Ah the accusations of us Indian audience being unintelligent, stupid and not mature surface again. All we want to see nude ladies in our screen.
yeah FAN was a niche movie, English wala nahi, hindi wala niche.

Who said anything about Indian audience being unintelligent and stupid. Damn talk about reading something that isn't there. Indian audience knows good movie how do you think movies like Chak de India, Bajrangi, PK, Airlift, Dhoni, ABCD did good!!

But then do you know what those things have in common... they all deal with patriotism or rights or god... when was the last time a genuinely feel good movie with no agenda or half naked people or OTT comedy make 100 crore or more.

K&S deserved 100 crore domestically but didn't. Or DZ... people kept saying calling it rubbish and boring but couldn't see the message it was trying to portray. Why , because there wasn't some slapstick comedy to go with it.

Accept it or not Indian audience won't accept movies with subtle portrayals of any issues... everything needs to be spoon fed and in your face.

But that's just my thoughts!!!

2 movies which are very very different are being compared 🤢

If Chak De released today it would easily make 400 crores. Sports film with patriotic felings if made well works wonders always.

Its not just Indian audience, it is audience everywhere. There is a reason why Avatar is the biggest HW blockbuster and not the likes of Shawshank Redemption. So when people go like Indian audience don't understand good movie, I hate it. Audience everywhere wants entertainment and something to laugh at. There is a reason superhero movies(the summer blockbusters nowadays) always try to make as many punch lines and comic moments on their movies because that is what sells. For majority of audience everywhere, movies are about entertainment than art. Anyways the main thing is FAN was a poorly made movie, it has nothing to do with the taste of the Indian people. The 80 crore or something which it made was because of SRK.I know my last post looked it was targetted only to you, sorry for that, but when FAN released and meet with negative WOM from the public, most of the posters were like Indian audience does not have any taste, they don't deserve FAN. So when I read your previous post, I got carried away.

Fan was a bad movie, is was shit, it was badly made, SRK hammed etc etc. Everyone is talking as if bad movies always fail in the box office, and Indian audience always accepts masterpiece.

Dhoom 3 was a embarrassment to all the action films ever made but it still made crores why because Katrina stripped and there's action that defied all laws of physics.

Prem Rantan blah blah was so mind numbing that I could barely finish it still made 200 crore why because there was brainless comedy and Sonam decked up like a jewellery store singing for her love and waiting for Sallu to write on her back while her booty sticks out.

Happy New year... the less said the better. It was a brainless movie... but it still made ALMOST 200 crore.. why cause DP was dancing half naked and everyone was making dumbass jokes.

The list goes on... Raaz 3, Hate story 2, Talaash, Dabanng 2 etc etc

If Fan had a item song with half naked chick and some dumbass comedy toh jhak maar kar 100 crore cross ti.

And as for SRK being bad in Fan then well its everyone's own opinion .. can't change that. I thought he was brilliant. But then I don't know much about acting like half the people with PHD in Acting here!!!
I'm sure everyone can survive for 25 years in this industry with just hamming as a talent.


Movies need to be entertaining..Dangal..even with its women empowerment and sports theme..has entertainment value. It has good dose of humour.. wrestling scenes r gripping. U dont want to look away even when u don't know much about the game.

. And whatever anyone says..songs r top notch and take the film forward. Hanikarak bapu is peppy, m humming dhaakad whole day, title track is picturized so well..gilhari tells a story of its own and naina is so emotional..

On that note..I loved PK songs also..I still like listening to them.

Haven't seen fan so won't comment on it..But r u joking? PRDP is a success coz of Sonam? There were so many comments and topics here which made fun of her and salman fans didn't want to watch the movie coz of her..I hated those topics coz I love Sonam and in my opinion she was the best thing about the movie..I feel it didn't work for me coz Salman is not prem anymore. He doesn't have the innocence. But however stupid..movie didn't bore.

Again Dhoom 3..it worked coz of the minuscule role of Katrina? Dhoom is a brand.. people love watching Stunts..and having Aamir in it helped. People can see Katrina stripping on tv or internet too..that too any number of times. Why would they pay 300 bucks for that?

I don't like shahrukh or DP but liked HNY ..again entertainment

So if Fan didn't work it wasn't just item songs that it lacked..

Well... That's a first... Next what??? Brando hammed in Godfather?
I tell you this forum is FUNNY as hell! No kidding!



Yes, he was bad in Fan.

And drawing parallels between Brando's performance in Godfather to Shahrukh's in Fan? Now, that definitely is a first. Its hilarious too.

Yeah So did Aamir in Dangal!!!
If we are all deluding ourselves here ...then let me do my bit!

& No Sherlock I am not drawing parallels...I am extrapolating the wierd logic & where it is going to ultimately land!

You can keep deluding yourself Fan was praised as one pf year's best performance by even Aamir's loverboy critics like Mayank S & Annirudha...
Not a single critic called him BAD...So you are free to live in your imaginations...just don't pull me into it!!

I suppose PK, Dangal, and maybe even D3's weekend collections are more than the lifetime collections of Talaash and their day 1 is probably bigger than Dhobi Ghat's lifetime collections too. So I should just assume that these two were just terrible movies and PK, Dangal, and Dhoom 3 are fantastic films.
But I think many neutrals and even many Aamir fans would probably agree that Dhoom 3 was Aamir's weakest movie in years and not Talaash or Dhobi Ghat (tbh most people probably don't even remember that Aamir did this movie).

Films work or flop for many reasons...it's not always as simple as "good" and "bad." ..and it's really silly to compare a feel good, inspiring, patriotic movie like Dangal to an uncomfortable movie about fans like Fan.
