😉😲 ANGELINA JOLIE amazes me with her movies. After 3 1/2 years away from the big screen, she generates a $70 million opening in one weekend. DISNEY backed her up and this project is close to $200 million. The movie will break even. Can you imagine any BOLLYWOOD heroine doing MALEFICENT? Much less a 10 crore opening, $70 million is mindboggling. That is even bigger than any Rajnikanth or Khan movie. Go ANGELINA! Please share your thoughts. Can BOLLYWOOD remake MALEFICENT with a top line heroine generating a #1 opening? 😳

Now? Probably not
Down the line.. its possible!

A good script does wonders at the BO for a heroine.. Vidya in Kahaani, Kangana in Queen.
There is more quality cinema being made now, before it was just all Masala cuz thats what made the most money.
I think change is happening, slowly, but surely!

Angie is one of the most beautiful people inside and out. She glows from happiness b/c she makes herself truly happy by being truly selfless.

Ok enough fangirling. 😆 I don't think that genre would work in BW right now. I mean how much movies geared towards young adults in the fantasy genre actually work?! The shouldn't do a remake but come of with original stories from tradtional folklore.

PS: Way to go Angie and girl power b/c even HW has an effin' glass celing and it's 2014. I mean I can't believe HW even toda is hesitant in female-centric films not delivering when Angie has done in Tomb Raider/Salt, Sandra in The Heat, and so many others.

You also need a big banner. DISNEY is huge, if they financed a project starring a Bollywood actress it could do wonders in India. Don't you think? 😉

Yes in those genres. But probable not the fantasy genre or sci-fi b/c the effects just aren't up to par. But I do believe there can be so much experimentation done with this genre along with horror flicks.

Hetal, you are to cute. 😳🤗 Can you imagine Aish doing a role like Maleficent and SLB directing? Wow, that would be heavenly. Bollywood will never do anything original anyway. And they will ruin the remake. If Disney approves a Bollywood remake, I am in favor of it. A $70 million opening is amazing in this day and age.

hey girl!

Ugh don't even remind me 😆..I love horror movies but it seems like almost every other bolly horror movie is about a girl scorned in love seeking revenge and using her bhoot skills to do so. 😆

And they all become possessed by the same dude b/c the voiceovers same the same. 😆

I wouldn't mind seeing something like The Woman in Black. Where it plays with your mind of The Sixth Sense. I mean classic Hitchcock films are so thrilling b/c it builds the suspense. And then in Hindi films random item songs happens and destroys that mood.

I swear, BW can do so much and I know there are tons of struggling writers with great stories to tell.
