Tigmanshu Dhulia Critiques Film Industry's Impact on Creative Storytelling
Filmmaker Tigmanshu Dhulia criticized the Hindi film industry's tendency to favor formulaic projects, saying those who approve films have "zero vision" and hinder creative storytelling. He described every film as a struggle and noted that despite following conventional formulas, many projects still fail. Dhulia's latest film, "Ghamasaan," a commercial gangster drama, faced challenges releasing in theaters and was instead released on OTT platform ZEE5, which he said was disappointing. He emphasized that "Ghamasaan" is a conventional commercial film, contrary to perceptions of it being unconventional.
