Shah Rukh Khan and Sunny Deol’s films Pathaan and Gadar 2 gave the Indian box office a much-needed boost in 2023. While many Hindi films were struggling to perform at the Indian box office in the past few years, Pathaan and Gadar 2 made the audiences storm into the theatres in big numbers and made these films all-time blockbusters. In a recent interview, veteran actor and MP Hema Malini spoke about the reason why these two films went on to achieve such milestones and emerged as the highest-grossing films in the history of Hindi cinema.
Hema Malini recently said that she is happy with the return of Hindi films at the box office. The actor, who is also a film producer and director, said that audiences want to watch films on the big screen to enrich the cinematic experience. The actor also said the OTT platforms are preferred as “time-pass” by the audiences
Films on the big screen are very different, from what we are used to. I’m used to that kind of film, the big screen. So, this OTT and web series are all nice for time pass, but I don’t know how wonderful it is,” the actor said in an interview with PTI.
Speaking about the year’s biggest hits Gadar 2 and Pathaan, Hema Malini added, “That’s why when Gadar 2 and Pathaan and all came on the big screen, they were all a hit. People love to see the big screen which is different from the small screen.”
