Amol Palekar says Hindi cinema should stop equating good films with box office numbers | Bollywood

Published by Parlour News

Mumbai, Expressing his concern over the declining state of Hindi films, veteran actor-filmmaker Amol Palekar on Friday said there’s a need to rethink the criteria for defining a “good” film, which shouldn’t always be defined by how much money it has earned at the box office. Amol Palekar says Hindi cinema should stop equating good films with box office numbers He cited the recently released film “The Mehta Boys”, directed by Boman Irani, as an example of the type of heartfelt storytelling that is lacking in contemporary Hindi cinema. “A film is more than the money that it has earned. Why do we associate good movies with their business? Is our understanding limited to the business a movie makes? We are often told that a film earned Rs. 400 or 500 crores but a good film should not be about how much it has earned at the box office,” Palekar said on day one of ABP Network’s Ideas of India 2025 when asked about the decline of Hindi cinema. According to Palekar, “The Mehta Boys” …

From The Mehta Boys to Mughal-E-Azam and Animal: Fathers and sons who are foes, friends and everything in between | Bollywood News

I enjoyed watching The Mehta Boys last week on Amazon Prime Video. As impressive as Boman Irani and Avinash Tiwary were in their roles, I felt like reaching through my screen and hugging Puja Sarup’s character Anu, a woman stuck not just between two continents, families, and accents, but most unfortunately between her father and brother. Being the first-born daughter, she is now forced to take on the role her mother has played all these years, being the buffer-cum-peacekeeper between the two men in her life. Shreya Chaudhry’s character Zara also plays a similar role, becoming the filling between two slices of toast. Individually they may be great, but when placed together, they only have crumbs of flavour to offer. Is it any surprise then that men often need alcohol to let their guard down with each other? Something to dissolve the need to appear strong and confident, revealing the little boys who grew up watching their fathers constantly being in control emotionally. While we have all grown up hearing that so and so is …
