What do you think is the main reason behind a major decline in Bollywood hits?

Interviewer's reactions: Correct, correct Bilkul, bilkul, Sahi baat, sahi baat Ekdam sahi, ekdam sahi Ji, ji, ji, ji So true, so true Outstanding, outstanding Kya baat hain, kya baat hain Typical Dilliwala, dull dumb from Lajpat Nagar/Rajaouri Garden, our interviewer. our Pinkvilla editor. Mediocrity ka zamana hain, kar hi kya sakte hain.....

His understanding of the audience is spot on right. From an audience wallet share perspective, a couple will easily spend close to Rs 2000 if they choose to go for a movie in a theater... right from stepping out of the house till return home. That is the same amount they will spend for an OTT platform subscription for close to 6 months for multiple movies. When they see that they go to the theater and get a feeling that they have spent on the heroines short clothes or gym membership of the hero... or paying for a sub talented star kid lifestyle, it is a tremendous let down. This is the sole reason why I haven't stepped into the theater for the past 4 years.

Very insightful interview. Kalakar se kaarigar. From artist to a craftsman. A technician from an artist. Fabulous interview

Excellent perspective on the business of cinema. He is in touch with past and current realities.

Anchor Bhai itna mat phenko.. With respect to Subhash Ji, YASH CHOPRA ne India k 3 maha nayak ko direct kiya hai. Dilip kumar, Big B aur SRK and so on...

This was a good and realistic interview 👍🏼✨

That was a great interview.... ...kudos to the team👌🏻👌🏻

Subashji loved ur interview creative director script doctor stars now have creative team to hear there s cript first looking forward to see ur Nxt love❤ an blessing

I completely mesmerized by the way he explain how the whole the film industry works, how a film has to made, and how a simple job/role has to be done, amazing. Thank u Subhash g for sharing such valuable experiences & life lessons with us. We (audience) wish that the current producers will follow your advices and will take the film production to the next level by keeping the audience (not the actor) in centre. ✌️

Excellent..Mr. Ghai ...well said ...well spoken..truth and only the truth

Subhash Ghai has even worked with Raaj Kumar, Shammi Kapoor,Samjeev Kunar Dharmendra, Shashi Kapoor , Shatrughan Sinha and Amitabh Bachchan for few days.

Brute Honesty and Truthfulness!👍🙏

Glad to see atleast someone telling n explaining truth.. Well said.

Sir good aap jase film maker bhut kaam ha aap ko fir industry ma aan hoga best filmmaker 👍👍👍 sir Subhash Ghai ji 🙏🏽🙏🏽🎉🎉

he is really show man, we love movies due to his, he know how to project scene story on screen, big frame....he did his best,, last movie was khalnayaak, always thriller and action with good music.. miss you sir

Solute, Respect to his mature thoughts and thanks to my cable operator that I was able to see 3-4 old Indian movies every night throughout covid in karachi, pk. I had always wanted to do it since I wasn't allowed to do so in my childhood. Last 3 yrs were magical due to old Indian cinema, a little but not so much due to the new cinema.

The 3 films he is talking of dilip saab's is Vidhaata, Karma & Saudaagar.

Shahrukh is the only one who defines stardom

Iconic Interview

Wow what a true man!! Showing the reality of stardum

Subhash ji we are eagerly waiting for your new film ....

This guy (Subhash Ghai) would always be resented for the way he treated the legendary music director R. D. BURMAN in his last days

Great Interview Loved it

SRK fans skip video to 38:30...

Today's directors should take a master class from Subash Ghai "The Show Man"

The way he praise during introduction..Guys I hv literally started to believe that Ghai is bigger body in Indiain cinema than Satyajit Ray...(😂😂)

Golden experience to hear Ghai ji

Audience is more educated, better traveled, exposed to world cinema. When Ghai made movies it was about song-dance, villain, comedy and dramatic climax. He could never compete with present generation and their talent.

Such a great interview, waiting for Rehman interview

I think it's shows life is a full of circle, time will come again of 80's and 90's

Yeh kitna simple idea tha of long shot and focus on sound.... exactly why Marvel movies work. Some movies are to be experienced in theatre but the story also should be larger than life. Other than that a good comedy is good for family viewing. Otherwise paying 1000 rs for tickets and popcorn in one day for only 2 ppl is not worth it. Prime ka annual subscription is less than that 1 day expense.

Very nice and honest interview 💜😍💟

The interviewer is in so much awe of Subhash Ghai.. for him the only name that comes in mind for Showman is Subhash Ghai !! Whereas for any cinema lover in India, it is Raj Kapoor.

