KJo started it. Brahmastra, Rocky Rani india business was all thanks to corporate booking only. By looking the other way people have normalized it. The lines are so blurred now that we will never know if the success of a movie is organic or not.
People conveniently forgot about Brahmastra and RR doing this. I suspect the same happened with Gangu as well. Thats where it started.
A real hit or successful movie stays with you. Thats why years later, some re-released films are resonating with audiences. Literally NOBODY is going to watch Brahmastra again, but I am sure people are willing to watch YJHD or Sanam Teri Kasam.
They can fake the numbers all they want, if its an authentic hit - audiences will be able to tell and feel it.
 
 
 
 
 
 
There are many very talented actors out there who deserve success, but they don't have such tactics on their side to manufacture their stardom
