Veteran Bollywood director
Yash Chopra, who redefined romance on Indian cinema screen,
feels that Salman Khan starrer Dabangg had nothing new to
offer.
The 78-year-old filmmaker, known for his romantic
movies like Waqt, Kabhi Kabhie, Silsila, Chandni and
Veer-Zaara, feels that Indian cinema should not be used
merely a tool of entertainment.
"I did not like Dabangg. What was new in that film? It
was an old fashioned movie but it was such a huge success.
Personally, I wasn't able to understand the logic behind the
movie," said Chopra, who was here to unveil the new logo of
Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry
(FICCI).
