Hello everyone ,

We often see fans making posts of YT views and record set by Teaser, Songs etc.
We all are guilty of boasting about "so many million views in 1 day" !!

I think when we rejoice in our YT views records, we forget that YT is free whereas watcing movie will cost us money. We watch many free videos but we will probably not pay for even 2 videos, if we have to.

I hope after BBD debacle, we all will stop giving importance to YT views. 70 million Kala Chasma didn't get BBD a decent opening?!!! I agree that movies run on WOM, but opening is indicator of Buzz, YT views and star power. BBD had it all + hit songs with million of views. What happened? Do we give too much importance to social media?

Lets discuss YT views, Buzz, hit songs etc and how much it helps a movie.


PS - This is NOT a BBD bashing post. BBD is a recent example, so using that for reference.
PPS - I am also gulity of boasting YT views of Salman, so do not paste my previous posts😉

It does indicate something, that is: song/teaser/trailer was popular in Youtube.
Ofcourse Youtube hit does not mean it is bound to be BO hit. But if people liked something and watched it in repeat, it does mean something.

Good topic. I like your topics when they are not against Ranbir 😆
We have wondered this "Low opening " in BO thread . I agree that movie won't run if it's not good, but it got low opening despite everything !! Why? It's a puzzle.

Yup they don't..But that won't stop anyone from gloating when their fav star's trailer/songs get max YT views or if they trend on twitter..Or diss a rival star when their films don't manage that..As irrelevant as it is, it is not gonna stop anyone from discussing it so no point 😆

YT views are over rated. YT is free and if song is good, people watch it a few times. But it helps in building popularity of songs. By the time you go to movie, all songs are hit and you connect with them on movie instantly.
Like in YJHD, songs added value to good movie.
But if movie is bad, you want to watch song free on YT and give movie a miss

It is just "something", not "a lot" or huge achievement as fans boast about views.
