Absolutely, Mehul Kumar's insights in his interview were quite thought-provoking. His observation about the shift in Bollywood from creativity to a business-driven approach highlights a significant change in the industry. In the past, filmmakers seemed to prioritize storytelling, artistic expression, and originality, creating timeless classics that resonated deeply with audiences. Today, while the industry has undoubtedly expanded and evolved, the emphasis often appears to be on commercial success, box office numbers, and formulaic productions. This shift can sometimes lead to a loss of the unique charm and creative risks that once defined Bollywood cinema. Mehul Kumar's perspective encourages a reflection on the balance between creativity and commerce, and the importance of maintaining artistic integrity in filmmaking.

[@faridahmedkhan9645]

Sir is baat ka aaj bhi aap ka loha manta hun Jis tarah aap ne Raaj jee & Nana patekar jee ko Ak sath kaam liya hai. Kabile tarif, Director & Producer aksar yahi sochte hai. Hamari film me koi problem nahi aana chahiye Lekin aap ne to jaan bukhar Do aamne samne aise Actor ko khada karke aisi film banai Jo aaj bhi Block buster hai Kabile tarif

[@Siddhivinayakstudio1]

Mehul kumar Sir ❤️

[@GeniusArtistGirish]

So Inspirational..🎬 🎯

[@paharipant2]

Sabse badi downfall imo, is in the language of films. Nana Patekar's aa gaye meri maut ka tamasha dekhne , Raj Kumar's dialogues etc are not heard today coz the language itself has suffered. There are no quotable dialogues anymore.

[@21Vlogs]

Bohot pyar interview tha ❤

[@ajitmahindrakar]

Dear Mehul sir, I have a nice Marathi story Screenplay dialogs lyrics and songs composed ready package. Social msg to Society.
