The big-budget mainstream theatres allow people to sit back, relax, and enjoy themselves after a hectic day of work. They are usually non-meaty, light-hearted, and have the sole purpose of entertaining the masses. These films cater to the needs of a wider audience and generally revolve around the themes of romance, comedy, romantic-comedy, and action.
