Kajol explains why 90s Hindi movies had a greater shot at changing into a ‘hit’

Actor Kajol, who lately celebrated 25 years of her hit movie Gupt, has mentioned that motion pictures had a greater shot at changing into hits within the 90s. In a chat with Pinkvilla, Kajol shared that for the reason that viewers didn’t have many choices for leisure, they’d respect the flicks they noticed on the cinema corridor.

The DDLJ actor mentioned that again within the 90s “it was easier for a film to become a hit”. She added, “I wouldn’t take the credit away from us and say that we did not make a good film but I would say that there was only one mode of entertainment at that time. There was only one thing that you could do. You could only go to the theatre to watch a film. There was no YouTube, there was no OTT, there was no TV as well. So that was the only thing that people had.”

It is extraordinary in at this time’s instances for a movie to remain in theatres for 25 weeks however many movies of the 90s achieved this feat efficiently. Recalling these days, Kajol mentioned, “Films did do 25 weeks. There were silver jubilees. In fact they happened quite easily. There were at least 4-5 silver and golden jubilees in one year. It was easier. People had a lot less to remember so they remembered it much better.”

Kajol began her profession with the 1992 movie Bekhudi and established herself within the 90s with motion pictures like Baazigar, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Pyaar To Hona Hi Tha and Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, amongst others.

She will subsequent be seen in Revathi directorial Salaam Venky.
