Bollywood should realize that having only "A list" star does not ensure a hit, this has been proven in last 2 years with many big names failing at BO miserably. With all the bamboozle of big stars, snazzy locations, "item numbers" special appearances, they forget its ultimately "THE STORY" and "THE SCREENPLAY" that leaves and impression on minds of audiences. This was proven with films like Mithya, Johnny Gaddar, Aamir, A wednesday. Although these films did not boast of any "A List" stars, they were accepted nonetheless because of their not-so-common story and screenplay. In true sense the people in these films were "actors" with performances to boast of as opposed to "stars" with no substance.

Indian audiences are realizing..(contd)
But the sad truth is people still make stupid films and stupid people still patronize such movies.. no matter however unique and different the movie concept is if its not commercially sucessful then the same director will resort back to formulic films because you cannot have commercial failures when you are investing so much. Only some revoultion can save our industry..

To all the Amitabh bashers: --------------------------- Flops and hits dont make a quality actor. Amitabh may have had string of flops at Box Office but he has done much better movies than RNBDJ, Gajini(or whatever), OSO etc etc. SRK and Aamir can't even think of acting in Movies like Black, Nishabd, Khakee,Eklavya,Last Lear, Sarkar, Sarkar Raj to name a few. Go home eat some popcorn and listen the mehhmehhh of SRK.
