Post pandemic audience have greatly changed. Many only prefer to watch a movie in theatre only if it is worth it. We have more engaging content in OTT. I wish Bramhastra makes a way...
@@TriedRefusedProductions completely agree with u bro.. I remember commenting the same as what u have mentioned in this video in the comment section of various LSC review videos... for god's sake.. only I know how much hate I got for that...
For me casting was the main issue. Having a 58 year old play a 20 year old is just not acceptable in the realm of this film. I liked Aamir towards the end when the character aged but this film needed an actor in his 30s.
I dont think anybody can find a better match of Tom Hanks than Aamir khan. And I found no issue in his younger looks. Its his caricaturish acting thats the issue. Laal in his childhood and elderly age is just perfect. Middle portion_ Aamir Khan messed it up !!! I think if at all someone else could hv been considered in this role than Aamir Khan it should hv been Ranbir Kapoor.
We can't deny the fact that "Boycott Bollywood" had a major role to play in this failure. Ofcoz now the audience is smart n they really wants to invest in the movies worth watching. OTT rise and good content in it should pave the way to the good cinema. They sooner Bollywood accepts it, the better.
@ईश्वरः परमः कृष्णः🙏 i think at least for these 2 films Boycott calls was reason... bcoz i can agree on your Story Point of LSC but Rakshabandhan was a good family film.. even that is also a disaster..
If they need good content or quality works boycott before releasing a movie unacceptable and funny . Cant say smart . If they boycott after knowing, it is bad movie (from critics reviews or WOM) ignoring it or boycotting it is okay. thAt is what smart people do
@@AnujKumar-in6ci Raksha Bandhan was not a theatrical experience movie and due to ott releases people tend to wait as they would have same experience (rather better) watching movies at their homes . The main reason behind bollywood movies floping i can think of is high budget and costly theatre tickets . what was there of 80 cr in raksha bandhan . Karthikey 2 is a better movie with beautiful scenic location is made in just a budget 25 cr .Bollywood needs to think about it & Should reduce the budget of these feel good movies . You can calculate if the movies was made at a budget of 30 cr then it would have been already a hit .
My thoughts on why Bollywood is failing in some movies - 1. Movies are expensive. Ticket costs minimum of Rs.200 and going with friends and family costs a big amount, hence people prefer only to watch best movies in theatre. 2 .Negative Image of bollywood after SSR death and nepotism is still the ongoing issue , some people are boycotting the films for this . 3.There was an era when people went to see khan's films without even thinking but now people prefer good content over any face . Hence films with good content are seeing golden days now . 4. OTT Platforms are more popularised . They give you convenience, abundance of content , privacy and also they are on cheaper side than watching movies in theatre.. I think these are some points and they are interlinked
Also u can add " they have to stop giving gyaan to audience on every thing,always demeaning the indian society and values except some specific days on social media, selective targeting or questioning indian or hindu traditions etc".... i can't remember there r any single big hindu festival without their gyaan in the last few years.....plus their continuous hypocritical statement, endorsement, excessive publicity stunts, too much PR, KJO's brainless nepos etc....all these....people r getting pissed off by all these....
Honestly I think the death of SSR is just an excuse to boycott all the movies. People didn't watch his movies in theatres when he was alive. Byomkesh bakshi, sonchiriya were good movies but didn't do well. And those who are boycotting Amir because of PK are forgetting that SSR played a pakistani guy in the movie. They boycotted Kedarnath where he played a Muslim guy taking Hindus to the pilgrimage. It's all just an excuse to target amir because he had criticised his own country.
Ahh enough with the SSR cries, nobody watched his movies either when he was alive. You are disrespecting his death by bringing him at the forefront of your hateful agendas for A-list stars in bollywood. And no one gives a shit about Nepotism, there is reason Koffee with Karan has done 7 seasons bcz we watch it. You can cry all you want but people enjoy watching celebrities and its not like nepotism is a brand new thing, it was there before its gonna be there after. Point is they aren't making compelling movies. In a world of globalisation where you watch Dinosaurs and Superheroes and complex war thrillers, no one wants to watch cheesy hindi movies we've already seen a thousand times. Actors aren't putting in efforts, nor are the production houses picking good stories.
@@SuperVij007 I believe, meeting the First Lady of Turkey while refusing to meet the Prime Minister of Israel is NOT just criticising your country. It's called, acting against it's geopolitical interests.
The "Boycott Bollywood" surely had role to play, but the trailer was extremely underwhelming and for the people who already saw Forest Gump surely understood that Lal Singh Chadha would not stand on the same pedestal as the original
@@santoshpatnaik1988 I think that's not true. In saying this we are undermining the Indian audiences. In recent times, we as audience have learnt to appreciate good content.
@@santoshpatnaik1988 Forrest gump was on trend after laal Singh chaddha trailer I live in village I know Little bit of English In my friend circle I was the only one who had watched forrest gump And i didn't recommended it to them because i thought they will not understand. After the LSC trailer I have seen them searching for forrest gump Hindi dubbed Do you think after watching forrest gump they will go to theatre to watch LSC ? Iske baad ke sare remake flop hone vale he New movie ati he tabhi vo konse movie ka remake he vale videos youtube par ate he search karne ki jarurat bhi nahi padti
I think the movie was ok, and would have been hit if it was released before pandemic era. But yes Aamir's acting is questionable in the movie. He played a mix of PK and Samar and ended up overdoing it in LSC. A better and senior director would have not allowed this to happen.
