Actor-turned-filmmaker Rakesh Roshan has shared his two cents on recent Bollywood films failing at the box office. Besides questioning the choice of subjects by filmmakers, Roshan also lamented how songs have taken a backseat in movies.

They are picking subjects that appeal to a very minuscule section of the audience. A big chunk of the audience cannot relate to it," he shared.
