“Films are not appreciated based on how big they are!” – Sajid Nadiadwala

It is a myth that big budget films are always successful and small budget films are not. There have been many low budget movies, which left a mark on the Indian cinema and broke several records over the box office. However, some people fail to understand that a film cannot be judged by how big it is. Even big banner movies, which have enjoyed a huge capital, tend to be absolute flops most of the times. To make people understand this, Sajid Nadiadwala, the famous film maker said in an interview, “Films are not appreciated based on how big they are!” In fact, it depends on the audiences, whether they like a concept or no.

It is the audiences, who decide that a movie is big or small, according to the talented producer. Small budget movies are results of production houses, those cannot afford to invest in a lot of money and not because their story is a dud. Many small scale producers come up with a descent cast and crew, yet a terrific concept and story. Strong genres and out of the box concepts work well with the viewers. The capital invested does not even matter. Sajid Nadiadwala accepts that there are still people, who decide depending upon a film’s budget that whether to watch it or not. However, that should not really be the reason given for not watching a low budget film. You are just showing disrespect to an extremely talented writer or director, who could not make his or her extraordinary story into a big film.

As per Sajid Nadiadwala, people should start trusting the small capital movies as well. Most of them have to give a brilliant message in a simpler way. They do entertain as well as conveniently pass on their message, because the movies are not complicated and flooded with unnecessary item numbers or expensive sets. They are great in their own way!
