Actress Digangana Suryavanshi, who has worked across Telugu, Hindi and Tamil industries, says she misses the emotional connection that older films had with audiences. In an interview, she said technology has overtaken filmmaking so much that basic human sensitivities are lost, and that ethics and morals in Indian narratives have taken a backseat. Digangana, who started as a child artist, called it a privilege to work in different film industries, saying each culture affects performance and filmmaking style. She noted that cinema is therapeutic because it makes audiences reflect on questions they may never ask aloud. Despite enjoying world cinema, she finds it harder to connect with certain Indian narratives today. Her recent release Shivam Bhaje is close to her heart because she is a Shiv bhakt. Looking ahead, she has a Tamil film directed by Pon Kumaran and two Telugu projects, one already completed.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

Digangana Suryavanshi's critique reflects a wider audience shift as pan-India blockbusters prioritise spectacle over story. Her remarks on ethics and morals in Indian narratives echo similar sentiments voiced by veteran actors like Kamal Haasan and Chiranjeevi, who have warned that losing cultural roots risks alienating core viewers. The real test for her lineup, including the Pon Kumaran-directed Tamil film and two Telugu projects, will be whether they balance scale with the emotional depth she craves. Watch for box-office performance of her next Telugu release to gauge if audiences agree.
