Hey!

So, we all have those films which make us go, "Why weren't they hits?", "Why didn't people wanna watch them?"

I have myself said content is king/queen, but do you think this is true?

Does 'good' content always win at the Box Office?

Or is it all about appealing to the largest possible number of people? Majority wins and all that?

If good content doesn't work, what incentive do filmmakers have to produce good films or be creative?

Thoughts?

But what is good content though and who defines it ?

Is it family films ?

In BW and South movies, if you ask my parents they would say a film with story with good acting and no kissing. Many have violence. For my dad it is a Thalaiva movie. 😆

If you ask the west, they would again say PG-13 or PG. They allow kissing, nothing further mostly, but like superhero movies are heavy on violence.

If you ask me as a cine lover, I tend to go for movies with strong script and acting. But that could mean movies like Pulp Fiction or Starwars or LOTR.

So I think good content is something each movie goer defines for themselves. But I think generally good content is a strong story, real, fiction or fantasy. It starts with a story. BO success or lack there of has nothing to do with it

For BW movies NO one cares for anything, not acting, not action, not songs, not direction, its simply the ability of the movie to hold you through the duration, it should entertain you. If your attention is kept on movie and you have enjoyed it, thats it. Nothing else matters.

One mans trash is another mans treasure. If there was a secret formula to success then movies like Masaan, Free state of Jones, Aligarh, Rocky Handsome would be super duper hits.

Yes.. It does.. In one way or the other... So many flop films got the cult status because of their content later on.. If you mean win in terms of BO numbers, not necessarily but yes, a win is always there in one form or the other if the product is good

definition of good content can vary for different people but something that appeals to the masses will eventually get its due, if not in the form of numbers, then in the form of remembrance sometime down the road
