Exactly what I expected Aamir to be like. There was a blind too that he cancelled the huge marketing plan for film promotion. Now we all know why. Though im glad people questioned him on Fatima’s casting👏 She was not good choice and he forced the makers to cast her

No doubt the over all film/story was crap, but questions on Fatima's casting and Aamir editing the film make sense. If you recall..giving an interview to Fardoon at Bollywood Hangama, where he famously revealed Katrina has merely 2-3 songs..he also said that the film revolves around Fatima's character and during Dangal's dvd release said Fatima is the heroine of the film.

When TOH released, she had just 3-4 scenes in it. So maybe he did alter her part too..even in those scenes she was not effective so makes sense.

That's interesting. Aamir should have known Thugs would be sh*t.

Uh, i felt regular scenes shud have been more in kedarnath and tragic time took over most of the film. I loved the place and felt it shud have taken some time to explore it. Also it got negative reviews. Who knows? The film wud have done more had it not been altered? I didn't get how Sushant's character all of a sudden started trusting Sara. His love must have overpowered but still, though she did ask him on his choice to believing her sis.

Gud to know abt Aamir. So he knew film is a dud already. Yeah dat last min editing is known.

Never know alot of effort is put behind the Ormax rankings.

So are they getting paid or not

No. They volunteer. Their reward is they feel special doing that.

Wow. What a sad bunch.

This is called a 'test audience'. I like these details. There's 'FOCUS GROUPS' in UK and USA that do a similar thing.Interesting stuff.

There should be such stuff for all movies and the filmmakers better pay attention.

Better scrap the movie if it gets too much negativity.

Especially if the test viewers unanimously dislike your product.. then there's something really wrong.

The whole industry is doing this after Kalank's debacle. Even though it's a good practice but it's still not a foolproof one. The focus group watch the films in it's raw form without any sort of final sound mixing or designing or good background music. Even VFX done is very basic in the film. So when the whole film is a bit kaccha, there's a lot of chance for the audience to feel bored of the film not because of its screenplay and story but because of the missing sound designing and other factors which play a huge role in movie watching experience.

But the VFX and music not being like the end product shouldn't matter THAT much. I mean, that's a given.. people watching this are aware, right?

IF the STORY/DIALOGUE is good, the acting -engaging.. and the actors portray the roles well..or they FIT their role and give the lines meaning.. someone can go past the lack of all the 'trimmings' added later.

I mean just by reading a scriipt you should be able to know if there's enough ,meat' to hold the movie. Then you look at how the actors portray. And OF COURSE you have to give lenience for the stuff that's not finalised... as they know they are not watching the final product.
