Javed Akhtar says South Indian stars ‘nobody knows' are stealing limelight while Hindi directors keep ‘dreaming in English'
Veteran writer-lyricist Javed Akhtar opened up about the creative crisis that Hindi cinema seems to be in, and said that he is disheartened by the lack of depth that he's been observing lately. On the other hand, he said, South Indian films are succeeding because the filmmakers behind them are telling stories about a specific audience. He cited anthropological reasons behind this, and said that Hindi cinema is made by people whose parents migrated to Mumbai, while South Indian filmmakers continue to work in the regions they were born. In an interview with The Lallantop, Javed Akhtar said, 'I have a complaint with Hindi cinema; our movies lack a certain depth these days. They're mainly focused on action, and they've lost their touch when it comes to creating three-dimensional characters.' Asked if he's ever surprised by the kind of movies that click with the audience, he said, 'I'm rarely surprised by the kind of business that a film does. There have been times when I've walked out of movies that have gone on to become superhits. But that's what people like. The interesting thing is that movies from the South, starring actors nobody knows about in the north, are doing great business. This isn't a fluke, life is very complicated. You see, Hindi movies are made by migrants from the north. But South Indian movies, regardless of whether they're Tamil, Telugu, or Malayalam, are made by people from those regions. Hindi movies are made for everybody. South Indian films are made for a South Indian audience.' Also read – Javed Akhtar on Bollywood's silence over Operation Sindoor: 'Kuch log abhi abhi paisa aur naam kamane mein lage hain…' Javed explained, 'Hindi filmmakers migrated from their regions, whether it's Uttar Pradesh or Rajasthan. In a way, they've been ripped away from their roots. Their parents belonged to the first generation; they were in touch with their roots. But these people have grown up in Mumbai's cosmopolitan culture. They dream in English. They aren't rooted, not like their parents were. They're the second generation. On the other hand, filmmakers from Tamil Nadu are still working in Tamil Nadu; they haven't migrated.' Javed said that there are exceptions to this rule, and cited Udaan as a fantastic example of a rooted film. It was, however, directed by Mumbai born and bred Vikramaditya Motwane. In an earlier interview with Galatta Plus, filmmaker Anurag Kashyap voiced similar sentiments about the state of Hindi movies. 'Here, cinema is largely controlled by those people, and that too the second generation, that has grown up in trial rooms. They have not lived life. So, they're referencing is based on cinema. What is not on screen can't be cinema to them. The biggest problem with YRF is the trial room effect. You take a story and you want to make a Pirates of the Caribbean out of it and it becomes Thugs of Hindostan. You take a story, and you want to make a Mad Max: Fury Road out of it, and it becomes Shamshera. The moment you head in that direction, you're cheating yourself, especially in today's time.' Javed Akhtar is best known for the streak of hits that he co-wrote with Salim Khan in the 1970s. The influence of those films is still felt in the industry today. Even the biggest South Indian hits of recent times, such as the KGF movies and the Pushpa films, owe a creative debt to the Angry Young Man subgenre of social impact cinema that Salim-Javed popularised decades ago.

Hardik Pandya in tears after brother Krunal fulfils promise of adding 9th IPL trophy in 11 years to the Pandya household
Amid the manic celebrations that broke out in the RCB camp, mostly revolving around an emotional Virat Kohli, Krunal Pandya somehow got left out. The Player of the match, the game-changer, Krunal was bought by RCB for ₹5.75 crore. A former Mumbai Indians all-rounder, who knows what it's like to win the IPL – not once but on multiple occasions – Krunal brought all his experience into play and bowled the four overs that turned the match on its head. Krunal gave away just 17 runs and picked up two wickets – of the set duo of Prabhsimran Singh and Josh Inglis. Krunal's two-wicket burst opened the gates for RCB to knock it down and get over the line by six runs. Krunal's win isn't just his or RCB's. It's a win for the entire Pandya family, where there's no shortage of IPL-winning medals. Krunal's win added a ninth IPL medal (not trophy) to the Pandya household. Hardik Pandya has won the IPL four times with Mumbai Indians (2015, 2017, 2019 and 2020) and once with Gujarat Titans (2022), taking the tally to five, whereas Krunal has won it thrice with MI (2017, 2019 and 2020), and now with RCB, extending it to nine. "When I joined RCB, I told them that I love winning trophies. After three and a half months, glad that I was able to fulfil what I said on Day 1. I literally manifested it. It has been pretty good. 10 years, 4 IPL trophies. I told Hardik on the phone that in the Pandya household, there will be nine trophies in 11 years," Krunal told Ravi Shastri while collecting the Player-of-the-Match award. Hardik Pandya and his Mumbai Indians unit endured a heartbreak, losing the Qualifier 2 to the Punjab Kings, which sent them packing. However, the captain did not get much time to dwell over the result, as Hardik was consumed by what his brother had achieved for himself, RCB and the family. On Instagram, Hardik wrote: "In tears right now. Proud of you bhai". Ahmedabad had produced seven 200-plus totals this year, most of which were chased down. So when RCB posted 190/9, it appeared a below-par score. Even Matthew Hayden acknowledged it on air. And to be honest, for the most time, it appeared so too. PBKS were given a quick start by Priyansh Arya and Prabhsimran Singh, putting on 43 inside the Powerplay. However, once the wickets started to fall, there was no coming back. Krunal used the sluggishness of the surface to great effect, mixing up taking the pace off the ball and firing some in. "When we batted, we realised the slower you bowl the better it is. In this format, you need guts to do it. I just backed myself, thought I'll vary my pace and keep it on the slower side more often. My biggest strength has been to learn what the situation requires. I knew I had to be brave to get wickets tonight. Thought I'd do that by bowling slow. If you'd have bowled quick, it'd have been a good wicket. But if you mixed it up it was tougher. Pitch actually got easier in the second innings," he added.
