Why are these films with humongous budgets such damp squibs...?

Why are these films with humongous budgets, damp squibs in terms of visuals, content and theatrical experience in general?

Ra.One, Kochadaiyaan, Bombay Velvet, I (Shankar and Vikram) and also Krrish 3, Dhoom 3, HNY to some extent. If you consider slightly older movies, we can also include Blue in the list.

I'm not really talking about the recovery as such, but reception of these movies in general. So much money is spent on these movies, yet the results are not satisfactory. People don't mention them very fondly.

Where do you think does the problem lie? In controlling the budget? Or no proper vision? Or compromising over the story-line while focussing too much on the grandeur ad gimmicks?

Movies like Mughal-e-azam ,Bahubali, Robot are exceptions though.

All things aside, Robot was not even a decent film in terms of visuals, content, theatrical experience by any standards what so ever

No scope for subjectivity 😛

I personally didn't like the movie much, so I wouldn't have a problem adding it to the damp squib list, but I don't remember the wom of this film being negative. So I put it in the relatively well received films. That's it. 😆

instead of quality and content major part of budget , say 50% dedicated towards star's increasing fees and promotion . They overlook the basic product , content in this process, when the real product is bad than star , promotion etc. cant always help it to be successful.

It's pretty sad though, such improper use of money! 😆

James Cameron is the boss of the biggest budget movies and he puts his vision in them.

Budgets of Jodha Akbar and Ram-Leela weren't as huge as the above mentioned movies, I guess. Devdas, probably yes.
