Haasil director Tigmanshu Dhulia recently shared his views on recent films, including Dhurandhar, leaving the internet divided. The filmmaker was recently seen at an event in Delhi where he addressed the audience about the quality of films being made in today's mainstream and commercial space. He even cited the example of the multi-crore blockbuster Dhurandhar, saying the films these days have no stories to tell.

Tigmanshu Dhulia questions Dhurandhar's story

Tigmanshu Dhulia opened up about the Aditya Dhar-directorial admitting that he liked the first part of the film for its music and presentation; however, he felt the story department could have done a better job. "Thanks to corporate culture, only one kind of film is being made today. Every film is a fictional biopic. When I talk about commercial mainstream cinema, there are examples like Pushpa, KGF and Dhurandhar," he said.

"By the way, I liked the first part of Dhurandhar; it was very well presented, engaging, good music. But if you ask someone to tell the story of Dhurandhar, no one will be able to tell you. A man, who is undercover, goes to Pakistan and wreaks havoc there. Is this even a story?" he added.

The director also blamed "extreme capitalism for such trends. "There are no stories in today's films. People who would tell stories don't exist anymore and the ones who want to narrate their stories don't get to do so. People think those films 'won't work'. It's the same template... People also start looking the same; they even have the same haircut. Every city has started looking the same," he said.

For the unversed, Dhurandhar is a two-part film series fronted by Ranveer Singh. The film collectively earned over Rs 3,000 crore at the box office, making it the highest-grossing film in Indian cinema.
