R Madhavan reveals Hollywood has 'disappointed' him, says he didn't like Oppenheimer, Joker 2: 'They have lost the..'

R Madhavan is disappointed by Hollywood, and he didn't like Christopher Nolan's last blockbuster, Oppenheimer. While promoting his new film Hisaab Barabar, R Madhavan discussed his views about how West has lost the plot. 

In the conversation with The Hindu, when asked about the films he saw in 2025, the RHTDM actor said that he's found Joker 2 'terrible'. "I hate to say it so blatantly but Hollywood of late has disappointed me a lot. I feel like they have lost the plot in many ways. Older films like The Shawshank Redemption, The Usual Suspects, A Beautiful Mind, As Good as It Gets...they stayed with us for so long. In the last five years, no movie has made the same impact on me. I saw the original Joker and thought it was a product of passion but the second one was terrible. I’m sorry but I didn’t see what it’s merit was," the actor said. 

The 3 Idiots actor further said that he didn't like Oppenheimer either, and explained, "I did not like Oppenheimer as well. Let me tell you why: a man has devised an atom bomb and in one flash it has killed more people than history has ever seen. It has destroyed a race and a culture for many years in that part of the world. Would you not show the impact of that on the man who invented it? For me, that was really important."  

Madhavan further added, "I want to see how Oppenheimer felt the morning when he got the news... does he come out, pick up his newspaper and do his neighbours look at him like a villain? Does he feel happy or does he feel like a monster? Those are the emotional bits they did not want to touch." The Shaitaan actor that maybe Hollywood is not comfortable with emotions or maybe they 'were unable' to portray it. He further explained, "Imagine making a film on Gandhi but skipping how he won us freedom." R Madhavan's latest Hisaab Barabar is currently streaming only on ZEE5.