Fantastic Personality Subhash Gae ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🎥

Dil ki baatein sunke ankhon me chamak aati hai, muskaan ek pyari chehre pe chaa jaati hai

The day our Film Industry's focus changes from 'Saleable Stars' to 'Good Scripts and Visionary Directors', we will again start making highly successful and memorable films! Sholay, Mugal-e-Azam, Guide, Deewar, Karz, Chak De, 3 idiots, Bahubali, Dangal were all greatly successful & memorable films, first because they were great Scripts handled by Capable & Visionary Directors who had the ability to extract great performances from its talented actors and guide every film department to deliver its best. An actor is upfront on screen, so he walks away will all the credit, but no actor however big or talented can make a badly written or directed film work. To consistently churn out successful and inspiring content we need to dedicate ourselves to understanding the Science of good Screenwriting, respect and compensate writers well, for the true King of a good film is actually a good Script!

Gem of an interview

8:42 to 8:47 Aapne Ashok Kumar Ji, Dutt Saheb ir Mala Sinha ji ke Gumrah (1963) ka poster dikhaya hai.

Very Proud of You Varun - come a long way from BBA days in Vadodara.

I love this man and he is a power of talent.

To the person who took the interview ...please ..when you use superlatives and adjectives..be careful what you say ..because unknowingly you might be disrespecting some one ...Show man term ...Mr Raj kapoor ke liye coin hua tha ...I was seriously waiting if Mr Ghai could say a word and correct him ... Rest ..agree Mr Ghai is a legend himself ...he took cinema to new heights...no doubt about that ..

Abbey Ghai saheb ko bolne dey ! Interviewer just spoiled a great interview!

Now we now why he became obsolete. Clearly he could not brace himself up with changing audience & ways of business. He should be the last person to be asked on why films aren't working in the last couple of years. His innings got over way before the period bollywood transitioned into meaningful content.

The host spoke about male actors only..hasn’t Subhas Ghai directed and launched any actress???shame on you if you still think it’s insignificant to mention female actors

plz make movies again...

Subhash Ghai Sahib is absolutely right.

Mukta Arts Ltd (Film Institute) & etc is saving that name and brand. Loyal name with a quality stamp.

Very intelligent interview 👍

Which was his last movie that did good business? Why did his films failed and now nobody even cares if he is doing any project.

Legendary Director...last of his extinct kinds🙏🇮🇳🇮🇳

Rajesh Khanna (Kakaji) Dhiraj Kumar Ji ( Swami Fame) Subhash Ghai Ji 1965 Up...

GOOD JOB Bring all veterans pls

Last 17 movies of Subhash Ghai had flopped...whether as a director, producer or writer...Any particular reason for that...no boycott culture, no nepotism, no SSR death, still his movies flopped .. Bottom line, if the content is exciting..then movie will make moolah...

बहुत ही बढ़िया इंटरव्यू,अच्छी बातचीत।लेकिन होस्ट महोदय को ध्यान देना चाहिए कि घई साहब हिंदी बोल रहे हैं तो उनको भी हिंदी बोलना चाहिए

name came up in me too movement don't know real or untrue such powerful person could demolish any news.

Nice interview

Shah Rukh Khan

I don't mean to be disrespectful to Mr Subhash Ghai, he amongst many other film producers are good, beyond doubt but the biggest showman in our Hindi cinema has got to be late Raj Kapoor Saab There is and has not been anyone to beat Raj Kapoor Again, yes there are some good film producers like Subhash Ghai

You should listen more after asking never interrupt

Thanks pinkvilla

He is an institution in himself , sadly the star system has killed the film industry and he was sidelined by the new generation . If the new generation takes guidance from him bollywood could make a comeback. Varun gupta you have conducted this interview beautifully .

He made so many big hits..

Shahrukh khan sir bollywood best self-made king inspiration pride of India and bollywood

what a great perspective and i do feel that he is one of the best filmmakers in the world.

Masterclass!!!

Subhash films not easy to make by any mainstream director

Stop criticising him he has proved himself

आप ने,,हमें दिशा दिया जीवन की,,,क्रोधी, दोस्ती, परदेश,,,पता नहीं क्यों,,,फिल्म देख कर लगता है,,कोई कवि,,,कोई मुनी,,हमें जीवन सीखा रहीं हैं,,हम आपको बहुत प्यार करते हैं और,,धन्यबाद

Thank you sir

Subhash Ghai khud ki movies nhi chal rhi 20 saal se. His last hit was Taal and after that he made series of bad movie. He himself couldn't connect with the audience.

I wished Subhash ji should have completed Devaa movie with Amitabh sir

Since the past 15-20 years, his own movies are not working.

the anchor is very well engaging and responding to the guest.. what is his name ?

Khalnayak was Subhash Ji's movie which brought people to Theaters without any promo or marketing....

