Actor Kareena Kapoor Khan says post pandemic, people are happy to "go back to cinemas" to watch entertaining films. The actor, who was last seen on the big screen in the Aamir Khan-fronted Laal Singh Chaddha, believes a good film will find its audience whether it is in theatres on or OTT. Laal Singh Chaddha, which released in theatres last year in August, received a lukewarm response in cinemas but did well upon its digital premiere on Netflix."People want entertainment. They are looking for good cinema, a good story. They are looking to be entertained. Now that COVID is over and people have moved on from that, they are happy to go back to cinemas and watch entertainment.
