We can't really blame the public for Sonchiriya collapsing at the box office. The sole blaim lies with RSVP who not only marketed the movie terribly, they completely butchered the release. Shows didn't come online till Thursday night and Friday morning, the release was in barely 700 screens pan India with odd show timings. Plus then it turned out that more than half of the theatres are running a dubbed version which the actors have no idea exists.
Yes. The producers do not seem to have faith in the movie themselves
Yeah the dubbing ruins the experience of the film a little but the acting was so good I was somehow able to get get past that issue
You hv put it right Sanchit vrma
Correct.. even if you want to watch.. there is no proper show timings.. producer didn’t fight for the movie.. they never believed this could earn their money back.
dubbed version as in? I thought the movie was a mix of budelkhandi and hindi. I've no idea, hasn't released in theaters near me and waiting for it to come online
I think the main reason Luka Chuppi is doing soo well is the sudden hype around Kartik Aaryan and a huge amount of fangirling happening recently!😑
I think it has to do with people loving the small town light movie situations a lot.
@@r.22r the small town formula is gonna run dry pretty soon.. its becoming cliche anyways, you cant explore too many topics from a small town.... which direction will bollywood go next then???
Bareilly Ki Barfi and Raanjhanaa are set in small towns in India but people loved it because they had a strong script and story with heartfelt performances. Luka Chuppi was so idiotic and unrealistic
@@r.22r yeah maybe but many directors are making better, realistic and more entertaining films based in small towns too but they haven't done that good in box office. The kartik aaryan hype plus his success and charm with sonu titu does have a role here for sure
Aakriti bhattacharya I so agree with you.
I think #RSVP was busy basking in Uri’s success that they forgot to promote and get enough screens for #Sonchiriya🤔
Exactly.....how can one see it if it is not being screened in small cities?
Or even Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota
i wish my future is as glowy as Anupama's skin.
No lighting used for this video coz Anupama ma'am is already glowing so much!! Sonchiriya is what I'm looking forward to watch btw.
Nabeel Pbx watch it before it gets removed from theaters 😔
With the rate Anupama's skin is becoming shinier, one day she'll be able to outshine the Sun and replace Yami Gautam in a Fair n Lovely ad.
😂😂😂
14:22 Anupama says..Kya Kool Hain Cum err Hum..and we all know why Sucharita laughs ..
Totally didn't notice this and now I'm ROFL
Lol I can't 😂
yess sucharita was like bechari ko kyu phasaye isme :)
Actually....
Man I've never felt this horrible about a film not doing well. Guys please please go watch sonchiriya. Also rahul I don't know how you kept you cool for that question at 15:22 . Why do you even answer these questions?
I went through the same feeling when bhavesh joshi superhero bombed at the box office
People are dumb, seriously dumb. Mindless craps rule and it's just been proved again.
@AGASTHYA just a thought - don't you think that was the point? Hero doesn't need to have charisma, he just need to do good and continue doing it however bleak the situation is, he doesn't Need tough ideal body to deliver justice and i think it was perfectly casted for. Whole point of the film was any one can be a hero- who never gives up
@AGASTHYA SPOILER ALERT!
Sole reason for it being flop is terrible promotion by rsvp
Sonchiriya is undoubtedly the best. But Why Public is ignoring such a masterpiece?
As they said when people go to cinema they want to escape from real world and relax and specially the last 3 weeks have been really difficult
cuz majority of human beings are stupid and shallow. what do you expect. cheap things attract most customers
Small town bank clerk SSC aspirants watch commercial films only
Bcz Indian don,t like intelligent
@@NonaPrince One thing is for sure that now people will think twice before making these movies.
I watch these for Rahul Desai :)
This is shocking 😂
Me too
He is the best critic in india after Baradwaj Rangan
What's with all the static in audio? It's really a pain to watch the whole thing with earphones on.
Agreed. I thought there was something wrong with my headphones.
