Money rules the roost as they say....In Bollywood the saying is’’ we make what sells’’.
So what ’’sells’’??
Take up any movies review in a newspaper or magazine ....and what is the review on???
Correct me if I’m wrong but most of the time its on the collections it grossed in the 1st week 2nd week and so on...whether its a ’’hit’’ ’’superhit’’ or a ’’flop’’ as in money terms....read’’ How much it sells’’...never mind who buys it ...or whether its a well made movie having some strength in its storyline and the actors have done justice to the role.
The mindset revolves on these three as obviously one has to recover the inputs and make a profit on the venture ...but are’nt these the concern of only the people directly connected with the making and marketing of the movie?
But why do we have to be informed of it .....do we care????
Guess Its happened with me. I have to actually search for a good movie review instead of reading the running status of movies in the cinema halls.....or be content with an analysis of the director/ actor...his past movies ...future ones or the status of the ones in the making ....all in a movie’s review.
Well there are good reviewers out there ...really good ones....and the truly fearless ones are the ones on Mouthshut.
Enough Said. ;-)
