It was really good to see Aditya Chopra talking, the pioneer of Hindi cinema, and Indian cinema as well, who bought us DDLJ, Dhoom, all these time he has been at the forefront of the trajectory of the industry itself, and I think his contribution is huge as a creative producer of YRF than the director, IDK, if that's correct because DDLJ still running in theatres is not a small feat and this kinda feat is never achieved by any filmmaker at all, he's the only kind. The film running in north India is understandable but re-releases of it running in other non-Hindi speaking states is definitely an outlier and no other film even comes closer to this kinda achievement.
On favouritism/nepotism: after seeing him talk for the first time, it feels like Aditya Chopra hasn't been part of that usual group of Bollywood folks that has triggered this whole nepotism thing. 2 parts of his talk: 1. Saying that he doesn't want to get into that group that make films just to get awards and competing for awards wasn't for him, making the best films was only his goals; 2. When he said that he introduced Ranveer Singh just because he did well in his first audition and how he always relates to the common audience as he himself is an avid film goer and does so every Friday which in itself shows his passion for cinema as a whole.
Overall, it's a documentary where most Bollywood fraternities talk and it slightly gave a feeling that this documentary itself was made & released now to make people feel that there's no nepotism in Bollywood and how these people even hate saying Bollywood itself, a more like a brain-washer for the common audience but just with a little understanding of the current pathetic state of Hindi film industry, one could easily understand that this is again a gimmick by these people to instate the confidence in Bollywood but these pricks aren't still getting the point that nothing matters in the end except making good films and if they start doing it again, everything's gonna fall in place again, it's damn so simple but these people's brains are so fried out of popularity that they're not able to see/imagine this simple picture of their mind, god bless them.
But, if you're still reading to see if you should watch this documentary or not, I'd say you must if you're following Indian Cinema since this is probably the first time the pioneer of Indian Cinema, Aditya Chopra has opened himself up and its really good to see him take us through his journey of film making and his passion for Cinema is just fascinating to see.
