Industry is getting dirtier and going backwards: Rakesh Roshan

Veteran Filmmaker Rakesh Roshan has said the industry is getting dirtier and going backwards as time progresses. He also said clashes are no longer ethical as his latest film ‘Kaabil’ was only given 40% of screens, the rest of which went to the other release this weekend Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Raees’.

Talking to DNA India, Roshan said “I thought this industry will get mature day by day with all the corporate coming in. But it is getting dirtier and dirtier and we are going backwards”

“I have told them to avoid such clashes because it’s not good and ethical for the film. The producers are losing, distributors are losing, exhibitors are losing, audience is losing, who has so much money to go and watch two films? You are depriving so many people of so many things. Only way to go about it is by going 50-50. So that others when they come with such clashes they will think twice.”

Remembering the olden days in the industry when the industry was close-knit family, Roshan said times have changed and people only put up a nice face in front of the media.

“Everything is getting dirty and unethical. No professionalism, no friendship, it’s (Bollywood) not a close knit family at all. It was in my time. Jeetendra, me and Rishi Kapoor are best of friends even today. That was the industry we were working in. Now just shaking hands that also we don’t know what they mean. Putting up a smile and kissing each other’s cheeks in front of the media. That’s not friendship.” he said.

  • Worlds no 1 manipulator hero is on a red hot t-shirt. Kudos to this calc. Hero. Each day 3cr extra kamaai. Krish was 176 he made that 224. Now its d time for kaabil. Yaay!!

  • Taklu why are you crying always ??

    Just one question to you Where were you at the time of Rustam Vs Mjd & Bang Bang Vs Haider clash ???

    Why You have nt said a single word when Rustom & Haider got less screens ???

    Watched Kaabil today.. Worst movie.. Time & money waste.. 0.5/5 *
    N Rakesh Uncle stop your Ra*** Rona

  • Do not worry it is kaliyug. Do not expect much goodness from everyone. Do your best and kaabil is hrithik’s best.

  • If you are crying so much then why you did not avert the clash ??
    Why you expect them to avoid clash ??

    And You Said You & Rishi kapoor are frnds.. then why he did nt play the fater of HR in koi mil gaya ???

  • I thought he spent years in this industry & can understand how business works but this man is just silly … he said there shouldn’t be clashes between big films thn you should’ve pushed Kaabil this man spent his whole life in Bollywood still he cant understand that RAEES cant be pushed further bcoz. They already shifted .. it was ROKESH turns to show he’s mature & senior in this industry they could’ve easily shifted KAABIL to another date by saying they’ve not finished the film but RAeEs makers can’t afford to push

  • I dont get
    If someone moves his movie from a clash like srk did with salman then he is called a coward.
    But if he faces the clash like a man then you say that he’s playing dirty?
    And you are the sameone who manipulated the collections of all films?
    Even kabil’s trade collections are first day 8 crs and second day 15 but you said 10 and 18.
    Feeling sad for hirthik

  • rakesh roshan is right
    look at wat srk has to say about this
    ,

    “I always keep my friendship and business separate and I feel It should be like that.

    one thing is that srk is very selfish person
    thats why one the time of jthj vs sos
    time ajay goes to court to get equal screens
    shame srk shame

    i feel very sad for srk fans how much they love srk but srk loves only money u all fans are only for making money .

  • This dirty man Rakesh Roshan started manupulating the collections of Kaabil..

    According to BOI
    1st day- 7.75 cr
    2nd day- 15.50 cr

    Producer Fig
    1st day- 10.43 cr
    2nd day- 18.63 cr

    MANIPULATION- 6 Cr in Two Day

    This man should be exposed.. The most insecure person.. This man should be punished for Using Jadoo Calculator..
    (Indicine post my comment if u are a unbiased website)

  • RAKESHJI..WITH YOUR SUCH BEHAVIOUR YOU ARE BECOMING THREAT FOR YOUR SON ITSELF…. BE CALM AND ENJOY…
    PLZZ DONT BE AJAY DEVGN HERE..

