Sandeep Reddy Vanga says ‘Mumbai is too woke’: ‘I don’t understand why they are so sensitive about movies’ Bollywood News
Since the release of the movie “Animal”, he has been active as a film director and writer. Sandeep Reddy Vanga often complains about his critics. And how unfair they are to his latest blockbuster. In a recent interview, the filmmaker reiterated the same point, stressing that cinema is not a temple of learning and criticizing the growing hypersensitivity and arousal in Mumbai and across Mumbai.
In response to a question from trade analyst Komal Nafta about the perception that animals can have a negative impact on people, Sandeep said: “That’s right. Movies are not temples of learning.” If we don’t learn from school or our parents, how can movies teach us? I had forgotten about it and thought it might be okay to rate the movie, but this word reminded me that I was wrong. There is a saying that goes, “The more times you tell a lie, the more it seems like the truth” and that is what is happening not just in Mumbai but across the country. Too much wakefulness. People are becoming hypersensitive. I don’t understand why they are so sensitive about the movie when other departments don’t have this kind of reaction. ”
When asked about the difference in his scripts compared to other directors and screenwriters, Sandeep said: “When someone says my film is very dark, I compare it to world films. In comparison, I feel average. I want to get there…the masses can get there, but the critics can’t get there. I make movies for the masses, and the perception that the critics have created is that “Animal” made 250 million at the box office. Assuming it stopped at Rs.350 million or Rs.350 million…the film would have been declared a failure. My power over the critics is more than they can bear, but if this rate had been lower, people… would have thought the critics were right.”
We talked more about critics and the influence they have on a film’s performance. “Critics can ruin even simple and average films. I have said this from day one. By the grace of God and my hard work, all three of my films have become blockbusters. If someone makes a mediocre film… For example, if a film is made on a budget of Rs 100 crore and earns Rs 140 crore, it is a hit. If the reviews are negative. , it’s a failure. That’s my concern, they could hinder the movie, they think they don’t, but they actually do. What they like, they like too. They don’t have the ability to think in medium units.”