Only in one interview she said to all those spreading hate, to not watch the movie. This was not bad thing to be said. How would you react to people who without any logical reason tries to target you every time?
I know that the taste of the audience has changed, especially after the pandemic. Still, I can't fathom how a shitty and mindless film like Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 earns 200+ crores while a masterpiece like Jhund has no takers. The audience's taste hasn't evolved, it's still shit. It's just that they have become more selective and extremely intolerant.
It's not right to say. People are watching good content cinema in theatres. Films like sita ramam, jug jug, thallumalla, karthikeya, Vikram, are working. These are good movies. And I still think if ' Darlings' released in theatre it would have been a hit. And we have to be honest Hindi movies are really mediocre and People are not appreciating mediocrity anymore.
Jhund isn't a masterpiece by any stretch. Yes it's good, but it also has it's flaws. It's poorly edited and can be shortened by at least half an hour. Also, Bhool Bhulaiya 2 is a pretty good movie with a mix of comedy and horror. Neither is really good, but it does manage to provide a good, timepass movie experience. Also, Kartik Aaryan and Kiara Advani have the ability to bring audiences to theatres, but sadly Amitabh Bachchan alone cannot garner audiences anymore. It's sad, but people nowaday would rather watch Kartik and Kiara than Amitabh Bachchan in theatres
I understand your frustration with boycott gang but then how can you force people to spend their own money into something they are not interested. This reminds me of those credit card calls 😃
@Anoushka S If you thinks 'movies' dont hold much importance or arent 'big deal' than you need to read some books on anthropolgy and how human civilization evolved... "The art of storytelling is one the greatest powers of humanity." So boycotting movies is a 'big deal'...and anything which is a 'big deal' is no foollish action. Besides ryt now ppl call 'troll' any person on internet whose words they dnt like.
@Anoushka S says an average bullywood fan consuming fart shit produced in the name of cinema by intoxicated sickular nepo kids. Better go and watch rubbish kumar on rndtv. he acts better there.
@Anoushka S 'Boycotting' by its definition can never be a manistream business...it's just ppl not buying particular product en masse. The boycott was against Aamir(&to little extent against Kareena)..not LSC(not that it needed boycott calls to get flop anyways..). If ppl got pissed off by what they watched in PK...it's their choice whether to continue watching a particular actor/director/producer movie or not..plane&simple.
@Anoushka S Sry but I dislike bollywood for years(mainly cos of their uncalled for lectures).....even when internet wasnt common thing....I mostly watched hollywood&anime.....so no my decisions arent based on 'some evil brainwashing sinister algo'....it's on my own interpretation. Also I did say LSC would've flopped without boycottCampaign anyways. Peace out.
@@TriedRefusedProductions truth be said Bollywood already has its Forrest Gump it is called bajrangi bhaijaan . It is like the same character where a lovable goof triumph against all odds. The moments and the connection the US audience felt with Forrest Gump is the same Bollywood audience felt with bajrangi b. That moment was already taken. Lsc is actually a bigger blunder for Aamir Khan than you think
@@Avi09876 No doubt LSC has its issues. It's not on par with original Forest Gump but it's also not a complete disaster movie as these boycott bots are saying. I'm 100 percent sure that it Forest Gump was a recent Hollywood movie, Indian audience reaction to that movie will be same like "What a boring movie is this, there's no story in it, what were they even trying to tell?"
@@Avi09876 I totally agree with your opinion on it. One thing which I hate about these boycott people is how they're spreading false facts about the movie. Like they're saying Amir again insulted Hindus in the movie by saying "Pooja Path karne se Maleria failta hai, Dange hote hain" like seriously? They totally changed the dialogue and narrative of that scene to support their hate agenda. If you wanna boycott a movie, then simply don't watch it but don't spread wrong facts about it.
*I'm not the theatre buff I used to be, I'm only gonna watch a *GOOD* *film in theatres if it's worth it: RRR, Vikram, KGF... but Ante Sundaraniki, Major, Hridayam ALL films I absolutely LOVED... I'm gonna watch at home, on my laptop in my bed lol.. instead of spending extra money for no reason*
In those days people would ignore the small stones they found in their rice. Then they started complaining about it. When the complaint fell on deaf ears people started buying from a different brand of rice.
Even if LSC was a perfect remake it wouldn't have worked on BO. Let me break this into different demograpics- Type 1( The Niche audience) At maximum there are about some 1M+ people who want to watch content oriented movies, even if the movies are slow, they can appreciate technical aspects ( which amount to 8-10cr lifetime biz). This type of audience like movies like Anurag Kashyap's upcoming Dobaaraa who are more prominent on social media only. Type 2(The middle ground audience)- Audience that can will only watch content driven movies if they are entertaining be it in comedy or have some emotionally manipulative. This type of audience like movies like BB2, JJJ. etc Type 3( The escapist/Mass audience )- This type make up the largest portion, if the movie is liked by this type then only your movie will be a blockbuster in BO. they like movies like KGF2, Dhoom3 etc. LSC was too slow and not emotionally manuiplative for audience like Type 2 and it didin't have anything for audience like type 3 so it wouldn't work even in BO even if it was a perfect remake 🤞
Completely agree with your points. This is the main reason for LSC failure from day 2 onwards. But the reason for less footfall on day 1 is i guess , 1. Preview of bad acting of Aamir in trailer 2. Preview of slow genre in trailer and 3.little bit of boycott trend
Why Type-1 audience should watch this film, instead of original Forest Gump? Because they don't understand English? Don't have access to original content? To just cross-check adaptation skills of this cast and crew? So for which type of audience this movie was made? Your classification is spot on, just that makers never thought about it in 14 years and while spending 180 cr!
