If opening first is the criteria, then only AS.Rifi's thread should survive and others, including this, should be locked.

I don't know why wouldn't you consider boi article an update on Box Office?

Is it some sort of discrimination not to have my reviews included with other members reviews?

I was among the first ones to watch in India and posted my review with all excitement. Some memebrs liked it too so I know they read it but they chose not to post it on page 1. Do they think we are not legit users? Why the discrimination? Or are we only allowed to post positive reviews?

Looks like this movie has gone down the drain too

I wanted it to work so that SRK won't get discouraged and quit acting for good...loss toh hum fans ka he hoga...jinko bash karna hai..woh bash karke 2-4 din baad bhool jaayenge...its the fans like me who literally grew up along with SRK watching his movies will suffer...and miss him...BW would be so over for me if this happens.😒

SRK won't quit acting. He (and the rest of Bollywood) need to realize that if you're going to make an urban movie, or a niche movie, you can't overspend. Dear Zindagi was a perfect counter-example. The budget was around 50-60 crores so everything worked out well for the movie. It performed at the boxoffice and the distributors/exhibitors didn't lose. That's how you plan for these types of movies.

I find it baffling that Bollywood filmmakers spend SO MUCH money on urban rom-coms or non-commercial movies. You can't expect 200 or 300 crores by making movies like Tubelight. For a moment, let's forget how crappy Tubelight was. If you're going to do something different, something experimental, then you have to forget about those big numbers.

It's counter-intuitive to expect a "different/niche/experimental" movie to earn 200 crores. 300 crore grossers (Dangal, PK, Bajrangi, and Sultan) are all typical Bollywood dramas. They had the traditional elements of Hindi cinema.

You can't go on spending 100 crores on movies that only cater to urban audiences or a specific section. There's no way everyone will profit because such movies--good or bad--simply aren't massy enough.

The mantra of success is simple these days: make a small-scale, niche, but honest movie and give it a decent multiplex release. That's how Badlapur, Pink, Neerja, Lipstick, Hindi Medium, etc. ended up becoming Hits.

Being a fan of cinema in general and with high enthusiasm regardless of the critical response I went to the cinema. Going to SRK movies is a celebration in itself. Watching his films in times of melancholy uplifts me.

If you're going to go big, then it has to include Bollywood elements (like plot simplification in Dangal, emotional manipulation in Bajrangi, or mythology in Bahubali). Is it surprising that Bajrangi was Manmohan Desai cinema, Dangal followed the archetypical Subhash Ghai format of the 80s, or how Bahubali incorporated elements of Indian mythology in a grand scale?

If a director decides to make a movie on Hanuman tomorrow (and if it's good), it'll be an ATBB. If not that, just make a good movie like Neerja within budget.

Movies like Tubelight and JHMS going over budget is what's hurting them more than anything. The quality only comes after.
