With good (or even bad) content easily available for consumption on the internet at one's own time/comfort and high ticket prices, there are only two reasons why anyone will decide to go to the theaters for any movie before waiting to decide based on WOM: (1) stars they like/want to see (2) big event movie. And even these people will dwindle starting from Friday itself if WOM is bad, opting to see it online or when it comes on TV.The only people who seem like Befikre's audience right now, apart from Ranveer's fans, are couples or single men who want to get laid after (as was evidently being discussed by some forum members.) With Dangal coming in the weeks after and Aamir's promotions probably being in full swing, it'll be hard to convince people to shell out the money.Strangely, the audience actually wants to make movies with good messages/content work...something like Pink would never have been successful otherwise.
Exactly that's what I meant. Audience is finally turning a corner as far as making a good movie work is concerned. I think I have said this in ADHM thread as well that in the current scenario, no amount of buzz & hit music will help if the WOM is bad. Case in point, Bar Bar Dekho. The movie had huge buzz with chartbuster music and pretty decent trailer too. Look what bad WOM / content did to it.
@ bold, lmao. good observation there! 😆
