Javed Akhtar on good films note performing at the box office

At a recent event announcing the Aamir Khan film festival, Javed Akhtar praised the film, calling it one of the best he has seen in a long time. “Superboys of Malegaon is a great film. Despite earning great reviews from critics, with ratings ranging from 4 to 4.5 stars, it struggled to perform at the box office. It is the best Hindi film I have seen in the past 14-15 years. What could be the reason?” he quipped, highlighting how good films aren`t encouraged at the box office.
