There was this really nice article a few days back in the newspaper about how Hollywood is able to make good movies from simple concepts. You've got mail, when harry met sally, one fine day, etc. They are really no big plots - but excellent movies.
Of course the author did not mention the real reason, or probably it got 'moved' during editing.
But i can say it here ...
It's probably because you can fit all the good Indian actors and put them in a Mini van and take them around. You can literally count them on your fingers. But in Hollywood, every single actor knows that a hit doesnt make him the 'next big thing'. Its the thing about the capitalist markets too. Every one is always under scrutiny !
And then there are no shah rukh khans in hollywood. So every actor is fighting for the first place. Gives each actor the perspective to work and act harder. It's not our guys are not capable to act well ... they are just not 'wanting' to push themselves.
And that's the reason why movies like Shrek make 900 plus million dollars in earnings and our animation like Ganesha wont even break even.
It's all in the attitude people. Talent takes polishing.
