Despite
garnering
critical
acclaim,
Anurag
Basu's
ambitious
Jagga
Jasoos
starring
Ranbir
Kapoor
and
Katrina
Kaif
failed
to
impress
the
audience
and
managed
to
earn
Rs.
45
crores
in
eight
days!
While
Ranbir
chose
to
stay
mum
over
this,
his
father
Rishi
Kapoor
lashed
out
at
Anurag
on
the
film's
poor
performance
in
an
explosive
interview
to
Mid-day.

Anurag
Basu
Doesn't
Take
An
Opinion
From
Anybody
On
being
asked
if
he
is
miffed
with
Jagga
Jasoos
not
doing
well
at
the
box
office,
Rishi
said,
"That's
not
true.
Honestly,
Neetu
and
I
saw
the
film
on
Thursday,
only
a
day
ahead
of
the
release.
Till
Wednesday,
Anurag
Basu
was
still
mixing
the
film.
Can
you
imagine
that?
Pritam
[composer]
probably
delivered
the
music
only
a
week
before.
What
can
you
say?
Basu
doesn't
take
an
opinion
from
anybody."
Today's
Filmmakers
Treat
Their
Films
As
Though
They'
Re
Making
A
Nuclear
Bomb
"Today's
filmmakers
are
doing
this
with
everybody.
They
don't
show
their
films
before
release
to
take
opinions,
and
treat
it
as
though
they're
making
a
nuclear
bomb.
"
I
Didn't
Hate
Or
Love
The
Film
"I
didn't
hate
or
love
the
film.
I
only
felt
it
needed
to
be
abridged
by
20
minutes.
But
who
is
going
to
give
that
opinion
to
them?"

Anurag
Is
Such
An
Irresponsible
Director
That
He
Doesn't
Complete
His
Films
"I
totally
agree
with
Ekta
Kapoor
when
she
threw
him
out
from
her
film.
He
had
problems
with
Rakesh
Roshan
while
working
on
Kites(2010).
He's
such
an
irresponsible
director
that
he
doesn't
complete
the
film.
It
was
supposed
to
release
three
times
in
the
past
two
years,
but
it
kept
getting
delayed."
Rishi
On
Why
Jagga
Jasoos
Didn't
Release
In
Singapore
Or
Gulf
Countries
"It
did
not
release
in
Singapore
because
you
have
to
deliver
it
five
days
in
advance.
It
did
not
release
in
the
Gulf
on
Thursday
because
it
was
only
delivered
to
them
on
Thursday.
This
is
unreasonable
and
irresponsible.
You
may
be
thinking
you
are
making
the
Taj
Mahal,
but
you
are
supposed
to
make
it
ready
on
time."
Everything
Is
Not
Just
About
Creativity
"Even
Pritam
delays
his
submissions.
[It
was
later
promoted
as]
a
kids'
film.
But,
a
kids'
film
also
has
to
release
at
the
right
time,
like
during
the
school
vacations.
At
that
time
too,
Anurag
Basu
wasn't
ready.
There's
economics
and
maths
involved.
Everything
is
not
just
about
creativity."
Do
you
agree
with
what
Rishi
Kapoor
has
to
say
about
Jagga
Jasoos'
dismal
performance?
