Just because you try to do an October and fail doesn't mean anything. You have to try something DIFFERENT and make it successful - only then does that work -all those films you mentioned are mostly failures. You cant toot a horn about being offbeat and then not bring in the numbers. Sorry but no. Look at Sonakshi, despite doing Lootera she is still in a bad position, she was not able to DELIVER commercially - and thats just as important - and that's why she is in the position that she is a today - almost a nobody. This is a business not a stage show. Even a Vidya Balan is limited...she can only do certain kinds of roles -does that take away from her success?
And even in his ZONE Varun hasn't had the success that Tiger has who consistently delivers huge opening numbers - even for his bad films.
I will give Varun credit for Badlapur I'll let you have that. Although I personally didn't find him entirely convincing. The tapori tone worked in his favour.
I am sure Tiger will try other cinema at some point, but until that point lets wait. If you consider failing at an offbeat film to be better than having a huge box office opening like 25 crores - then OKAY lol 😆
