Aamir Khan says Bollywood is experiencing a downturn but has great potential to improve | Hindi Movie News

Aamir Khan recently acknowledged that Bollywood has considerable room to grow. In an interview, the actor whose latest movie, ‘Laal Singh Chadha’, underperformed at the box office shared his thoughts on the industry’s current condition. While he believes Hindi filmmakers can enhance their craft, he also emphasized that this doesn’t imply their work falls short compared to other film industries.
Scope for improvement
The actor told Hollywood Reporter that he is not saying filmmakers can’t improve. He believes there is definitely a lot of scope for filmmakers to get better and learn from various industries. However, he questioned whether the quality of filmmaking is actually different across the country.
Reflection on the quality of films from the 70s and 80s
Khan said that if you look at the quality of films made in the 70s and 80s, most of them were low in quality according to him. When he entered the industry in 1988, the bulk of films being made at that time reflected this. However, since then, he believes there has been improvement. After the 90s, with the arrival of the 2000s, audiences changed and became much more open, wanting to see different kinds of material.
Bollywood’s natural cycles of ups and downs
He pointed out that every industry experiences periods of decline, and although Bollywood is currently facing challenges, it is gradually progressing. He noted that while there is scope for improvement, Bollywood has been improving slowly. There are ups and downs in every field, and Bollywood is certainly going through a low right now. However, he believes this is part of natural cycles that occur in every field, and it is not a new phenomenon.
Focus on storytelling
The actor concluded by saying that he prefers to focus on what he does best telling stories he believes in. He mentioned that he does not hold any grand opinions about himself or believe that he can change the industry. According to him, making a film is very difficult, and creating even one good film is a significant achievement.