Indeed. That black labrador was awesome in Teri Meherbaaniya
Trollers will troll but it's just your opinion about a movie which you convey through this channel so don't pay much heed and don't get much effected Anupama! Cheers to good films and honest reviews! 🤘
Yeah i think u r quite honest Anupama (a lil snobbish but honest :P) n clearly a hard core bollywood fan. U shudnt need to justify ur statements, haters gonna hate, just chill n glow :) film companion is a great channel!
Exactly!! They shouldn't be defensive at all
The text reviews of Film Companion really do need good marketing because Rahul Desai's writing skills are just AMAZE. I read his reviews and think "how did he come up with that??" 👐🏻
Sonchiriya again a proof of class of Indian audiences!!
Sonchiriya does not release in so many theaters or get enough screens.. This is heart breaking. I really want to watch it but could not because I did not find suitable show time or theater near my location.
buy a 360 degrees mic and put it above the table.
Why don't you guys do web series review?
there was a guy who used to do it, but he has vanished.
Rahul reviews web series check out his Twitter.
One of the reasons for Sonchirya's failure might be the lack of music/album. Music helps keep the movie fresh in peoples mind since they're played on every radio/music channels and which makes the audience to check the movie. they've should have at least had one music track (remix hi sahi)
Also, I don't recall seeing the promos of the movie played on TV
exactly
Luka Chhupi works cause there is an young audience for it, trying to speak in English and wish fulfilling their fantasies with these run of the mills movies that don't strain and stress their minds like their JEE and govt services exam papers. All of that goes against Son Chiriya. Sure, if your friend is generous enough to buy you a ticket for it, you would go watch it because you've heard so much praise from the critics. But, there is no push for it on its own to people who probably feel bad every time they spend money in cinemas.
/trying to speak in English and wish fulfilling their fantasies with these run of the mills movies that don't strain and stress their minds like their JEE and govt services exam papers. All of that goes against Son Chiriya./ That is just your hackneyed even vacuous stereotype about something which you do not understand , what does speaking a specific language has to do with selection of the movie can it be argued that so called existentialist drudge bordering on spiel like sonchiraya is made because supercilious psueds want to appear edgier by watching and expounding their narrow grasp on philosophy ? so try to gain some perspective .
@@amritanshuupadhyay8269 Dude! I am not passing a judgement here. I've lived and breathed among the young lot I've mentioned in my comment. This is an observation. I am only acknowledging the existence of a certain kind of audience for a movie like Luka Chhupi.
After I came to know golmal again was a massive hit I do not get shock when movies like total dhamal run well at b.o coz for me golmal again was crap I tries but couldn't watch it even on TV
Oh wow yr..Just loved this talk..And 🤗👏👏👏For appreciated the #Sonchiriya for his so hard work putted in the movie. And specially thanks #Sucharita for SSR❤🔥..Lovely comment. Found one who genuinely liked SSR in critic side.💥💥🔥
sonchiriya main fault is release,, a niche film needs an empty slot with no big film around and sonchiriya released with total dhamaal and luka chupi
True
Yes thats it!!
These group sessions are way more fun to watch than some forced-down-the-throat 'comedy' like _Total Dhamaal_
And agree with Rahul here, _Dhamaal_ 2007 was actually quite funny in a juvenile kind of way
Guys let's go and watch sonchiriya this weekend.
It wasn't thaaat difficult to watch. It wasn't gritty or there wasn't any rape or chopping biff heads scene. It's just that it was a real real movie. We read news headlines like father in law raped bahut and 12 year old child brutalized, these many men killed police men killed etc. If critics can't see that and look through how great that movie is which unapologetically talks about caste system, it doesn't Just talk about it, it portrays the caste system. I trust film companion for movie review and only if approved by you all watch the movie, however 3 starts was too less for a masterpiece like sonchiriya. It was such a deep movie. Nobody wins at the end. It's Just a shame that such an honest and unapologetically great movie isn't being received well. Even Gujjar falls prey To it at the end. Sonchiriya deserves 4 stars atleast.
