Its a helpful article i think distributers should not put excess money in films blindly. Producers who sell it to them needs to be less greedy coming out with a flop name is not better than getting few extra crores. Hit and flop does matter for next films. Boney kapoor made a blunder.

He only earned 13-15 cr. from his 30-35 cr. investment. Didn't even take the satellite/music rights. How is he greedy?

Probably should have sold it at base price and earn if the film made profit along with the distributors and exhibitors if such deals are possible ...this way no one loses money. Here only Boney made a 12-13 cr profit everyone else lost ... Not sure how much Tevar made but such kind of understand might have made the film an avg/semi hit atleast ...maybe.

If he had sold the movie at base price he would have taken the satellite and music rights which according to this article was 12 cr. Ek hi toh hui na?

I'd call Salman and his brothers greedy. They make their movies at cheaper price, Salman takes the satellite rights. And they sell their movies at double/treble the price.

I'd call Hrithik greedy whose movies can't make as much as the Khans movies, yet he asks 50 cr. from the producers.

Tax not deducted. If you deduct tax.. it becomes net.

I'm assuming you're talking about Jai Ho.

Why would anybody compromise the price just to get a Super Hit label? Jai Ho, at a lower price, would have been declared Super Hit, but it turned out to be one of the most profitable ventures for any producer - and from that standpoint, it was a wise decision.

Jai Ho didn't Flop either so not all distributors incurred losses.
