Farhan Akhtar feels that realistic films working, but escapist cinema isn’t dead too. The actor will be next seen in film Lucknow Central, feels that the films that have performed well and even appreciated seem to be talking about our issues, dwelling less in fantasies and more in reality.
A slew of films set in small towns and tackling real issues may be scoring big at the box office, but actor-filmmaker Farhan Akhtar says escapist cinema is still not dead. This year, Salman Khan and Shah Rukh both saw their much ambitious projects Tubelight and Jab Harry Met Sejal, respectively, getting poor response from the audience, while films with more real setting like Bareilly Ki Barfi, Toilet: Ek Prem Katha and Shubh Mangal Saavdhan, became
successful at the box office.
In an interview with PTI, Farhan says, “It has been a very different kind of a year (for Bollywood). The films that have performed well and even appreciated seem to be talking about our issues, dwelling less in fantasies and more in reality.
