Bombay Velvet is a mediocre film

People are writting articals on this coz the amount of negetivity it received even after being a decent movie from social media and main stream media. It was funny the way people were tweeting negetive comments on bv inspite of not seeing it. Such approch towards the movie made some bunch of intalectuals think what is the reson for blind hatred without even seeing the movie. If u see and criticse a movie that makes sense than without seeing n criticising it. Not jyst one but there have been plentry of article about this behaviour, is it due to anurag or ranbir.

Sorry. But so called negative comments are posted for every film. BV has not been trashed the way Ra One was. PK has been made butt of jokes and called anti Hindu even when it had just started shooting. The first case against it was slapped during its making itself. Salman films are called shit even without announcement of what the film might be about. Media had left no stone unturned to run down Ghajini. They made headlines like Aamir let down audience with such a violent film and whatnot. But it went on to be the 1st 100 crore grosser.
Mangal Pandey was trashed but it was atleast a record opener! Unlike washout BV.

In contrast Ranbir has been treated with way more respect. And Anurag is called pathbreaking no matter what.

So please stop giving this hatred or negativity excuse. BV has infact been let off lightly. Films have been treated worse than this despite being successful or at least not the disaster that this film is.

If a fim is liked then nothing can stop it. They kept trending Boycott Haider, PK Anti Hindu blah blah but films didn't get affected.

It's a fallacy that tweets killed a film. Majority of movie going audience in India doesn't even bother about tweets and reviews. They go by promos and WOM. What some friend or colleague says matters more to them than what a review/tweet says.

In response to the article, which was posted in other thread too, copying same reply in this thread:

What do we have to do with business that we get bombarded with articles of how much crores a star got as his fees? How much his film made and what records it created?

Why do TV channels keep showing even predictable, repetitive films of so called Superstars and Jubilee Kumars but don't show a Naseer or Om film?
Why is DDLJ aired more often on TV than Kabhi haan kabhi naa?

Why Aamir doesn't discuss Raakh that won him National Award? Why AB doesn't discuss Alaap or Main azaad hoon?

Why when you hold retrospectives on stars and filmmakers or pay tributes to them, you choose only popular and commercially successful films?

Why industry did not give due to likes of Pankaj Kapur and Supriya Pathak and they got noticed more on TV? Why you remember Ghayal or Betaab but not an Arjun from the same Sunny Deol?

Why some good TV shows are also abruptly taken off air? Who made the ordinary person familiar with terms like BO, budget, TRPs etc?

Who gives full page ads on front pages of leading national dailies, announcing the crores a film made?

Who started giving awards more on basis of popularity and BO than quality or merit?

Who hosts multiple success parties or tweets on crores a film made?

YOUR FRATERNITY. YES! YOU.

Don't blame us! YOU bombard us with money talks and rankings based on money!

It's like chit bhi meri patt bhi meri! I gloat over crores my film made, if it's successful. But I cry a river if its losses are discussed!

And please stop mentioning Parinda, AAA and Jaane bhi do yaaron with BV! Those films were made on shoestring budget. Especially Jaane Bhi do yaaron. NFDC funded it. Others didn't even give it a chance.

None of those films was as hyped as BV was. BV has been making news even before its cast got finalised.

There's no escape from reactions and post mortem if the makers themselves build such hype.
Other small, cult films never had such hype. Their makers didn't go around saying it will sure shot make money.

You get your Anurag experience as you like. But you can't dictate public on what experience they should have. Or judge them if they do not like that "Anurag experience".

Even many Kashyap fans didn't exactly like it. So time for self introspection perhaps instead of writing such blogs about others and pointing fingers at the audience?

As public we watch films to de-stress, escape, get entertained or to relate to. Many of us don't even know names of banners or filmmakers. So please stop this bullshit about the Anurag experience. You're not doing a favour to us by making films. You decide whether you're making films for us or critics and fraternity. If you target us then keep in mind, we want value for our time and money. You're not bothered about our experience. We are not supposed to bother about yours either. None is doing a favour to the other here. You do your thing and let us do ours. By writing such articles you're not going to earn sympathy or extra brownie points from us.

Next time don't put ads on accept awards based on crores you made, if you don't want everyone to discuss money.

Oh god enough already. These letters and aggressive defending of BV by the media and industry are seriously annoying. A bad film is a bad film it got neither critical appreciation or commercial success, no need to defend it's failure. There have been plenty of good films which haven't worked at the box office that nobody has come out defending. If the industry doesn't want the audience to care about numbers than they should also stop celebrating like maniacs every time a mediocre film does 100 crore business

I like this article & also atonis post.

I think that both producers & audience are to blame for the whole number business. The producers started flaunting it, WE fell for it & started talking about it & the PR talked more about it & we talked more about it & it's a vicious cycle. But I think it's upto audience to stop talking about it...twitter ho ya forums...just stop...PR will not stop unless they see the number talk does not add any value to the movie. So right now the onus is on us to stop giving value to numbers & instead discuss content of a film. i get the point of this article from that aspect. I don't give a rats ass about numbers BUT I talk abt numbers because everyone talks about it! So let's stop discussing numbers. Let's not click on those articles about numbers. Let's not associate a stars value with numbers, let's reject TV shows about numbers...let's focus on I like the film I don't like the film. Good films will become hits. Shit films will flop. Some films will flop to become cult classics. Some films will always be shit. Some hit films will become shit over time. Some will entertain for centuries!

Its amazing how everyone wants everyone and their dog to give benefit of the doubt to this film.😆Arre bhai...kyun? There have been better films that have flopped at the BO that deserved to do really well, some of them Kashyap's films. Why no articles for them?🤪

Satya vachan 😃

Blah blah the article sounded so wannabe-fierce!
