Have the Indian audiences become script-conscious??

Call it the over-priced tickets at the multiplexes or increasing number of unbiased reviewers and script conscious audience these days, there has been an increase in bad movies fairing equally bad at box-office. People these days dont want to go to a theater just because a beautiful face/good production value is there (BBD,Fitoor) or a superstar (Fan, MD) is there. While on the other hand we have films like Neerja, Pink with no elaborate sets or chartbuster music and still fairing so well in the cinemas. So is it safe to say we are finally moving to a period where people want intelligent films and are refusing to spend a bomb in watching just 'beautiful' things because well they will rather enjoy a meal at some new urbane cafe or shop something of utility? Is this a sign for filmmakers like the Johars, the Chopras, the Gowarikars to concentrate more on plot than production value. Nobody wants to spend a 1000 bucks for two people just for watching some part of Europe/US or watch beautiful yet expressionless faces?

Audiences are becoming more script conscious for sure. But they're not only script conscious. There is still some star culture. Makers with great scripts will still have at least 1 star in the movie, if they want it to do well and want to get people to really watch and appreciate it. Like Pink for example. I feel like it wouldn't have done as well if BigB wasn't in it, mainly because people would not have been aware of it. We do need stars for that, to generate buzz for these good stories imo.

And ofcourse Salman Khan movies always do well and they don't necessarily have the best scripts.

budget control tha iskiye opening weekend main hi karliya
2nd week was not upto the mark

to the question they do
but u need atleast kangana ,ab ya any a lister
and budget control
that parichey is releasing on 23 will get good reviews but dont have any a lister so lets see
massan was superb but was flop
if it had varun ranveer or new superstar
it would have done well

They dont want to see thakela,sadela marela films .They have other ways to spend their money.

Show them something new and exciting..they will run to the theaters.


Salman in a langot was new and exciting for the janta..or so it seems🤔

definitely
