Sidharth has spoken about the failure of BBD in an interview that came out today:
Excerpts-
Q. What has the failure of Baar Baar Dekho taught you?
Sidharth: For example, one must take advice on how a film is shaping up from those who have more experience. When I heard the script for Baar Baar Dekho it was one of the most exciting ideas I had come across. What a lovely thought! The heart was in the right place.

Q. You've made very unusual choices as an actor so far. Is there a sense of disappointment when your choice fails you?
Sidharth: I never question my choices. I only question certain methods and processes in the movie-making business. I think after failures I've come out more experienced and slightly wiser.

Q. What else have you taken away from the way Baar Baar Dekho was received?
The experience has made me more conscious of my future. Had Baar Baar Dekho worked better maybe I wouldn't be so careful with the modalities of making a film. But I am still going to choose only those scripts that I believe in. I stand by my choices. If I like a script and a role it doesn't matter how many other actors are there or how many scenes I have. All the films that I've done so far tell stories that I want to tell.
Q. So if, like your character in Baar Baar Dekho, you had the chance to go into the future and not do the film, what would you do?
Sidharth: I'd still do the film. But maybe differently. I still think it has great potential. Now it's already done. So no point in thinking of what can or cannot be fixed.

He is trying to think of this as a learning curve, so I am happy about that. Time to analyse why the film didn't work and what he could have done differently.

BTW, have they taken down the interview? 'Cause I can't open it.

I still dont understand why do they cast Katrina. They like losing money on non actors. Till how long we will have to suffer 1. non actors who make watchable movie non watchable. ex JTHJ 2. Ruin their faces with bad plastic surgeries again, Katirna and Anshka. In this over 1 billion population they cant find good looking talented actors so we can watch the movie without wasting our money on them!

They say they dont know the reason for failure. Well the reason is staring right at them - casting bad actors.

Nice read . It's quiet good I feel that BBD failed coz he said if this would be a hit he wouldn't be so conscious now choosing his scripts & thinking of working more harder & where he's going wrong. 😆

Some of you had said he will learn from his mistakes & in this interview he said just that. 😳

Spoilers ahead


If they showed this movie to 10 people before releasing, they would have undesrtood that all that time travel crap was not gonna work.

It was promoted as Sci-fi but it turns out he time travels coz of some Pandit-jee magic. What a crap !!
Or they should have simply shown it as a bad dream - Like they did in Shahid's movie - Vaah Life ho toh Aisi.

After like reading so much stuff bout Kat here...I dont get surprised..its just amusing to me like why cant the fans of ACTING beg/request their idols to not star with the actors they think can't act/dance/look beautiful?
The answer would be 'as if they will listen to some fans'...well they wont..coz everybody knows in that industry that its not the "acting" that pulls audience to the theatres...but the actors,songs and script...and rest everything is secondary...so no matter what...Katrina will continue to get films till atleast next three years..so all you ACTING fans can do is...skip the movie or suck it up
I wouldn't have typed it here on review thread...but its not like its treated like one till now
OT : Sad bout the underperformance of this one..but atleast unlike Fitoor I enjoyed this one