Even for type 1 LSC is stretching at normal tropes and with its wayward screenplay and sidestepping many societal issues which it could have really tackled .. it doesn’t hit any levels of curiosity as the TYpe 1 you mentioned must have already watched Forrest Gump and it’s ingenuity in talking about societal issues.
Yes even for type 1 audience it wasn't good, but we need more type 1 audience going to theatres also, we see a lot of praise online for some great movies like TUMBBAD but we don't see the box office collection, At max type 1 contributes about 8-10cr for the LT biz, we need more type 1 audience to encourage filmmakers to make more movies. It's really sad that Rahi anil, Konkana sen and Anand gandhi - the directors who made a terrific debut with great films haven't made their second films till date.
Sir forget about the types the movie wud have definitely worked if their were no expectations and second it needed a director like hirani who cud have tamed the movie fr the Hindi audiences sometimes the actor or maker tend to go overboard if nt kept in control Feel really sorry fr team members and makers of LSC whose hard work have gone with te wind 😭😭😭
I watched the film yesterday in theatre, despite the boycott campaign going around. As a Aamir fan from last 20 years, i know it's worth to watch him on big screen, but my expectations was not full filled. The film feels like 2000's delayed release. I have watched Forest Gump for several times and I knew how the story folds but i went to watch it as our indian take on it. To be honest, It is not worth the time or money for this film. It feels old and slow. The events in history incorporated well but the whole idea of a film is not fresh.
I liked the last hour of the movie. You are spot on when you say that it feels like a 2000's film. They should have made it around 2010 after 3 idiots.
It's not the boycott as much as it is opening our eyes to new ventures. I saw RRR and KGF because the set up was so big and it showed in the trailer too. Watching movies and dramas during lock down from Korea, south India, Thailand and other countries really put things in perspective. Even the OTT platforms have noticed this and have started to add more options from other parts of the industry. On a normal day, I would rather watch a Korean OTT drama than spend 700+ on a movie I am not even sure about. Plus with price increase, you don't go to the movies alone and you don't just watch the movie, it's either accompanied by lunch or dinner. Because honestly out of the movies that were boycotted which one was amazing and was unfairly looked over. I saw Rocketry over the weekend and balled my eyes out because it was so engaging meanwhile you yourself commented that you couldn't feel the right emotions in Rakhsha bandhan. Bollywood needs to up their game, in not just scale but in script writing. Also, the industry handled the whole boycott thing incorrectly and it is continuing to do so. They took the love and honor that the fans gave them for granted. Sure you can't please everyone and there are some unreasonable people but you have to agree that some of the statements that these stars have given have come back to bite them. Be it Karan joking about nepotism or Kareena saying don't come, don't watch, even now Arjun Kapoor calling the industry to stand against trolls - they are the ones alienating the audience. These artist need to open their eyes and read the room, the audience has changed and they are still stuck in star stuck India.
Post-Corona, the mental state has majorly affected and they approach the movies which makes them escape from worries RRR, KGF 2, Bhool Bhulaiya 2 are great examples
Even bollywood films that have flopped have the escapist theme. I dont think audience wants to watch typical entertainers for namesake, even the huge spectacle films has to be rooted, have a plot that convinces you to believe however far fetched scenes are. Prabhas mentioned that point in interviews but all I hear from bollywood actors is leave your brains at home and all those fake reasons to watch movies. On top of that trailers are really bad with actors like akshay, Ranbir kapoor and others not even convincing audience to invest in their characters. The real success in bollywood is the kashmir files and bhool bhulaiya 2 where 2 totally different films managed to have audiences attention.
agree... escapism is the first priority of audience (atleast general audience) now... if you can't give us a two and a half hour of escape in a fictional world then you have failed
@@abhishekchandra4484 Kashmir files was different and you must understand that. it ways controversial topic which polarized audience and as a result the majority watched it.
@@gunjantripathi9271 It might be a controversial topic for some, but it is a content driven film with very good technical aspects. And the audience blessed it. Even Shikhara was based a "controversial" topic, yet it tanked badly. Or Shikhara didn't try to focus on the "controversial" topic enough while basing the movie on the topic?
The more I watch about Brahmastra, the more I feel it’s gonna tank. The cgi looks over the top and not relatable. I can’t connect to Ranbir being a super hero, the vibe just isn’t there. About what went wrong with LSC, I think they truly messed up with the adaption. Worst was the treatment of lieutenant Dan’s character, why the f do you want to show India-Pakistan bhaichara everywhere, they missed the pulse there. The take on religion again was unnecessary, they could have talked about other positive events. Kya sirf dange hi huye hai India mai? It would be good if people stop preaching every time.
Agree!! Also I can't put my finger to it but there was someonething wrong with Brahmastra's trailer. I hope am wrong as it's about indian mythology,something i would love to see.
