Jaya Bachchan talks about the content of today’s films that focus only on BO collections more than subtlety on the sidelines of MAMI
Just when KJo’s Ae Dil Hai Mushkil (ADHM) is ready to steal hearts and unfold the suspense during the weekend after alll the controversy the film faced, Jaya Bachchan draws all attention to herself when she made shocking remarks, which subtly throws straight arrows at her daughter-in law, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan! She admits her opinions openly on films and filmmakers at the 18th MAMI Film Festival in Mumbai, “Filmmakers, at that time, created art. Today, it’s a business and it’s all about numbers. Everything is thrown at our face. People have forgotten subtlety. Open display of affection is considered smart… sharam naam ki toh cheese hi nahin hai (People are no longer ashamed of anything). Now, it’s about huge collections at the box office, Rs-100 crore films, first weekend collection… It’s all Greek to me”.
While Mrs Bachchan does not shy away from expressing herself; on the otherhand, Amitabh Bachchan has stated that he has not even watched the trailer of ADHM when asked about his reactions on the film.
Do you think that Jaya Bachan is right?
