'Content driven cinema works like B'wood hits'

Mumbai: Content may be the king now, but for Nawazuddin Siddiqui even films on social issues tend to be as formulaic as mainstream Bollywood movies.

"They are propaganda films, where you pick up an issue make it like a national crisis, it is not cinema. I don't think so it is cinema. Whether I believe in it or not is another thing.

"People call it content (cinema) but the recipe is same like that of hit Bollywood commercial film, which is five songs, dance, item number. So how can one call them content driven? " Nawazuddin said.
