  • Latch on to one of the Shirtless Clowns.
  • Look for a South script to copy or "get inspired" from (focus on testosterone fueled masala)
  • Kick out any writer who talks about logic
  • Cast Katrina or a popular South actress or someone new who comes from a filmy clan
  • Channel male chauvinism when directing the scenes
  • Hire a stunt director who can create mindless action. Preferably get him drunk (or high) on set.
  • Despite the crazy action, make sure there's not too much gore. Action must be senseless but not bloody.
  • Always go for a happy ending. Don't depress the audience.
  • Do NOT forget the over-the-top, slapstick, absolutely nonsense comedy tracks.
  • Make sure actors don't actually prepare for...acting. If anyone tries, fire them.
  • Catchy music.
  • Go nuts on the promotion. Don't forget gratuitous images of your hero's half-naked body, showcasing his 100 packs (bring out your gay side).
  • Generate ridiculous controversies.
  • Figure out a suitable festival/holiday release date that will work in your favour.
  • Send a hefty cheque to Taran Adarsh.

TMK was a semi hit according to Box office India...
Katrina's acting skills can be debatable... But her popularity, her BO pull, her star appeal...no doubts abt it at all...
Out of her 18 movies where she was the lead or the second lead, she has only 3 flops...
Thats abt 15 successful movies... Out of that except for a few semi hits/above averages the rest of the 10 - 11 movies are hits/super hits/blockbusters... Cant beat that...

it depends...u can't gurantee what and where it clicks...

like in today's times the masala movies are working like they never did before...making huge money for investors...

so today save ur film with a chick swinging her ass in 360 degrees on a spicy number,šŸ˜† some dolle sholle machoness of the male leadšŸ˜›, some bhade ke villians who are tied up with cables to fly north-west just on one punchšŸ˜‰...and u get a perfect blockbuster..ā­ļø.

but even then it's not guaranteed how long will it stay...