I'm not a movie expert but in no way this movie seemed like a 180cr budget affair. This seems more odd when you see movies like Karthikeya 2 made just at a meagre 15cr. In conclusion Bollywood is just investing a high input cost irrationally making their chances of a hit venture even far fetched.
@@2010akkii They should only charge share in profit currently. Specially when the production house is of these stars itself eg. Amir Khan, Red chillies etc.
Dangal had released in 2016 after Aamir Khan had made those comments in an interview in that year itself but because the end product of the movie was so good, it went on to break so many box office records. A question comes to my mind as to if Aamir himself was not sure that the end product of LSC was not upto the mark. It was strange for him to request people to watch the movie otherwise the acting ability and storyline of his movies are unmatchable.
@@satyamanu2211 With all the boycott and amir khan replacing American army friend character with pakistan terrorists killed the movie to be honest... Narrative should not be shoved under audience throats, look at bajarangi bhaijaan and the recent Sita ram(dulquer Salman movie).. India/pak and hindu/Muslim can be pictured/filmed beautifully without hurting anyone...
I am a huge movie buff and love watching movies. Things have actually changed post Lockdown for me. Its not actually the boycott gang that people are not going to theaters. i would put forth my point of view. During lockdown i happen to bingewatch lot of south indian movies and Korean dramas. My entire taste of movies changed and my expectations and taste changed. I no longer wanted to watch movies with reputed production houses or bigger starcast but i prefer a good product overall with a good story line and great concept. below are the 2 movies i happen to watch in cinemas post lockdown The Kashmir Files- i went to theater to watch this because of the word of mouth appreciation from close friends and curiosity for the reality showcased in it. RRR- just wanted to experience this for the visual treatment given by SS Rajamouli which was meant for big screen Apart from this i wanted to watch KGF but since i was busy travelling i could not accommodate time for same.
Boycott actually affected the business whether except it or not.as previously it was short group. Now there are Nepotism boycott - these people more active after SSR death actually the dumbest group. Like even ssr was in Pk Religious boycott as even urban audience now is fed up with propaganda, I felt while this watching shamshera too . ( it's actually most effective boycott group ) Political boycott - not much effective.
@@anubhavsays maybe boycott has an effect on it. But there is nothing wrong with it. It's their own personal choice, if I don't want to spend my money on a particular film with a particular actor, no one can force me to watch it. And also, it's not a crime to not go watch a movie in theatre. Plus, if the movie was any good ,it wouldn't have tanked as simple as that.
It was a pleasant enough movie too watch I think the Muhammad arc was really interesting, him letting go of his hate and realizing how misdirected he was but I do agree that him being a Pakistani militant then suddenly becoming a millionaire in India without anyone trying to find out his true identity is a huge plot hole
@@Aryan_Sharma_07 well I wouldn't call it a pander to Pakistani audience. Because the character directly criticized hate-mongering, religious bs, and terrorism in Pak.
Following the rise of OTT post pandemic, it's all come down to word of mouth. It's not the objective quality of the film/story. Or professional/traditional journalist reviews. It's simply what first day viewers are saying about a film that matters. (+To an extent, how well it's appealing to current political sentiments /detached from it completely) LSC could have pushed through the backlash only if it was an Extraordinary good movie. Being average or even above average doesn't cut it when there is a loud set of people ready to amplify every single negative aspect of the film and make people on social media or otherwise believe an above average film is infact bad and not worth the trip to the theatre. At the same time any film that was expected to be terrible but was even fairly good, nothing special + mostly detached rom any political topics(looking at Bhool bhulaiya) will do much better as the WOM on that is going to good. Films like rrr, pushpa, kgf2 and Gangubai (to an extent) are where the hype was high and the films delivered to the expectations and reaped the benefits of the hype and support. I genuinely hope all the delays with Brahmastra are worth it. Everything related to the promotion of the film is pretty exciting, it's rooted in Ancient indian mythology and both the actors and the director are pretty well liked even in the anti-nepotism atmosphere.(Alia is a favourite social media punching bag but the general public reception for her projects is always positive and no one can ever deny her talent. Every one is excited to see the pair an screen. Ranbir has a general vote of confidence for his talent. Ayaan's previous films have all been well received. People like his treatment of characters) The hype is there. Hoping they've not dropped the ball too terribly anywhere and this film can have a good run at the box office. Vikram veda and pathan are going to have to be not just good but amazing to get over the hate waves that are inevitably waiting for them but I have my fingers crossed for them as well.
@@akscs373 never. You people live in pappu land. SRK is receiving the biggest hate and is jobless since half a decade. The name Pathan sounds racist and Islamist and a cover for justifying Jihad. That's what people think Vikram Vedna will be a flop because Hritik supported LSC and people are angry. Plus it's a cheap copy of the south Indian movie. People can easily watch the original with subtitles instead of wasting money . I am the voice of the nation. U fringe librandu are detached from India.
I think the post-pandemic things have changed a lot for audiences, they are okay not watching every movie in theaters, they can wait, they can wait for the movies to come on OTT, I am someone who use to go to movies every week on week, but now I am okay, it isn't the only source of entertainment anymore, OTT is giving amazing content, and the audience would like to go theater only if it's worth it, such as marvel movies because they are cinematic experience or KGF which had the mass appeal! Boycut does hurt to an extent but that's not the only reason!
