Bollywood is not back - Page 2

Pathaan is an exception. Many factors including fans yearning for SRK contributed to its huge success.

I guess pan India basis current tendency shows that mostly larger than life movie works. Be it RRR, Brahmastra,KGF 2,Kantara,Ponniyin Selvan all are either fiction ,purely fantasy or has elements of fantasy which demands theatre experience,also except for Kantara ,other movies comes from already acknowledged PH or director.

All other pan India successful movie except for TKF are either sequels or from well known directors whose previous films were consistently successful and demanded theatre experience.

There is Vikram which created havoc in south Indian box-office not just in Tamilnadu,in Kerala,Telugu speaking states.And it is well made action thriller.

IMO now a days movies will not work just because of the actor, more than before along with genre atleast the main crew members should be appealing.

However the makers would be wondering why a well made remake like Vikram Veda flopped while another remake Dhrishyam 2 got positive box office verdict.

As long as a film is entertaining for the audience, they can take it to any level. Khan Saab's comeback film, with the biggest ever release scale, pushed that film to new heights.

Pathaan's success has shown that we have a open market where a solo release can generate that much business. Pick any template and release it big: 5500+ screens, 1000+ screens overseas, IMAX, 4DX. If film is that entertaining, money will start ringing.

I am having positive vibes for "BHOLAA," which is coming in IMAX and 3D as well. If coming solo on a big scale, that can make a wave too.

Just cos Pathan smashed every record , that doesn’t mean business would be back to pre pandemic levels. This just reinstates the fact that audience would spend money for ONLY big event movies . Same thing is happening for HW where Avatar broke records but small films are regularly biting the dust. I am sure most of the next releases won’t event cross Pathan first day .

This is true. It just shows audience will only watch entertainers with big stars that offer a spectacle and escape from reality. They want massy content and watch rest of stuff online on OTT or wait for TV premiere or download illegally.

Audience's attention span has also reduced. Especially since Insta, YouTube, Tik Tok entertainers came with short videos.

To say BW is back on track or even all big star films will do well, is premature. Audience has way more choices online in terms of content.

They may turn up to watch Deepika in Pathaan but will not show up for films like Chhapak even if the intent, message, story and acting are good.

To ALL the Boycott Bollywood supporters.

Show integrity for yourselves and admit that you ALL

May have miscalculated this one. 🤣

Yes I agree people are only going for big films

Well Covid, inflation, recession. People will spend money wisely. They might not see remakes unless WOM good. And yes they seeing movies by superstars who they not seen onscreen since years now due to Covid. Aamir movie was forest Grump remake. Most have seen the English movie, plus it was slow, etc

When Padmaavat was a blockbuster despite the threats and what not and the movie not releasing in two major Hindi speaking states, the threats were called fake and a PR move and it’s success was attributed to these fake threats by the conspiracy theorists. Today when this movie has gone through a similar situation, we want the people to show integrity and own up to their denial?. 😉

Bollywood as a business will find dynamic ways to deal with socio-political and socio-economic adversities 👍🏼

I agree.

bold: The first time I read about I thought "NOOOOO, don't do that! Even if it's your dream, don't do it!"

Although I did (and do) not wish him bad and was sad about the outcome and what surrounded the movie, I didn't watch it (and may not watch it ever).
