Indra Kumar’s Total Dhamaal has grossed Rs 150 crore at the box office and is still counting. However, filmmaker Tigmanshu Dhulia was not happy with the film and called it a trash. He took a dig at Total Dhamaal and said, “There used to be a director called Dada Kondke, who was a super hit filmmaker. All his films used to do really well but they were watched by the frontbenchers, the labour class. No one from the respectable family used to go and watch those films. Now suddenly you see these Dhamaals and all these films, whose trailers itself have so much trash, filth, earn Rs 200 crore. That means they are being watched by the multiplex audience.”
Now, Indra Kumar who returned to directing after three years has reacted on Dhulia’s comments and said to Times Now, “I’ve not read what he said but people told me. That’s his perception. I can’t go and change his views about a film. Jinko achchi lagti unko achchi lagti hai, jinko buri lagti hai woh gaali dete hain. That’s a part of life.”
He further added, “I respect his opinion and judgement. Usko nahin samajh mein aaya toh somewhere it must have hurt his sensibilities.”
Meanwhile Total Dhamaal has become Indra Kumar’s highest grossing movie and second highest movie of Ajay Devgn. Earlier when the trailer was released it received flak from audience and critics, but the movie is going strong at the box office.
