Hindi films have 'no substance', says Naseeruddin Shah!

Veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah said, "We take pride in saying that the Hindi cinema is 100 years old," while he was at a function. However, he asserts that filmmakers have been producing identical movies. A media source quoted him telling, “It really disappoints me. I have stopped watching Hindi films, I don't like them at all,” the Dedh Ishqiya actor opined.
The 73-year-old actor continued by saying that the reason Hindi movies are viewed so widely is because they allow Indians to feel a connection to their heritage. But everyone will eventually lose patience if things carry on in the same way and at the same pace. “Hindustani food is loved everywhere because it has substance. What substance do Hindi films have? Yes, they are being watched everywhere. They say, 'How exotic, how Indian, how colourful'. Soon they will be bored of it because there is no substance,” he stated.
The actor’s filmography boasts of over a hundred films across languages. Some of them that helped him make it big in the industry are Umrao Jaan, Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro, Hero Hiralal, Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa, Omkara, A Wednesday!, The Dirty Picture, and others. He also directed the drama film Yun Hota Toh Kya Hota.
