00:00 Cinema reflects our time.
00:04 Cinema cannot create movement.
00:06 Cinema can be a part of movement.
00:09 My question is to Manoj ji.
00:11 Sir, in one of your interviews you said something beautiful
00:15 that if cinema can change anything,
00:18 it is people's hairstyle.
00:21 So sir, if you can see my taunt,
00:24 can you tell me whose hairstyle I should follow?
00:28 No, Parul sells that thing.
00:30 Parul sells all those things of hair
00:38 so that you can get any actor's hairstyle.
00:42 Thank you, thank you.
00:44 Nowadays Instagram is doing that work.
00:48 I have put this on my hair.
00:50 If you want, contact me.
00:52 Shine hair. Shine hair.
00:53 DM me, DM me.
00:54 Shine hair. Parul, tell me your Instagram handle.
00:57 Nishhair.
00:58 Nishhair.
00:59 So you understood.
01:00 Okay, Parul, your work is done.
01:02 Thank you, sir.
01:03 I am leaving now.
01:04 Nishhair, guys.
01:05 And watch Silence 2.
01:07 No, I mean, I never joke about this.
01:13 Somewhere, cinema,
01:17 cinema reflects our time.
01:21 It can be a mirror of our time.
01:26 Cinema cannot create movement.
01:29 Cinema can be a part of movement.
01:32 That is why I always say that cinema alone cannot change anything.
01:36 Cinema can be a part of a movement.
01:41 If you see, all kinds of people,
01:45 all kinds of rulers have used cinema or art form in their own way.
01:51 So what will you call it?
01:54 Because that cinema or any art form can be a part of it.
01:59 It can never show that direction.
02:03 It can only show my time.
02:06 When Amitabh Bachchan came as Angry Man,
02:09 there was unemployment,
02:11 there was despair,
02:13 what is called hopelessness.
02:15 At that time, the common man didn't know how to vent out.
02:19 Where to look.
02:21 So, Amitabh Bachchan saw himself in cinema.
02:25 And he went out of the cinema by watching his films.
02:29 He felt that this is me,
02:31 who is standing in front of you,
02:33 and he is fighting with the world and the system.
02:35 So, when the time of romanticism comes,
02:38 Shammi Kapoor came,
02:40 and in our time, Salman, Shahrukh and Aamir came.
02:44 So, the cinema we watch is a mirror of our time.
02:49 It is not a movement in itself.
