All of them to some extent. Not one reason can be pinpointed.

He has made come back with new comers but it won't be same as 90s that was a different era

Watching scenes of Khalnayak, Saudagar, Ram Lakhan on YouTube is more fun than some of these new movies

Add to that Rahul Rawail and Rajkumar Santoshi. I got introduced to some of the classic action movies recently madeby some of these directors and must say their movies have all aged so well and even come across as better than the CGI fest action movies that are being churned out now.

Lack of passion and talent.

The rise of OTT platforms, social media, big screen TVs which are common now. COVID showed people that they can stay at home and get entertained so no point in going to the theaters and spending money for substandard entertainment. Also nepotism and promoting and marketing of talentless actors with average looks of which the audience has had enough of. Why spend hard earned money on this?
