'Dunki' actor Vikram Kochhar raises concerns about catering to irrational desires, cautioning against amplifying negative aspects solely for mass appeal

'Dunki' actor Vikram Kochhar raises concerns about catering to irrational desires, cautioning against amplifying negative aspects solely for mass appeal. He emphasizes that art shouldn't be pitted against itself and discusses the surge in male-driven action films dominating Indian theaters, citing examples like 'Pathaan,' 'Jawan,' 'Gadar 2,' 'Leo,' 'Jailer,' and the recent blockbuster 'Animal.' Kochhar speculates on the success of male-driven action films, suggesting that the audience's anger, frustration, and vengeful sentiments may contribute to the genre's popularity, potentially influenced by the current political climate and global conflicts. He also highlights the responsibility films have towards their audience, citing examples like Satyajit Ray's films. Despite the box office competition with 'Salaar,' Kochhar expresses confidence that 'Dunki,' directed by Rajkumar Hirani, will have enduring appeal, continuing to attract audiences even after its initial theatrical run.
