Gangubai Kathiawadi Emerges A Sure Shot HIT - BOI - Page 3

If a movie always needed to earn more than its budget in domestic Box Office to be considered hit, none of Akshay's movie will be hit. His fees alone are sometimes higher than his movies' lifetime collections😆

As far as I understand (I may be wrong though) movies need to earn more than what it was sold for to the distributors. Since Gangubai makers already have struck a deal with Netflix, it's possible that they did sale the movie to the distributors in much lower price. That's why it can get a hit tag even if it earns less than its actual budget. Which is good in my opinion.

Though I would agree, I am a bit baffled why this method of computation was not applied to other movies as well. Especially post pandemic. If you estimate the earning this way, no movie is truly a flop. Someway or other they are recovering their cost.

Wow, quite the start for Alia & SLB.

Alia, because the general consensus was that she didn't have the looks/"it" factor to be a SLB heroine, so there was already lower expectations on this film than SLB's films with DP-Ranveer. And she was the only one doing (very mundane, drama-free) promotions, so the audience coming in knows it's the Alia Bhatt show.

SLB too. When Saawariya flopped, he became a massive joke in the late 2000s (esp since OSO was a smash hit) . Guzaarish didn't help him, but then he got lucky with Ram-Leela and the RS-DP pairing. And then he stuck with DP-RS for a decade for his next 2 films. The fact that he's still luring audiences (in the first few days at least) without his hit jodi also says a lot about him and his films as a brand.

I will add, it's only the Monday after, so we'll see how this fares out in the next week or 2

Oh dear god 🤣 I’m not a fan of Alia as it is, and now you’ve made this wacky connection between her and Trump’s slogan. This is …. Yea, no.

Anyway, movies are declared hit without reaching their budget has nothing to do with producers profits. Making deals with Netflix or satellite rights or music rights are all a producer’s business profits. What matters is how much money the distributors make. Has everyone forgotten the nightmare of Tubelight and its distributors? Gangubai was sold to the distributors for 90cr. With 105-110cr it’s barely breaking even.

The fact that every analyst is changing the formula, and even BOI claimed on day one that it only needs 65cr is only adding to the whole “Alia gets everything handed to her” argument. I don’t think this is about Alia actually. I think everyone is desperate to declare this a hit movie to give the perception of cinema is back. Several big movies are coming out in the next couple of months.

How can they bring back cinema with false and delusional claims. Forget actual budget, without even it collected the distribution amount and people in a hurry to declare it a hit. 🤪 desperation or delusion 😆 calling Alia goddess 🤣and happily forgetting to give credit to SLB... Alia PR remembering me Sara PR (initial launch time, remember?)😆

uff tauba...kitna dukh ...kitna dukh...😭😭

Well, it’s sort of like raising morale. It’s about getting audiences excited about movies and going to the theaters again. Add to it the whole pandemic and lockdown angle. Analysts are already calling it a return to cinemas or return to normal. Whereas saying that Gangubai didn’t become a hit is leaving everything in status quo vis-à-vis theater going public.
