People From Hindi Film Industry Should Think Original

Acclaimed
filmmaker
Prakash
Jha
in
his
latest
interview
with
a
news
portal,
reacted
to
the
disastrous
fate
of
Aamir
Khan’s

Laal
Singh
Chaddha.
While
a
section
of
people
felt
that
the
cancel
culture
caused
a
major
dent
in
its
box
office
collection,
the

Rajneeti
director
has
a
different
take
on
it.

According
to
Jha,
a
film
cannot
be
made
only
through
money,
corporates,
and
paying
a
high
fee
to
the
actors.
It
needs
to
have
a
good
story
as
well.

The
filmmaker
told
Cinestaan,
“It
is
being
said
that
Aamir
Khan’s
film
was
boycotted
on
social
media.
If
he
had
made

Dangal
(2016)
or

Lagaan
(2001)
and
then
the
film
hadn’t
done
well,
then
we
would
have
understood
that
it
happened
because
of
the
boycott.
But
you
have
made
such
a
film
that
majority
of
those
who
have
seen
it
aren’t
praising
it.
I
am
yet
to
find
someone
who
has
said,
‘Wow,
what
a
film
it
was.”

While
he
lauded
Aamir
Khan
for
his
hard
work,
he
also
added
that
when
there’s
no
factor
in
the
film,
one
shouldn’t
say
that
it
didn’t
do
well
because
of
the
boycott.

He
further
added,
“They
should
make
stories
that
are
rooted.
People
from
the
Hindi
industry
are
speaking
in
Hindi
but
what
are
they
making?
They
are
just
churning
out
remakes.
If
you
don’t
have
a
story
to
tell,
stop
making
films.
They
should
work
hard
and
think
original
as
people
have
become
lethargic.”

Aamir
Khan’s

Laal
Singh
Chaddha
was
one
of
the
most
anticipated
films
of
2022.
However
upon
its
release,
the
film
despite
receiving
some
positive
word
of
mouth
from
the
critics,
failed
to
set
the
cash
registers
ringing
at
the
box
office.
Also
starring
Kareena
Kapoor
Khan
and
marking
the
Bollywood
debut
of
Telugu
star
Naga
Chaitanya,
the
movie
is
an
adaptation
of
Tom
Hank’s
cult
classic

Forrest
Gump.
