Subhash Ghai on how cinema content has changed over the years

During the exclusive interview, Subhash Ghai was asked about how the preference of people has changed in terms of plot and genres from the time he began directing. Responding to this Subhash Ghai said, “For those who have grown up in the 90s, Hindi Cinema meant films replete with themes of revenge, drama, and, of course, romance. It was a time of larger-than-life characters, of charismatic heroes saving charming heroines from devious villains. It was the era of my youth and one that will forever remain in my heart.”

Talking about how the preference for content has changed over the years, Subhash Ghai further added, “But audience tastes inevitably change, and the themes and plots of films have changed to reflect that. While we still have the occasional film that draws from the past, we now have access to a much wider range of films that cover all sorts of topics; horror, biographies, thrillers, and historical films. We also have many films that tackle important social topics and seek to convey a message to its viewers, rather than merely entertain them. This is a fantastic change and one that makes me very excited about the future of the industry.”