Personally, while I liked Manmarziyan, a part of me thought that the overt use of Punjabi affecting the movie made sense. Punjabi is not Hindi, and especially for people like me for whom Hindi, while we are comfortable at it, is a second language (and we are translating, in our minds), having to translate twice over is a difficult proposition.
Just give subtitles to quasi-Punjabi movies, guys. I don't have problems.
Totally agree with you
You’ve convinced me to go watch Sonchiriya, thank you! I love this channel, thank you for this too :)
I’ve always wondered why a movie doing well at box office is believed to mean that it is being liked by the audience? It has happened to me so many times, when I have walked out of the cinema during or at the end of the movie feeling disappointed(Simmba)!! But the money is gone, the damage is done! So may be, us, the audiences should be not ‘blamed’ for the success of nonsensical movies like Simmba because we do not get to see them for free, and have no option but to risk it! :( #hindicinemafan
if you watch a lot of movies... then you might develop a natural instinct of differentiating good content over average ones from cast and trailers.. your judgement will improve and you wont have to take risks all the time.
Well you do have an option. You can read some reviews before you go!
If Kapil Sharma show is a hit tv comedy, then no surprises in total dhamal' s success.
Guys watch sonchiriya it's a very good movie support good cinema
I love this show..actually it's educating and not just entertaining...it's like a professor (anupama) discussing the subject with her students
I wished you talked more about Spielberg VS Netflix
What's wrong with them ???
Spielberg is against the notion that Netflix films should be considered for film awards as they are technically streaming movies with a short window at selected theatres.
So what's wrong with it ?
@@kaykaykarwa so there are some who support Spielberg but many feel its not right, a movie should be considered for oscars irrespective of how its available to watch and that it provides means to smaller directors and filmmakers to tell their story to the world, which in other case would not be possible due to fiancees. Some say spielberg being an orthodox cannot come to terms with it. In Speilbergs defense some say that netflix should be regulated fairly and they should be monitored on how much they spent on marketing there films
What is there to talk about? Clearly, Spielberg is a nut job that needs therapy.
I was more heartbroken when sonchiriya did not do well than when my girlfriend broke up wid me😥😥😥
Sonchirya was a haunting gem!
Guys please work on your “ AUDIO”
Please please please!
I am great fan, and I think I can make this legit request.
More power to you!
Not being sarcastic i think all you three should start developing a script i am sure it will turn out very well.
Anupama is a writer, she has written many books and her husband is also a writer
I didn't even know about Sonchiriya until I heard it from Film Companion .
I have been listening to sonchiriya jukebox on a loop. Vishal bharadwaj is a different flavor of music. No one can do what he does. So, please don't say that the film had no music. It got fewer number of screens and, as always, majority of the audience is always interested in escapist cinema. But I am hopeful that movie will find its audience. I am looking forward to digital release as I couldn't watch it myself.
people chose a movie like lukka chhupi over sonchiriya are the same justice for sushant lot
I do want to watch sonchiriya movie but the screen is only one in my city n luka chuppi got all other 7-8 screens so we went to watch luka chupi and liked it. When we went for sonchiriya the ticket price was way too higher than the luka chuppi so didn't watch the movie. Hope it comes online soon
Marketing of sonchiriya is very dull
I wish sonchiriya picks up at least through the word of mouth. There are some masterpieces for which words are not enough to describe. I wish more people watch it. Apart from poor marketing another reason for it not doing well is it's downright pathetic dubbed version which I had to bear in the theatre. It just takes away the essence of the movie. Agar dubbing karni hi thi to acchi tarah se karte, but this one had cringy dialogues. Bundelkhandi with english subs would have made much more sense. I hope it releases on either of the OTT platforms so that we could watch it in it's real form.
This channel deserves millions of subscribers !!
TAME IMPALA I agree! How and why have people not discovered it yet?
