Think about ur question once again. Its not like that. Today also bollywood is producing serious type of movies.... We have movies like Tare Zameen Par.
The difference is only- that nowadays films are made according to the demand of people- with a touch of comedy,littile bit suspense & songs.
Mr. Alok Gupta gave u the correct answer. Its unfair to divide movies in categories as- Art & simply entertainment. When we say 'art movies'- It includes the word art & each film needs some art....
Think about the movie Lage Raho Munnabhai--- We can't say it a art movie & we can't also call it a passtime movie. Then what can we call it. Its a fusion of a comedy, suspense and emotional movie.
Today people need total entertainment, so totally serious movies cannot make a good business.....
