Nawazuddin Siddiqui Feels Audience's Taste In Films Has Changed For The Worse Post-Pandemic

The massive success of South Indian content in the North has triggered various discussions across the nation. Films like Pushpa: The Rise, RRR and the recent, KGF: Chapter 2 have performed exceptionally well in North India and various South actors have said that the focus should be on making 'pan-India' films.?

Bollywood actors have defended their industry, with some saying that this is only a phase and that Bollywood's position remains unchanged.?

Amidst all this, actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui has a different point to raise. He says that had thought that after the pandemic when theatres re-opened, audience would have a refined taste when it came to films. However, the actor told NDTV that there has been a change indeed but it is for the worse.?

He said, "I felt the audience will mature after the pandemic and lockdown because they would have seen good international cinema. Change has come but it's for the worse."

Further talking about the basis on which films are appreciated and criticised, he said, "When a film does well everyone joins in and praises it even more, if a film doesn't collect good money people criticise it more.

"This is like fashion, now if a Bollywood film becomes a big hit then all these talks will change. I think this is just a trend."
