Indian Cinema was primarily divided into two genres: Art and Commercial. Has time bridged the gap between the two?

What we generally comprehend from Art cinema is that it is primarily non commercial and was targeted for a particular group of audience. In India the division between art and commercial cinema was once, indeed, huge. Bereft of the usual songs, dances, larger that life characters and glamour, art films catered only to a selected few. But I, do agree, that with time the difference between the two has abridged. Audiences in India, today, look for good films and for them serious films are far better than mindless songs and dance sequences.
