Fan- Why did it flop despite being a decent film? - Page 2

They made a bad movie.
Concept should have been a star helping a fan by inspiring him to do something good in life . Not killing his fan.
Watch Dhanak. It revolves around SRK fans , SRK isn't even shown but how he touches those kids life is amazing. You'll know where Fan faultered if you see Dhanak.

The wall/house jumping scenes were too long. It only suits Salman in Sultan.

Only geniuses and high class people can understand it, not rickshawallah normal IQ people. Samjhi hi nahi toh flop hi hogi naa

Loved FAN! SRK's performance was absolutely pitch perfect! He brought out the cold avatar of a superstar and the crazy-ness of a hard-core diehard fan just brilliantly. I wished the chase sequences were altered to be shorter. It dragged on till the gravity of it was lost. But, I loved the ENDING. It was the only plausible ending possible. I mean who exactly in society would accept Gaurav after all the shit he's pulled. Death was the only option!

I loved it. Of course, it had its flaws and is by no means a perfect movie...but still refreshingly different and overall well-executed. As for your question...IMO masses don't want to see dark, downer type of stuff. Happy endings, heroes, martyrs, and inspirational figures work best for entertainment...not a depiction of anomalous, discomforting, failing members of society...and especially not when this depiction speaks to the negative effects of the very same medium through which it is shown. Average person doesn't want to see such adverse consequences of the entertainment they're out seeking.

Because fans were busy tweeting and discussing other's movies in social networking sites 😆
