Director Vivek Agnihotri yet again hits out at Bollywood for not learning from their mistakes after success of many small budget and unexpected movies in 2022.
Several big budget and highly anticipated Bollywood movies failed miserably at the box office, movies such as Shamshera, Dhaakad and Laal Singh Chaddha sank at the box office.
Meanwhile Bollywood Big movies failed, there were many unheralded movies such as, Kantara and The Kashmir Files that became huge success and managed to impress the masses.
The Kashmir Files director took to twitter and gave example of movies like Rocketery, Kantara, Karthikeya 2 and his very own The Kashmir Files.
4 small films with no stars, no marketing or distribution support – #TheKashmirFiles, #Kartikeya2, #Kantara & #Rocketry earned approx 800 Cr at BO. Total cost of production of 4 films under 75 cr.
Is Bollywood blind, deaf & dumb that they don’t understand simple maths and learn?
