Rediff you forgot to mention a few people who were also affected by the strike. The so called film trade pundits Mr. Taran Adarsh, Mr. Sen and so on... With the strike ending, out of work film trade reviewers like Traran Adarsh are heaving a sigh of relief. The Adarsh guy had got extremely desperate in the last few days...typing letters on Indiafm every day - "when will the strike end"..."bohoooo bohoooo 2 months passed, I don't have any work"....."believe it or not Ripley..."..."End the strike I will loose my job"..."help, help", "bachao, bachao.. strike end karo.. pet kaa sawal hai"...
Now that the strike is over he will get back to his old mundane job of writing sub-standard reviews of films which nobody is interested in seeing anyway.
Penny wise and pound foolish reasons, I would imagine. I'm guessing the hard working technicians weren't paid enough or the chorus girls and boys that are sometimes more handsome and dance better than the hero/heroines were paid Rs.50 per day while the fatcats still pocket crores per item dance or even bag regional distribution rights. You then deserve to lose the Rs.300 crores and hope it's even more.

Dude - this is an industry and like any other industry, the ones at the top benefit the most and this strike was entirely for their benefit.
But they also create employment and opportunity for those at bottom. In addition to supporting dependant industries - advertisement, promotion companies, media outfits etc. So when they strike, the ripple effect spreads all across and not just the producers!

If the planet "EARTH" doesn't die sooner you guys will ensure its acceleration, anyway.
