This is how you support outsiders ?? - Page 7

They will watch it because it's coming for free. If it was a theatrical release, it would have tanked based on the poor trailer.

With regards to people whining about outsiders' movies not being big budget and getting less PR, I agree. But what do you expect? Why should people invest money on people who are unproven? They might spend on their family or friends because they care about them. But why would excessive money be wasted on random people who have not proven themselves? When outsiders come into the industry, they already know what to expect. They are not entitled to rich producers rolling out the red carpet for them. Complaints about low budgets and less PR are invalid because they are not entitled to anything.

If an actor truly connects with the audience, their popularity will keep rising and people themselves will turn him/her into a star. Then they will get all those big budget movies too.

My reply was in response to this in your post:

How do we watch it when we don’t even know such a teaser has been released ?

The fact of the matter is that both the teaser and trailer has been released in every social media platform with much fanfare be it youtube or Facebook or twitter or instagram. All entertainment journalists be it Taran Adarsh to Rahul Raut to Himesh Mankad, everyone has tweeted and raved about the trailer, famous youtubers like Jaby Koay have posted reviews about the teaser and trailer on their channels so it negates the thing about people not even knowing that such a teaser has been released.

You might personally not follow news updates that's a different thing but when you used we, you are talking collectively about a group of people that is the audience.And it's still not possible that despite so much promotion around by Zee5, no-one has any clue about such a film. It's being promoted in every available social media platform so the only reason people don't know is because they are simply not interested in the film.

And it's not about you, it's about the general public since you used 'we' and that's the only reason I quoted your post to talk about everybody and not specifically you. IF visits are pretty high, which have increased even more after lockdown. The forum has a lot of silent members and even more unregistered visitors, the reason why this website is still successfully running and has reached to the position of being official media partner of several big budget Bollywood films and that's only because the traffic of this website is very high and it is a source of information related to entertainment for many. It might not be the source for you but it is for others.

nice try .. if it was this big promotion then I must be living in a cave
Or is it the minimum any low budget movie gets .. ???
And stop getting stuck up at “we”.. it’s just a form of expression .. duh

What sort of promotion do people want? I am curious how more can teasers/trailers be promoted?

Which era are people living in ? Outsiders have to connect with audience to get big projects and media hype 🤣

When literally star kids land on Filmfare cover before they even debut ?
when gossip media churn each and every thing these nepo kids do right when they are born and are in their diapers and brainwash the mind of audience to wait for their mega debut .🤣

Amidst that who cares about a struggling newcomer with no name and fame .. somehow lands up in a low production movie with bare minimum social media updates .. even then some clicks coz of their sheer talent but there is no guarantee they will get another big movie.. they keep doing low budget movies one after another ..

lack of publicity Ofc ..
Just putting out there won’t work ..

Who stopped Vidhyut from promoting it, if at all? We all knew this movie was being released on the Netflix...Didn’t we just have a huge discussion right here on IF about how he didn’t get invited for the release? So its not like people aren’t aware of his this release...

@black- You indeed are! 🤷‍♂️

@red- A film like Yaara would not have gotten even 1% of the promotions it is getting because this film was stuck since 2017. It's releasing after three years on OTT because it found no buyers on theatrical. Yaara is getting promoted more than it would have actually because digital promotions are not as costly as theatrical promotions. Plus Zee5 wants to expand their catalogue of direct to OTT release to give competition to Prime and Netflix. That's why it's Zee5 who has bought the film and not NF, Amazon or Hotstar. Because the film has no interest among the audience.

@blue- ermwhut?

Maybe other industry people can tweet or re tweet it

But looking at Vidyuts twitter he doesnt seem to do it for others. Why should they for him ? ❤️

Maybe the OTT platforms can go to every household and do this..

given how the blame for outsiders not getting promotions ha shifted to marketing department of OTT platforms.
