As much as I love Salman this is hilarious..
And your reply is even funnier.. 😆

crises?? may be... every year 100 odd movies release and only 8 to 10 of them get noted , one or two become blockbusters and remaining hits, semi hits ,

Its in crisis of some good scripts.

The ticket price is too damn high. Here in the US I could afford to go to movies (most of them multiplexes) once every month comfortably with popcorn drinks etc. Whereas in India, a person could afford to go only once every 3 months.

I don't think it's in a crisis, but moving forward, if a lot of the 'jobless' folks want work, they will have to generate it themselves by partaking in and developing new financial models for the business of film-making. If movies aren't going on floors because the production cost is too high and therefore no one is ready to release funds for the project/has that kind of money, then they need to downsize. And I really desperately think that (a) it's downright ridiculous how much some of these movies cost (b) big budgets should be a consideration for some movies, not most movies. BBB was made with a small budget some years ago, and it did good business, got a good response, was appreciated, and eventually served as a spring board for the entire team (actors, writer, director) to get more work. Same with Queen this year, which was made on a small budget, got a whole lot of profit and critical acclaim, etc. The problem is that a lot of filmmakers have 'grand' plans but don't actually have content to back up the display of money in their movies. Result is that the audience checks it out for about two weeks, there is no WOM to convince/reach other people and get them to come out for viewing, so the movie naturally dies out. The goal of a lot of big productions at this point almost seems to be 'how many people can we bring into the theater before they figure out this is trash/mediocre' based on the name of a big actor, flashy visuals, one/two items songs, or exotic locales. Essentially by making these sky-high budget films which do not have solid content, they're just trying to maximize on the number of people they can dupe into coming out to theaters under a time crunch. Isn't inflation in ticket price also a result of this too? 5 people we get coming in and giving us 250 is more profitable than 5 giving 100?

I think the producers have gotten a little too ambitious. YRF last year's releases: Gunday, Kill Dil, Daawat-e-Ishq, Mardaani, Bewakoofiyan, Aaha Kalyanam. This year they have five (?) releases.

Who has the time to watch five movies in a year? The kids, teenagers, and college going kids in India are busy with school and classes. Watching a movie is like a rare treat for them especially around vacation time. Most of the middle class spends the whole day at work. Once in a while they might go watch a movie with the family.

Every month there is a "shiny" new movie coming out with some star or the other, so you pick and choose based on the trailer appeal, and as per your own time convenience.
