Samosa critics are at it again!
They are trying to push the latest Hindi release as a 'success' with headlines like 'film opened well' and the blah!
Critics that don't report collections of any Hindi film, reported daily collections for Friday, Saturday and Sunday (even before Sunday ended) - hailing 'below-average' collections as 'extra-ordinary'; of course, their reason of reporting is more than just Samosa!
Just like producers that feed cinema are doing a dis-service to the film-industry; these samosa critics are doing dis-service as well - by calling a failure, success.
Here is the occupancy of 11pm show, 15-minutes before the show, five-people in a 240-seater auditorium. This is Day 1 of the so called success; one can well imagine the fate from Monday onwards!
Point is, why do production-houses want a 'flop' film to be called a 'success' - why do they want to change the reality to a favorable perception.
Answer is investors. No investor invests in a lose-making or flop venture; so the producers go all out to call their flop film, a success.
Case in point: Gangs Of Wasseypur; the film was perceived to be a success; but years after its release, in 2017-2018, Anurag said in an interview, he didn't get any money for GOW because studio said it was a loss making proposition. Point is why didn't the studio or Anurag correct the media or news-outlets, when precious ink was spilled singing glories of GOW, when it was initially released.
Answer is simple, it is all business!
