Laal Singh Chaddha reviews and box office (DT Warning p30) - Page 27

Someone brought up a good point.

We want to see younger fit and relatable characters, because most movie goers are young ppl.

I would seriously watch korean shows rather than Bw

Don't think this is the case. HR is Bollywood's last superstar. And, he isn't exactly young. None of the "young" actors are bankable, nor do they have that starpower.

Ranbir is on his way to becoming Bollywood's RaGa - forever young and upcoming, sans the starpower. Ranveer and Varun B-tech stars.

I feel Bollywood has lost its core audience. It hasn't helped that Bollywood celebrities themselves brag about not watching Bollywood films, and hold a condescending attitude towards Hindi Cinema.

It's 2022 and speaking in English is still considered a status symbol by a loud section within Bollywood. People can sense the colonial hangover these days. That's awfully off-putting.

Regarding that "malaria" dialogue , the literal line is : (SPOILER )

My post praising Aamir's sense of what Audience likes..it has disappeared 😆

Mods don't like people praising Aamir?

Laal Singh Chaddha First Day Estimates

Thursday 11 August 2022 23.00 ISTBox Office India Trade Network

Laal Singh Chaddha had a low first day in the 10-11 crore nett though with a pick up post the afternoon it managed to get in double digits but it will just about. No doubt the number is low as its come on a holiday as well though its not a huge holiday but when a film does not cater to the youth or mass then you cant really expect big opening numbers in todays scenario.

The industry will see the numbers as shocking but there maybe still more shocks ahead until films get targeted at the audience which is coming to the cinemas. The film is in the same zone as the Christmas release 83 and the disappointment is that it did not go above that film on day one with a better cast and more holiday support than 83 which was a Christmas Eve release and that is not as good for box office collections as Raksha Bandhan.

The film is doing better in pretty much the same areas as 83 with Delhi NCR and South leading, The cities of Punjab picked up well for the film but the circuit of East Punjab as a whole should have done better.

The Hindi circuits have not performed at all and really need a miraculous turnaround but the film can do reasonable business in the metros over the extended five day weekend. The issue is the huge expectations as its an event film coming in a strong period but with this sort of start those industry expectations have little or no chance to met.

WTH!!

I am literally shocked..

this is same opening as Gangubai..and lower than BB2..an Aamir khan movie..like seriouslyyy

what ..why..howww..like i don't understand at all..how did this happen..i thought these trends are only SM thing..i still don't get it

Now the question is will the Chinese market make it a hit? His flop Secret Super star did well in the China but TOH was rejected.

The opening is a shocker tbh. Aamir gave 50 cr opening with that most trolled TOH.

Haan bach gya..turns out Adi Chopra was right this is an episodic film and not plot heavy so newcomer should not be cast.

Adi offered Junaid a period film which i believe would be plot driven and as per Junsid's personality coz Aamir mentioned Junaid is in no hurry for debut

Junaid is doing theatre right? At Least one nepo is trying to learn acting before debut unlike the other recent ones

No recent news about Junaid's YRF film right? Is the shooting completed?
