Other than this, the masses still look out for entertainment only. The audience’s mind-set remains the same as it was during that period - they want to laugh, cry, watch  the songs, enjoy the action and relate to the emotions in a movie film they come to watch. If one looks westwards, you would see that songs and music in that particular film would be there only if it is a musical film or somewhere near that genre," observed Partho further denouncing the new trend of creating artificial controversies just for the sake of the publicity of a film.
