Guzaarish was a experiment, not a commercial film

😛 I know we are all wondering why Guzaarish flopped. The truth is, the film lacked one simple thing: entertainment. I am proud that Hritik and Aish did a meaningful film. I don't think they should be dissapointed that this film is a mistake in their respective filmographies. Instead, I see this as a film going into history as another Lamhe or Khamoshi. It will be remembered years from now. The film will surely be remembered for its performances and wonderful music. I think this film should get some critics awards. If Aish was going to retire with this film, it would have been ok. But, she is going to surely do some more films and not go away anytime soon. Same goes for Hritik. The truth is, SLB did an experiment and it was a big gamble that did not pay off. But, the film got mostly positive reviews that the box office quotient will go away in a month's time. I see Hritik/Aish getting some nominations in the awards next year. 👏👏👏

sorry i disagree..guzaarish flopped because it was not an entertaining movie...and by entertainment i dunt mean regular song and dance but basic grip on the script...and plz dunt even compare this to the likes of Lamhe.....Lamhe didnt work back then because the ppl weren't ready to accept such bold themes....but today's audience wants new stories and bold themes which explains the success of all the dev d's, and LSD's.....bottom line is...the audience accept experiments but not bad ones like Guzaarish.

Mujhe toh pata bhi nahi tha ki it became flop, where was I all this time assuming guzzarish was hit,hehehe

Nope, I'm not wondering why it flopped. I knew it would and it did. It is probably one pretentious mess of a work just like SLB's other movies (except Khamoshi). So yea, audience is sick of his drivel. He should "wake up and smell the coffee" like that writer aptly wrote.

Xeta, I haven't seen the movie and hence cannot comment on it! But after watching the highly over-rated Black and then Saawariyan, lost all faith in SLB!

His best, most heartfelt work till date has been Khamoshi, which was coincidentally also his cheapest production till date!

SLB focuses too much on curtains, fabrics, make-up and other asthetics and forgets that there is so much more that makes a motion picture!

PS: He does extract good work from his actors, though!

SLB tries to give a very utopian feel to his movies! His sets and characters seem like they have just landed to Earth from Mars! Nothing looks real!