Man seeing all these Bollywood failures really makes me nervous for Brahmastra and I have high hopes for the film. And I hope it doesn't fails at the box office and gives us a really good Trilogy.
300cr that too for a bollywood movie also Deepika's cameo.(boycott intesifies)Nah. I don't think it's going to make more than 300cr. Here in south it has no buzz. Let's hope for the best. I am going to watch this movie for Alia tho
I was really excited to watch brahmastra but with each new soundtrack my excitement for the movie dies down. The love songs just don't vibe with the tone of the movie. Il give it a pass most probably.
The trailer of LSC gave a glimpse of what was in the store. So it was expected. The #hate campaign for Aamir is too much. He deserves respect for his past gems like #dangal, #tarezameenpar. But, bollywood really needs this shake up to respect the sensibilities of people and start giving their writers, technicians their due. Down south, we know the choreographers name, lyricist is appreciated if the quality of dance and song is good. A good producer is called out in the film events. Fans are treated with respect. I don't see that in the Hindi movies at all now.. Remember Salim javed, kader khan and lyricists like prasoon joshi. Who do you have now? No one knows the #technicians names of Hindi movies. Bollywood should address the root problems. When you see interviews of the actors like #Arjun kapoor who is hell bent on talking about trolls rather than accepting the bitter truth that a well made movie is what public wants, the war is already lost. Imagine someone like him being in the brain storming sessions of how to revive the hindi movie industry! I stop my rant here and seriously hope for its revival.
Agree with u. It's really painful to see great actors like aamir hasnt been treated with due respect. When we suggest hindi films to our some other languages friends definitely 6 out of 10 vl be aamirs. But this phase happens in every great actors carrier. Hope he vl bounce back to his place soon.
Dont worry guys great work are not forgotten this easily. His movies are most watch globally than any other Bollywood stars. He is still the guy who made masterpieces lagaan, tare zameen par, 3 idiots, dangal. He his still the guy who made one of the best romantic movie dil chata hai that second half with preity just nailed it. he also did the greatest comedy movie in Bollywood ever andaz apna Apna. He will always be respected. All this disrespect is because he is respected.
@@iftyhuq4321 u missed his rang de basanti, rangeela. Im not his ordent fan bt I like d way how he really appreciate n cast talented actors rather than their looks n their popularity like sakshi in dangal , siddarth in rang de basanti etc.
Now this is what I call a perfect constructive criticism, the way it should. With the controversy surrounding the film, I restrained myself from even discussing the film but you've pointed out all the problems I had with the film perfectly. Having said that, even though Forrest Gump is a very human film, it is also an American film and I always had the feeling that an adaptation of it would never work here in a country which is both culturally and philosophically diverse as ours.
@TRP - The reason why Muhammad (manav) goes undetected (this is according to me) is that in the film the war sequence starts with army being led by a bunch of local shepherds so it’s possible that he could have been mistakenly considered as one of the shepherds
Okay … cool , what about later though when he became a businessman , No PAN card , no identity proof , No IT returns ? Film hai bolke the guys are openly admitting that the guy stayed in India on fake documents, see it is ofcourse a reality for lot of illegal migrants , but they are mostly just part of a crowd - invisible in the larger scheme of things unlike Muhammad’s character
2 saal pehle tak bola jata Tha ( Filmo ka maza to theatre me hi ata he ) par lockdown ne logo ka mindset change kar diya .. abb logo ne apna jonar set kar liya he badi masala filme theatre me baki filme tv or Ott par.
I’ll be honest I was one of the hater initially but after it was on Netflix and I started watching it over 1 hour I was immediately obsessed with it and it changed my perspective of it now I love this movie
Why do Bollywood have to go out of the way to please Pakistani Audience that they have to alter the story completely. The Pakistani ‘Militant’ Part was completely Unnecessary- Lieutenant Dan had a great character arc in which he wanted to die for the country because he thought that was his life’s motive after that goes into depressive state then blaming hump going through stages of Grief and then overcoming it all. Aamir Freaking ruined this just to please Pakistani Audiences/Other country markets and get movie ticket sales from there.
Hello. I live in Tanzania and have been watching your channel for sometime. I am a die hard fan of forrest gump.. its the first Hollywood movie that actually made me shed a tear. I watched your review and it got me thinking as the points u raised and watching the trailer.. it was so obvious that the tone seemed bit too much than the original. Still I watched the movie and to my surprise.. the kids track totally took me in. And I do agree with you that the older Lal .. is more connected to the kid than the younger adult Lal. BUT.. Being a fan of the original.. I still got invested in the story and the acting. The problem the audience doesn't go to enjoy the movie rather to have critic points. I only wanted to see if those moments which made me shed a tear while watching the original happen to me in its adaptation. And Yes that happened!... and it happened after going into the movie reading and watching so many bad and negative reviews. It remains a story that touches your heart and its adaptation is beautiful too. The reason of its failure in India is the agenda that was there from the beginning against it... thats my thinking as been seeing that a lot. And u can say that the audience that went to theatres 10 yrs ago.. arent going there anymore and they have resorted to OTT. I agree ..aamir didn't showcase anything new in his acting from his past performances but haven't people liked shahrukh Khan in his early days when he was acting in the same tonality in all his movies. Times have changed! That's all. LSC is very late to come in... This feel content is available on OTT too with Panchayat and Gullak kind of series.... thats all
Prefect!!!! We shouldn't see movies tooo critically.. These are the negligible points. Anyway times have changed. Masses don't watch non entertaining movies and thus box office numbers don't rise.
