The problem is that you think your opinion is all that matters. If you don't like a movie, you qualify that movie as bad content.

The reality is that what you may consider bad content may be perceived as good content by many other people. You didn't like Dhadak, many other did since it was a HIT boxoffice wise and on TV.

First of all not all all sources declared it a hit. There were many that said it did decent to average business. It was a semi-hit at most.

Secondly, almost every critic noted that the movie paled in comparison to Sairat, the original. These are people who are more knowledgable in terms of good content. Again, I am not saying they know more than the common man. But people can come into theatres for all sorts of reasons. For an example, the controversies Padmavati created helped it become a hit. People could have also come because Sairat was so well receivedbeforehand. Maybe they came to compare. I am not saying my opinion is the end all of be all I'm just say that hit (even if it was one) does not equal good content.

My links are mediocre because you decided so. Fair enough!

Secondly, I never forced my opinion down anyone throat. I just said that hit doesn't necessarily mean good content. Yes, it is subjective to some extent. But their have been plenty of hits in the past that not have had good content. I only made this point because everyone here was convinced that a hit necessarily means the movie was a good one. I just it necessarily doesn't mean good content . I never said 1.8 million thought that as well. You can stop putting words in my mouth.

From when did Cinestaan and Dailyhunt become legit box office websites?😆 And even if we believe it to be a legit site, how is a film having a budget of 40 Cr and earning 80 Cr not a hit?

Maybe people wanted to see how bad of a rip off it was. Honestly, Dharma didn't at all do justice at the story. The original actually shows the struggle of two people without college degrees running away. They were living in slums. Here initially only Ishan's character was working. That too in a minimum wage type job. Still they could afford decent food and a roof over their heads? Dharma really needs to do more research on the struggles of the common man or poverty in India. That's was one of the many issues. Even the love story wasn't developed. It seemed like two harmonal teens who really didn't know each other developed a mutual attraction. No one would of thought of it as a serious relationship. Even the theme of caste issues and honors killings weren't fully addressed. They were major themes in the original.


And Jhanvi was especially bad. I really didn't feel anything at the end for her. Shows the lack of performance.
