Gangu had a huge budget but I don't think it had 190 crore(what did they spend it on).
It was a movie that could have been made under 30cr and then could have been a huge hit.
The question is will distributors get money that is what it comes to if a movie is a hit or flop.
Producers make money through other avenues including ott, and other areas.
And that is why a Pushpa, RRR, KGF2, BB2 were touted to have done well as the distributor made money. And all were declared BB after a week. And we have Brahmastra being declared a hit even before the Monday.
It opened well but most of the reviews have been mixed to bad. You will require people to come and watch your films in large numbers after the weekend. Then it is a hit. They should have waited till next week to proclaim anything. Even genuine articles and numbers will seem fake now
