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.

  • Sir, u should nt make such type of statement, Actually u do not have rights to asked like this,,,,, coz u r not true person as concerned as Box office collection.

    Frst u manipulate Fake collection of krish3 trade/Actual 170cr to Rakesh calculated 244cr. When this news going to viral, HR was very angry wid Rakesh Roshan & HR was so upset.

    2nd wid Bang Bang,,,,, vs Haider. Again manipulation by rakesh’s Calculator, Trade/Actual 158cr to Rakesh calculator’s 181cr.

    &

    Now. Kaabil vs Raees. Frst day Trade/most bolly news sites/ actual expected 7-8cr but Rakesh’ calculator agin manipulated collection toh 10.67cr.
    2nd day Trade/Other bolly sites/actual collection was 14-16cr, Rakesh calculator again manipulated wid 18cr.

    Rakesh u can learn How to gave actual and real box office collection from Haider makers, Raees makers. Actually Raees’s 1st n 2nd day collection are very close to even below Trade expected collection. And this time Rakesh manipulated abt 8cr in 2days.

    Rakesh crying like small boy that he didnt get 50-50%. Rakesh give me one simple answer. R u raised this Screen allocation question when Bang Bang & Haider was release? Haider also had rights 50% screen against Bang Bang. Tb aapne Haider ko 50% screen diye.? Aapne question kyu ni uthaya k Haider makers ko b nuksaan ho skta hai hume unhe 50% dena chahiye? Jb khudke business ki baat aayi Rakesh ko sb chalta hai, jb dusre kamaane lag gye toh Industry is getting dirtier waaah raakesh waaah….

    U r one the best director of Indi cinema bt ur activity not healthy nor u good for future of Hindi Cinema, disgusting Shame on u.

    Khudke Girebaam me zaanklo Rakesh saaheb. Jinke khudke kapde maile ho wo dusre k kapdo k daag naahi dikhaaye karte.

  • What the hell does he want now ?? He is the one who is making industry dirty by giving fake collections of his movie everyday and he is talking as if he is the most honest person !! I think he is an insecure person and just because he knows that kaabil lost the clash he is creating drama to attract attention !! Bang bang 3250 screens haider 1750 screens ?? Where were ur ethics when bang bang clashed with haider ??
    The truth is ur jaadoo calculator made son can never become a big star like srk and will always lose to him no katter what and u r not able to digest this fact !! The first day occupance of kaabil showed the stardom of ur son !! Srk forced u to add 3 crore to actual collection and that too on the opening day thats what is called real stardom !!
    Get a life Rakesh ji

  • Pehle achchi film banaya karo sir… phir rolena doosron par.. andhe ki picture banake sab ko deewana samajhte ho kya… so disappointed watching Kaabil..

  • Dear SRK fans,
    His problem is that he was promised a certain number of screens which were taken from him at the end..This the same problem that Ekta Kapoor and Akshay Kumar faced at the time of OUATIMD release and this problem led to it flopping as well..And this is also the same problem that Ajay Devgn faced at the time of SOS release. And this is the same problem that Bajirao Mastani was facing but it got saved due to Eros Now being smart.. So do u SRK fans see what is common about all these people’s problems..?? It is the fact that time and again SRK has played dirty in clashes..
    Thank you for your time in reading this

  • I reaslly respect hritik but what happens to rakesh roshan.. When less shows are not getting house why will any one give more shows to kaabil.. If movie is good it will success.. Like BM did.. Stop crying.

  • When srk announced Raees they tried there best to avoid clash after back to back meetings with kaabil maker but then Rakesh sir was saying that we are trying to make good film and I don’t think calsh will matter. Bit now changed his opinion and srk is responsible for all loses.

  • Rakesh uncle apna sagaa wala toh hai nahi still most of the things what he said are true. Nowadays people like SRK, Kjo use relations for business and self gains. At least Ajay Devgan shows his disliking openly unlike SRK who always consider Hrithik as friend & family but clashes with his movie. There was time for Kjo, Kajol was more than a friends and now he does not want to see her face and cast her just because she stood with her husband instead of friend. Fake people and fake world !!!!!!!!

