Hansal Mehta on Box Office Numbers In an interview with DNA, Hansal Mehta shared his thoughts on the film’s box office performance, saying, “I’d be lying if I said I don’t get nervous. I can afford to take a break now. Earlier, I couldn’t, so I used to hide. Now, before the film’s release, I leave and cut off. It allows you to move on, or you get stuck. It’s a tough balance. PR firms don’t let me cut off that easily. Unfortunately, we have made this a very short game, a weekend game. I believe films are for posterity and reflection over time. We reduce films to a number, which I find demeaning to the work we have done.”
