Rohit Shetty Strongly Counters Bollywood Criticism

Mumbai, December 22 - Blockbuster Bollywood filmmaker, Rohit Shetty has responded to the unfair criticism the Bollywood film industry is receiving for its failure at the box office. The industry has gone through a rough phase over the last couple of years due to the covid-19 pandemic as films have failed to make a mark barring a few blockbusters.

There have been films this year that were expected to perform well, but couldn't spread magic at the box office. The underperformance of the films like "Bachchan Pandey", "Laal Singh Chaddha", and "Vikram Vedha", and others, led to criticism of the industry.

Rohit Shetty, who is busy with the promotion of his upcoming comedy film "Cirkus", was asked a question about the poor run of Bollywood in comparison to southern industries which have delivered mega-blockbusters in 2022.

Shetty stated that Bollywood is going through a phase due to the pandemic though it is not doom and gloom as there have been blockbusters films from Bollywood like Gangubai Kathiawadi, Brahmastra, The Kashmir Files, Bhool Bhulaiyya 2, and Drishyam 2.

The filmmaker points out that Bollywood has been the synonym for blockbusters over the years and has been known to churn out one blockbuster after another since the 1970s. He listed out past blockbusters like Deewar, Don, Hum Aaapke Hai Kaun, Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Ghum, Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jaayenge, Singham, Suryavanshi, Amar Akbar Anthony among several others.

Rohit Shetty further said that Bollywood will be back with a bang with films like "Pathaan", "Tiger 3", "Fighter", "Dunki", and his own "Singham Again", among many others.
