Parambrata’s Response to Anurag’s Taunt

So, my dear Parambrata Chatterjee has finally opened up about the bold comments made by the maverick filmmaker Anurag Kashyap, who didn’t mince words when he described Bengali cinema as “ghatia” (translation: not so great 😜). Parambrata shared his thoughts during a zingy session in Kolkata with none other than Srijit Mukherji.

He echoed Anurag’s sentiments, lamenting that the focus has shifted away from mainstream commercial cinema in Bengal. And let’s face it, doston, without a blockbuster hit, the industry struggles to keep the popcorn popping! 🍿 He mentioned, “Our kind of cinema needs an audience that’s bada enough to keep us going. But sadly, there’s been a disconnect since 2011.” Ouch!

The Remake Rant

Now, Parambrata didn’t stop there. Naah! He went on to roast Bengali filmmakers, taking a dig at the shoddy remakes of South Indian films. Picture this: a film so poorly done that even the dubbing on national channels feels more entertaining! 😂 He pointed out, “Audiences just didn’t want to waste their time on these cheap copies.” The lack of original mass entertainers is apparently driving away viewers, and the industry is feeling the heat!

Parambrata’s Current Flick

Meanwhile, our man Parambrata is keeping busy with his latest project alongside Srijit Mukherji titled Shotyi Bole Shotyi Kichhu Nei. It’s an adaptation of the 1989 Hindi film Ek Ruka Hua Faisla, which fans may know is a remake of the American classic 12 Angry Men. Talk about filmi connections!

Anurag’s Two Cents

As for Anurag Kashyap, he’s been vocal about the decline in quality of Bengali cinema, comparing it to a dramatic fall from grace. He cheekily noted that Hindi films have only stumbled from the first floor, while Bengali films seem to have taken a nosedive from a much higher place. Toh phir, kya karen? 🤷

Kiran’s Gyan:

“In the world of Bollywood, remakes are like samosas at a wedding—overdone and sometimes stale. Remember, originality is the true spice of life, or in this case, cinema! So, Bengali filmmakers, time to bring out the masaledar stories and win back those lost audiences. Otherwise, even Anurag bhai will run out of popcorn!” 🍿😆
