Kangana Ranaut has shared her thoughts on why South Indian movies are doing better at the box office than Bollywood films. She believes one big reason is that many Hindi movies have lost touch with real life.
In an interview at Agenda Aaj Tak, Kangana was asked why films like Allu Arjun’s “Pushpa” are so popular. She stated, “I don’t think we should only call Bollywood mainstream.” She thinks all Indian films should be seen as part of one big industry that appeals to everyone.
Kangana explained that Allu Arjun’s role in “Pushpa” as a daily wage worker connects with people. “Bollywood actors live in a bubble,” she said, adding that they often ignore reality. Instead of focusing on real people, many in Bollywood are more interested in having perfect bodies, glamorous scenes, and catchy songs.
She argued that Bollywood movies often rely on flashy images rather than real-life struggles. According to her, if they took a reality check, they could create better films.
The “Pushpa” films have been a huge success. The first movie, “Pushpa: The Rise,” released in 2021, made over ₹136 crore in Telugu and an extra ₹106 crore for its Hindi version, making it Allu Arjun’s most successful film. The sequel, “Pushpa 2: The Rule,” continues the story of Pushpa Raj, showing his rise from a daily wage worker to running a smuggling operation. Rashmika Mandanna plays his supportive wife, Srivalli, while Fahadh Faasil portrays the determined police officer Bhanwar Singh Shekawat who wants to take down Pushpa.
