Emraan Hashmi acknowledged Bollywood as a “soft target” and responded to the downfall of Hindi films: “We saw the worst movies in the movie.”
While promoting the upcoming release zero releases, Emraan reflects on the reasons for the fall of Bollywood and looks back at the “worst times” before the pan-Indian films.
Every year, when several Hindi movies don’t work, netizens, gossipers and haters start writing obsessives in Bollywood. But the dull stages are nothing new in the history of cinema, Emraan Hashmi emphasizes how Bollywood is a soft target of criticism. Emraan joined Indian DNA to promote his upcoming film Zero, and when we asked him to target his tedious phase of Bollywood, he said: “(Bollywood) has always been a gentle target and is always criticized. It’s always the focus of the discussion. But, it’s a ring of spirals. This happened in the 1980s.
The murdered actor further explained that the 1980s were considered the worst time in the film industry. “The worst period is said to be in the 80s. The worst films back then were made at the time. I think it was the 80s or 90s, and we think it was the end of Bollywood,” said Emrahn. He shared perceptions during the VHS boom (in the 1980s), adding, “People used to think of ‘who would go to the theater, when you have VHS, you have VCR at home. But, ultimately, it’s a community view, it’s a community view. When you sit in the theater and the theater, you make a different experience.
Emraan does think Bollywood needs to be reset and points out areas for corrections. “I think all we need to do is to reorganize completely. The conception of the movie, the economy and the distribution. The whole thing needs to be reset.” Hashmi further said: “It’s unacceptable. If you take your family to watch a movie, you end up spending Rs 1,000, and the average person doesn’t have such money to do every weekend. He might stand out in movies during the 2 Wing or Eid or any other weekend. The price-sensitive market, we have to understand that.” Zero Ground will be released in cinemas on April 25.
