I don’t know what’s wrong with the Bollywood these days. Lots of films are not been able to click with the audience. I feel sorry for filmmakers and their team. I don’t know why these days films fail to attract us. I was eagerly waiting for Akshay Kumar’s “Housefull 5,” but it disappointed me completely. In fact, many of my friends also did not like the film and felt sad after the show. Even FM channels are not talking good about it. I appreciate the hard work it goes behind making a film. I always respect that. This is not an easy job, but the maker has to have understanding of the concept.
Despite the fact that the film has Akshay, Abhishek Bachchan, Riteish Deshmukh, Nana Patekar, Jackie Shroff, Jacqueline Fernandez, Nargis Fakhri, Chunky Pandey and more, still the director could not make it interesting. I still remember the first edition of “Housefull,” which was released in 2010, it was a great movie to watch. I went to cienema hall twice to watch that film. Now I hope Aamir Khan’s new film “Sitaare Zameen Par” which is releasing in the UAE on June 20, manage to entertain audience. We have lots of hope the superstar.
