Sanjay Gupta recently shed light on the underperformance of
Bollywood films
at the box office windows in recent times. Gupta, who is a known filmmaker revealed the possible reasons responsible for decline of
theatrical footfalls
.
In an interview with India Today, the filmmaker said that directors could be one of the reasons for not giving good films, as most Hindi films are not working at the box office.
While speaking about the performance of Bollywood movies, the filmmaker shared, “There are multiple factors that contribute to these numbers. Simply put, one goes to watch a movie in a theatre to experience something that’s larger than life which teleports them into another world”
He further said that today, to reach anywhere in a city like Mumbai or anywhere else in India, there’s traffic, construction work and what not going on and if one is dealing with all of this issues and goes to cinema with their friends and family, then they are really in need of getting a good movie experience.
He further said, “After all of this, if they are presented with something that’s not good, then the number of people going to cinema halls is certainly going to decrease.”
He concluded by saying that most of the theatres are empty today because many of the
filmmakers
are not bringing in good contents for the audiences like old times.
