Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma has taken a sharp jab at Bollywood, contrasting its film productions with Hollywood’s. In a recent tweet, he highlighted the difference in filmmaking quality, pointing out that while Hollywood is producing impactful movies like Oppenheimer, Bollywood is delivering films like Thugs of Hindostan.
Ram Gopal Varma expressed his disappointment with the Indian film industry, suggesting that Bollywood often falls short in terms of creativity and execution compared to Hollywood. He implied that while Hollywood is exploring complex and meaningful narratives, Bollywood is stuck with formulaic and uninspired content.
Varma’s comment specifically mentioned Oppenheimer, a film directed by Christopher Nolan that has received critical acclaim for its storytelling and cinematography. In contrast, Thugs of Hindostan, released in 2018 and starring Aamir Khan and Amitabh Bachchan, faced criticism for its weak plot and lackluster execution despite its big-budget production and star-studded cast. These remarks have sparked discussions on social media, with fans and critics debating the current state of Bollywood films. Many agree with Varma’s perspective, calling for more originality and innovation in Indian cinema.
Lately, RGV appeared in the film Kalki 2898 AD, starring Deepika Padukone and Prabhas as “Chintu.”
