Realism is a far cry in new age Bollywood, says veteran lyricist-scriptwriter Javed Akhtar, who feels the depiction of the common man in today's films is misleading and the quality of songs and language has deteriorated quite a lot.
'Where's realism in today's films? Maybe yesteryear films were more dramatic in treatment, but they had more realism. They had a common man's depiction the way the common man was, unlike today's films,' Akhtar said in a group interaction.
The 67-year-old has been active in the Hindi film industry since 1964. He penned several successful scripts like 'Zanjeer', 'Deewar', 'Sholay', 'Haathi Mere Saathi', 'Seeta Aur Geeta' and 'Trishul' with his erstwhile writing partner Salim Khan in the past, and wrote meaningful songs for movies too.