  • Papa Roshan gone Mad …..

    i am though Fan of Srk and I say its really unethical to clash for SRK and hrithik and makers of Raees has done bad decision of clash thats correct .But after that Kaabil should be prepone or postponed by a week don’t really affects film like Kaabil it still collection more than 150cr in normal week .But here papa roshan is overconfidence with the film .
    giving number of screen is based upon Exhibitors not producers Raees makers are sold their film in 65 cr and they encashed it .But exhibitors have their own decisions to divide screens ..
    Dangal is still running and taking space why ?

    Both films are meant for 150 200cr film respectively but clash makes loss .Raees makers cant afford further delay but kaabil makers should but Rakesh ji has overconfidence and now he is further hypocrisy.

    same happen during Dutt and TZH .so its part of business thats all and everyone has a right to sell his product whether its good or Bad .people who decides to buy it or notso chill Rakesh ji u r now 75 so keep sit at home dont add ur mind in young kids

  • Rakesh Roshan plz stop all your dramas.. Why are you crying everywhere ?? Dont u hv any dignity ?? Raees makers didnt even spoken a word against you ???

    Bcoz of this man I started hating Hritik.. How insecure can someone be like..

    Why didnt you speak a single word when Rustom & Mdj , Bang Bang & Haider didnt get equal screens ???

    And If u r so much in pain.. then Why didnt you shift kaabil ???

    And Plz Stop Manupulating Kaabil’s collection.. He has already manupulated 6cr in 2 days.. While Raees figure is exact as BOI..

    SHAMELESS ROSHAN.. CRYING LIKE A SMALL BABY. CHEAP

  • Its true if he was so concerned with screens he should have never clashed with raees and should have avert the clash why he is making them responsible he and his ego is more responsible for this low opening.

  • To be honest, SRK has done this before to Jeetendra. He is a proper businessman, no longer an actor. His latest is very disappointing and a dull thriller. The only good thing about the movie was Nawaz.
    #SRKNotAnActor

  • Looks like Papa Roshan forget what they did to Haider … Haider was a Classic and Bang Bang was crap but still screen distribution was 75 25 in favour of Bang Bang ….
    What happened to your ethics that time

  • @indicine, what is your say about the game played against roshans regarding BO collection? According to your estimate , you said 1st day collection was close to 10cr and 2nd day collection could be around 18.5 cr including tamil and telegu. Also, the official collections are close to that estimate. but, few people in trade are saying that roshans have inflated. Whats your take on this? Also, can kaabil get some more shows as the WOM seems to be incredible? Please answer this

  • MANIPULATION KING CRYING NOW..

    RAEES 47 cr
    Kaabil 24 cr (BOI)

    But This man Manupulated Kaabil by 6 cr in two days.. You are the most ugliest & insecure person in the industry..

    Why You Were silent when Mahenjodaro got more screens than Rustom ?? At that time you didnt say anything.. now why are you crying taklu

  • I concur with his thoughts but there is no point making them in media..
    Things will just gonna get ugly..
    I think what really is disappointing for Rakesh Roshan is behaviour of excel as Farhan is supposedly childhood pal of Hrithik. To go with that exhibitors promised and din stick to it..

  • Screens r divided by looking at the buzz and genre of a movie …your movie opened to 20% screens and still u want 50% screens? Lol 40% is perfect for a medium buzz medium buzz movie kaabil.

    Your mind is getting dirtier…! ?

