"Trash Films earns 200 crore, the taste of the audience has deteriorated," says this filmmaker

Medium-budget films will sell very well at the box office, but filmmaker Tigmanshu Dhulia believes that such cases should be considered an exception, as "garbage and dirt" movies continue to still make money. The filmmaker, who made acclaimed films like Paan Singh Tomar and the Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster franchise, claims, contrary to popular belief, that public taste has deteriorated .

"I saw that the taste of the public had changed, that it was a little segregated, that we were doing a movie before and that it was addressed to everyone. Now, some films will only be seen by a certain type of people, and the general audience, including the middle clbad and the upper middle clbad, has deteriorated considerably, "Tigmanshu Dhulia told PTI.

He stated that the change in the attractiveness of the audience reflected the upheavals of society. "There was a director by the name of Dada Kondke, a successful filmmaker, all of whose films worked very well, but they were watched by the frontbenchers, the working clbad. used to go watch them movies, "he said.

"Now, suddenly, you see these Dhamaal and all these movies, of which the trailers themselves have so much trash, dirt, earn 200 Rs crore. That means that they are watched by the multiplexed audience, "he added.

Last year, the Hindi film industry witnessed the failure of all the projects of the biggest stars, from the race 3, Thugs of Hindostan to zero, while films like Stree, Andhadhun and Badhai Ho scored important goals. The director says that it is too early to move to action and claim that times have completely changed.

"This is an exception and not the rule.In 2012, Kahaani, English vinglish and Paan Singh Tomar was also very successful.And then there is had a gap of three to four years, then last year was again a good thing.This is sporadic, "said Tigmanshu Dhulia.

He is currently promoting his latest Milan Talkies movie that he was planning to shoot since 2012. When asked if he was upset by the box office film scores that he did not consider good, Tigmanshu Dhulia replied "not really".

"My frustration, it's when I can not do the kind of movies I want to do.It's the biggest frustration.I want to tell different stories but not the same. Hindi film stories are told in a certain way to change, but you always have to have a hero, a heroine, some friends.The way we tell the story, this scenario has to change, " he told PTI.

The talks in Milan include Ali Fazal, Shraddha Srinath, Sikander Kher and Ashutosh Rana. The film, co-written by Tigmanshu Dhulia and Kamal Pandey, is due out on March 15th.
