying the West has all the best, they have crap too, but most people do not take it seriously like The Dark Knight. When it comes to comedy, as Nepe said, it has to be interrupted correctly to suite the people. I also believe the Nepali we speak and the formal written are 2 different language. Street speaking Nepali tends to do better with comedy, but if it sound too much like a Bhasan from a leader, we try to avoid and forget it soon. Our language not keeping up with time and inventing new words has limited people's vocabulary in Nepali.
Let's talk about Music. Why do we only like tragedy songs? If you look back ,most good song (when I say songs, I mean in terms of lyrics) were tragedy related. Men and women of different cast, separated cause
they cannot marry and now one of them is writing about it. Things are changing bit these days with rock and hip hop coming up. Even though in terms of music, it is a Western copy, if we can write lyrics that reflects reality, creativity, I think we should be fine. Those “tragedy liking” guys think songs has to be written with precious
grammar, philosophical and everything else is just a crap. Well, then what about ordinary people? Can't they sing? That is the whole reason i respect hip hop people. They can barely write a sentence, but they're happy to sing and write about what they have to say, even if it means less than high school education. What part of society says that songs have to be written preciously? What part of society says everybody has to have a Lata Mageshkar type of voice? Let everybody sing....what is your problem?

Enough of by ranting
