Mercedes Cars Price range = 21 Lakh to 2 Cr.

Nike Shoes Price Rance = 2000/- to 5000/-

Versace Wardrobe Price Range = 15000/- to 80000/-

All of them comes with a Unique Brand Name & always been termed as the BEST QUALITY.

These Brands never have even cared about competition, or having Smaller percentage of clients throughout the world, they have always Sustain their Quality.

If u go by %, Almost 30% ppl in world can afford a Merc Car. 40-45% ppl buy Nike, same kind of % for Quality standard products in diff. category.

If u want to Luxury Spend Big Bucks, no comprise in price.

____________

This concept is opposite for Bollywood Films:

On a Average Quality films in India never earns Big Revenue at Box Office, Off late due to Multiplex invention, from 8 years, Quality films are for Multiplex Audience only. 1 more division, it is for Classes Only.

If it is a Quality film, Excellent Script, Oscar worth Story Line, Y those films never earns big money on Box Office?

A film's ticket price Range from 90 - 250 All over in India in Multiplexes, if u remove 4 Metro cities Plexes, On a Average Ticket price of watching movie in Multiplex will be 90 - 150 Max. This kind of price is easily affordable to SAME AUDIENCE, i insist Same Audience which make CRAP FILMS( a general tag especially all Salman films (90%), Akki/Ajay films on IF) Big Big Huge Success.

They Audience never pay more for Salman's crap films, they pay the same price which they pay for Quality Films in Mutiplexes.

Salman. Akshay, Ajay's Crap Films runs Housefull in both Multiplexes n Single Screens, their films are never success in just 1 segment, their Superhits to Blockbusters to ATBB are Universal Success, not ke just Plex Hit or SS hit.

Where a Film going Audience doesn't have to pay any EXTRA Amount for QUALITY Which in above given products case they have to pay to enjoy that quality of luxury, y does the collection of Quality films comes to almost Half the income of Crap Films?

Topic is in general viewpoint, don't come with points like Indian Audience is DUMB, they like crap films only, coz the same Audience has given those quality films enough amount of income to encourage future film makers 2 make those kind of films.

I don't know much about the industry anomalies but for me, cinema is a form of art. Some make movies for the audience and for revenue purposes while some use it as a platform to convey their vision to an audience. Sometimes these movies work and sometimes not. The purpose of a movie and its audience is the deciding factor I guess

Not sure if my blabbering make any sense though 😆

But I don't think we can equate it to merchandize brands or any other

Anyways your observation is quite interesting

The reason behind quality movies not doing better than crap masala movies is the composition of the population in India.

India is on it's way to become a completely industrialized country. It has not developed optimally. It has a long way to go before it can be compared to the progress which western countries have witnessed.

India has a huge section of poor people. The amount of illiteracy is very big. Middle class group is not so good and let's not even start about the upper class society that's a small minority in India.

This is why masala crap movies are doing better than quality movies. The indian population has not developed, many can't read and speak english etc. hence they can't connect with quality movies. They need masala movies which doesn't appeal to their intellect and hence they can easily understand those movies. Those movies is full of colors, dance, songs and action that's what they can relate too.

Quality movies have a long way to go before they can beat masala movies. For that a revolution in India is need it and that takes time. The population needs to get more educated.

Indian Cinema has a long way to go before it can get recognition on world platform. If it wants to open a huge market in the west, then audience first has to accept quality movies instead of masala movies then producers will invest more in quality movies.

But Puffin I don't think a person's literacy or education is a depending factor of a movie's success ratio revenue wise

Even in Hollywood or elsewhere this scenario is the same. Not all good movies with better scripts or output works. Otherwise a critically acclaimed movie like Black Swan could have had a fruitful run in the box office, which it didn't

You can't compare hollywood movies to bollywood movies. Even the worst hollywood movies are better than the masala movies made here. A movie with only colors, songs and dance can make one puke, a little bit quality in a movie is always refreshing.

Small movies made in India is not doing well because people can't relate to them, they don't understand them. Even though the movies are amazing quality wise then they never do good business.

Hahaha the highest grossers in Hollywood are Avatar, Harry porter series and transformers.
I don't think they are quality cinema in anyway

I'm not comparing the content of movies, just an example on the business. Besides I think it's better to categorize movies as good and bad more than Bollywood or Hollywood although I love both industries and their movies

You're right about people not relating to certain movies. But people are changing as the time moves on and the biggest example is Barfi. Nobody expected such a sensible movie to work with the audience and yet it did so I'm hopeful that good films will do good business

Yes indians do not relate to many movies especially if they shot abroad. That's why those masala movies which cross over 100 cr. is shot in India.

Yes people are changing, but it's a very very very small progress. Barfi was accepted but that doesn't change anything. There has always each year been one quality movie which has been accepted but that hasn't changed anything. Audience accept 1 quality movie and then 10 masala movies. So more progress and changes needs to happen before we can see quality movies doing well.

What kind of English was used in "Kahaani" & "Barfi" to which audience couldn't connect to make it big success more than that they achieved?

Does Audience for "Barfi", "Kahaani", "Vicky Donor", "Paan Singh Tomar" were from Mars planet which come specifically for these films and illiterate Indian Audience ignore dem & went to "Ready" "Rowdy" kind of movies?

"Paan Singh Tomar" is a huge success in Single Screens audience without colors, song, dance. Probably same audience which gave Added plus income to Wanted, Dabangg.

First of all, A Movie's Trailer which draws audience to CInema Halls, after which u will say they understand it or not. Quality movies like Kahaani - 60 cr, TDP - 70 cr, Barfi - 105 cr earning is not coz of Literate ppl only watching it, it also include same illiterate audience also.
