like in katti batti

promos mein they show the successful ones (deepika/ kangana) and try to sell it on their names

but in actual movie they are barely there

audience today, like trade analysts said, would go to see a movie coz of deepika padukone not ranbir kapoor..they did but they were disappointed that she was barely there

makers were too hesitant on showing too much of ranbir in promos..they tried there best to show more of deepika to pull crowd but it back fired coz in actual movie she was hardly there

also yeah 2nd half was really slow

Really? I thought Ranbir and Deepika were shown equally in the promos..Which makes sense cos their pairing is popular and it was in sync with their effed up strategy for promotions. If the makers were hesitant to show Ranbir, they wouldn't have randomly added Ranbir lip-syncing to Heer toh badi sad hai in the promos when in reality, it was a solo Deepika song in the film 😆 And whatever happened to all the arguments that content reigns supreme? If Tamasha was a good film with universal appeal, it wouldn't have mattered who had more screen time in the film..I get that Ranbir has delivered 4 flops in a row but common, this is taking it a lil too far 😆

Because Piku and Badlapur were better films..Also because Shoojit Sircar and Sriram Raghavan are better directors than Imtiaz Ali 😆 Great performances don necessarily make for a great film..Ranbir and Deepika were good but the film was annoying esp. the first half..Hirani made a million times more entertaining and relatable film on the same subject of following your dreams 😆

All the reasons mentioned above doesn't mk sense

Piku and Badlapur are good films.
