I failed the movie by not being part of the governing forces: Karan Johar on Kalank's failure at the box office

L & # The colossal failure of Kalank was a blow to Dharma Productions. The film production company, led by Karan Johar, was expecting a lot from the drama of the multi-starring period, but as fate would have it, the film, tainted by adverse criticism and negative word of mouth, resulted in a collection Rs 80.35 crore. For a film made with a big budget of 150 crores, the performance was mediocre.

In a recent conversation with DNA, Karan, whose last film was Student of Year 2 was opened. on the debacle of Kalank and how he deals with it. The filmmaker said, "My director Abhishek Varman and I sat down and badyzed the places we escaped. I have to be involved in every film produced by Dharma because I am not just a producer, I am a creative producer. "

Holding himself responsible for the bad show of the box-office film, Karan said:" For me, when Kalank fails, it's my failure. I am the eldest, I am the wisest. I am the most knowledgeable person about what works and what does not work. If the film has faded, it's largely my responsibility and my blame. Of course, no one can blame it, but I chose to do it because I felt it was something I had known for at least 15 years. It was a film that was close to my heart and maybe that's why I lost some objectivity. "

The filmmaker added that he did not consider Kalank as a failure but a success because he learned from that." He told the tabloid: "I have failed to film because I was not the good housekeeper, and that taught me a lot – I could have done it in two ways, I could have fallen into that failure or I could not do it. Ask, "Why?" Or could I have said, "Why did that happen and let me learn from that?" Let's get it as a new 2.0 feeling where I'm much more badytical. submit my projects to many more trials and tribulations before they are broadcast in front of an audience.When you fail and you learn from them, it is for me a success. will never look at Kalank as a failure, I will consider it a success because it has taught me not to fail in this way.
