The Pan-India culture gave a big opportunity for filmmakers to take their films to a bigger section of audiences. Films made in southern languages received massive reception in the north. While the southern languages benefited from this, Bollywood faced a tough time. Movie lovers there increased their expectations and films are falling short.
Post-Pan-India films, Bollywood could not meet the expectations and a few filmmakers say that Pan-India films like RRR, K.G.F, and Pushpa are to be blamed for the rough patch of Bollywood. Anurag Kashyap is one of them. In an interview, he said that south films are destroying Bollywood.
But his views are countered by fellow filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri. The Kashmir Files director said he doesn't agree with this and asked if any others are of the same opinion. He said this on his Twitter account. Anurag did not like this and hit back. This led to a war of words between them.
Anurag Kashyap said just how Vivek Agnihotri doesn't research before making a film, he made the tweet without any research. In response, Vivek Agnihotri dared Anurag Kashyap to prove that his research was wrong and the exodus against Kashmiri pandits was fake.
If we look at the issue from a critical point of view. Both directors have a correct point. The southern industry has been making commercial films and they are the USP of our industries. The Commercial films were presented in a more appealing way to the audiences and the audiences in the north loved that.
As the Pan-India films offered over-the-top action and stylish fights Hindi audiences are also expecting the same from Hindi filmmakers. As a result, the films are falling short of expectations and becoming flops. This is what Anurag Kashyap tried to say.
Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri shed light on the most controversial topic, the exodus of Kashmiri Hindus. They faced many atrocities and were forced to leave the valley. Hindu women were brutally assaulted and tortured by the majority there. This is also true. BJP and right-wingers supporting the film gave others a chance to project the film as propaganda. Moreover, the political stands of the two directors also added fuel to the Twitter rift. Anurag is pro-left while Vivek is pro-right.