Usually even bad movies with a superstar would have a good run for a few days before falling off the charts. That LSC failed from day one means that the boycott was effective.
@Rajat Tyagi awe , the main reason is these actors take us for granted do now we are taking them as granted so whatever your theory is suits your narrative well .
@Rajat Tyagi When they will start making good sensible movies again give what majority wants. Or atleast match the level of ott. Bollywood got nothing original now.
@Rajat Tyagi When they will start making good sensible movies again give what majority wants. Or atleast match the level of ott. Bollywood got nothing original now.
I have seen in an interview where Tom Hanks mentioned that they came up with the particular southern accent of Forrest Gump from the child artist. He spoke that way and Tom Hanks decide to adopt it instead of the other way around. Here we can clearly see that LSC as adult and child is totally different person
The fact that it's getting harder and harder to make audience to walk into theaters and seeing the big players like aamir failing to do it, I wonder what small movie makers gonna do it ( small in terms of popularity scale budget ) most audience prefer to watch it in ott and they gonna miss some gems which are made for theater Idk what to say I admire aamirs dedication
Wrong. Kashmir Files was a massive hit. RRR, Pushpa was a massive hit as well. I am sure people in North belt are not very familiar with Ram Charan and NTR. People still showered their love for those movies. I think it's only Bollywood that is being targeted.
@@ankitapattanaik6059 don't know why rrr was a massive hit, didn't appeal to me, those hyper illogical action sequences, and overly dramatic scenes, not really my thing, find bollywood still much sensitive in terms of rhetoric presentation or whatever it is
The description of this videos says that this was one of the most anticipated movies from bollywood this year. The fact that a remake of a Hollywood classic is anticipated so highly speaks a lot about the quality of bollywood films these days. I love Amir Khan. He is a brilliant actor who over the last several years have consistently given us quality content, more importantly original content. The ONLY reason why I did not watch 'Laal Singh Chaddha' is because it was a remake. That too a remake of a film that is close to my heart. I don't want an actor of Amir's stature and caliber spending his time making remakes. I'd much rather support him when he comes out with something original.
Rather than Kargil, if they had substituted the Vietnam War with India's disastrous IPKF operation in Sri Lanka in the late 80s, it would've made much more sense. Of course, in the real world, Laal's psychological condition wouldn't have qualified him for the Army to begin with. I also think the premise of FG doesn't quite align with India's historical and cultural experiences. From the bits I've seen on social media, the movie seems like a rather pedestrian adaption of FG. Needless to say, it's shocking that Aamir totally missed out on Tom Hanks's subtle performance as a man on the spectrum. Classic case of narcissism and patronizing attitude towards the audience.
One thing is that Hanks had the freedom to relive the character. Aamir on the hand was too involved in every department of the film. So, performing under such pressure sure is unnerving. For once the perfectionist could not be perfect
In short he should've spend money and time creating original stories and respect craft and its process. Hear lots of actors just treating craft as a joke and they're not even proficient. Just some melodramatic or theatrical performance with dialogue baazi doesn't make for great acting. On top of that theres no innovative story that audience is interested to invest time and money going to theater.
@@Donnierajproductions Well, he could have used his platform to promote another actor or you know, delegated other roles. So we come back to the original point of classic Narcissism
you know what is the irony..? before LSC was announced i watched Green mile and Forrest gump and thought if anyone in india can pull off such characters that would be Aamir ! My friends and i discussed the same and was so excited when aamir was doing FG ! but damn never in my dreams i thought the movie was going to be sub par ESPECIALLY aamir's performance !!
@@TheGowshikan coming back to his performance, it is still good.. If you think a while the faces of our actors.. Very few can play that Or physically appealing in all the scenes. Aamir fits to the T.. But, how TH played it that has etched in our memories... Aamir's character had no synchrony to the young and the old. To be precise the facial expressions shouldn't have been as he portrayed from college onwards... But, the posture he mintained in the races, while running at college from the bullies is too good. Both Kareena and he looking damn good. At the end my wife innocently giggled and cried after a long time watching a bollywood film! BTW, she disliked RRR before this!
If Brahmāstra concentrates more on love story rather than the actual Āstras than it will be their Achilles Heel like Muhammad was for Laal Singh Chaddha.
I hope love story is just a subplot and does not take up 3/4th of the film; although if the love story has significance for the story (if Alia turns out to be Parvati for Ranbeer's Shiva or something like that), otherwise it will tank
@@mysticbarbarian1567 I am having a really bad feeling they'll concentrate more on Love story aspect of the film. Although I really want this movie to succeed.
It failed because 1. Now people don't forget 2. Now people don't forgive 3. Now people don't demand but rather WANT ...AND THEY WANT QUALITY 4.You may follow any ideology but if you put your national identity into question because you don't get what you wanted then it doesn't mean that others are wrong ...aamir learnt his lesson this time and so the Bollywood...if you think public is C then you are the real C
All those saying films are failing in thetres coz of OTT platforms.. Well Gehraiyan was a huge flop show despite being released on OTT.. coz Bollywood is now largely synonymous to CRINGE
This is the post pandemic era plus OTT era… I personally would not be interested in going out to watch any movie, unless it is some big Marvel movie or something like that..life is too busy to take out time to go out and watch when you can just watch better stuff according to your own free time.
