Actress Raveena Tandon, who gave a power packed performance in 'KGF: Chapter 2', recently shared her two cents on why Bollywood is being surpassed by regional film industries in terms of popularity, star power and box office collections. Raveena believes that Bollywood's tendency to imitate Hollywood has made it lose touch with the audience.

In a recent conversation with Bollywood Bubble, Raveena said, "Somewhere in the 90s, till the time melodious music and stories came in, there was a lot of aping the West. They all wanted to become Hollywood, with choppers and Westernising… Somewhere, there was a loss of Indian culture in our movies. And the minute I used to go shooting down south, they had such a strong ethos about their culture and their customs and their rituals. The movies would revolve around those kind of stories. Immediately, the masses would identify and they would be super-duper hits.”

The actress further added, "That is what I felt was lacking in the scripts that we were making back in Mumbai, and I used to feel that we are going away from what the masses are identifying with. Even though KGF 1 and 2 may be portrayed as an action movie, until and unless you don’t have emotions that are holding people’s hearts, I don’t think any movie can be a success. When your emotions are surface-level, it doesn’t work.”
