Their both guilty, but its a fact BOI tend to manipulate verdicts, one such example calling jai ho a semi hit, when it is below average.
He's more well known for his reviews than box office figures. Nobody takes him seriously anyways. Almost all tv shows use BOI's numbers or numbers very close to them. That's because they're the right numbers compiled straight from theatres and distributors. Can we actually take producer's seriously? Ofcourse, they're going to exaggerate their business. Then how can we take TA seriously, who reports their numbers, instead of doing any leg work?
People counter by saying that Production houses have to pay taxes on exaggerated numbers. Another misconception. Numbers they report and numbers they file are not the same. So no they don't pay taxes on reported numbers.
BOI has a disclaimer that is very easy to find, the early reported figures are just estimates. They might change when more data comes in. So if they change numbers, its not random but its because more data has become available.
Every actors fan's have beef with BOI. SRK fans claim they're biased towards Salman, Salman fans say they're biased towards SRK. Now Sid fans are also claiming bias. That can only mean one thing, that they're not biased towards anyone.
Anyways, I'm not here to bat for BOI, its a horse beaten to death. All I'm asking is consistency. If you're following TA then follow all reports. If its BOI, then do the same. Don't pick and choose.
