New Delhi :

Director Karan Johar, in the recent episode of Koffee With Karan 7 claims that actor Aamir Khan is responsible for losing the tonality in Hindi cinema that South cinema offers. In conversation with Aamir, theAe Dil Hai Mushkildirector said, "There's been so much success that some of the South Industry films have offered us in terms of Baahubali, RRR, KGF, and Pushpa and some of our films that haven't been working. Is there a shift that's happened in our movies recently in terms of like there's a tonality that KGF has or Pushpa has that actually Hindi cinema used to have. We actually let go of it and you're responsible for it."

Explaining the reason why he finds Aamir is responsible for all this, Karan said, " In the year 2001 you came up with two films Dil Chahta Haiand Lagaan, both had new sensibilities, both had a new syntax in cinema then after that you came up with a film Rang De Basanti in 2006, then you made Taare Zameen Par right after that, with the result you started making a certain audience and filmmakers."

To which Aamir denied all the claims and said, "No you're wrong. Those were all heartland films. Those movies had emotions. They reach the common man. It's something that you will emotionally connect to. Rang De Basanti is a very emotional film. It touches the people at grassroots."

Aamir further said, "I am not saying make action films or crude films. Make good films with great stories but choose topics that are relevant to most people. Every filmmaker has the freedom to make what they want. But when you are picking something that the bulk of India is not really interested in... There are niche people who are interested, which most of us don't realise. That's what I feel is the difference."

South Indian films in the past few years have performed exceptionally well worldwide. But big Bollywood films like Prithviraj, Ranbir Kapoor's Shamshera and Ranveer Singh's Jayeshbhai Jordaar failed to bring audiences to the theatres.

You, you , you. This is all your fault, not mine.

Yeh rite

Aamir is responsible…. I mean shoving expensive Lehngas, rich Raichands landing in helicopters for work, expensive American looking schools like st teees didn’t alienate the common man and the grassroots level audiences at all

I agree with Aamir on this

Salman was selling corns from 2010 to 2016?

Aamir has actually made great films.

They have had an emotional connect that is why they did well. Lagaan, Rang de or Taare had so much emotions at an inter personal level. Whether parental, friendship, student teacher or romance.

It is the below par writing and too much influence of over priced stars plus fashion than on story writing and music

KGF had swag and an emotional story and that is why it connected. Shamshera was atrocious in all levels and Ranbir does not have the swag that Yash had to carry out that persona.

Similarly Big B had great stories but he also had the persona which took his films to another level.

K3G came in 2001, after 21 years we still mocking Karan? 😆

I don’t think a movie has to be relatable to work, it just has to connect well with the audiences. It’s why a movie like K3G or DDLJ worked, because aside from the story, the emotions were portrayed so well. Shamshera flopped because it was God awful, not because audiences taste in movies has drastically changed.
