Gappa Tappa corner thread 10 - general discussions - Page 75

First Kapil Sharma came out with lockdown episodes with mobile camera shooting at individual houses. Then Sony Marathi with lockdown serial. Now SRGMP special on zm to celebrate 25 years of SRGMP. It must be quite tedious to shoot with individual mobile phones and in the serial they used 2-3 mobiles in some shots.

@bhetupunha - like you said before you thought ELTG was much better than ELDG and I disagreed . Later we gave up debating on that likewise we will leave it here. But we continue to stick to our points. I continue to believe Marathi films hardly do commercially sound business.

But sir, ELTG is better than ELDG 😆 . I am j/k 👍🏼.

Ok, all of us have opinions 👍🏼, but IMO, as long as films are being made in Marathi it is obvious film-making is profitable that is why investors are investing 😎 though profit returns might not be as big as Hindi films😵.

Interesting discussion about the state of affairs of Marathi Cinema.

It is true that for a film to become a success stardom is needed but stars like Subodh Bhave nd Swapnil Joshi should chose good scripts, else their stardom will fade away.

Except Sairat I don't remember any other film in recent times that did well at Box-office only because of it's content.

Hello sir, How are you ? 👍🏼. I agree with all your points though I differ a bit. To succeed film should have great content which includes performance, if it does not have stars and if it has stars then it should have decent script 😛. Stars will give you initial opening but if the film is not decently god enough people will turn their back on the film 👍🏼.

Sairat hit zhala,, but the careers of the leads never took off.. it was the story and songs that were Heroes...

Anyways I live in Australia and here they r now easing the restrictions, with upto 10 people in restaurants , schools reopening with a certain amount of children attending a given day at school..

Earlier they started with quaranting travellers in hotels and imposing strict fines of 1000$ and a detention ranging from 6 months to one year on people loitering out of their houses...

International travel seems to be a major hindrance now, with the social distancing norms, it will not be economically viable for the airlines to fly with limited people..

My father in law is visiting us from Mumbai ..he wants to go back now,but the tickets are three times the normal value..he is 73 and running out of medicines..guess life will not be normal until the end of this year..

If I am not wrong, Australia was not as much affected as Europe or America 👍🏼 . Till date there are about 7000 cases of covid19 ans about 100 deaths

They have started releasing new movies on digital platform. This will be a major major setback to theater owners. Also allied businesses like restaurants and distributors will be in serious trouble if this practice persists even after the lockdown gets lifted.

I wonder if the prices at which the producers are selling their movies to the OTT platforms are good enough🤔. I think Gulabo Sitabo would have certainly made more than 30 crores👍🏼, the price at which the producers sold it to amazon.

Saw the movie 702 Dixits.. Strongly Recommended.. Excellent thriller... But the script is not adequate and lacks depth... Overall an excellent mystery that grips you from the word go

Ty for the recommendation 👍🏼, . Is it on youtube 🤡?

Oh..but reviews are bad.

Sometimes reviews can be a bit misleading 👍🏼

Even after lockdown is lifted there will be social distancing norms in theatres and multiplexes which will make it nonviable as ticket prices may have to double to cover up for less occupancy. Just as single theatres disappeared after multiplexes came up, after covid we may find multiplexes disappear and streaming will be the norm. That's my guess.

I don't think that will happen 😎.

So whats the latest. When do u guys think tv crew will resume their shooting?

Though we all know its never goin to be normal henceforth esp always a threat of some or the other virus, its a shame we hv to live under this constant fear of some calamity.

I am so longing to go back to our pre corona life😞

No fear no mask no fear if travelling .it looks like we would never be free moving forward

I am so looking fwd to marathi daily soaps🙄

Wish we could erase this bad year forever😫

Dont want to spend rest of life in fear wearing masks not able to touch or hug anyone

I guess things will return to normal in time .

This is how it must be living in the times of plague 🤢 . I hope China does not give us another virus😈. In 2002 also SARS was found in China😵. I guess China is a country of viruses 😆

With Mumbai being the hottest among the Red zones, it looks highly unlikely this month at least, unless they shift their shooting to other regions. But will they shift is the big question.

There are actually Green zones in the Red Zones😎. The categorization of Red Zones is too macro IMO 😡

India simply cannot afford this kind of culture. Apart from movie theaters - Even work from home culture will result in huge loss for our economy. Use of petrol, cars , bikes, restaurants, eating stalls near offices like vada-pav, idli dosa, chai ki tapri, taxis , autos, buses and what not. Govt earns thousands of crores dailly only on fuel sale itself. Lot of industries / service sector are dependent on each other. They will be severly affected. We have huge population.

I am in absolute agreement with you sir. 👍🏼All these are revenue generating, job generating activities 👍🏼
