Bollywood hair and makeup costs soar to ₹5–10 crore per film, sparking calls for fair, standardized pay raises.
Rising costs in Bollywood’s hair and makeup teams, with expenses reaching ₹5–10 crore per film, have sparked industry concern.
Stylist Aalim Hakim criticized the practice of tripling or doubling fees after a star’s blockbuster success, calling it unethical and damaging to professionalism.
He advocates for standardized, modest annual raises—5–10%—for HMU teams, regardless of a star’s box-office performance, comparing fair pricing to fixed product costs like iPhones.