Problems with Bollywood 1.Thinking audience will watch movie for the actors (HERO) 2.People Dont mind remakes 3. People Care about Holiday Releases 4.Song are irrelevant 5.People dont have any relevant content to watch 6.People care about superstars and their extra previlaged kids 7.Boycott calls dont impact BO Numbers
Personally I went to watch the movie in Theaters yesterday and while I understand your criticism, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thorough the movie was quite long, I really enjoyed how sweet and wholesome the movie was and how many small messages were captured within the story. It was also quite admirable and respectful on how they focused on Sikh Events such as The Golden Temple Attack, Sikh Gen*cide in New Delhi, Aamir Khan watching another Sardar putting on his Paagri and then applying his own on the end. In this day and age even Punjabi movies focus more on comedy then Sikhism it’s self in a respectful way. I also loved the characters, now while Bala was a bit over the top, I do think that the comedy in the first half allowed the audience to settle in for the deeper aspects later.
Spot on propoganda 😡 they showed indian army saves pakistani army and let him live in india do business who was shooting at indian army in Kargil 🙂 Abdul real I'd se aa m.c grandu 😡
small messages like -'Do not do pooja. It causes Malaria' is the reason first show had less than 20 percent occupancy. Perhaps, it lived up to PK in notoriety in messaging.
@@indieboy1033 If you want to pray, go ahead no one is stopping you. However, Laal pointed out God is In everyone. When one becomes too extreme with religion, they end up attacking and killing other people over religion and look at the events around you. How many killings have happened because of Religion? It’s extremists who ruin it and manipulate religion for others.
@@indieboy1033 first of all he never said 'do not do pooja'. He said 'mazhab se malaria failta hai'. People like to manipulate words to further their own agendas. And tbh the line works in the movie's context. Stop cherrypicking. And anyway that part is attributed to dialogue writing which aamir is not at the helm of.
don't you think it's a bit unfair to say the movie is bad because the situations shown in the movie will not be possible in real life? can't we argue that a fictional story that was adapted from another culture and place, tweaked to better fit our narrative is allowed some creative freedom to keep the soul of the story alive? isn't it high time that we Indians learn to separate the actors from the character they play and the situations in movies from real life? it's one thing to change the facts in a autobiographical movie and another in a movie about fictional characters.
Hello. It's about time that Bollywood movies learn to respect the public sentiment before going on a preaching streak. Otherwise, they will keep getting big 0s in box office. Why should 'Indians' put up with wokeness? Wokeness is rejected everywhere in the world. Even in Hollywood, 'creative liberty' showcasing unnatural and forced feminism, inclusivity tanked. It is YOU who should understand that every audience in this world doesn't like woke films. You should learn Indian audience are like that too.
@@rahul3134 some wokness is better for Indians. otherwise, we will be stuck watching movies where the hero rapes the heroine and the court orders him to marry her and eventually they fall in love. also, what is woke in saying that we should try to separate the characters from the actors? I wasn't even commenting on the plot or weakness of the movie. just like there are people who like movies with a message there will be people who don't like them. also there are a lot of woke movies that did remarkably well too so if well-done people will watch them. also who elected you to speak on behalf of the indian audience?
@@aniket8350 I didn't like amir khan's acting in this. but I don't have a problem with plot where his character is in the army even though in real life that won't be possible. i just tell myself that it's a fictional world where this is possible for the sake of the story
Food for thought… Salman Khan’s Tubelight SRK’s Zero and now…Amir Khan’s LSC… I think the audience and the fans only want to see them playing larger than life characters and not a tone down version or physically or mentally challenged characters.
I feel even if LSC was a perfect remake , it would still not have been loved as much as the original because of the cinema we r used to seeing. Its not something which is outright comedic or a solid message giving movie . It is a subtle movie which doesn’t try to prove anything, just demands to be felt. Forrest gump even though is a classic but it is not a movie which people would like if released in present day. Maybe people have moved on to a different kind of cinema , which may not be better . Slice of life classics have become a genre which if released now doesn’t have the same impact be it hollywood or bollywood. The genre i fell is slowing dying. We r way past the eras of shawshank and the godfather’s. Sad but harsh reality. 💔
We are yet to reach the level of Swashank Redemption and Godfather, long way to go. We have, however, very good movies in other genres though, especially from the South.
Harsh reality is a 30 years experienced Amir acted very badly despite of having a full movie as reference..the makers cant change the settings properly as per indian context..and the shameless love for Pakistani..Sita Ramam is a 2022 romantic film with social messaging and its a hit film. Its not that only action movies worked
You can't say boycott Bollywood did this coz it's dependent A LOT on the product. There was hate for both sadak 2 and gangubai for the nepotism and boycott stuff but look at people reception. The product matters a lot than some may think.
Just go through some kartikeya 2 public review some reporters asked public why they choose watching kartikeya 2 over LSC ? They clearly said they don't want to watch bollywood because of amir & kareena statements. It clearly shows public boycotted the film though film was also not good I agree 💯
Keeping aside the BoycottAmir for a sec looking at the movie on it's own merit, it is a let down especially to audiences who have already seen Forest Gump like me. At times movies pace was so slow it felt like a documentary. It also amazes me how come the movie's budget increased so much when there is not much CGI or action sequences of any kind in the film.

