Because if you look at the actors who star in these type of films, you still won't find many from the B-town a-list in them. Of the newer crop of actors though, people like Konkona Sen Sharma, Ranvir Shorey, Vinay Pathak and Abhay Deol are doing the right thing by choosing films that are less conventional or formulaic (as you mentioned) but with stronger plot lines and more realistic characters. Thanks for sharing your views on the film's poster design. For Ishqiya, I wasn't really even thinking of the design or art direction of its promotional material. I was too eager to take in the plot and cinematography instead. I wouldn’t really call it a fusion of art-house and commercial cinema just yet.

It is a fusion of art film genre into mainstream cinema; good riddance to bollywood's formulaic plots. Bollywood seems to be turning global and increasingly towards it's western counterpart. And, about the commentary on promo graphic design that you missed I'll fill in. The poster looks fresh and unique among the current movie posters. A well-informed individual will be quick to inform that it's influenced by legendary swiss-style graphic design. The diagonal orientation and contrast in typography are cleary reminiscent of the style. There is a positive trend in Bollywood: what I could summarise as good cinema.