  • Where were you when haider got very less screens than bang bang, answer my question?
    That time industry was ok ha. Burbak

  • Yes industry is getting dirtier and u r getting funnier.. Sir u remind me of a girl from my office who cries for very small/no reason.. We call her “radule”

  • Mr sr Roshan, what point you are trying to prove? That whole industry is dirty of course except you.
    This is bull shit. @Indicine why are you wasting your time on such a useless articles? The man is losing his senses with age.

  • And sir where were u when ur sons movie was given 70:30 ratio at the time of haider bb clash.. On top you gave them ur calculator to use on rent

  • Sir Rakesh

    This is simply a strategy. I have been supporting Kaabil all the way out but here the clash happened and Raees is more costly and the industry believes that Raees will not be a crowd puller for days as it is relying purely on fandom and stardom.so they have to recover certain cost through Raees, therefore it is evident that more screens to be given to Raees….As for Kaabil the industry knows well that it is a guaranteed profit film they will give more screens later as definitely Raees will be falling considerably

  • haven’t seen both films yet but it seems that both are good films belonging to different genres….

    Just wonder WHY did SRK and Excel choose to clash…….13th January with Lohri and Pongal would have been perfect………

    By releasing on 25th, not only did they clash but also remember that in two weeks another big film in Jolly LLB is planned……Sr. Roshan puts it correctly – everyone in business and also the audience have lost out due to this SILLY decision!!!

  • Only salman and KING KHAN haters are thinking rakeshji is right.because KING KHAN is their jaan e dushman.

    But the thing KING KHAN hasn’t any way to postpone RAEES MOVIE further after much longer delay.that’s why HE went near Rakeshji to convince him to sort out the situation.

    But rakeshji was such a egoistic person that he gave excuse by saying ,he can’t delayed because of his superstition.is it a point to justify,how right you’re ????

    So what’s tge benefit of crying now?when you refused to delay your movie,KING KHAN left the place.bu you thought he’ll postpone.

    But can you tell me why you declared republic release when you knew that Ajay will come with baadshaho?so at that time you were right !!!!

    and poor jadootards are giving excuses that baadshaho producer has already said rakeshji that they’re.postpone.but baadshaho postponed at that time when RAEES joined the clash.tehre were no such evidences that can prove baadshaho team confirmed to that Rakeshji.

    So even if rakeshji will do things,h e is right.if others will do the same thing,then they’ll be wrong!!!!what a crappy jadoo logic????

    And don’t try to threaten us.because no one wants to see your movies anymore.please retire ,so that audience can save themselves from being tortured.

    And you also told lie that you gave KING KHAN break in KING AUNCLE.meanwhile DEEWANA was HIS DEBUT and KING AUNCLE was HIS supporting role.

    If I’M describe you with one word rakeshji —-this is “lier”.you’re a big hypocrite lier in your whole life rakeshji.you lost the respect from all Indians.

    And don’t forget hrithik beaten all stars in last decades means all—-aamir,akshay,sakamn in last decade in star ranking besides ONLY ONE MAN—-HE IS KING KHAN.

    and till now hrithik never came closer to KING KHAN’S POWER.so do you really think you’ll get 50? screen against THE BIGGEST MEGASTAR OF INDIAN FILM INDUSTRY OF ALL TIME—-KING SRK???

    And from behind you are well known for manipulating film collections then giving a good film.so stop crying auncleji.

    Even at this age too,KING SRK and salman can accept their friendship besides after so much fights.then who said there is no friendship inside the industry.

    here hrithik is junior to KING SRK.if he can’t respect just because RAEES can’t delay further,then why you’re expecting the same from your OPPONENT????why anyone will give sacrifiece for your bloody double standard/ hypocritical games????

    With increase in age,yiur grain cells damaged rakeshji.go and take rest in your home.because with out manipulation,you can’t provide something good to this industry.so better you retire about which you’re threatening.because nobody cares about you.so don’t cry/rant.because nobody gonna give you damn to you attention seeking manipulator.

