but here something just stuck my mind...
UGLY was released during xmas...
good buzz was there...
it got the screeens and showtimes which were in accordance to the stature of that movie...
good reviews..
everything...
(and as someone stated in this thread...a small film should be pitted against a big one on festivals and both will excel)...

but everyone knows what did happened... it was a major disaster despite being low budget, good buzz, proper screenings...
so there is another big question mark here..
😆



Did you truthfully expect Ugly to be a superhit film?

If you read the reviews, if you read people's reviews, you'd realize that the movie made the kind of buzz and impact that it intended to.

But it's more of a laughing matter, if you thought that the makers wanted it to be as much as a financial success as say, PK 😆

With that said, there ARE other filmmakers who do want superhit fares, which is reflected in the kind of movies they make. It's THOSE that are in question here

Well I never ever gave even a slightest hint that I was expecting it to match pk's business.. obviously not... what I meant was lil films can be successful too as per their budget.. but it didnt ..

yes I myself stated that it generated a buzz and many liked it...but why it could not even recover the small budget even in those long holiday periods... it should atleast recover from its niche audiences...
anyways, film business and its analysis is one of the trickiest and unpredictable on so many levels...
so yeah, we cant give a general rule of thumb and simplify things as such...

Did BOI seriously try to say Dhoom 3, Kick and HNY are better projects than Drishyam, Baby or even Gabbar is Back? 😆

^ there's a lot of factors that come into play.

Maybe a film like Ugly is not the kind that people wanna go to a theater and watch. Lots of people who enjoy that niche could BE SAID to prefer to download the same... its not the equivalent of a more niche feel good film that maybe couples or select families would enjoy viewing together on a big screen.

@Chippeshwani

So What u wanna say that Salman or any other Khan sohuld move just coz of some other actors ? And Why So ? Did any other top star / Actor got aside and gave them their place when Khans were in their initial Stage ? Koi kisiko jagah nahi deta hai Film industry mein ..U need to make ur own place . Agar aap mein talent nahi hai toh Kitni bhi holidays leke baith jao ..koi faida nahi hoga .

Secondly , U can't expect Salman or any other Khan to avoid their Fans wishes who want to see them on Eid , Diwali or Xmas . Ab Khans Apne Fans ki wishes chodke kisi doosre actors ka toh nahi sochenge naa . Right ?

Anyways I don't wanna stretch this anymore . We can have our own views on this matter . So lets agree to disagree & be happy with our own views . & end it here . Good bye .

^but just because it's Salman, it doesn't mean it is justified or ethical
I personally don't care about what fans want really, but yes, my personal opinion is that I think the Khans are clutching too hard at their last straws and are pulling out all their big guns to do so

Also, I don't entirely agree with using "fans wishes" as a way to support business manipulation lol.

Would that same mentality apply to other industries? it doesn't make sense to on one hand say the Khans are not practicing tacit monopoly, and then when it is pointed out that they are, say that it's fine and in the course of normal business
