New Delhi, Aug 23: Bollywood star Jackie Shroff who has been a part of films strong on the emotional quotient like Parinda, Karma and Border, believes that Bollywood films are losing out on the Indian flavour these days. The actor, who won a Filmfare award for his role in the 1989 film Parinda, said that films based on Indian values which touch the emotions of people are missing from the canvas of Bollywood. “Films based on family bonding, on emotional attachments have become less in number, the hindustani flavour is gone from Bollywood films,” Shroff, who was in the capital to promote his film Kisaan, told PTI.
The actor, who has just completed 26 years in the industry with about 150 films to his credit, said that things have changed quite a lot now. “Some of my films have run successfully for more than 25 weeks in a row, nowadays films are declared hits if they can make it big in the first three days. The passion is lacking in films. Film making is more of a business these days. Life has become so fast, no one has time to stop and think. You have to move with the times, you can’t help it. Whether we are progressing or degrading, God knows,” Shroff said. (PTI)
