I've read articles now that have talked about how Raazi's box office was also inflated. It was less understood and known back then so Raazi kinda got away with it but now with more awareness, people have called it out and confirmed that its numbers were also inaccurate and it wasn't the hit KJo made it out to be claiming that Alia was the first heroine to have a successful solo film.
Honestly, it should have been obvious just by comparing to the 90s against Sridevi and Madhuri. Some of the articles said that even compared to modern-day films, Rani's films are way more financially successful and even Aishwarya's Jazbaa, compared to this latest trash.
Also another Alia example is Darlings. There was a thread sometime back about streaming numbers for OTT films and hers was at the bottom of most streamed films. Deepika's Gehraiyaan, which was treated by the media as a flop, was at the top of most streamed OTT films, and Madhuri's Maja Ma was also very high. This shows it's all about perception. KJo crafts a narrative which has no evidence or truth behind it but he repeats it enough that people start to believe whatever he claims. Kangana, for all her faults, has done one thing right which is to call KJo out on this and expose his fake box office collections.
