83 movie review and box office #ThisIs83 - Page 20

Unable to understand why the collections are low, because everybody around me has raved about it and are saying theatres are running to packed houses..(from Mumbai), ofcourse Maharashtra is operating at 50 percent capacity, but still it doesnt make sense, specially since Spiderman and Sooryavanshi got good openings and did good business??

Seriously. This is demotivating.

Huh. I thought the holidays will give it a decent multiplier. But looks like we are getting another Zero situation. Jersey will take away whatever screens are left on Friday.

What’s going on? The reviews and the box office collection isn’t consistent. Is this because of Covid? If the movie is truly good, then it’s so disheartening that shitfests like Sooryavanshi was a hit.

I think the movie isn't for everyone since it showcases what already happened and many people might think it is better to catch it on ott. Covid has affected the livelihood of many and tickets are also costlier, and the budget is too high. Spiderman crowd had lots of teenagers and school going crowd, which is missing here. Maybe they should have released it at a different time.

I haven’t seen the film and don’t plan to (I’m not seeing anything in theaters right now). 83 may in fact be a flop/disaster film but I hate hate hate the condescension of BOI for anything and everything they consider unworthy. They could make the case that the budget was wrong and it was a bad business move but on what grounds do they get to decide for all of India what are “good” films and what are “bad” films. The only way you can possibly claim to be able to make that decision is if you only view film making as a business - strictly commerce- and that is just sad. That will lead to Stupid Franchise Part 57 followed by knockoff of Stupid Franchise and remake of Foreign Stupid Franchise with an item number , essentially formulaic rubbish conscientiously crafted to sell tickets to people who are looking for 3 hours of entertainment and absolutely nothing else. Don’t get me wrong, there is a place for that and I have enjoyed movies like that and no doubt will again. But a film can still be good (and frankly I would argue could be MUCH better) and not sell a lot of tickets. Some of my favorite movies were flops on release. Many a now famous artist died unknown and poor. Sometimes it takes a while for an audience to find great art - that doesn’t mean it was rubbish until the right people liked it. And if no one had still ever heard of Van Gogh would that mean he sucked? The editorials for BOI drive me crazy. The only nice thing I can say is it seems like they have stopped using Mohenjodaro as the nadir of disasters - as a HR fan, gee thanks for that BOI.

Maybe the audience prefers Ranveer in chichora/OTT characters like bhansali movies and simbaa only . 😆