@@chahatsekhon8761 because it's in english
Anupama and Sucharita are two very strong persona with always having a strong pov. And what i say about Rahul. Rahul is the only brave man with that cute face. Very very cute person.
I would love to have Anupama talk about her diet and lifestyle ...like what she eats and what she doesn't ! She is glowing all the time and whatever she is doing is definitely working for her. Please share!
i feel the same about C.I.D when he said "maybe i was dumb enough to like it because i was young".... interms of cid i can relate....haven't watched total dhamaal.
My Annu Aunty is way beautiful than some fancy Bollywood actress.
I was really looking forward to watching Sonchiraiya but cancelled the plan after Anupama's review and now I hear Sucharita praising it. I understand that Anupama could not connect with it. Given that, Sucharita should have reviewed the movie. Anupama's somewhat negative review hurt the movie. P.S.- Rahul Desai is such a darling.
You can still watch it. It's no a valid argument.
very fair comment on having early reviews come in at least 4-5 days before the release. Consider how early movies are screened for critics in the west and Rotten Tomatoes score are updated a week before their public release. This can really help push quality cinema to a (comparatively) wider audience during this release. Also, who decides when the movie is screened for critics? Is it only the producers or can few critics push for an early preview of a movie?
Your reviews matter to me!!! Great going guys... Love this channel... All the best 👍👍👍
In the theatre where I was watching Total dhamaal, kids were laughing and smiling, at the same time i was cringing every moment, was such a bad movie,made worse by Madhuri and Anil kapoor
But the question is why did you decide to watch the movie at the first place.. LoL
@@jnyanendrarajbongshi603 because I m rich and want to waste my money...lol
@Vidisha Roy actually no one knew Total Dhaamal would be such a bad film. Dhamaal and double dhaamal were comical enough, this one was a rip off :(
Be careful if you are listening to this on your headphones. Jump scare around 17:52 :D
You talk so highly of a movie like Sonchiriya and then drop a spoiler in the middle like it's no big deal. You could've edited it man. Being cinephiles yourselves you should know how big of a difference it makes when you start to watch a movie. Heavily disappointed.
Plz Plz People watch SonChiriya and support this movie
It's a sad thing, I really wanted to watch Sonchiriya but there was no screening near me.🙂
i saw sonchiraiya i enjoyed my time its really great dialogue and the slap on face of bhumi did hit hard its not depressing its impactfull go on if planing to
If people wanna watch comedies, they should watch something like mard ko dard nahi hota
People should watch what they want to. Not what some random dude on the internet says.
@@abhishekkumar3679 that's just my opinion buddy. Obviously people can watch whatever they want but mard ko dard nahi hota is movie which has never been made before in Bollywood and majority of the people don't even know about it.
I just love this show
I loved 'Sonchiriya'. I hated 'Luka Chuppi'. And I skipped 'Total Dhamaal'.
personally though sonchiriya's failure is heartbreaking..bt lets not read too much into it..the nation is in a gloomy mind..had the film released a week or two after total dhamaal maybe it might have made a difference.. also reflecting upon the promotional part..i think they did quite well but the audience, unfortunately, wasn't interested... i am hoping against hope now that the photograph also doesnt meet with the same fate as it is rather horrendosly unpromoted..bt it was always going to be tough to sell such films...even with a young superstar at the helm like an R.k or R.s it wd hv bn tough... bt 2 things are for sure ronny wd continue backing such efforts,as he should, because he has made enough from uri to atleast take 2 more mid budget disasters like these..and i think this film wd be talked more about towards the year end as i think this year would do the same for S.S.R as 2017 did for Rajkumar and 2018 did for vicky and ayushman... with 2 or 3 releases this yr and this performance to back up his credentials ..hoping that its going to be a sushant yr
Sonchiriya released this Friday 2 weeks after Gully Boy. What are you even saying???
