Mumbai, September 6 - Filmmaker Rakesh Roshan, who gave India its first big screen superhero "Krrish", opened up on the sluggish response to most of the Bollywood movies at the box office post-pandemic. Rakesh Roshan, whose next film will be "Krrish 4", revealed where Bollywood filmmakers are going wrong which is resulting in the failure of their films.

During an interview with Bollywood Hungama, Rakesh Roshan said that the filmmakers of Hindi cinema are not making films to which a large audience can relate. He also slammed the filmmakers for not giving enough attention to the songs in the movies, which, many believe, used to be Bollywood's USP.



"That is because people are making films that they and their friends like to watch. They are picking subjects that appeal to a very minuscule section of the audience. A big chunk of the audience cannot relate to it", he said when asked why Hindi films have not worked at the box office recently.

"Another major problem is that the songs are going out of the film. Earlier, there used to be 6 songs. These songs would help the actors turn into superstars. Whenever you listen to old classics, you remember the heroes who were featured in those songs. Nowadays, since there are no songs, toh hero yaad nahi aate hai. As a result, becoming a superstar is very difficult at present", he added.

Post-pandemic, South Indian films have worked really well at the box office and a few of them have also done very good business in the Hindi market. Rakesh Roshan said that the filmmaker in the South are "still sticking to rooted stories and they are presenting them in a very upgraded way, keeping in mind the commercial sensibilities".

"Our Bollywood filmmakers have drifted away from the roots of Indianness. They try to make so-called 'modern cinema' but it works with only 1% of the population. It does not cater to B and C centers. So if you pick subjects that cater to the C, B, and A centers and present them in a very novel way, it'll appeal to everyone", he added.
