'It has been an incredible year for Hindi cinema', Ayushmann Khurrana feels happy about India's theatrical business

One of the most talented and versatile actors in the industry, Ayushmann Khurrana delivered one of the many successful films this year with Dream Girl 2. While the actor received a lot of love and appreciation from fans as well as critics, he also enjoyed the feat of his film entering the 100 crore club globally. With that said, keeping in mind that the year 2023 has been extremely good for him, Ayushman recently also issued a statement speaking about his film becoming a big success. The actor also shared his views about how Hindi cinema has dented the negative narrative of Bollywood this year. After having almost a dry spell in the last few years due to the lack of original content and also the pandemic, it seems like Bollywood has finally had its redemption arch this year with back-to-back hits like Pathaan, Satya Prem Ki Katha, Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, Gadar 2, OMG 2, Dream Girl 2, Jawan, 12th Fail, Sam Bahadur, and _Animal_ among others.

Considering the sequence of box office successes in mind, the actor expressed his happiness and said, “I am really happy that we have tasted success across many genres this year. It is a healthy sign that the industry is thriving, which is so aspirational. It also feels amazing to have the support of the audiences for the work because we truly pour our hearts and souls into the cinema that we create.”

The actor further also noted how 2023 has been an “incredible year” for Hindi cinema. “From a narrative that Hindi cinema is boycotted, to it having no takers, our industry has cracked the content game in 2023 to possibly register its biggest theatrical year. We have seen incredible support and response from the audience for our cinema which is why we have already had 3 all-time blockbusters in 2023!” he added. While Ayushmann expressed that he feels happy about the fact that Hindi cinema has dented the negative narrative, he also gave due credit to all the writers, directors, and producers for putting their heads down and working very hard. “I’m delighted to have contributed in my own way towards the theatrical business with Dream Girl 2,” the actor said about his film. He also recounted how happy he felt about his film becoming the first comedy film to hit over Rs 100 crore in India, especially at a time when action films were in rule.
