Okay I think I am about to sound like Ranchod from 3Idiots😆

In the past few days, we got to hear about many new movie announcements from big actors.. The comments about the movie announcements were mostly k this film will surely break records... It will earn this and that.. It is coming on this date and that date
So my question is, why has so much attention been shifted to records and release dates.. Hardly anyone talks about the potential story or whether the movie sounds promising or what story it would have.. Why is that? Since when did movies become about records and BO business alone?


Also if people here are focused so much on records and BO numbers, why are the BW people blamed for becoming too money oriented? If people who will not get a dime care so much about money, why would BW people, who are earning the money not care about it.. Why will they not forget the importance of quality



Now I know i mention BO numbers and records, I would greatly appreciate if which movie made how much does not make its way here😆 I know the movie business of every SRK film.. No need to remind me again and comments like grapes are sour😆


Fee free to deviate to anything apart from KSG, Barun and Sanaya.. Oh and who is a MID of who as well

Finally something we can talk about. 😆

Before coming to this forum, I would only get to know about a new movie when it's trailer came out lol. Maybe newspaper reports.

I think when movies become about fan vs fan, then focus shifts from the storyline and making good movies to a game of numbers.

Everyone wants their favourite's movie to do well and in the bargain, good films might just bite the dust.

I was on Bolo Har Har video and saw that people were writing things like, "KRK, KJo are disliking this trailer, so please like it" etc.

It's not even about a good movie now. It's all about what your favourite star is doing and no matter what they put out, people will act like it's next best thing since dosa.

Haina?
These figures about breaking records, making this much that much go over my head 😃

I've never seen my friends or ANYONE in real life, for that matter talk about BO numbers.

I find it amusing TBH with you. But yeah, that is not even the last thing I would ever think of even when I watch a movie and love it.

Mostly when we hear a movie annoucement, we wonder about the story, hope the songs will be good, the director, the link between title and story, the setting and so on.. lol

See... I get wanting your fav movies to do good.. Thats something every fan would want.. What I don't get is why that is the first thing that is talked about when the news of a movie comes.. Take the announcement of TOH for example.. There were so many comments k it will break all records and all.. Why?

Exactly.. When you hear about a movie, the first thing you used to ask is k story kia hai... And here it is now release date kia hai.. Why? And how did this change happen?

There are always two types of fans.

one stats fan and one aesthetics fans.

in any field, whether movie industry, sports or any other field.
Sadly today due to data feed era we are living, aesthetic taste is fading and all about the race, or else you will be like a broken anda😛


Personally I always care the story before BO numbers.

@bold- It's mostly something for fanboys to gloat over once the film's run ends.

Of course, the earnings of a film matter, but as long as it is profitable, I don't see why there should be murder and harakiri over BO numbers.

However, I see that what fanboys and girls say on YT or IF doesn't affect the actual fate of a film. There was so much hype for BBD online but well, we all know what happened.

BW has become about stroking the egos of the superstars and not churning out good cinema.
