When
it comes to creating films centered on tales of love, not many filmmakers know
the best way to win hearts. The head of Dharma Productions, Karan Johar, sure
knows how to craft heart touching stories however and has come up with films
that have moved audiences to tears and made us fall in love all over again!
According to him, the film industry has undergone a tremendous change lately
and the way contemporary cinema portrays love and romance these days is a step
away from the past.

| Clean love stories don’t exist anymore |
“It’s
sad but the purity of romance has taken a beating. It’s the difference between
water and cola. The ‘40s, ‘50s and ‘60s projected clean, tranquil and seamless
love. Just the way a glass of water appears. Today’s love is like a fizzy cola.
It’s got fizz, which eventually goes flat. Water is like the ocean, it’s
endless. Unfortunately, today organic love is known as old world love. Clean
love stories don’t exist anymore,” said Karan.
He
also went on to add, “Unfortunately, there’s no love story that one can tell
today without watering it down. Last year only one love story was made - Jab
Tak Hai Jaan. Before that the only real love story was Jab We Met. Imagine the
most important films of our decade aren’t love stories! And that was all our
industry was producing at one point.”
Karan’s
last film, Student of the Year, released on the 19th of October, 2012 and was
proclaimed a hit. The film starred newcomers Siddharth Malhotra, Varun Dhawan
and Alia Bhatt playing students at a school while veteran actor Rishi Kapoor
plays the role of a gay dean.
