Final verdict: JTHJ and SOS - Page 3

There was no negativity around SOS...

-The court case helped them gain more publicity and bring SOS to limelight esp. when the industry's attention was focused on JTHJ even more due to the sudden death of Yash Chopra. YRF emerged as the "doer of all evils" instead cuz Ajay sued them on monopolizing. So wasn't the negativity directed to JTHJ instead?

-As a few members posted around here, the number of screens for SOS were increased by a few hundred recently.

-The film was guaranteed hit because of its genre. This 'kind' of masala movies are what's working in Bwood right now. JTHJ was always promoted as a romantic movie (which doesn't directly appeal to the masses)...but JTHJ was also a guranteed hit cuz of the star cast + YC's last film etc. etc.

-The number of screens issue:

Some member posted a list of films that had a clash over the years, a few weeks ago. The data showed that there was almost always a discrepancy with the number of screens ...the difference btw the screens ranged from 100-200 anyways. So, I dunno how a difference of 300 btw JTHJ and SOS is made out to be such a big issue now...

@ khoslakadhokla I see your point.. but I guess I kind of felt bad for Ajay because I think he was also worried that he couldn't stand a chance in front Srk's film and on top of that he had limited screen space.. but that said I see your point. Those are very good argument which can be discussed in a healthy way.. to be honest.. I don't understand these fan wars.. I guess because I stayed away from most of the JTHJ review/ discussion thread.. am not relly aware of the fan wars or why ppl are sick of these two films.

And I actually felt nervous for Shah's movie cuz SOS was good competition...ppl have come to love Ajay and his recent masala movies worked very well like Singham, Golmaal series, and Bol bachan...he has catered his own audience like Salman has. Plus, SRK was involved w/ like 3 controversies within this year which may have damaged his reputation...I actually feared that JTHJ may just become an average movie in terms of business cuz of the many factors working against Shah himself. And as the fact remains, 2 big movies releasing on the same day and yet doing so much business is an achievement in itself...and to be honest, as you can see, Ajay's SOS did give good competition to JTHJ.

All that's well ends well?

I hope everyone can follow this and just stop debating and trying to pull each movie down. I've only recently started getting very irked w/ how everyone is so ready to bring SRK down...and its not just now, its been happening since Salman started rising again, Amir gave Ghajni and 3 Idiots..and now when Ajay is pitted against SRK.

Phew! I guess I'm done...thanks for listening 😳
