Published by Parlour News

Veteran actor Pankaj Kapur reflects on the evolving landscape of Hindi cinema at a time when big-budget spectacles like Dhurandhar, Dhurandhar: The revenge, and franchise-driven formulas such as Housefull 5 (2025), Stree 2 (2024) dominate the conversation, with films like Golmaal 5 continuing the sequel trend. Despite the industry’s tilt towards scale and familiarity, Kapoor believes storytelling is quietly reclaiming its space. “The biggest change is that stories have improved significantly. Content has come back strongly into cinema,” Kapoor says, reflecting on how the focus has gradually returned to substance after a phase where it seemed to drift. Actor Pankaj Kapur “There was a period, especially in the late ’80s and ’90s, which was very different. But today, even mainstream cinema is looking to say something through its stories.” At the same time, he acknowledges the challenges that content-driven, smaller films continue to face within this ecosystem, films like Jab Khuli Kitaab, Tu Yaa Main, and others, which often struggle to secure a theatrical release despite their intent or get barely any screens. “I’ve a …
