Salman Khan’s ‘Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai’ did make it in time for the EID release but it has been garnering some pretty disappointing reviews.
Recently, controversy had erupted after KRK had claimed he was being sued over Radhe review; wherein he had compared the movie to coronavirus.
He WASN’T – the defamation case was actually filed for alleging that Salman was involved in fraud and money laundering through Being Human. Now, that’s one issue that’s been clarified.
However, an interesting piece of news has now been floating around; it seems Salman’s own father, the veteran screenwriter Salim Khan thinks ‘Radhe IS NOT a great film at all’!
(Salim Khan-Javed Akhtar writing duo has been known for giving Bollywood iconic hits like Sholay, Zanjeer, Deewaar and Don)
Talking to Dainik Bhaskar, Salim Khan said – “The film prior to this Dabangg 3 was different. Bajrangi Bhaijaan was good and totally different. Radhe is not a great film at all, but commercial cinema has a responsibility that every person can get money. From artists to producers, distributors, exhibitors and every stakeholder should get the money. The one who buys the cinema must get the money. Due to this, the cycle of cinema making and business goes on. On this basis, Salman has performed. Stakeholders of this film are in advantage. Otherwise, Radhe is not that great a film.”
He further went on to say that there are no good writers in the industry and alleged that it hasn’t found the replacement for Salim-Javed yet!
“A big problem of the film industry is that there are no good writers here. The reason for this is that the writers do not read literature in Hindi or Urdu. They see anything outside and get involved in Indianising it. The film Zanjeer was a game-changer of Indian cinema. That film made Indian cinema come back on the right path. But since then, the industry has not received the replacement of Salim-Javed yet. In such a situation, what can Salman do?”
What do you think about his statement?
Directed by Prabhudeva, Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai also stars Disha Patani, Randeep Hooda and Jackie Shroff. It is available for streaming on Zee Plex.
