The buzz of HTP seems to be very low. I think it may face the same fate as GTPM. I know HTP is a very good film and I want to see it, but it seems as if Dharma is facing problems in production now.

I have watched GTPM and it was a visual treat. But I admit HTP has good looking actors just like GTPM, but GTPM had bonus songs and hit songs. But HTP is lacking pop socks except Drama Queen and maybe Punjabi wedding song.


Dharma had given a big round of huge promotions with GTPM, there was basically no reality show where imran kareena hadnt gone. I think this time they are going to take a different tactic.

Not only this, I feel even Gunday and Shaadi ke Side effects will have same fate. Maybe Bewakoofian too, but need to see the trailer.

gunday will be better. It seems a well made film with good actors. Superhit
shadi ke SE has 2 best actors. i also believe this will be a hit

HTP seems another GTPM
it might be a better movie
but the story line seems a balaji soap

i am fed up with pari in this rom coms

I was watching Punjabi wedding song and thought exactly the same thing
They started with a decent trailer but every new promo makes it look to Thanda and Stale

Gunday has the benefit of an awesome trailer and better music. It will probably sail through and might just be a big blockbuster.

SKSE looks the best of the lot. I cant wait for it.

The typical Dharma rom-coms have become dull and stale to the majority of the Bollywood audience. Dharma has lived off the exact same formula for decades. So the audience was bound to get bored of it. I don't see any real hype or buzz around HTP, Gunday, etc. All of these films could flop if they don't open high enough or if the word of mouth is not good.

Shubh shubh bolo yaar šŸ˜”

I know HTP hasnt piqued the interest of many,but I m rooting for the movie to do well..The trailer was impressive...songs have become popular but the visuals give u a vibe of "been there and done that"..I love Zehnaseeb but I wish they had a done a better job with picturisation of the other 2 songs...something innovative so tht they didnt look like yet another stale Dharma romcom...

But unlike GTPM many ppl are loving the pairing of Sid-Parineet(tho I dont belong to tht list)...so *fingers crossed*...I wud be honest,want this movie to work only for Sid's sake!

I don't think it will meet the same fate as GTPM. GTPM was disasterous, one of the reasons contributing to it was too many films in Nov. which released before and alongside it. How many films will people pay to watch in a single month? Plus Ram Leela had tremendous buzz and SSTG was also there, GTPM got swept away and didn't do even moderately well which can be expected of any decent rom-com.

Whereas HTP is the first release in Feb and all the other releases come after it only. I for one, feel that it will get the advantage. Plus by 7th Feb, the Jai Ho wave will have calmed down I guess. If HTP is a solo release then I don't see why it shouldn't do at least average business and grow with WOM if the film is liked by people. Nowadays hardly any films are absolute disasters or flops bcos of controlled budgets and good marketing and HTP especially doesn't even look like a big-budget film- recovering costs shouldn't be a problem.

The film can be average at worst, but I don't think it will go the GTPM route.

I think all 3 movies HTP, Gunday and SKSE will have positive WOM and will fare average to good at BO.
HTP cant be as bad as GTPM, no way! GTPM had one the worst pairings and HTP has a youthful and good looking pairing.
