Helllo friends 😃 🤗

It's time for a new Discussion!

Friends, everyday we read new and different film previews and reviews in this section. And today we would like to ask you, if these influence us?

And if they do, then in which way?

Do they stop us from watching a movie we might have been waiting for?

And do they make us watch movies which we might have not planned to watch at all?

Have fun discussing! 😃

Have fun and keep smiling!!!😃

Love,

Film P & R Section's Dev.Team

Oh good discussion Khushi!! I think previews/reviews help sometimes. Likee a couple months ago I had noo idea about the new release Laaga Chunri Mein Daag until I began noticing some articles and promos/pics started coming out and slowly slowly I was interested in the movie! I can't wait for it to release, it looks really good .. if I hadn't read anything about it or seen the promos/pictures I would never have known bout it .. and maybe probably wouldnt have watched it ... So Previews are good .. I like to read movie reviews AFTER I'm done watching a film because sometimes they really do influence your thoughts and then you don't have your own opinion on the movie .. you can only think about what you read. So I save the review reading for after and see if what I thought matched what the reviewer thought.

Friends, everyday we read new and different film previews and reviews in this section. And today we would like to ask you, if these influence us? Ya they do influence and make us watch the movie even if want to or dont want to

Do they stop us from watching a movie we might have been waiting for? Nope, they make me eager to watch it😳😳😆

And do they make us watch movies which we might have not planned to watch at all? yes that happens alot of times. Fros eom movies we dont know anything abt the cast we just go like...Bakwaas cast so no need to watch the movie but whena new song or trailer comes which has a star who i very famous that makes us watch the movie😳😳😳

Great discussion Khushi di!I had a lot of fun asnwering the q's😳👏👏👏

I think they do in a way and they don't at the same time.

If I know the story of a movie and I don't find it that interesting and even if the reviews are great I would not watch that movie and vice versa.

Sometimes tehy do affect us like for KANK, the reviews werent that great and reading them I decided not to watch it and then watched it later when had nothing else to do...

So I think it depends on the person and the movie. If its interesting and different reviews, no matter how bad they are, won't make a difference to its success...

Btw, nice post and topic 😃

Friends, everyday we read new and different film previews and reviews in this section. And today we would like to ask you, if these influence us? Yes. They influence me.

And if they do, then in which way? I get a pre-image of what the movie will be about so I start creating a mental image about that movie.

Do they stop us from watching a movie we might have been waiting for? sometimes.

And do they make us watch movies which we might have not planned to watch at all? sometimes.

Yes they defintly influence us..😃

Not really.. I still go more by the promos, and if i have been wanting 2 watch a movie, i will still watch it.

And do they make us watch movies which we might have not planned to watch at all?

This happens wid me more often dat bec of a good review, or preview or plot outline, i mite watch a movie, i wudnt have watched otherwise. However the movie has to be the genre i like.

Yea they do.

And if they do, then in which way?

If two movies come out on the same day (Eg. OSO and Saawariya), and one is a flop and the other is a hit as the critics say, the you know to go to the hit movie

Do they stop us from watching a movie we might have been waiting for?

Yea! I wanted to watch Saawariya but I read the reviews which weren't that great. So yesterday I went to see OSO and it rocked

And do they make us watch movies which we might have not planned to watch at all?
Yea! I had LCMD and JWM at home. I wanted to watch LCMD but according to the reviews it wasn't that great so my family and I watched JWM instead and it was awesome!
Have fun discussing! 😃

Have fun and keep smiling!!!😃