@@nikitamohan3390 thanks for correcting me i meant total dhamaal..since gully boy exactly when on the verge of release was considered as box office friendly as it turned out to be
@@rahultiwari-dx8qo So SonChiriya released 1 week after Total Dhamaal
Last time we saw these three laughing because of movie not making fun of a movie was gully boy ☺love you ranveer singh, zoya, Anupama ..love you all ..
Alia Bhatt too :)
@@amritaoxymoron1944 and Alia too
Great conversation. But I cannot still wrap my head around the fact that you can’t pronounce a popular Indian/regional language like Telugu (tolluguu according to sucharita). It was tough for me to even spell the way she said it 🤦♂️😒
Sonchiriya is still watchable
Anupama, your reviews do matter. The recent movie I convinced my husband to watch was Gully Boy.
i think i leave the same comment on every Let's Talk Movies, but these are my favourite videos to watch! please never stop making them :D
Thanks guys for the reviews - Love
When stars come on your show they talk a lot of sense and meaningful things but why they choose the crap scripts? Ask next time #UselessBollywood
Do not talk on the whole .. Bollywood produces wonderful movies .. Watch gully boy
@@doaa8232 yeah I watched it whatever
Its so true. I guess money rules all
I agree! How can they not realise?!!
Bollywood is full of hypocrisy
Perhaps you guys are right that your opnions does not account to box office numbers, But what we see from past two week is that Scrap like Total Dhammal get success and sonchiriyan do not gets love it deserves is actually worrysome. You guys talked about early access to movies but I don't think that will help as total dhammal is scoring numbers in second week. The problem is that people favours light entertaining films with big stars, music and there is no craft and art that caters to this genre. Indian movies has to make more good movies in to this categary.
Sonchiriya is a must watch movie !
Total Dhamal is baseless comedy film...
I dnt understand how people can tolerte this typ of movie... worst movie... go nd watch sonchiriya instead of it
Why?
Just like we are tolerating your spellings ;)
@@varunsharma2097 bt u got what i want to say 😊
Ohhhh come on man! Each time u can find a sensible n serious Cinema.. Sometimes u need a crazy fun too n that is total dhamaal for.. In fact the entire team claimed that plz put ur brain aside just go n enjoy ur two hours don't even dare to find out sensibility in that it is fun light hearted family entertainment. That is it.. I too watched with my mom n she also loved it.. Infact it for every one from a grand mom to a grand child.
@@funnymanni25 i love dhamal bt can't bear total dhamal....
At 4:42...rahul says that Saathiya was a film based on Live In relationship but he is incorrect...in Saathiya, vivek’s and rani’s character are already secretly married first as shown in a song and then they move out of their homes to live together. You can say Wake Up sid was kind of Live In relationship film in which Ranbir and Konkana live in a flat as friends and then fall in love.
Salaam Namaste before Wake Up Sid, but admittedly it wasn't based in India.
Great... Desai u gave a gud review and no one watched so now ur take is u r sure that in future it will be liked . ..
Sonchiriya was a wonderful movie lots of hard work from the team gone waste release in ott platform felt sorry fr all who have given their blood and sweat look at the cinematography was it easy to film just sheer bad luck make it a cult atleast a tribute to the hard work fr the makers perfect fr the big screen viewing
@anupamachopra ma'am i feel the " INDIAN BOARD EXAMS" also affect in terms of watching the films like sonchiriya only if students would have been free we might have really crashed the cinemas
I legit wait for these! A question .. how do you analyse a movie just by seeing it once? I mean its so difficult!
Pankaj Tripathi chose the rule!! DAMN, what is wrong with Anupama. He loves playing different characters.
Exactly. And he was so good in that.
That’s what she said, he didn’t deserve to play such an unimportant character, moreover in an interview with Anupama he said that he did that role because the producer or director was his friend and requested him to do it.
