Actor Kareena Kapoor has reacted to the trend where a section of the people
boycotts Bollywood films. During a recent event in Kolkata, Kareena asked
how will people be entertained if there are no films. Kareena on Sunday
attended the Indian Chamber of Commerce-Young Leaders Forum event in
Kolkata. The ‘#Boycott Bollywood’ trend started ahead of the release of
several films last year such as Laal Singh Chaddha, Liger, Brahmastra and
Raksha Bandhan. The trend affected the box-office business of some of the
films.Kareena said, “I don’t agree with it at all. If that happens, how will we
entertain, how will you have the joy and happiness in your life, which, I
think everybody needs And which cinema and films are promising, which we
have always done, which films have always done. If films aren’t there how
will the people be entertained.”

Ahead of Laal Singh Chaddha’s release, Twitter users started trending the
hashtag #BoycottLaalSinghChaddha, asking people to not watch the movie.
Films like Liger, with Vijay Deverakonda and Ananya Panday, and Brahmastra,
starring Ranbir Kapoor, were also called out by many to be boycotted.
However, Brahmastra did very good business at the box office, emerging as
one of the highest-grossing films of 2022. The trend again started ahead of
Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone’s Pathaan release.
