Those of who kept abusing me for mentioning October in the title the idea is not to make it a Varun vs Alia thing. But to have a apples to apples comparison. October and Raazi are two films which released in the same year, stars privileged starkids of BW who are touted as God's gift to BW, have the same amount of experience, both films had very little buzz despite having these 'superstars'.
I did want to put some small content films starring other 'superstars' like Lootera, Barfi in the title but I realized these films had other factors to sell the films so the opening of the films could not be attributed to them alone. Plus these films released few years ago so there is inflation and tax structure to be accounted for.
Also irrespective of how much Raazi makes I am not going to turn into Alia's fan like some people here have a habit of doing. I also appreciate Varun's work ethics even if I dont like his films. But my main grouse is the trade refusing to give any credit to the heroines for how much they open at and how much they earn finally. And fans also following this herd mentality. Its time trade and fans acknowledge many factors other than the hero goes into a film's 'success'.

Thanks Nyasa!!! What a mature response unlike immaturish comparison by TM for unnecessary reasons. Knowing TM is a former SRK fan (or maybe still is), it's fair time to give her credit for Dear Zindagi. Alia with Kar Gayi Chull must be the reason for that 6cr opening. Who is Fawad and Sid? 😕

And yeah right October did underperform and will happily admit what a bummer opening. It did get better reviews than Raazi but BO had no hype prior release unlike Raazi which did generate great hype post trailer.

Let's put aside all factors for October. Yeah it wasn't promoted like Raazi or had such appealing genre and all. Like we can seriously ignore that. But in all honesty they say the first trailer speaks for the product itself and mainly opening. October having confusing cut trailer lead lukewarm responses. It didn't help with flop promotional songs. Raazi was backed up with a genre rather more appealing than October (art/slow romance).


But in all honesty I have always acknowledged Alia's star power. Maybe she in BKD & HSKD she was less contributing factor but now with such opening people wants to believe it's absolutely fine. Varun still has 3 more 10cr plus opener (in fact his 3 highest opening films aren't with Alia) and fact remains he has 3 more 100cr films with out Alia (BKD being only one with her)...

Quite intrigued and looking forward to Gully Boy and Brahmastraa season. All these folks gonna give her credit or is it just to put Varun down? And to whomever saying Alia has the biggest role should know Varun plays the key character who is termed as Kalank, With Shooting date reserved till November/December for this film. And first poster will release with him. Shot 2 songs already and one without Alia but rather Kiara Advani.

Alia overtakes Deepika if this anything to go by. And since Anushka is almost considered flop by this whole forums I am actually excited for amount of support she will gain throughout Sui Dhaaga. SD is VD's playground. Maybe not usual masala but a pan-india film. Looking forward.

Curious question? Varun fans are called so much names. Also called out for being cocky and targeting critically acclaimed stars. Is that really the honesty or people just doesn't want to digest his success track? Not bragging but like come on. I feel sometimes every other VD fans must hate me with amount of accusations on me by other members saying I target Rajkumar and Kangana. 😆


BMing this so that I can find it later. I could not find your other tall claims later as your ids got banned. Also taking a screenshot incase this thread is trashed or my id is banned too.
