Earlier, 'Dunki' director Rajkumar Hirani had given his take on the debate around box office collection these days.
“I feel it’s temporary and it is possible that people get influenced. A person can hear something negative and it is possible that he won’t go. It does have a little impact but in the longer run, that person will see it. If not here (theatre), then maybe on OTT or satellite, and then his love will stay with the film,” he told news agency ANI.
“I still feel that a barometer to judge a film should be… jo debate honi chahiye wo paiso se zyada film ki honi chahiye, film ke content se hone lagi hai. Thoda sa hum ye paiso se karne lage hai, ye tha nahi pehle, ye thoda sa badh gaya hai abhi," he added.