  • Oh stop it Mr Roshan. Being such a senior member in the industry you didn’t show any maturity in such a matter. You are the one who is being jealous n crying from day one. Kaabil is a nice movie its winning hearts. Hrithik handled the clash much better way than you sir. Its you who makes things dirtier from day one. So stop this now. Anyone can release film on any date they want to. N its ethical n understandable that Raees releases on that day we all know why. Celebrate success of Kaabil n stop crying. N as Raees said “Jo dhande ke liye sah wo sahi… Jo dhande ke liye galat wo galat…”
    Your movie is better than Raees but People love SRK more than your movie…

  • Rakesh Roshan is the most arrogant and looser in the Bollywood history , if you are a really man than why don’t you shift your bladdy movie , as the entire world is witness what happened the your sons last movie with Akashy Kumar . stop crying and be a man if you are really a man then stop crying like baby . Raees team also affected by the clash but how dignity they are been . they never call the media and crying . crying he sign on poorness and cheapness which you have been proven many time eighter manipulated box office collection or other things to . if you even have little self respect to call a man then for god shake please stop crying . and one more thing you cry doesn’t stop Raees to become a highest grosser of January of hindi cinema and . please try to respect women the entire world knew how you and your cheater son deal with a girl and daughter Kangana Ranawt . no one forget that Mr Cheap . manipulated always is not a business try to be a real . success and failure if part of life but faking is not a part of life only like you cheap people do that . SHAME , SHAME AND SHAME ON YOU .

  • Bollywood’s dirtiest person is saying that our industry is dirty.
    Someone please tell Rakesh Roshan that our industry is not dirty , but his mind is dirty . He totally jealous of Raees . He is not behaving like a dignified person.
    He is manipulating figures and this shows how dirty his mind is .
    So PLEASE dont watch Kaabil . Rakesh is trying to cheat on people but people should become aware and stop watching Kaabil. This would be a prefect lesson for such a cheater .

  • After losing the clash , here’s how roshan started manipulation.
    Kaabil:
    boi First day: 8cr
    Trade figure: 8.2cr
    Roshan figure: 10.5cr

    Boi 2nd day: 15cr
    Trade figure: 16cr
    Roshan figure: 19.5cr

    While raeees on the other hand showing same figure wether it is indicine, boi , taran adrash.

    King of manipulation: roshans

    Krissh 3 : 176 cr trade figure
    Roshan figure: 244cr

    Kaabil is following the same trend.

  • Too Much Rona-Dhona!!! Someone please tell Rakeshji to behave like a mature man not 10 years old kid. The clash is already happened. He should accept it silently rather than taking a dig at everyone..

  • It is true but sad. Since most of people are fans of khans they are not understanding the industry standing. All actors in Bollywood needs equal space and opportunity!!!!…if khans always take away all holidays when will other actors prove themselves. It is not that other actors don’t have the potential to make as big as Khans. But it is khans who are not allowing them to do so. For e.g. whenever other actors got a chance to release their movies during these big festivals they have done better. Examples:
    Hrithik – Krish 3 – Diwali – 200 + crores
    Akshay – Rustom – Independence Day – 120 + crores
    Hrithik – Bang Bang – 180 Crores
    Ranveer – BM – Christmas – 180 Crores
    Ranbir – YJHD – post Ipl – 180 crores
    Ajay – Golmaal – Diwali – 100 + crores
    Ajay – Singham – Independence Day – 100 + crores

    And if they are given more opportunities they will definitely excel as par with Khans and their movies will earn 200 + crores. If khans release their movies during non-holiday periods their movies may also struggle to cross 200 crores.

    I am not taking anything away from Khans especially Aamir Khan – he is incredible – his movies are always a treat to watch but there should be some guidelines in the industry e.g.
    1) Where every actor needs to have one festival release and one non festival release – some kind of rotation policy.
    2) Once who announces the date first will retain that date. No other movie should be released on same date.

    Hope the industry moves in right direction going forward.

  • This guy is the biggest cry baby I have ever seen. Makes no sense at all.

    Where was your ethics when u got more screens for Mohenjodaro while clashing with Rustom. Why didn’t you share exact 50% with Rustom then? Did Akshay cry at that time?

    First he said I am superstitious and that is the reason for not changing release date. But then he pushed it back by one day to match Raees. As I said hemakes no sense at all.

    Hrithik looks more wiser and mature than his dad.
