Tigmanshu Dhulia Critiques Storytelling Trends in Dhurandhar and Bollywood Films
Filmmaker Tigmanshu Dhulia criticized the blockbuster Dhurandhar films for lacking a clear story, describing them as engaging but narratively thin. Speaking at a recent event, he linked this trend to 'extreme capitalism' and corporate influence in Bollywood, which he said limits diverse storytelling. Dhulia acknowledged the films' commercial success and praised their presentation and music but expressed concern over the industry's reliance on repetitive templates and fictional biopics, suggesting that authentic storytellers face restrictions.
