The five hits don’t compare to Laapataa Ladies or Chamkila, of which LL made only a fraction of their earnings. If we want cinema to evolve, we need to change how we see it.
I get your point, but if this shift happens - this would actually further enable those nepo babies whose film flop, they will use their PR to spin the story, which is something Varun has tried to do already. Whats problematic is that these nepo babies are the very reason for Bollywood's downfall.
Also one month into 2025, and we have zero hits and most upcoming films look like duds to me as well.
