Though the box office is back on its feet after the disastrous lockdown period, the pattern has undergone a change. While the big-scale films are performing better than before, the small and mid-sized films are still struggling. This year though it was better for such films.

There’s still an audience that has the perception that films would arrive on OTT even though an eight-week gap is there. We at PVR are trying hard to remove that perception.” He added, “12th Fail (2023) is an exception. It was a brilliant film and did over Rs. 80 crores. Laapataa Ladies could have easily (gone over Rs. 80 crores). I found Madgaon Express very funny. But it collected Rs. 35 crores. Crew

Anurag Kashyap celebrates the drama of the grotesque with the relish of a 7-‘coarse’ meal. No details in the non-stop brutality are kept off camera. We can count the number of thuds and stabbing sounds every time a victim is cornered and done to death. Violence on this level has never really been a part of mainstream Hindi cinema before.

From its bludgeoning opening when merciless marauders ambush a powerful enemy's fortress-like home with army-like meticulousness, Gangs Of Wasseypur takes us into a world where compassion is a dinosaur, forgiveness a faux pas, and kindness an unforgivable sin.
