Does 'Ek Tha Tiger' Need Marketing At All? - Page 3

These days we are not getting any surprise flops, all big budget movies that are targeted at masses are working well. Chahey woh Salman ki movie ho, aamir ki movie ho, ajay's or akki's or srk's movie. Unless someone tries something really risky with a big budget like srk tried ra.one..all these stars that i have mentioned have their fan base which turns up to watch their movies.

How is any film supposed to run without marketing? Marketing is the crux of getting the word out and drawing people to a product. The reverse psychology of not promoting, relying solely on the star name recognition, fan anticipation, social media frenzy in essence is just another marketing strategy. It is still a means of marketing a films, except in this case it uses alternative user/audience driven channels rather than traditional channels.

No marketing would mean a black void. Absolutely no word at all. Not even a slip that Salman Khan will be starring in a movie. Not even a whisper on the movie going in production. No marketing would mean that even on the release date, there will be no posters, billboards or words telling anyone that a Salman starrer is playing in the theaters. Perfect complete oblivion.

I dare any movie to make money without marketing. Jeez people, marketing strategy by the name of no marketing would still be marketing strategy.

I think Salmans movies sell on its own, body guard was promoted on two weeks prior to release, and than Salman had to goto the states to have a surgery still the movie rocked with highest 1st day in 2011.

Back in the 80's and 90's people used to go to the theatre without any ideo about the movie or the star cast😉

But I agree ETT needs some kind of promotion. You cannot release the movie without any marketing.

Posters and hoardings were a huge way of promoting movies back in the day. Newspapers, radio ads heavily advertised films. So people knew exactly what they were going into. Big stars like Amitabh Bacchan, Rajesh Khana were prominently displayed on posters and radio ads would go "dekhiye amitabh bacchan ko naya andaaz mei blah blah blah blah blah".

The means of advertising have just changed over generation. Television came, they used television. Internet came, they used internet. Mobile came, they used mobile. Now with social media many movies actually have the strategy to not promote but go generate social media buzz.

Only Katrina is enough to get a movie hit 😛

Des days people dnt care about hits and flops (wen it comes to our any Khan movie)s ...all dey care is how much it collected on its 1st day...was any record created...or not???..
So 4 des things it def.needs marketing....

Otherwise toh if d movie has Salman...nd even amir or shah rukh it has to be a hit...👍🏼

I feel like the only person on earth who could care less about this movie. 🤔

Reminds me of Bachchans strategy to keep themselves in the news. 😆

We kinda had such a movie doing well recently under almost senior circumstances ie Paan Singh Tomar.

Their is no film can make arecord without apromotion or in other words marketing .Salman is N1 right now thats clear but like always the media try to overhyped everything .The first teaser for the film is one of the marketing step .Even the still on the set is amarketing and promotion strategy .Even if the article try to talk about the future step we are in bollywood so people are waiting for song promo may be more than the trailer it self so if you sont even release asong then you will not have half of the people to watch the film and at the end every single article on the net is apromotion strategy so the idea itself make no sense at all .