Dont blame the audience....its all about filmmaker choice...our audience appreciate a certain type of films and critics and filmakers should accept it rather than being smart and saying audience are dumb... total dhamaal was genuinely enjoyable.... i am not saying sonchiriya is bad but my parents wud any day njoi watching td than sonchiriya.... lucka chuppi cant cmment as dint watch.... but grow up guys you all are much better than this... start watching movie in cinema with full house than you will understand what movies your audience like...
But Total Dhamal. Man!!! That movie is so damn stupid. Like absolutely mindless.
Thats what your problem and majority of ppl like you have that you feel what you like is gr8 and what others like is not... i am not saying gully boy is bad or sonchiriya is bad but you cant blame audience for liking total dhamaal and not liking sonchiriya... and anyways result shows who is dumb and who are not and by the way do you even have knowledge of any filmmaking to comment like ppl are dumb? First get some manners from your so called intellectual family as calling ppl dumb for liking a prticular film shows your background
Could you explain why you enjoyed total dhamaal? It would be interesting to know.
Your comment confirms why India never get oscar
@@hindustandefencenews3228 and you guys confirm why indian media and critics are not respected....not a single movie which you guys enjoy works here or abroad....and the day you guys enjoy and appreciate indian cinema india will win oscar
I am amazed at how you can praise a SonChiriya and a Made In Heaven in the same breath! One is such a raw and real portrayal, while the web series seems to be written by somebody who is completely out of touch with reality, or is high on grass!
I am watching Made in Heaven right now. It is not that unrealistic as you are saying. Did you watch Episode 3 with a 60 plus bride Gayatri who just wants her arrogant kids to attend her wedding? Her scenes are very touching and the web series clearly shows people's sick obsession with public image in society, status, sexism and how women are undermined for their achievements and many times their success is always attributed to some man whether it's their nalayaak cheating husband, father or whoever. There is another episode where the bride is a pilot and first working woman in her family and how she is treated by society, her family, etc
@@nikitamohan3390 I agree, the Dipti Naval episode has to be the only redeeming episode in the whole series, apart from that, it's mostly a whole load of virtue signaling masquerading as drama. In this specific case, I guess you failed to notice that the same "nalayaak" husband is the major investor in the protagonist's venture, and the girl cons her way into the multi-millionaire family, but nobody sees anything wrong in that. In the pilot episode, she is not treated wrongly by her family, it's she who treats the family help unfairly.
The whole plot of the first woman pilot episode seems badly contrived, desperate to show somebody who is rich in a bad light. In this day and age, when camera phones are ubiquitous and social media is all powerful, one has to be a fool to indulge in something like that and put their reputation and financial future at stake. 15 years ago, yes, it would have been believable, but today, it's pure bull.
The writers got so engrossed in making it woke and sending umpteen social signals, that they forgot that the main part of any series, is the story, which is something one has to fight hard to make sense of in this series.
@@swapnilghosh When I read the reviews, they called Tara's character deeply flawed and messy. None of the critics really think her character is a saint either and neither did I from what I watched. But compared to Dil Dhadakne Do, this show is far more realisitic and their focus was on different couples from Upper class South Delhi. The characters they show are very relatable even the gay guy who can't openly live his life on his terms cuz he is always 1 phone call away from being arrested and harassed and taunted.
And people like Tara and Karan do exist even if they are not from super rich upper class society. I felt it was more relateable than Dil Dhadakne Do.
@@swapnilghosh Also sir I saw an interview with the directors where they said that many of the love stories on this show were taken from real life experiences like that episode where some NRI sets up a beauty pageant to find a bride for himself. It might unrealistic and ridiculous as hell to you and me because of our upbringing, lifestyle, values, whatever but Reema and Zoya said that was based on an incident that happened in India recently.
I loveee this segment.
C'mon guys I liked Pankaj Tripathi's role, I know its not his usual thing but definitely funny.
Would like to see a Sonchiraiya web series..All the back stories
10:33 Rahul Desai trying to contol his diss. I understand.
