Even in this forum, there are only a handful of RS fans and rest are RS-DP shippers.

Varun is a massy star, RK is pretty much a multiplex hero. Only RS could have managed to please both groups but he's lacking something to connect with both the sections IMO.



Badlapur was clear multiplex driven film. Obviously Varun is most popular amongst masses from all new bunch but it's unfair to say he has no pull amongst multiplex audience coz even Badlapur opened highest for A rated film of thriller genre.

Anyway Varun's films opened to decent numbers all the time. Given his release date for Judwaa 2 is fantastic. It may as well prove his stardom

You are conveniently ignoring thatfact that Bajirao Mastani was voted as either The most anticipated film of 2015 or in 2nd place in several polls that gets conducted during year end..Dilwale was not even announced at that time..So its factually wrong to state BM got hype due to Dilwale. BM got hyped because it was SLBs dream project which got abandoned due to Sallu-Ashs break up



Sorry what polls?

If you really wanna know BM stands post its success. Just look at the footfalls, it's even below underperforming PRDP

How can the man whose been spotted less than 5 times in his life ever be a factor for Befikre? The public has no idea who Adi Chopra is. They've barely seen him. without a face, public can't remb the name. They know the longest running movie called DDLJ was made by him. But, they dont think that Befikre could be a DDLJ cuz they've never seen the face of DDLJ director 😛
For eg, see this pic:


The man sitting across from Yashji, you could photoshop Chandrachur Singh in the place of that man, whoever he is, and get the public would still believe that's Aditya Chopra. No face , no value😳

(still can't believe he made up a fake convo to justify this colonoscopy-level-of-pain-inducing of a movie 🤣)


This is what a trade site had to say about Adi Chopra factor. Basically he cant be ignored even if we havent seen him around. There is also Ranveer coming off BM which took down the mightly SRK and won all popular, critical and National Awards last year.


Befikre - The Aditya Chopra Factor
Thursday 08 December 2016 11.15 IST
Box Office India Trade Network

This week will see the release of Befikre which is directed by Aditya Chopra after Dilwale Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Mohabbatein and Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi and that is the biggest plus factor of the film. The promos of the film are not showing much with two people just running around in Europe while the music could also have been bigger. Commercially it is not much an issue as on costs against revenue it will be one those rare films which doubles its investment even if box office does not fare too well but that maybe a success as how the trade judges but in real terms a film has run at the box office to succeed and especially as no other director working today has such a record. Three films and three blockbusters be it India theatrical, Overseas theatrical and Television.

On what is seen in promos for Befikre the film could almost be written off but because of the director you have to give the benefit of doubt that there will be something more in the film than what is shown. The promos make it look a empty film without emotions but it was the emotions which worked in a big way for Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Mohabbatein and Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi and that makes it hard to believe that thi film will like be like other road rom-coms that are there in Hindi cinema.

Then there is Ranveer Singh who also has a lot to prove as his major successes have come as historical type of characters and these and biopics don't really push the star status as far as box office office is concerned as how many can you do. So Befikre gives a chance to score with when presented as a more normal / traditional Hindi film hero.

Befikre was never going to beat Bajirao..the trailer was tacky, story looks bad.
that it scored even 10 Cr on opening day is good. thats to the credit of ranveer and music

since its a bad film, it didnt grow much in terms of trade and will mostly flop or be an average grosser
thats on Adi C's head

Befikre story was bad..that's why!
It has nothing to do with Deepika.
AdiC is to blame here..Ranveer did what was asked from him.

credit was for RS and the music. not RS alone.
vaani is too new to appeal and the movie ( Adi C's doing) looked shit. so why give them credit
& fall coz of Adi C only?
who or what else would you blame for Fall..he made a bad movie, so the blame goes to him.
beyond the weekend its the product that dictates the trade..
Ranveer did his job well so why would anyone blame him for the fall

a little too Convenient!
Adi C has a much better potential to get opening than RS!

A bad movie is a bad movie is a bad movie.

After watching it, I have doubt that it is a "tax saving movie" for YRF.
Why did RS let Adi play with his career ? No clue

Vaani will benefit from this movie. Mark my words !! Her dancing skills show-off will make her new Katrina, the one who can act.





yes vaani was impressive with dancing and acting

but her face got to settle down. She was very harsh on the eyes on the big screen

i watched SDR after it just to see that not only is her face totally different, the way she speaks is altered too..she never would speak like that earlier
