Actresses Kalyani Priyadarshan and Kareena Kapoor Khan spoke about the rise in hyper-masculine films as the current dominant trend. Kalyani pointed out constant "sensational and shocking" moments in films, stating that we're "losing the small films, moments". Kareena agreed and added, "Now it's all like thriller, crime, gore and blood and stuff. No fun, energy, colour, song, love or romance."
