Bang Bang is action genre i.e. more pleasing to the eyes so on surface Bang Bang looks to do well but for Haider it all depends on how good the script/direction and acting it.

But, b
oth movies might go on to do well - OSO and JTHJ.

SOS did well cuz action lovers didn't bother with romantic bullshit jab tak hai joke. In this case Shahid neither has a physique nor he has charisma and the trailer looks meaningless even in the eyes of high intellectuals like me. So I cant see anyway people choosing this film over the masala of HR-Kat.

Script, direction, acting and JTHcrap ermm.JTHJ in one sentence ? 😲

Made money because people like me who like SRK would see him onscreen in anything. Plus it was Yash Chopra's last film which he 'directed' and was dead by the time it released. So it made money...not because it was good , it is SRK's crappiest film and then some IMO.

I watched the trailer, too. It's not my cup of tea so I'll skip Haider. Bang Bang, although I like action, I'll skip.

That's why I said that BB is a pleasing to the eyes no brainer movie but for Haider to do well, the script, direction and acting has to be strong. Haider might not get a huge opening but if the movie is good, WOM might make it a success.

I didn't put JTHJ and script/direction and acting in one sentence. Not even in the same paragraph.😛

I haven't watched JTHJ and Son of Sardar.
Sorry, my bad, I meant to write SOS and wrote OSO instead.

I brought JTHJ and SOS in as examples because they are different genres i.e. more choice for the audience and were released around the same time.

JTHJ: Romance
BB and SOS: masala-action flick
Haider: tragedy drama

For tragedy drama movies to work, they need a strong script and direction. Star power comes into play much later. These movies do well depending on the WOM - if its positive or negative.

Romance and Masala-action movies are more dependent on star power so get huge openings, there script and direction comes later.
