A whopping 55% think that decision to pay should be based on merit and not gender.

Thanks for agreeing with my point.

Stars are responsible for initial week days and weekend collection. Then this collection gets multiplied by a factor deciding on WOM. If WOM is extremely good, it might make 10 times the initial week end collection. If not, it might stop at 3 to 4 times.

Screenplay plays a role in this multiplication factor. Yes. On its own, it might be nothing (single digit). But when it multiplies with 20 crores, it yields a bumper.

Good screen plays cannot make a Raj Kumar's movie collect 100 crores (if it's initial week end collection is around 10 lakh).

But it can decide whether a Khan movie collects 80 crores or 240 crores.

May be, everyone should go for profit sharing.

Screen writers should get a profit share of 2nd or 3rd week end's collections. People won't come for the star on 3rd week end. They will only come if the film is good (which is based on screenplay and direction).

Similarly music directors and singers should get a share in music rights. Stars cannot sell music. If so, why Dangal's music is not as hit as the movie?

I know you will disagree but star power is overrated IMO. Yes having a Salman or Shahrukh helps but at the end of the day, most blockbuster films are a combination of several factors. Why dint Race 3 make as much as BB? Because BB was the better and more entertaining film. Yes a superstar can salvage trash upto a point but there is a reason Aamir delivers ATBBs. And it's not his star power. It's simply because he does better films. Anyway forget the Khans. They get a share in the profits anyway and they have a substantial fanbase. That is not the case with most other actors. I don't see why an Abhijath should be paid ten times lesser than a Ranbir or a Ranveer. He has a better success rate than most of these actors in Bollywood 😆My point was simple. Stop paying these exorbitant sums to actors (the ones producing will anyway get a share in the profits), pay your writers and other technicians reasonably well and focus on better stories.

I don't think you got my point. I was only talking about the fact that you cant deliver ATBBs just on the basis of star power. Aamir delivers the highest grosser mainly because he does good films unlike the other Khans. It had nothing to do with Aamir's lack of fan following or star power 😆