Loved Sonchiriya but Bandit Queen is still the best chambal film for me
mirzapur is the best web series out i think
Could it just be because if the choice of films which we had at the theatre..a dark existential film a uplifting stupid comedy..i told my friend I watched sonchiriya over Luka chupi his response was 'why!? It's a dark film'. I think irrespective of the time we live in audience would consider watching a comedy over a drama, unless drama had some relative aspects to it like gully boy which had that underdog story which everyone dreams about.
you need better friends bro
Discuss gully boy and manikarnika
Gully boy was discussed
Who said your review doesn't effect ? Atleast for me I wait for anupama chopra review
Why is Rahul Desai so bloody harsh on Sushant Singh Rajput??? He has some personal agenda and vendetta against Sushant, it seems!! Dude he is the only outsider who challenges the likes of the most popular star kids, and here Rahul just always disses him so harshly!
Sushant is no more and he is the best actor of his generation
I can see the 3hearts aching when a film like "sonchiriya" dosnt do well. I hope still it picks up.
I personally liked the film.
And mam, please ab toh bata do kya fukati ho? Haha..
You should be the next Lo'real ambassador, YOU ARE WORTH IT.
Hahaha... 😂😂😂 Her skin is always glowing.... M so jealous...
I didn't watch Sonchiriya because I didn't even know the movie existed or was released this past weekend! I watched an iDiva video with Bhumi - figured she had a movie coming out so I googled it (big Bhumi fan) and was SO surprised that the movie was already screening at the cinemas!
I agree with Rahul at 15:59 that reading reviews does lead you to going into the movie with a perspective, given that you trust the reviewers. I did not want to watch Simmba for obvious reasons and reviews from film companions helped assert that. However the crazy number the movie was making in the BO I had to watch it to know if I’m on the unknown. So now for movies with high hopes I listen to film companion, for massy movies I read one word review of Taran ardash on Twitter for that’s all I can bare of his analysis.
As your profession is watching movies and you think too much about movies.while audience watch movies when they are free or timepass that's why dhamal and lukkachuppi works. It's so simple
I really love all your review..... but honestly I do decide to watch a movie in the theatre based on your review.....so you do influence my choice.. not sure about others 😉😉 .! Btw, the original movie of Badla, “invisible guest” is awesome.... and you must watch it ..before or after Badla ......😊😊
I agree to Sucharita. There is so much going on in the country right now that we are looking for some relief in comedy films. Even if it's not that good
Reviews matter to some of us, but not to all of us. I always read and watch movie reviews with interest. But then I know I won't like movies that aim for cheap laughs. There are thousands out there who think double meaning dialogues, making faces, 'funny' music, is what make a "good" movie. They'd watch such movies regardless of the terrible reviews.
Even if they're making a 'Total Dhamaal' they should make it ABSOLUTELY GOOD - don't make a half-hearted attempt with an abysmally poor script and cringe-worthy CGI! Give the audiences their worth for money - just filling in big names for a so-called ensemble will NOT fetch extraordinary numbers in the long run. I wonder how did Madhuri Dixit and Anil Kapoor did NOT see the evidently hideous and below-average production quality!
watching this now and it confirms my opinion that people who create pages with justiceforssr never really went for a gem like Sonchiriya.
Rahul...I like your reviews but I would like to give you a friendly advice. I think your screen presence for these reviews can sometime be a bit dull. It would be great if you could work on it. On the contrary your peers are always super charged on the videos always. All in all, love the work that you guys put forward at flim companion.
Don't think anyone is going to put a film like Total Dhamaal in front of critics or film journalists that early. In today's age, critics or film journalists are just another marketing tool in the hands of producers. I am not saying that critics are bought or anything like that, just that film producers use them as such. So if a movie like Newton which does not have a big marketing budget to send leads on tour in various cities, it is quite easy for them to have a screening for critics early so the word of mouth marketing could start before the film even releases. But films like Total Dhamaal does not have this budget problem, so they are not going to make an extra effort to release it a week earlier for critics.
Also sucharita is fab
