Anurag Kashyap, a filmmaker, is actively promoting Do Baaraa, his upcoming film in which Taapsee Pannu stars. The director has been discussing Hindi films, the current situation of cinema, the South industry. And the reasons why movies aren’t performing as well in theatres as they did before to the pandemic.

Anurag responded to the inquiry about possible causes for Hindi movies’ poor box office performance by saying, “Nobody is lacking. How do you know South movies are working? One film worked in Kannada and Tamil and two each in Hindi and Telugu. You wouldn’t know the names of Telugu, same in Tamil and Kannada films, that released over past few weeks. That is because films are not working there either. The main problem is that people do not have the money. You are paying GST on paneer. You are paying GST on your food. The calls for boycott, boycott Bollywood, boycott this and that ..all those trend so you may get distracted (from the real issue). And, with their money, people wish to spend on a film when they are completely sure the film will be liked by all. Or, if people have been waiting for the film for years. RRR for example, people have been waiting for SS Rajamouli’s film ever since Baahubali. KGF 2 was also much-awaited film, ever since the success of KGF. Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 was also a sequel and people were waiting. Now, Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s film Gangubai Kathiawadi, people stepped out and watched it because of the good word of mouth. The film picked over time.”

He went on, “People do not have too much money in their pockets. We must talk about the dangerous economic slump in our country, but we do not want to talk about these and are instead stuck with Bollywood or cricket.”

The movie Do Baara will premiere on August 19, 2022.
