filmmaker Tigmanshu Dhulia He criticized the current state of the Hindi film industry and identified problem areas. In his new interview, he said that the gatekeepers of Hindi cinema are stuck in a rut because they don’t see the real India. Similarly, he said, mainstream actors lack the language skills needed to improvise, which is why they’re all “terrible.”
Tigmanshu appeared in an interview on Red Mike’s YouTube channel and talked about his career and the film industry. When asked about Hindi films and their stars, he expressed regret over the current situation, but said that he was able to extract his acting skills from ‘Patal’ (Rock) as well. He said in Hindi, “Mainstream actors in our country can’t improvise. They speak English all day long at home, receive scripts in Roman script, and can’t improvise, which is why they’re all terrible.”

Afterwards, he talked about the “great tragedy of Indian cinema” and offered his thoughts on why it is in decline. “After the split, People from all over the world came to Mumbai. Lahore had a film industry and Bengal still has a film industry. In Maharashtra alone, we had studios in Kolhapur and Pune. Bimal Roy came to Mumbai, Hrishikesh Mukherjee came to Mumbai, the Anand brothers and Prithviraj Kapoor came from Punjab… They brought their stories and culture. Later they had children and the children got married and settled in Mumbai. ”
He continued: “These guys were from Mumbai. They had never seen the rest of India. The only time they went to Kashmir was probably to see Daddy’s shooting. They went to London and I traveled to New York. These kids made movies based on their understanding of movies. There should be heroes, songs, etc. This is where the lack of evolution, what we call the emergence of formula movies, comes from. ing.”
Tigmanshu said things changed in the early 2000s, when a new crop of filmmakers, including himself, came to Mumbai from smaller cities. But he also held his own people responsible for having succumbed to “greed” for so many years. Mr. Tigmanshu spared his audience, too, and he said consumers are more “timid” than they were 20 years ago.
Tigmanshu Dhulia got his break with the film ‘Haasil’ and has since directed films like Paan Singh Tomar and ‘Saheb, Biwi, Aur Gangster’. He recently moved into streaming, but he said in the interview that even that industry is currently struggling after the boom it saw during the pandemic.
