Anurag Kashyap says people started using more gore and violence in films after 'Animal' became a hit: 'What has happened since KGF, Salaar...'
Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap recently voiced his concerns about the direction modern Indian cinema is taking. Anurag and filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma came together to share some of their initial days and struggles in the industry. In a conversation with India TV, Anurag and Ram did not hold back while reacting to the trend of recent films copying the same theme in an attempt to succeed at the box office. Anurag about the impact Sairat Reflecting on the 2016 Marathi blockbuster 'Sairat', Anurag Kashyap said he had expected the film to inspire a wave of grounded storytelling. Instead, he noted, it sparked a shift towards formula-driven filmmaking. 'What has happened since KGF , Salaar is that you wonder, why does the DI of all the films look the same? In Animal (2023), the gore and violence worked. Hence, filmmakers are now including more and more gore in their films—sometimes without reason! That for me is a scary part because then people start chasing a wrong goal post, "Kashyap remarked. Ram Gopal Varma about big budget movies He further observed that many directors seem to lack the ambition to craft a true cinematic experience, instead clinging to formulas derived from isolated decisions. In the same conversation, Ram Gopal Varma drew from his own experiences. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like CFD: Invertir $250 en Amazon podría devolverte un segundo salario Capital Markets Undo 'I never consciously thought of making Satya (1998) on a low budget.

Maharaja's Anurag Kashyap reveals a filmmaker deliberately sabotaged VFX in his film to make people notice visual effects
Anurag Kashyap and Ram Gopal Varma have never been ones to shy away from expressing opinions candidly. Now, the iconic filmmakers have lashed out against contemporary filmmakers who use formulaic methods to create cinema, with some even revealing a filmmaker's sabotage decision for their own film. In an interview with The Filmy Hustle, hosted by distributor-exhibitor Akshaye Rathi, the cinematic duo came together for the very first time and spoke quite a lot about films. During the conversation, Anurag Kashyap spoke about how the 2016 Marathi film Sairat became a massive hit, and he felt the movie would set a benchmark. However, everyone stopped making such movies and went on to follow a formula. The director mentioned that a filmmaker, whose name he won't say, had deliberately put bad VFX in his film so that everyone would know they had used special effects in his movie. He continued, 'What has happened since KGF, Salaar is that you wonder, why is the DI of all the films looking the same? In Animal (2023), the gore and violence have worked. Hence, filmmakers are getting more and more gore in their films, sometimes without reason!' He further highlighted how filmmakers do not consider 'creating a cinematic experience' as a goal. On the other hand, underlines how the formula they follow is based on a peculiar conviction by a person when everyone around them would advise not to follow it. On the other hand, Ram Gopal Varma added more to the filmmaker's comment and said, 'I never consciously thought of making Satya (1998) at low cost. I was spending what was required, and it created authenticity and realism. If I had spent Rs. 5 crores more, Satya's quality would have been five times lesser!' The Shiva director went on to mention how, following the Baahubali days, many have adopted the mindset that one must spend more on production values and VFX to impress people. The director stated that his issue is not that one can save money by making a film with less cost, but that filmmakers ruin films by spending too much. He concluded that with artificial production values, people are cutting emotions from stories.

Dhadak 2 clears with 16 shocking edits: What did CBFC really cut in Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri's film?
Dhadak 2, starring Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri in lead roles, faced several delays over certification issues. It revolves around a love story facing caste and social status barriers. The upcoming film is the sequel to the 2018 hit film Dhadak, starring Ishaan Khatter and Janhvi Kapoor. Now, as per reports, the film has been granted a U/A certificate from CBFC but after 16 major edits. Yes, you read that right! A report in The Hindu stated that Dhadak 2 has been cleared by CBFC after 16 edits were implemented. Among the most notable edits was a dialogue hinting at a political reference, which was rephrased to soften its tone and avoid associations with public figures. The board also raised red flags over multiple caste-based terms, asking for them to be muted or swapped with less provocative alternatives to maintain sensitivity. Religious references weren't spared either. A line implying divine duty was reframed to focus on moral action instead, keeping the message inclusive. Even a Tulsidas doha was replaced by a more symbolic verse about quiet resistance packing a punch. Another dialogue highlighting power and control was transformed into a metaphor about overlooked dominance, echoing deeper societal dynamics without naming names. All in all, the film went through a thoughtful recalibration to pass the certification test. Meanwhile, Dhadak 2, penned and directed by Shazia Iqbal, is the sequel to the 2018 romantic drama Dhadak. Janhvi Kapoor and Ishaan Khatter made their debut with this film. The first part was an adaptation of the famous Marathi film Sairat. Dhadak 2 is being backed by Karan Johar's Dharma Productions. It was officially announced in May last year and introduced Siddhant Chaturvedi as Neelesh and Triptii Dimri as Vidisha, respectively. In the motion poster, their sizzling chemistry could be seen and fans praised it. Later, a report in Bollywood Hungama stated that CBFC had put a halt to the film's release.
