There
is
no
denying
that
from
the
last
few
months,
the
craze
of
south
films
have
overshadowed
Bollywood
films.
In
fact,
we
won't
be
wrong
to
say
that
moviegoers
are
more
excited
about
big
south
releases
than
Hindi
ones.
Amid
all
the
hullabaloo
around
south
vs
north
films,
actress
Alia
Bhatt
opened
up
about
the
same
and
reminded
everyone
that
all
south
films
did
not
work
at
the
box
office
and
the
situation
is
pretty
similar
in
Bollywood
as
well.
While
speaking
to
Indian
Express,
Alia
said,
"It's
a
tough
year
for
Indian
cinema.
We
should
be
a
little
kind
to
Hindi
films.
Today,
we
are
sitting
here
and
saying,
'Oh
Bollywood,
oh
Hindi
cinema...'.
But
are
we
counting
the
films
that
have
done
well
this
year?"

She
further
added,
"Even
in
the
south
industry,
all
their
films
have
not
worked.
Some
of
the
films
have
worked,
and
they
are
very
good
films.
But
similarly
over
here,
starting
with
my
film,
Gangubai
Kathiawadi,
have
worked
and
done
very
well."
Alia
concluded
by
saying
that
a
good
film
will
always
do
well,
but
she
also
understands
that
the
current
time
is
tough
for
cinema
because
the
film
industry
is
recovering
from
the
losses
incurred
during
the
pandemic.
With
respect
to
work,
Alia
will
next
be
seen
in
Darlings,
which
is
all
set
to
release
on
August
5,
2022.
Directed
by
Jasmeet
K
Reet,
the
film
also
stars
Shefali
Shah,
Vijay
Varma
and
Roshan
Mathew
in
key
roles.
The
film
which
claims
to
be
a
dark
comedy,
apparently
revolves
around
domestic
violence
and
mother-daughter's
bond.
Interestingly,
the
film
also
marks
Alia's
maiden
production
venture.
