00:00I tried to watch RRR, but I couldn't.
00:04I tried to watch Pushpa, but I couldn't.
00:07I wonder how many women liked RRR.
00:09I never go to watch such films.
00:23Our industry seems to be the only industry
00:25where the lead actor is called a hero.
00:28Commercial heroes are those who save the world,
00:31save women, save damsel in distress,
00:34fight villains, men don't feel the pain, they just speak.
00:37It's a hyper-masculine understanding.
00:38A hero is only a hero if you are that hyper-masculine person.
00:41Kabir Singh has been a big hit in the last 2-3 years.
00:45300 crores, 350 crores.
00:47Absolutely.
00:47Why? What is this fascination?
00:50Insecurity. Men's insecurity is increasing.
00:54That's why more and more effort is being put in
00:58hyper-masculinity.
01:00All the superheroes...
01:02In America, the world of Marvel is going on.
01:05All of them are superheroes.
01:06It's happening here too, but
01:08here, along with that,
01:11a film like Wednesday is also successful.
01:13Correct.
01:15In which there is no hyper-masculine hero.
01:18I agree that its premise is absolutely impossible.
01:23So, somewhere or the other,
01:24that character falls into the category of a hero.
01:27Because what he does is not possible for anyone to do.
01:31These four cockroaches were making my house dirty
01:33and today I want to clean my house.
01:35But people overlook that
01:37because he provides them with a thrill.
01:39So, I suppose this need to receive a thrill
01:43is there and will always be there.
01:46But the acceptance of smaller films like
01:53those made by Anurag,
01:55like Ram Prasad Ki Tervi,
01:57like Gulmohar,
01:58I think these kinds of sensitive movies
02:02will find their place as well.
02:04I'm pretty sure.
02:05Because I have great faith in the younger generation
02:09and I think that they are far more evolved,
02:13far more informed,
02:15and far more savvy than we were.
02:17Apart from the thrill,
02:18I can't imagine what you get.
02:22I tried to watch RRR, but I couldn't.
02:27I tried to watch Pushpa, but I couldn't.
02:32I watched Mani Ratnam's entire film,
02:36because he is a very capable filmmaker
02:38and he doesn't have an agenda.
02:40And I can't imagine,
02:45apart from the thrill,
02:47or the emotions that are hidden within you,
02:53feeding them,
02:57you get a feeling of happiness
03:00after watching it,
03:03which usually lasts for many days.
03:06I can't imagine.
03:08I will never go to watch such films.
03:11A film which women like will always be a success.
03:15And women will like the sensitive things.
03:18I wonder how many women like RRR.
03:21It would be an interesting statistic to find out about.