  • This is bitter truth…if Raees was that much able then why no clash with Sultaan???cause Raees Team knew that They can’t get more screens against Salman!! but against HR it is possible!! so They did…if Kaabil would get same scrrens like Raees then collection would be 36(2 days) and difference would be much lesser!! no rocket science here also!! if This unfair screen distribution would happen with Raees thn They would also ‘cry’ like this…..so cut Your own skin & then only judge others’ pain!!

  • People over here bashing Rakesh Roshan for speaking his heart out !
    SRK is a backstabber ! Hrithik has always been a good friend among all superstars of Bollywood, but still he clashed his movie with Kaabil. To maintain his friendship with his friends (Aditya Chopra and Salman),he shifted his film and clashed with a movie of another friend I.e Hrithik.
    I mean what was the f###### need of shifting from a festive release and clashing with a another movie on republic day?
    Oh wait, he knew that his movie simply would not have stood against Sultan and he thought that Roshans are “Kamzor” and “easy to convince” for leaving their release date if he begs them like he did to Jeetendra Jee !
    But Roshan Sr is a strong person ! He didn’t leave his date for anyone’s “dadagiri” .

  • Shame on this pi* Rakesh Roshan !!!!!!
    First u should not have clashed with Raees because republic day isn’t your paternal property that u said it u owned it ,secondly psycho patient when u r movie clashed with Raees then keep your ugly mouth shut. If was in stead of SRK then I would have smashed his ugly with one punch !!
    Thirdly, your shamelessly inflating the figures by 3 cr every passing day and u talk about ethics and rights, u ugly loser ???
    Kaabil Wednesday 7 cr Thursday 15 cr total = 23 cr and u have shown it 28 cr u ugly loser !!!!!!!
    Better shut your mouth or I will do it .
    In the meantime, I won’t stop hating ugly Roshans not even if God asks me to stop.

  • and HR & Rakesh sir are 2 different persons…so obviously their ideology can be different!! RR is an Old School Film Maker…Our Parents & we are not in a same league(always) to judge Modern society!! so He is speaking about His thought only…and He is allowed to as He is the Man who is loosing Money!!so who r judging him as in-secured crying baby…they can think what our parents say about New age addictions & behavior sometimes!! shall we call them also looser,crying
    in-secured undignified persons????i think NO!!

  • What d hell he is talking about keep blaming srk just bcoz he has never blame his opponent when it’s clash everyone even a small star blame srk just bcoz other actors fans support them i think srk became a soft target for everyone even it’s a actor, director, producers & politicians some say he is deshdrohi some boycott his movie someone wants certificate of his deshbhakti and these people backed by others star fans but i want to say just stop yaar why are you targeting srk everytime ?? In a programme on aajtak with soldiers when reporter ask srk that does he fill loneliness? ? And missing your parents than srk said as you know he lost his parents in early age first but when people like some political leaders and person blame him ,making false allegations saying shit about me than i fell if my parents stay with me i stand them in front of others and say please give him reply these words from srk is enough itself that describe his sadness & loneliness

    Rakesh g has to understand it’s srk who suffer continously from clashes may be it was CE only 5 day open date jthj v/s sos, dilwale v/s bajirao. But he never say i quite this industry and blame other you came first time and saying ethics and blah blah where are you at the time of when haider schedule for gandhi jayanti your son came with bang bang why are you not blaming bang bang for 75 : 25 screen ratio. where are you at the time when badshaho already schedule for 26th jan plz stop to became a victim just for gaining sympathy u make kaabil on blind person sir trust even a blind person know the buzz of raees compare to kaabil and i think if kaabil came alone without clash than it’s not got this response and publicity bcoz from trailer it was look like a cheap product made in hurry but all credit goes to you for making its interesting by ranting continously bad against srk and got sympathy . Don’t forget it’s srk when every one in industry support rustum by posting videos on twitter stay away from it and not taking anyone side just bcoz he want viewers to decide which movie they want to see

