"Though it received praise from urban audience , IT professionals, science enthusiasts, political commentators & psephologists , its overall appeal remained niche."

I honestly don't know how he got this line... Ya itne kam logon ne dekhi hai ki sabka biodata bhi mangwa liya?

And psephologists???? maybe they watched bec they were interested in studying the intersection of law & order and judicial misadventures and the effect of it on electoral turnouts in a ficticious asian country

^ had to Google that word to know its meaning

Karan wannabe kingmaker Johar. The arrogance burnt him.

Everything that happens (to oneself or to others) is a lesson to learn, I think. I don't wish bad to Karan, Alia or Vedang (etc.)...I even hope that it will make them progress in their way of handling certain things.

Why? Fans still may have enjoyed the movie on big screen

The promo itself written flop all over it. This will be a learning lesson for Karan and Alia to focus on good scripts. And for vedang too to accept good movies and not accept movies just because he got to work with top actress and top film maker. It makes sense why vasan made such statements in his interview. Not celebrating their failure but it is high time they get a wake up call. I am happy Divya spoke up to what she spoke up.

Agree with everything except the line about Divya (still want to verify if she is right in what she stated).

You mean Vasan’s Jigra featuring Vedang?

I only feel bad for Vedang. Hope he will be able to pick himself up post this train wreck.

There must be more to the story regarding Divya. She is a very nice and sweet person. Everyone is shocked by her revealing the pictures. But if what she and kangana are saying is true then Karan and Alia needs to focus on their own work. I have not watched the movie Savi but watched the scene between Anil and Divya and that scene was very powerful and excellent.

Jigra was made with a budget of 90 crores.It will end with the lowest LTT.

The below films all recovered their theatrical budgets.

Look at the Language used. I hope BOI and the paid lapdogs continue with the same tone and narrative for the rivals.

Thappad - A Close Cousin Of Chhapaak And Panga

Thursday 27 February 2020 12.30 IST Box Office India Trade Network

The audience had to bear Chhapaak and Panga earlier this year and now its seems those films have a cousin with Thappad. Actually its not just Chhapaak and Panga but another dud Saand Ki Aankh which came from the same family. The makers probably thought this one was a huge classic so even dared to release on Diwali but the writing was on the wall from day one.

There is not much to say about the Thappad trailer as it would have been pretty hard to watch for most of the country which will be reflected in box office collections. The makers sell these films be it Thappad, Chhapaak or Panga as they are creating awareness or teaching society something but how can you do that when the audience count is so low and that too its mainly the high end multiplex audience where a large percentage is actually English speaking. Also today the audience is not coming to learn from films as the industry hardly as that sort of reputation and there will be better places for them to learn than some film which is actually an opinion of the makers.

The simple fact why these sort of films are made is thanks to the extra revenue from digital over the the past few years. The film can cover a large chunk of the investment from digital and satellite so even if no one watches in theatres there will not be losses though this can go wrong sometimes like with Panga and Chhapaak when the talent is taking a bigger chunk out relative to the potential of the content which then has to make a mark in theatres be it India or Overseas.

The fact is that Thappad belongs to digital only and not cinemas but then the digital revenue will be much less as its not a feature film. Saand Ki Aankh and Panga did a little over 20 crore nett and Chhapaak did a little over 30 crore nett and now lets see where this family member Thappad goes. The film had these four star reviews coming out earlier on the week so the media seems to be on side but the real judge is always the public.

Harminder is on Dharma's payroll for many years. Rocky Rani opening credit they gave to only Alia. However, Jigra opening below Vicky Vidya is failure of content but not failure of Alia's BO pull or the lack of it. Oh the narrative shift to save Alia from face loss.
