So i hv read a lot on this forum during ADHM controversy that there is so much negativity and thats y it has done poor business. But if i analyze this situation and compare it with befikre thn thats what i call negativity. from many dislikes on posters, calling it semi adult movie and what not? thn trailer was a subject of mocking , now people start analyzing it with respect to indian penal code, same people who comment its a movie dont take it seriously whn their fav is involved 😉
during adhm there was not a negativity around content, content negativity is biggest negativity out there.
So if wd such negativity befikre manages a hit, thn whole credit will go to RS. Its not easy to make a movie hit whn there is so much negativity around its content. Ex - BV and mohenjodaro

right now, my biggest problem with befikre is veer and his armpits.

saare bandan ke baal saaf kiye, under arm ke baal kyun nahi saaf kiye?

he almost looked juicy in that laal undies in ude dil song till he put his hands up in air...and juicy turned into bilkul dry.

abhi waqt hai...connect with him and pls have him clean his under arm.

ohh...tell him kuch bhai seh seekh leh, how to keep it all clean.

bass this is the biggest negativity for me at the moment. if i see more, will update.

neagtivity is spreading news that movie is crap though it might be true from weeks before the movie release . Such kind of grapevine is bad for the movie and directly affects the opening weekend of the movie . Now a days movies are largely dependent on these 3 days and hence it is very much important .

Examples :_

1. Bombay velvet - movie was doomed from the very beginning , so much negativity was there even before the release and even before the trailer launch that it took an uprecedented low opening for ranbir kapoor starter

2. fitoor - same as above

In both the above cases propaganda was started quite a long time before the release and I suspect people like KRK were paid to do so as was evident from his demeanour.😳

Now thats just my opinion 😆

Personally, I wouldn't say there's only negativity around Befikre. The comments and dislikes it is receiving is quite normal. Because, people are just like "eww" at the kissing/nakhras shown in the movie. Lots of movies receive different kinds of negativities - "this will flop" blah blah blah.

And it is receiving positive reviews too - songs, dance are being appreciated. Plus, some people like it too - on this forum are a minority - and this forum is not exactly a reflection of outside world 😆

A movie is said to be surrounded by negativity when there are groups that seek the ban of the movie, when it starts reaching a protest stage. IMO.

negativity around a movie at max will affect the opening but over all its the content that decides the fate of a movie.

and coming to negativity towards the content of befikre, that doesnt matter at all. remember grand masti did a business of 100 crores.at least befikre trailer /content is not that bad. if the movie is good it will surely work.

movies which are bekaar depend a lot on opening 😆 , so 20-30 cr mein bakwaas bana kar ka kama lia in 3 days like hate story and their sequels 😆

bahut baar yeh bhi hota hai itni opening mili hai toh utni buri nahi hogi toh bheed chaal mein sab kood gaye 😆

How much a negativity affects the movie depends on how long it lasts.

In the case of BV, it was way much before the audience negativity. It was the entire industry's. Whether you wanna believe it or not, the entire industry really wanted BV to fail. For the simple reason being that Anurag Kashyap, the torch-bearer of Indie cinema, wanted to make a movie that might've encroached into the main-stream market.(how delusional was he). More than threatened, these industry people felt that how dare this Indie director was trying to get a piece of the pie from their market. And, everyone knows how much Anurag Kashyap lashed out at the "main-stream" people and created hatred for himself. The media negativity around BV was un-precedented. And, the genre being gangster-drama definitely did not help its case. People don't celebrate disasters as it was in the case of BV. From it's inception to release, the amount of bad-will from the industry was consistent. They knew Ranbir wouldn't get affected cuz of his status. They wanted Anurag out of the game before he even got in

You can say it was Anurag Kashyap's karma coming to bite him.

I think it was similar case for MJD. But, not as much.

Jagga Jasoos also has a lot of negativity around it cuz of the delays. But, few leaks here and there from the schedules have helped things.

In the case of Befikre, every BO trade journalist I'm seeing says that it's hot in the trade. You're getting too influenced by the forum and YT comments world. 😆

If the movie is a hit, it'll go to RS. If it flops, it'll be blamed on the content. That wasn't a convenience Ranbir was afforded during BV.
