Blamegame Drama of DILWALE - Page 5

Yup its silly 🤪

About the protest! Srk called for himself. Just like Salman did during BB with tweets on Yakob. And Salman was wrong without a doubt!

BB released exactly a week after Bahubali😃. Diilwale with a wafer thin plot, with the clash, and the unexpected ruckus created by fringe elements and miscreants, is bound to have a bad run at the BO. Pretty straight forward logic, huh?

Yeah pretty straight forward that the film is tanking cause of its 'wafer thin plot', isn't that what I said. 😛 Unexpected ruckus was created for PK too, and on a much larger scale. That didn't impede it to go on and become the largest grossing Bollywood film of all time, now did it? Nor did the ruckus during Rab De Bana Di Jodi hinder it from becoming a blockbuster despite releasing 2 weeks after the 2008 Mumbai attacks and with negligible promotion and marketing, at least in comparison with Dilwale. Granted, it's script was not 'wafer thin', but it also wasn't promoted on such a large scale either, nor did it generate the hype that comes with the having India's so called greatest on screen jodi ever (the premise on which the film was promoted). 😃
And what clash really? Before this, Ranveer was being touted as an actor with zilch star power, so to speak, and Deepika was supposed to bring all the audience in for BM. This is not an equal clash then, now is it, especially when you look at the fact that he has only a couple of box office successes to his credit so far and the fact that Deepika has delivered a flop this year with Ranbir despite being touted by her fans as his saviour, underpinned by the notion that only she had the box office pull between her and Ranbir. So after considering all these viewpoints, the fact that SRK fans are blaming clash as the reason for Dilwale severely underperforming only affirms the notion that they think his star power has gone to take a hike? Or have they finally come to the realisation that even their King's presence cannot outweigh the negative impact of a lousy script?


Edited: typos

BM, despite the size and grandeur of the film, was still supposed to be no match for Dilwale.

Dilwale had everything going right for it from the very beginning. The stars, the director, the genre, the budget, the songs ect.

It was always a David vs Goliath situation as far as BM and Dilwale was concerned. So the fact that Dilwale, despite all the advantages has not been able to do as well as expected and BM surpassing all expectations, its evident that the audience has chosen a better film.

A few protests don't matter at all. If Dilwale was doing stupendous business, you really think a few shows cancelled in places like Managalore or Pune would have mattered?

So SRK fans who have high morale authority, advocated on boycotting Sooraj, Bhai movies. When it comes to SRK movies, commerce is involved. I don't agree with what is happening in India, but ppl have the right to protest and show ... , just like SRK fans have the right to boycott Bhai movies. Well hopefully, things will settle down. If the movie is good, it will pick up later.

BM protest-only in Pune

Dilwale protested all over India.get your facts right

I wasn't planning to watch either of these films. I hated the Dilwale trailer, I knew this film was going to be awful I am not going to like it. As much as the BM trailer impressed me I was planning to watch it base on good reviews and strong WOM. I watched it late Friday night and am planning to watch it again tomorrow. I respect and appreciate all 3 Khans work but SRK still is yet to make a come back and impress me with a good film. All of his recent films are Bakwas. Salman already did that with BB for this year, that was a brilliant film. I hope SRK give something good next year.

Here in my place there is no political agenda.. And Dilwale is suffering due to bad WOM.. And it's because of the story and script ..

People were opting for BM in the weekends 😳
