Do you rely on word of mouth to see a film?

It depends!

If it was a film of one of my favourite stars then I'd see it no matter what.

But for example, I wasn't going to see BBB because i thought the promos were looking quite silly and too wannabe punjabi. But after all the good reviews and people praising Anushka and Ranveer s much, I am definitely going to see it!

oh God!

i remember my friend who likes upen patel raved on and on about Shakalaka Boom Boom (if any1 even knows or remembers this movie 🤣) and the she managed to convince me to go watch with her

1. we ended up being the only 2 ppl there

2. i literally almost fell asleep, would have succeeded if she hadnt kicked me

3. the rules in a cinema hall is "no fones allowed"... i ended up turning mine on and had a nice texting session

😆

simillar thing happened for quite a few other films i trusted from word of mouth, and i genuinely think theres no fun in watching a movie with a few ppl in the audience, the whole vibe is boring from the beginning

i only trust promos & song promos etc. and my own judgement (if it is worth paying for to watch in cinema or just buy it along with a 5 for 8 pounds offer 😛

If the movie has bland promos and songs, then it is not going to entice people into seeing it! The movie has to have a good script, story, and direction! We have seen so many big hyped films in 2010 that fell flat on their face! So unfortunate, but good the audience is teaching these damn directors a lesson that they will never forget! 👏
