Emmy Award Winning producer Ektaa R Kapoor recently took to social media to express her disappointment over the box office failures of Superboys of Malegaon and The Buckingham Murders. Kapoor, who has been a powerhouse in the industry for 30 years, is known for producing bold and critically acclaimed films like LSD, Lipstick Under My Burkha, and Veere Di Wedding. In a recent social media story, she stated, “When Superboys of Malegaon and my dear friend Hansal Mehta’s The Buckingham Murders don’t work in theatres, can we blame the real culprits—the audiences?

You can say it’s in its adolescence.” Kapoor’s statement has sparked a debate, with some agreeing that Indian audiences often gravitate towards commercial entertainers over unconventional cinema, while others argue that filmmakers should focus on better marketing and theatrical strategies.
