Priyanka Chopra on bad films: Garbage in, garbage out

Priyanka Chopra
KAMINEY has opened to a bumper response all and even though it is looking at a belated release in Mumbai and Pune, the reviews and the positive feedback so far have ensured that it is all set to be a huge success at the box office. While everyone from Vishal Bhardwaj as well as Shahid Kapur has been hailed for their exemplary work in the film, Priyanka Chopra too has contributed in her own way to KAMINEY, even though she is seen in a relatively lesser duration in the film when compared to others.

Now she is quite positive that there is a change happening for better. She observes that while good films are working, bad films, despite top star cast and huge budget, are being disapproved by the audience.

''It's as simple as that - Garbage in, garbage out'', she says, ''Thankfully India is changing for better and there are some brilliant films being made today.''

Ask her to give a few examples and she responds in a jiffy, ''Movies like DEV D, JODHAA AKBAR, ROCK ON and A WEDNESDAY have worked because they had an original script and were treated so differently and innovatively. These were all intelligent films and not made for kindergarten kids. No wonder, audiences grabbed them all in a big way.''

She doesn't forget to mention her own movies from 2008 that saw her marching back into the reckoning.

''Both DOSTANA and FASHION were made within commercial parameters but still had a very good story to tell'', she smiles, ''These were not frivolous at all. That's the reason they succeeded.''

''In fact the last film that really impressed me this year was NEW YORK'. Kudos to Yash Raj Films for backing such a subject and making such a good topical entertainer. It was a sensitive story to be told and Kabir Khan treated it with utmost maturity. Hats off. These are the kind of films that make you believe that Bollywood is indeed seeing a new direction for better'', she ends on a positive note.
