Good post again~ is there any post of urs tht I didn't like 😆
A perfect result of over exaggerating the money earned from the show and
good example of fallacy of straw man! 😆 ( haha my critical reasoning teacher will be so proud)
Ha Ha Ha ! I agree ! I remember in DID 1 finals they said that Salman got 8.4 lakh votes, Alisha got 8 lakh votes and Siddesh got 7.9 lakh votes. So the total is about 24 lakh votes which means = 2.4 million . So if Jai (4h place) got about half of what Siddesh got (It is highly unlikely but I am taking the worst case scenario so please bear with me, BTW I am a huge Jai fan) then the total is still under 3 million.
Now if you consider that about half of the votes are through internet (again worst case scenario!) then it means that in the final episode they got about 1.5 million votes which means people spent 4.5 million Rupees in the final episode. There are about 10 episodes where junta votes (after Dada is done) so, the total would be
2 million Rs* 10 episodes (I took 2 million here because I think people are more charged up in the finals and again it is the worst case scenario)
So the total is
20 Million Rs for the 10 episodes
+ 4.5 million Rs for the final
~ 25 Million RS total
And then a percentage of this would go to the cell operator also. So, in any case it is not more than about 10 to 12 Million Rupees from the SMS. The ads and product placement (e.g.Kit -Kat break, Nokia song) are separate from this calculation.
Also, they must be paying huge money to TL, Remo and GM for 6 months of their time + something to the contestants + 50 lakh prize money + technicians + sets + Dada
What do you guys think? I like the Mallaya analogy LOL !
