Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap has hit out at the Indian theatrical ecosystem for bleeding non-blockbuster Hindi films dry like the recently released, 'Bandar' and Imtiaz Ali's 'Main Vaapas Aaunga' on screen count and show timings, while Hollywood releases like 'Obsession' continue to enjoy significantly better showcasing. In a candid interview recently, Kashyap argued that the industry's fixation on event movies, citing the Ranveer Singh starrer 'Dhurandhar' as the rare blockbuster and 'event movie' that justifies the model is creating a self-defeating cycle where only expensive films get made, word-of-mouth for smaller films is never allowed to build and audiences are steadily pushed toward OTT consumption. |
