    Like imo if movies like war, sanju, padamavat and such released now, maybe they would not made 400-500 cr but they would not have flopped.

     

    Issue with Bollywood is they not made quality big budget content. 

    True....these movies wouldn't have done same business for sure now. Among the 3 one was a snoozefest, one was cringe and the other was overhyped 😅

    I think the film looks interesting and seems a lot of effort went into it.


    I think audiences like that .

    All these boycotts wont have major impact....many were saying slump is due to this.....brahmastra proved them wrong! It may open to great numbers and become a hit/superhit or a disaster/flop if the content is bad....but the opening gives us idea that content is key

    well its on pace for 80-85 in the US and over 100 overseas now with Japan still on deck.  So it actually did fairly well in its attempt to set up to be a franchise. not that it will . 

    will do 95m worst case scenario in US....considering the cost dont think sequel will happen...but if it gets some following post release...maybe few years down the lane...they can

    I don´t understand it, 2 weeks prior the pushed it with more PLF screens, and then this PVOD without getting the 700 M....i really don´t understand this movement....

    shitty stuff from paramount... they should have made PVOD available post next weekend on a weekday...which would have atleast ensured TGM would have grossed more than 710m max

    Bheemla Nayak & Bangarraju didn't recover, so as per ROI model they weren't HIT.

     

    RRR didnt break even in Andhra, TN, KA & Kerala, had minor losses. 

     

    DJ Tillu & Major are chillar success but fine. Bimbisara, Sita Ramam & Karthikeya 2 definitely HITs. 

     

    I was under impression that Tamil industry had more HITs but seems like 5 it is. For what its worth, they didn't had big FLOPs like Tolly. Beast is considered underperformer but it did 120. Similarily Valimai also did closer to 100.

     

    Anyways, unrelated to this, I am trying to come up with a verdict system that don't consider ROI but how a film performed at box office as method. By that films like SVP, Bheemla, Beast, Valimai which might not have made money because they were sold at high prices to other parties may be judged as success due to their actual performance being good.

     

     

     

     

     

    For Bheemla nayak you need to factor in ticket prices issue in AP and last moment release due to AP governments vendetta...if you look at its footfalls it would have done great here compared to other regions...if this movie had normal ticket prices it would have been a big success....also the rates would have been revised considering this issue and Bangarraju recovered its investment 30-33crs its a BE for sure...hit 

     

    RRR also recovered overall...just because movies have some minor losses in certain territories you cannot claim its not a success...you need look at big picture

    Telugu is having pretty eh year as well. There were 3 back to back hits this month which made it for a good read otherwise RRR was only real winner this year.

     

    Bollywood has 3 HITs; Gangu, BB2 & The Kashmir Files.

     

    Tamil is the best one so far this year.

    Please have a look at successful movies in telugu...how many successes does tamil have compared to telugu? You have different way of analysing and judging movies 

    Vikram, Thiru, Don and Viruman or KVRK

    in telugu we can list out DJ tillu, Bheemla Nayak, RRR, Bimbisara, sita ramam, karthikeya 2, bangarraju, major

    This recent spike of interest in south movies is temporary phenomena. Hindi audience won't get 3-4 big south movies movies each year like KGF, RRR & Pushpa. 2022 was an exception. They will ultimately return to theatres to watch bollywood movies.

    when will they return is the question? Every industry has bounced back a bit with some hits while Bollywood has just 2 hits this year...

    Kannada -7 hits

    Telugu - 8 hits

    Tamil - 3-4 hits...but they have some decent grossers which falls in avg zone

    Like I watched Johaa Akbar yesterday and yeah modern bollywood movies have better production values.

     

    However that chemistry between the two leads is what bollywood lacks in films i find these days.

     

     

    I watched that historical epic with Akshay and Panipant lol

     

    The leads where so boring and bad 

     

    maybe thats a factor too....complete miscast (leads) especially akshay as samrat and bacchan pandey was messed up at so many levels...wish he does something like hera pheri, welcome, garam masala kind of movies to comeback...hes good at comedy...

     

    To be honest even better production values wont help...it has to be coupled with content/music/promotions etc...

    Bollywood is a bit dead I feel even outside in the NRI markets. 

     

    I remember as a kid bollywood blockbusters would dominate conversation for months and be seen by everyone.

     

    2000s was the hey day really, movies like KKKG, Kal Ho Na Ho, Jodha Akbar, Om Shanti Om etc.

     

    It seems regional films and south films have taken their spot...for example punjabi audiences instead of watching bollywood movies in theaters now watch punjabi films and they come out for big south films like RRR and KGF.

     

    Bollywood needs a revamp...they are doing something wrong which is making people stay away...i feel content is bad these days...if they are going too classy movie is going for a toss and while being commercial centric they are not able to entertain the audiences
