Now a days there are no people in the theatres especially with the pirated print coming out very soon. Guzaarish may not have done well at the BO but it is sure to walk away with most of the awards. This year saw some of the worst movies like Dabaang, MNIK- horrible acting by SRK, action replay.
Abhishek, Aishwarya keep delivering duds but does any director/producer have enough guts to opt out for some other face?no ges big names here the BIG B's name does matter!!
10. teen patti- some lady named leena yadav made fool of both AB and ben kingsley 9. guzaarish-SLB thought he was making an opera and not a movie 8. dabangg-looks more like a nautanki than a movie 7. ishqya- only abuses/sex/violence-where was the movie 6. lamhaa-looked like a news clip from some news channel on kashmir 5. anjaana anjaani-another stupid 'romantic story' 4. udaan-i was sleeping throughout the movie 3. LSD-no L, no S, only dhokha 2. kites-a hindi-spanish-english disaster and the worst movie of the year is..... 1.ROBOT-an 80-year old robot doing all sorts of wierd things (anyway, it was unintentionally comical,so at least it was entertaining)
too many trying to use their black money to convert in to white. People making movie to money and not for the love of art. Actors charges 20Cr as if the movie is all about them. Multiplexs charges 1000s for a ticket and popcorn in a country where the avg monthly earning is not more 10k.
i guess filmmakers are forgetting the fact that india still has not completely gone the u.s. way..family audiences still exist. and if you see recent history any movie that has good content where the entire family can watch together, it is deemed to be a hit. take 3 idiots or tzp or even golmaal series, ouatim. They have been blockbusters. sadly making movies on sleaze,sex and whole idea of shocking the audience..isnt working. a hero like aamir works simple becuase audience knows for sure he wont cheat family audiences with his movies content.anyway the overbudgeting and high ticket prices also hurts movies.clean content - difference between hits and flops.

it is about good n bad film : how come family came in between?? LSD, ishqiya were good films but a family wont watch it..same goes for Vivah types films which a family audience will enjoy but then in terms of cinema those are horrible :(

havent seen glomaal 3 but i guess most people might have expected it to be like the previous rohit shetty movies and hence went for it. if rohit shetty , ajay keeps giving poor stuff.trust me family audiences will abandon their movies too.infact sm one on this forum itself mentioned his family had insisted him to take the entire family for golmaal 3 hence he went for it.if content is good, families will com out..else who will pay 1500-2000 for movies which dont even entertain the entire family..hence u see poor audeinces
What is so surprising about these films failing? It's very very simple, all these films were pretty bad both in the script area and/or choice of actors.
Action Replayy - Tries foolishly to ape 'Back to the Future' with no speck of Sci-Fi in the story or creating any period effects. To top that they have taken middle-aged non-actors like Aishwarya (who has never done anything in films till date except look good) and Akshaye Kumar.
Guzaarish - SLB is a self-indulgent director who has never created any film which can be seen more than once, even for people who would like to watch his depressing movies. He just wastes money and brings in big stars to act in his pompous dramas be it Devdas, Black, Swariya or Guzaarish. Yes the actors act well in his movies but his films are so pointless.
Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Se - Well in this case the script was good, but it needed an actor of far more acting calibre than Abhishek. He just doesn't have the intensity to play such a role. Probably Ajay Devgan or even Kay Kay would have been a great choice for this role.
As far as 'Golmaal-3' is concerned. Well this is just a fluke hit. Release the movie in Diwali time when everyone is interested in going out and having some fun, be it useless, brainless, slapstick comedy. It was a better and more so the ONLY option besides Action Replayy. Would anybody go to have a second watch at a movie where children are beating and spanking their Father's behind??????

righly reviewed... SLB is just more interested in making his films look more beautiful.. if he concentrates more on the treatment he could click with audience
Earlier, people used to read movie review and decide about watching the movie. Now, since reviews are paid, customers have lost that inertia. Personally, I think that KHJJS was better than average but some reviews praised it in an overboard way. When you smell dishonesty, you want to hate the movie makers and end up not going to see it.
half the time, everyone in bollywood is praising everyone else as if they gave achieved the pinnacle of movie making. there are a few gems here and there. the rest of them have come in with connections and dynastic inheritance of stardom. good movie makers are a rare in bollywood, most people are projected as if they are the greatest around, and we have been blessed to have been their contemporary!
have to cultivate ur taste to see regional films like tamil,telgu kerla for good movies.. unique story,technology, choregraph, cinmephtograph excel in everthing.. you will wonder howmany good movies are made in regional cinemas... watch it with subtitle and enjoy.
