I watch films to get entertained...I don't care if the film suppose to make me think...please I have my homework for that! If a film is boring, am not going to watch it. That doesn't mean I want a silly and stupid film like TMK which kills my brain cells.

Everyone loves entertainment. It's just that some gets entertained by a Tees Mar Khan or Singh is King, others get it from a Maqbool or Omkara.

I don't get it from either group. Both are dead boring for me. 😆 Vishal's films, though beautifully crafted and directed, is like taking a sleeping pill, and movies like Tees mar Khan makes me want to pull out my hair in frustration. 😆

^ Yeah I agree, even Vishal films (which are not masala films) are not entertaining for me! I thought all his films were boring!

But I think people who like Vishal films like them because he doesnt spoon feed you the story. And they find that entertaining I guess! I like that those films too...that doesn't spoon feed you the story...I just don't like Vishal films! 😛

Nice topic smartie pants! 👍🏼

nope...just all good masala films are succesful.....AAA released on Video a week after its release, so ppl just preferred buying it on video and owning the movie, rather than go to the theatre...

most well made masalas right from manmohan desai flicks to today's dabangg, om shanti om etc, are hits because something abt those films strikes the right chord with the majority, and that acc to me, is a well made film..

that feat, wasnt achieved by TMK, Veer, YPG et all....

EDIT: my point exactly..hollywood dosent always make good stuff....but therz this perception amongst many prominent directors that making a film in that style(more subtlety and less OTTness) equals a good film. which is wht i find half baked.

Frankly, I don't know. 😆 I used to be a complete movie buff in the past, but always ended up disliking most of what I saw. I think Vishal is being one trick pony - he is a very gifted director, but I don't think his movies are anywhere near to the artistic greatness as they are hailed to be. And mindless entertainers are just not meant for me. Though I did like the first Pirates of the Caribbean - now that was awesomely entertaining with a 'light' storyline. The second and third one did not impress me, though.

TMK was the worst film I watched. Loved Ghajini, Omkara and a few other films though. If there is no storyline than I don't bother watching it.😆

for me ..i hated DEV D. and ishqiya ,.. they were cruel and too realistic for my taste ,.

i think this new trend is created by the critics ..as much as they keep criticizing every film and tear it apart ..they affected the audience's take on whats good and whats bad ..

tags like mindless films .. leave your brain at home entertainers !

its becoz of them that filmmakers r changing their approch towards filmmaking ..

i never read review seriously ..i end up liking the films they hate and hating the films they like ..

but for me asoka was one hell of a film ..i dont mind watching it anyday ..over movies like dev d .

so i say magadeera will be awesome if made in bollywood ..by ranbir and kat or hritik or shahid or any other actro ..it will surprise everyone of how many ppl r excited to watch such movies ..

the indian audience is blend of so many cultures ..religions .. u can not offer them the same kind of films ..there is an audience for every kind of films ..

i say they should go ahead and do more movies of those ..we r sick of realisim in our own lives ..

some fantacy is always required ..
