Mumbai | Thursday | 25th November, 2021

Summary:

Mumbai, Nov 25 (PTI) Director Milap Zaveri says he has sensed disdain from a section of audience towards commercial films often dubbed as "masala" entertainers even though every industry in the world ultimately relies on such movies to keep the commerce alive.Since 2018, Zaveri has helmed three action movies, starting with "Satyameva Jayate", "Marjaavaan" and his latest, "Satyameva Jayate 2", which released on Thursday.

While the first two projects didn"t receive favourable reviews, they minted good money at the box office.According to the filmmaker, massy films are up lapped by audience, both Indian and international."I have seen that condensation in a section of people, but those who look down upon mass films are fooling themselves.

This is exactly what India, the world, wants to watch.

If you look around, only commercial masala films work.

Netflix"s "Red Notice", "6 Underground" are such thunderous hits."Marvel (superhero) films too are mass entertainment.

They made one "Eternals" that is esoteric and intellectual and it is their weakest box office grosser.
