Karan Johar: Johar Johar is Facing Trolling Over his Two New Films

Karan Johar is Facing Massive Trolling Over his Two New films News Update on SerialBoosters.com 

Filmmaker Karan Johar is a name that often stirs up social media storms, but recently, the criticism has been louder than usual. The producer is facing widespread backlash for how his company, Dharma Productions, handled the release and promotion of two of its latest films: the critically acclaimed 'Homebound' and the commercial movie 'Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari' (SSKTK).

The heart of the controversy lies in the unequal treatment of the two films, both of which were released close to each other.

'Homebound,' a film that received huge praise from critics worldwide and was even chosen as India's official entry for the Oscars, has been struggling in Indian cinemas. People on social media are angry because the movie was given a very limited number of screens and poor show timings. Many fans who wanted to watch the acclaimed film couldn't find a show near them.

The criticism intensified after Karan Johar spoke about the film's poor performance. He mentioned in an interview that, due to new business partnerships that demand a focus on profit, he might not be able to make "artistic" films like 'Homebound' in the future.

The anger from the public and even from within the industry—'Homebound' director Neeraj Ghaywan is said to have indirectly criticized the situation—stems from the direct comparison with 'Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari.'

'SSKTK' is a big-budget, commercial romantic comedy. Critics and fans pointed out that while 'Homebound' received very few shows (some reports suggested as low as 3 per day in certain multiplexes), the commercial film, which released just a week later, was given an excessive number of shows, sometimes over 100 per day in the same multiplexes.

This significant difference in the number of screens and the promotional push has led to the belief that the production house prioritized a commercial film that featured familiar faces over an Oscar-nominated film. The public feels that Karan Johar's focus on profit, as he mentioned, actively sabotaged the chances of a high-quality, non-commercial film like 'Homebound' from reaching a wider audience.

In short, the popular opinion is that while Karan Johar's company produced a great, award-worthy film, the lack of support in its promotion and cinema release is entirely to blame for its poor box office numbers. The filmmaker is being heavily trolled online for appearing to value high-profit, mainstream movies over quality cinema. To know such latest updates, stay tuned to serialboosters.com Thank you!
