Nobody is powerful enough to make a horrible and non-entertaining film a hit.
I will say, Varun seemed to be the only one trying, rest were terrible. I didnt understand Alia's character- she was a 19th century woman who is poor enough to be married off but she is soooo talented in everything - she is a great musician, educated, a dancer and also a budding journalist??? And which big business family would have allowed their bahu to roam the streets writing stories in the 1940s? Very inauthentic.
