Anil Kapoor on Hindi film industry going through a rough patch: There will be good and bad times

Anil Kapoor, who is back with part 2 of The Night Manager, recently spoke about the Hindi film industry’s unable to give back-to-back successes and films failing at the box office. The actor did say that the industry has gone through a rough patch.

As per Indian Express, Anil Kapoor said, “I have been working for so many years, my father (Surinder Kapoor) was also in this industry, so we’ve been here for around 60 years. Actors, directors, producers talking about films working and not working… yeh silsila toh kaafi saalo se chal raha hai (Such things keep happening). There are phases… for example for two years a particular type of films don’t work and people say industry bandh ho rahi hai (the industry is closing down). I myself have seen these phases five to six times in my career, but that doesn’t happen, it will never happen. It is just how every person sees ups and downs in their life, so it is the same with the business, there will be good and bad times.”

“I take it (the dull phase) positively because during the Covid-19 pandemic people have taken the time to try and understand how to work harder, do better and make good films. Films we’ll see now will be very good, the audience will like it. People learn a lot in such situations, and those who don’t, don’t survive. I think those who are sincere and honest with their work and know their job, who know their craft, for them, there’s nothing to get scared about, they just have to keep working. Films will be made, if the films are good then the audience will come to watch it, they are watching good films,” Anil said.

The Night Manager season 2 premiered on June 29 on Disney+ Hotstar.

CBFC allows Ghapa Ghap in Ranbir Kapoors Sanju but CENSORS the slang in Kartik Aaryan-Kiara Advani starrer Satyaprem Ki Katha

Satyaprem Ki Katha has finally released today in cinemas with a lot of expectations. It stars Kartik Aaryan and Kiara Advani and just last year, they delivered a blockbuster in the form of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 (2022). Hence, trade, industry and their fans are hoping Satyaprem Ki Katha to also score big at the box office. On June 24, it was reported that the love story had secured a U/A certificate from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). The reports further mentioned that the length of the film is 146.02 minutes, that is, 2 hours, 26 minutes and 2 seconds.

Bollywood Hungama has now laid its hands on the cut list. Before granting the censor certificate, the CBFC asked for 7 changes. The members of the Examining Committee asked the word ‘Cheliyaan’ to be replaced with ‘Saheliyaan’ from the lyrics ‘Radhe Ki Cheliyaan’ in the song ‘Gujju Pataka’. ‘Ek shot’ was deemed inappropriate and was replaced by ‘Ek baar’. Interestingly, the dialogue, in its original form, can be seen in the trailer.

Thirdly, the words ‘Ghapa Ghap’ were muted from the ‘Uske pehle toh dono ghapa ghap…’ dialogue. It was the 2018 blockbuster Sanju, starring Ranbir Kapoor, that made the words ‘Ghapa Ghap’ famous. In the Sanjay Dutt biopic, Vicky Kaushal’s character utters the phrase and it was slang for sex. Yet, it was allowed by the CBFC then and the film was given a U/A certificate. But the same words were deleted in Satyaprem Ki Katha.

Coincidentally Satyaprem Ki Katha releases on June 29, the same day as Sanju. Moreover, Nawazuddin Siddiqui-Neha Sharma starrer Jogira Sara Ra Ra, which was released last month, on May 26, also had ‘Ghapa Ghap’ in a dialogue and it was removed by the CBFC.

That’s not all. ‘Dirty mind’ was muted in the dialogue ‘Dirty mind hai aapka Katha ji’. The label of ‘Phenyl’ was asked to be removed wherever it is shown in the film. Lastly, the makers were asked to submit documentary evidence for the stats mentioned at the end of the film. After these changes were made, the censor certificate was granted to the makers of Satyaprem Ki Katha on June 13.