    It’s srk who take initiative and went to meet you to avert this clash even he know than some haters said him bhagoda coward. And believe me if you wanted than this thing is never happen you had to understand when he announced for 26th jan you had lot’s of work to do even you didn’t have a poster so if you wanted then easily select any other date but very smartly in hurry you came with a poster of eyes and realise date on it very next date when raees makers announce that date if you say yourself so called friend of srk that you had to understand his problem that his movie was already delay against your 60day making movie so plz now stop you ethic drama we all know how big dramebaz you are? first krish3 dream and Christmas 2018 realised date than saying that you had already lost 150cr. Just bcoz raees sir tell me with a movie of 25cr budget(reported by you) how can loss 150cr ?? So plzz all fan base just stop supporting him just bcoz u hate srk maintain yours dignity

  • As for the screen count distribution , he might be right on the point that Kaabil has been affected. But more number screens always go to those movies which has more buzz ! Raees was a bigger movie and it had more buzz and therefore it got more screens and shows !
    As Kaabil is being liked its shows should increase . If it doesn’t, it would be unfair. But that doesn’t mean Kaabil should have got equal shows despite less interest right from the opening day !
    As people are saying Kaabil is better than Raees , shows may increase! let’s see..

  • Indicine also Knows screen allocation can be controlled from respective camps based on their strength & Hold!!Rakesh sir is not a ‘kid’ in the industry….so He is speaking with prove!!but as Now there is a clash SRK fans will not admit that until Their Idol face similar treatment one day!!

  • BTW SRK is quoting tweets of people showing pic of purchasing Raees black tickets ! So he is supporting illegal activities for his dhanda !

  • and there is so much fuss about screen allocation evenly this time cause Both The Movies r commercial!! so Loosing screen is hurting…simple…but ya We all are(including me also) hypocrites in defending our idols’ Work or creation or statement!!

  • I will go for both d movies: 1st #raees with friends to enjoy? . 2nd #kaabil with gf to get benefit of empty hall????

  • Uncle ko koi samjao ke….

    Rustom vs Daro
    aur
    Bang bang vs Haider k time Hritik film ko zyada screen mile tab ethics kaha gue hue the???

    My Questions is why don’t you aver the clash ? this
    date is not your father date , anybody can come on
    release the movie . you are simply looser and will
    always remain looser , Krish 3 collection is 179 cr but
    your own calculater made 240 cr and Bang Bang 141 cr
    you make 181 cr now again for Kabil 8 cr opening but
    you made it 10-43 you don’t have a shame at all .
    shame on you and you lost the clash with Akashya
    Kumar … this clash is already lost you movie will be
    flop anyway”

    For whom did this moron write the comment? For Hrithik ? or for Rakesh Roshan?
    This guy has again proved that many Bollywood buffs still lack a brain!
    I mean what has Rakesh uncle to do with Mohenjodaro and Bang Bang ? Fool.
    And how did he know, “Krrish 3 collected 179 crores???”
    How did he know, “Bang Bang collected 141 crores????”
    How did he know, “Kaabil opened with only 8 crores???”

    I mean , “HOW?”
    Is that guy a GOD ? OR Does he have some superpower to know everything??

    What’s the meaning of “Manipulation” ? It’s the act of controlling and changing stuffs with dishonesty and unfairness for personal gain in a skillful way!

    “If one can over report a figure from 175 crores to 244 crores for maintaining the so called prestige even with those extra tax of 70 crores” , “one can underreport the figure as well from 244 crores to 175 crores hiding the personal bias against someone ” !

    So just like this loser is blaming Roshan , it would be more sensible to blame BOI as well..
    BOI Facts:
    Koi Mil Gaya was a blockbuster, but after 10 years, they termed it as a Super hit .
    Mohra was termed as a blockbuster after 20 years!
    Guzaarish is a disaster now, initially it was Flop.
    Welcome is no more a Blockbuster.
    Jodha Akbar is a Semi hit for them.
    And many more verdicts which get changed by them from year to year !
    Then why the F### One should blindly support BOI ???
