Malaika Arora says first 25 years of 21st century have been about reinvention
MUMBAI, India — Malaika Arora says the first quarter of the 21st century has been a time of constant reinvention for both herself and Bollywood as the industry moved away from formula-driven cinema to bolder, content-led storytelling.
Reflecting on the past 25 years, the actress said Bollywood in the late 1990s relied heavily on stars and set formulas, while today’s films are more layered, honest, and experimental. She noted that rapid advances in technology, from digital filmmaking and VFX to the rise of OTT platforms, have completely reshaped how films are made and consumed.
Malaika added that audiences have evolved just as much, becoming sharper, more engaged, and open to unconventional narratives, something she said surprised her the most as content-driven cinema slowly found mainstream acceptance.
On a personal level, she said the journey has pushed her beyond glamour and dance into fitness, entrepreneurship, and now authorship, calling it a phase of steady growth and reinvention.
Looking back, Malaika named films such as Lagaan, Dil Chahta Hai, Queen, Gully Boy, and Andhadhun as defining milestones of the era, while also crediting Shah Rukh Khan’s films—from Swades and Chak De! India to My Name Is Khan and Pathaan—for shaping Bollywood’s emotional and cultural identity across generations.
She also pointed to the rise of strong female-led performances and the influence of streaming platforms as key forces laying the groundwork for the next phase of Hindi cinema.
