Mrs Bachchan expressed her thoughts on her son’s recently released film at the recently held Tata Literature Live Mumbai LitFest. Read on to know more…
Jaya Bachchan is known for her brutal honesty. Where the same doesn’t go down well with some, there are others who appreciate her upfront attitude. Amitabh Bachchan’s better half was seen talking about “the failure of literature in current cinema” at the Tata Literature Live Mumbai LitFest recently. Giving an example of her son Abhishek Bachchan’s film Happy New Year, the veteran actress said, ” HNY is the most nonsensical film I’ve seen in recent years. I said that to the film’s lead actor as well. I watched it only because Abhishek was part of it. I told him he’s a great actor if he can act stupid in front of the camera like that. I can’t be part of what is being done in films these days and hence I don’t do films anymore.”
Boy do her words cut like a knife! Talking further about the current scenarios of cinema in Bollywood, Mrs Bachchan said, ” Unfortunately cinema today is about business, not art. We call good films art house cinema. What does that even mean? All cinema is art.”
Kudos to the Silsila fame for being true to her opinion. Regarding her work in the years gone by, Jaya Bachchan has given us some splendid hits like Guddi, Sholay, Kal Ho Naa Ho etc. What do you have to say about her critique against Happy New Year? Post in your comments below!