Shahrukh khan sir stardom achievement success unmatchable boss bad phrase he trying original movies with experiment with clash king is king forever

Somebody take a guess as to how many times this interviewer used the word ‘correct’.

Now he has mentioned only Aishwarya's name between all heros....she is a such a huge star for a reason

He explains real face of Bollywood

How many casting couches he has done

Very good msg

He is absolutely true sabko due milna chahiye salman khan ko lagta h mere name pe movie chal rahi so usne prize badha li after Akshay nd ajay did that so thanks to south they step in show them mirror that movie is running bcz of them it's running based on story screenplay dialogues bollywood is going downwards day by day it's not in race only so

Ghai saab saudagar jaisi new film banaiye jis mein Amitabh bachchan ji ka zabardast Rol ho

Excellent Subhash Sahab.

Mr.Anchor,pls.avoid interrupting guests intermittently...Rest all cozy.👍

My life time favorite film maker..

This is such a chauvinistic interview… no mention of actress …guess they never existed in his head !! No wonder all rumors about him must be true !

Zabardast interview ... but dont use the word CORRECT so many times bro ....

apni kaam ko chorke baki sabka kam kar raha hai...a line 100% right.

One and only showman of Indian film industry Raj Kapoor

सर! अब वक्त आ गया है, कि द ग्रेट फिल्म मेकर, सुभाष घई और सदी के महानायक अमिताभ बच्चन एक साथ बड़े पर्दे के लिए कोई प्रोजेक्ट करें और भारतीय सिनेमा जगत के लिए एक ऐसी अनमोल फिल्म बनाएं, जो सही मायनों में भारतीय सिने दर्शक के लिए ही नहीं बल्कि पूरी दुनिया के सिनेमा प्रेमियों के लिए एक तोहफा सिद्ध हो👌 शुभकामनाएं💐💐👍

Don't want to talk avt his controversies just wish someone hire this Showman , give him all the money support and give him a free hand to make a spectacle hindi family masala action movie just like karz or taal or pardesh or whatever on a grand scale!!! I know his ideas cud be Outdated, he may not be contemporary but we need old charms back in hindi movies for hindi audiences, And Subhash Ghai can do it Hope Aishwarya Rai works with him again Hope Sharukh khan, Anil kapoor too back with him!! We want the old epic hindi industry back with 80's and 90's charm... I know people may make fun of me after reading my plea but trust me new young directors who only makes dark boring liw budget depressing movies cannot bring back the charm in hindi movies, we need family audiences back in the theater, Untill n unless family audiences back in the theatre to enjoy Hindi movies, Bollywood is finished!!! Our movies are different, don't make movies to impress west, We need action masala filmy movies on a grand scale back, budge matters!! Remember how much karma, karz, taal & pardesh wud cost in today's time!! We need money nd m8vue making on tht grand scale as well.... munus vfx off course lol Bring back Subash ghai , give him one more chance to make a bigg budget movie!! If I had the money I wud have ask him to remake Mr.India 2022 lol no joking Karthik as Mr. INDIA , he worked with Ghai b4 in a low budget movie I think, thn why not... Also Sharukh khan as Mogumbo 🔥🔥🔥 that wud be epic!! Wish Aishwarya Rai was young enough to play sridevis role...😁 but they can cast any new south actress to play her, ive someone in my mind but wont write her name here ;) Just make a

Worst person to comment on why bollywood is not working. His movies stopped working when bollywood was giving multi 100 crores blockbusters year after year.

Masterclass in FILM making

Yeah, who can forget masterpieces like YAADEIN, KISNA, YUVRAAJ AND KAANCHI…🙄🙄🙄

With all respect to subhash ji. Woh daur alag tha. Cinema used to show a world which we could not afford to see in real life. Now after internet and globalisation we have access to anything and everything. Marketing is needed as we have thousand things to entertain us for free so between all this clutter if film has to be noticed it has to be marketed. Third from arrival of the viral fever videos they started creating real life stories of common man in a real way and not a filmy way. Web series like ghar wappsi kota factory panchayat the aspirants gullak these started capturing the present youth which showed our life as it is. Now d filmypan is not appreciated. U have to accept your failure ghai sahab. U did not keep in touch with the changing audience and trend. You can't live in past glory and fame. Tell a story which has to b told not create a story. Now that's wat works. Anyways thank u for the lovely music u have given in the years.

Pardes and Taal is my favorite.

Why is the interviewer going on saying “correct” repeatedly? It spoils the interview.

We miss subha ghai s creative and really show man of bollywood

Kya Ghai sir ka contact ho sakta hai kyu ke mere pass bahot hi achchi Love story hai with lyrics and songs with composed..showman sir liye hai khas par kahi contact mahi hai can you 🙏
