How Bollywood RUINED Writers

Bollywood may be the world’s largest film industry, but its foundation — the writers — remain the most exploited. From stolen scripts and missing credits to unfair pay and legal battles, writers have faced decades of betrayal. Even legends like Salim–Javed, who gave us the Angry Young Man and some of Bollywood’s greatest blockbusters, never received fair royalties.

This video uncovers the hidden struggle of screenwriters and lyricists — from Rajat’s stolen web series to Kamlesh Pandey, Honey Irani, Jyoti Kapoor, and others who fought for basic recognition. It reveals why Bollywood pays crores to stars while sidelining those who create the stories, and how this neglect has fueled today’s content crisis.

Discover how writers changed Bollywood forever, why the industry betrayed them, and why valuing writers may be the only way to save Indian cinema.
