Too sad, the main person creating the movie didnt think of poor Aish, despite being her close friend... you are free to cast her when you make your own Padmavati...

You need to add a disclaimer citing whose fan you are when you post anything related to Padmavat so we can add peeps to the list of those who are jealous of this epic masterpiece and classic

Full disclosure: I am a Shahid fan. I haven't seen the film but since there was so much drama before release I am frankly happy just that the film isn't a disaster.

Having said that - and unrelated to any specific film - I understand the "rules " but think it's kind of ridiculous the way hits and flops are assessed and how much emphasis is put on these tags especially since the actual numbers for what the distributors pay and what the collections are in the Hindi film industry is so murky. There is no source - including BOI - which isn't 1. At least partly guessing and 2. Biased.

By this account many movies of other actors would become super hits too😆. How can distributor share change the status of film from flop to hit? It can only shift the losses towards the producer. The movie has to recover the production costs. That's the rule followed for all manufactured products too. A Rs 200 Cr film is tough for even super stars to become hit, forget super hit or blockbuster. Padmavat has to make Rs 300 Cr to become a hit. Can it?
