What is the verdict of Padmavat? 😕
Why is it blank? 😲



Yeah they're just hits because of the budget but it was said that devdas is this huge hit when it's not. You take srk in his prime with the subject like devdas which is so famous + aish with madz + popular songs and you deliver just a hit. It should have been a blockbuster but wasn't even the biggest hit of the year. I remember as a kid when I found out that raaz beat devdas, laanat hain slb pe jo srk ke saath bhi hgoty nahin de paaya

Further even Ram Leela or bajirao are flops, I don't care but they aren't

should ask boi why the verdict is not written but in articles it was given a bb verdict


Also lol at Salman saying he gave 2 hits to slb when khamoshi was a big flop and he wants credit for hdds when he's the one who ruined it

so Salman should also take credit for all the flops he has given

Its not always about the "money' Devdas was a big movie, and even internationally so to speak. It made the most impact from any other SLB movie - and that's a FACT. It went to several film festivals and even Hollywood stars like Beyonc have watched the movie. The key word is IMPACT not Box office collections. We are in a different time and era now ofcourse films will "earn" more that doesnt mean anything though. Within 1 year people will forget Padamvat too.

On a serious note - I think all of SLB's films are overrated though. He's a terrible story teller. I personally think his best work was HDDCS. I fell asleep during Devdas, RL, Guzarish, BM and Padmavaat. Snooze-feast!

Also according to Varun fans as long as a movie has a verdict of average and above its considered a hit. So how come people are trying to make SLB hit's a flop in this topic?

HDDCS is a flop cuz its a HIT...but Dishoom is a hit even though its an "average" Someone explain this to me?

If you have to provide lists of how much a movie made, it's pointless. Nobody really cares and people forgot stats very quickly. It's about the impact a movie has.

Devdas was on so many international lists of one of the best movies made in the world. It was nominated for Best Foreign Film at the BAFTAs which is maybe second only to the Oscars in terms of prestige. Only Lagaan and Devdas got that kind of recognition.

Movies like Ram Leela are already forgotten. Empty numbers don't mean anything at the end of the day.

Bajirao also had impact- example: me..who didn't pay attention to Indian movies and considered wrongly that all that was on offer were masala or soppy romantic stories. you tube is full of foreigners talking about RL, BM and PV and loving them..comparing them..learning about Indian movies because of them..
Let's not talk about how much talk there is about Bajirao and Padmaavat since their release.
Padmaavat and Bajirao made the national news round the globe and were discussed in Western media.
Besides the khans, I haven't seen that happening. Not in that massive scale. Independent and Guardian (in UK) barely touch Indian movies..but they talked about BM and PV.
Each of us likes what they likes..has their faves.
I am not going to demean the khans or other actor because they aren't my numero uno fave. If they get a good movie, I will watch it and say I love it.
See I am not mean spirited and can think beyond blind fan mentality.

Devdas was a bigger grosser than Raaz. Raaz was a bigger hit. I guess hit is determined in proportion to budget

Yes devdas had bigger budget owing to the extravagant sets and bigger actors like SRK Aish and Madhuri.

Tell me about it 😆
Exactly my feeling while watching Sawariya and Guzarish. 😆
I mean why does he make such dark blue black sets? 😕
Na kuch dikhai deta hain aur naa hi samajh aata hain

The story of Sawariya was crap, but Guzarish had a good story and could have been much better 😛

What? Not really. Devdas is his most successful movie...and Black is his most acclaimed movie. Khamoshi/HDDCS did well in their own right too.

Alot of people hold the above films at a higher standard than RL, BM and Padmaavat. SLB only faltered with Saawariya and Guzarish - although I personally believe Guzarish was an amazing film just too depressing.

The real challenge for SLB would be to take on a non-actor and turn them into renowed performers like he did with Deepika, Ash, Ranveer etc

For DeepVeer fans SLB's career started with Ramleela 😆 though in real world Devdas is his biggest hit and Khamoshi, Black were his best reviewed films.









Padmavati is the only blockbuster of SLB's career. Devdas is a much smaller success and grosser compared to padmavati. It was barely a hit.

No it wasn't. It wasn't even the biggest hit of the year, raaz was. A non starrer raaz was a bigger hit than srk starring devdas, let that sink in 😆 and srk was at the top too.

Here's his filmography

SANJAY LEELA BHANSALI FILMOGRAPHY

9. Padmaavat
Release Date: 25 Jan 2018
Nett Gross: 2,84,35,00,000
Verdict:

8. Bajirao Mastani
Release Date: 18 Dec 2015
Nett Gross: 1,83,75,00,000
Verdict: Hit

7. Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram - Leela
Release Date: 15 Nov 2013
Nett Gross: 1,12,97,50,000
Verdict: Hit

6. Guzaarish
Release Date: 19 Nov 2010
Nett Gross: 29,56,50,000
Verdict: Disaster

5. Saawariya
Release Date: 09 Nov 2007
Nett Gross: 20,92,00,000
Verdict: Disaster

4. Black
Release Date: 04 Feb 2005
Nett Gross: 23,18,75,000
Verdict: Average

3. Devdas
Release Date: 12 Jul 2002
Nett Gross: 41,65,50,000
Verdict: Hit

2. Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam
Release Date: 18 Jun 1999
Nett Gross: 24,76,00,000
Verdict: Hit

1. Khamoshi
Release Date: 09 Aug 1996
Nett Gross: 6,89,50,000
Verdict: Flop


So hdds wasn't a big hit either. The verdict is merely of a hit not even superhit forget blockbuster

Verdicts can be deceptive, as they are directly influenced by budget. Because Devdas had more than 2 crores footfalls and its adjusted collection can be nearly 197 crores. Same with HDDCS with a footfalls of nearly 17million. I get what you mean, you have problem with the term "huge hit" right. Ok they were not huge hit because there budget was too high, but atleast we can na they grossed more in box office than many of the so called superhits.
