Failure of Laal Kaptaan Was Like Mini Death in Family - Saif Ali Khan - Page 2

Aren't these people trained to talk to the media?

Despite that why do they make such asinine comments? A film's failure is like a mini death and strenuous exertion is equivalent to rape. What is wrong with these people?

Word to your post!

It was an amazing film , too bad people in India are so into religious differences to appreciate art . I think it was one of his best works ever. ever, and should have skipped realising in India altogether and gone to the world stage...

I just saw the trailer and makes me want to watch it.

I think another reason is Bad Marketing, most people haven't even heard of it.

A true disaster. 41cr budget and 2.68 nett gross. Yikes

Wow that’s a terrible end result 😆

Urrghhhh Saif's humor never translates well in these stupid articles. I've heard him say this before in an actual interview and he's clearly joking! He's laughing and saying how failure does impact you for about a day, you do feel sad.

He mentions Lal Kaptaan specifically coz he worked months in very strenuous dessert conditions, extreme weathers, taking hours in this makeup, growing out his beard and being away from his family for months, and so when it failed he jokingly said he felt said, like a funeral.

Not everything is meant to be taken literally you know? No wonder journalists feel celebs are becoming more and more closed off in interviews. Coz they get exploited with one line being thrown around, and people just sitting there judging without reading.

Its shocking the movie failed during these times, it was a pro hindu and anti muslim movie. Saif played a Sadhu

This is not the first good film that did not meet a good end. Sometimes we talk of things happening as if its the first time. The world stage is no different ...

so....coma?😆

but,laal kaptaan is actually a good film, too bad it tanked, but then, it wasnt promoted well, isnt something the theater going masses would appreciate, so it was silly to have hopes of it doing well😒

Wait....was there a movie called Laal Kaptan? I am hearing it for the first time.🤓
