Kareena Kapoor opens up about 'Rangoon' failure, and reasons as to why people have not liked the film
Ace director Vishal Bhardwaj's 'Rangoon' was touted to be one of the biggest films of the year as it had a star-studded cast which included Kangana Ranaut, Shahid Kapoor, and Saif Ali Khan. However, the film poorly performed at the Box Office, and has failed to meet the expectations of the audience. Considering the kind of hype the film created during its promotions, 'Rangoon' did manage to garner as much attraction from the audience.

With a budget of over 65 crores, the film has only managed to collect approx 17 crores in five days since its release. While the actors have refrained from talking about the failure of the film, present at an event, Kareena Kapoor got defensive when asked about the film's performance.

In an exclusive interview with Firstpost, when asked about the failure of the film, Kareena said, "Vishal Bhardwaj's films are art, it is like a painting. You either like his films or you don't. It is not like a typical commercial film that is going to cater to everybody's taste and sensibilities, he caters to a certain section of the audience and that is why some critics have revered it and called it a piece of art. Vishal Bhardwaj is known for that. So when you do a film like that, with a lot of love for cinema, the actors get a lot of appreciation."

She further added, "Some films are beyond Box Office collections. Saif has been in the industry for 25 long years. He is beyond success or failure of his movies."
