===New Bollywood (1990s–present)===
In the late 1980s, Hindi cinema experienced another period of stagnation, with a decline in box office turnout, due to increasing violence, decline in musical melodic quality, and rise in video piracy, leading to middle-class family audiences abandoning theaters. The turning point came with ''[[Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak]]'' (1988), directed by [[Mansoor Khan]], written and produced by his father [[Nasir Hussain]], and starring his cousin [[Aamir Khan]] with [[Juhi Chawla]]. Its blend of youthfulness, wholesome entertainment, emotional quotients and strong melodies lured family audiences back to the big screen.<ref name="Chintamani">{{cite book|last=Chintamani|first=Gautam|title=Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak: The Film That Revived Hindi Cinema|date=2016|publisher=[[HarperCollins]]|isbn=9789352640980|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=BZYOvgAACAAJ}}</ref><ref name="Ray">{{cite news|last=Ray|first=Kunal|title=Romancing the 1980s|url=http://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/movies/Romancing-the-1980s/article16898867.ece|work=[[The Hindu]]|date=18 December 2016|language=en-IN}}</ref> It set a new template for Bollywood musical romance films that defined Hindi cinema in the 1990s.<ref name="Ray" />

A new generation of popular actors emerged, such as Aamir Khan, [[Aditya Pancholi]], [[Ajay Devgan]], [[Akshay Kumar]], [[Salman Khan]] ([[Salim Khan family|Salim Khan's son]]), and [[Shah Rukh Khan|Shahrukh Khan]], and actresses such as [[Madhuri Dixit]], [[Sridevi]], [[Juhi Chawla]], [[Meenakshi Seshadri]], [[Manisha Koirala]], [[Kajol]], and [[Karisma Kapoor]].<ref name="actorsuntil90"/>
