Alia Bhatt says viewers’ anger at Kalank is justified – “I don’t want to disappoint them” : Bollywood News

Actor Alia Bhatt, who is gearing up for her upcoming Netflix dark comedy Darlings, spoke about her films that didn't do well at the box office and what could have been the reason behind it.

Alia Bhatt says viewers’ anger at Kalank is justified – “I don’t want to disappoint them”

As reported by The Indian Express, Alia said she never wants to disappoint her audience, but sometimes things just don’t land the way one expects them to. “Audience is king, if they have not connected then something is not right,” she said. “On paper, sometimes it just seems alright and then the movie just doesn’t land, it doesn’t come together. And you can’t do anything about it. So you go back to day one, and think about, ‘okay what went wrong’.”

She continued, “I am very academic as a person so I want to look at the things that went wrong, so maybe I don’t miss the red flags the next time. Even with a film like Kalank, it’s alright, it opened with Rs. 20 crore so people came to see it, but they were so disappointed (with it). There was this anger because you build up an expectation and that makes me feel very responsible, as an actor. I don’t want to disappoint them. Their anger is also justified.”

Alia Bhatt’s Darlings will premiere on Netflix August 5. The actor also has Brahmastra, Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani and the Hollywood movie Heart of Stone next in her pipeline.