People rejecting this film without having even seen it are seriously missing out. It is by no means a masterpiece but nonetheless a great memorable watch and that’s mainly down to the music.
Why does the nepotism argument and calls for boycott come into play when it’s Hindi films only? All the lead actors in all the south movies that were such hits ARE blatant products of ‘nepotism’ - and yet NO ONE there talks about boycotting them. Why? Because of their religion? Crazy times indeed.
Lol no cuz they've good content. All the films that are being boycotted or trolled weren't good films in any shape. Runway 34 was flop but it was great. Kartikeya 2 is getting recognition cuz it's better than LSC & RB
Because South movies aren't Hinduphobic like Bollywood. South is not in love with Pakistan. & Bollywood gang which harass outsiders became a reason for hatred after Sushant 's dearg
What a joke, anyone with common sense and good taste can see why they are not hated as the nepo kids in Bollywood, it's because they deliver good films and performances, if a nepo kid does not perform good the people don't go watch their movies, an example is Fahad fasil's first movie, the performances and movies that Fahad, Dulquer, pruthviraj, has given to the industry is a testament to why they are so loved.
Seeing the Bollywood trend I believe either Brahmastra will be a big hit blowing everything out of the water, or it will fail so miserably that no one in the coming few years in Bollywood would dare take on such a project.
Honestly it doesn't matter if Bollywood takes or discard brahmastra types of projects because the way south industry has shown its capabilities in future they can create a bigger and better projects
I've been watching the same light show in balveer show on sony since childhood ,,except the names like brahmastra n Astras,there is nothing seems inspired by indian culture or kathas,,
I really think the Boycott campaign has done the harm! As an audience, only two things didn't work for me, Aamir's acting and stretched climax. But even then, I felt the overall movie was decent. And same movie would have earned a lot pre pandemic when there were no boycott campaigns. P.S - No comparison with the original though !
As you said acting and storytelling didn't work for the film as a whole. No boycott or whatever can affect this movie when the filmmakers and actors have done damage to their own film.
I literally watched forest gump last year. It’s available on Amazon prime. And was recommended by my friend. Why would people who get to watch original so easily, will watch LSC, when I have Marathi movies lined up, and they are pretty original.
Reason for failure - 10% - Amir Khan bad acting 15% - bad direction 25% - it is a remake of a Hollywood classic 25% - Boycott Bollywood campaign 25% - Amirs anti indian, anti hindu remarks + insult to hindu gods in PK.
I don't think it failed 'badly'. The movie was good, obviously Forrest Gump is way better, it's a classic, but LSC was also good in it's own way. Aamir acted a little over the top in the beginning, then by the 30th min mark he was fine (with a few moments here and there)
@@ishabargale3216so is rocketry, Karthikeya 2, etc not even collecting 50 crs Lsc budget is just dumb thing, it looks like 20 cr movie ..comparing rocketry People just have partiality towards south cringe like kgf pushpa And hatred or target towards......
I mean it did already make up the money that it needed to, so yea it wasn't that bad. But this cancel culture will set our films (as it has our economy and politics) back a few years.
@@gopalarora9997 Ehhh...no... That 'setting back our economy' is hilarious claim....ppl 'are spending money' on movies....RRR,KGF2,Kashmir Files etc are all 'indian movies' so the money is still circulating in Indian econmy ...it just isnt going to Bollywood... Thats affecting bollywood economy...not Indian economy. Also Bollywood actors were ones who started this boycott campaign, they have all practically boycotted Vivek Agnihotri cos he didn't towed their lines
i think the movie was great... Just watched it from netflix... Sales may have failed in Theaters.. but me watching this coming from PH.. it really moved me and was in tears.. i also loved how this was adapted in India history.. he really has captured and showcased India and the rich culture beautifully here... Hope I can visit India soon. ♥️♥️♥️
What I feel now is how will the movie industry work?? The reason Bollywood movies worked is due to extravaganza... Which requires money. Now I don't see blockbusters coming that frequently... There was a time when every movie made 100 cr in the budget of 60 cr. Now it's reverse. Every movie is made close to 100cr and barely make 60. I think people have lost faith in Bollywood. The last Bollywood movie i watched before LSC was Kabir Singh, that too cause i liked the original. Since then i have not seen any. I am not hyped for it.... And i think that is missing. The hype. I don't think there is any movie creating Hype. bramhastra will also flop and so will Vikram Veda... There is no hype. The best Hype i have seen in past year was all south movies, pushpa, kgf2 and rrr. I think the reason is simple, film maker don't know how to capture mass audience. Rohit shetty does that in Bollywood and i think he will be the one bringing audience back. I am hating myself for saying that but... If terrible movies don't make money, this industry will fail. Audience wants good content but with the money the actors ask, the producers won't make any profits. But money is not the problem yet, it will be... Actors used to take percentage of the profits. Now they will go back to taking half the budget. Why risk their money when no one wants to see. And frankly, no one wants to see three Khans, Ajay Devgn or Akshay Kumar.
I had been following your reviews for a while. Just my observation that Your reviews are becoming biased in Bollywood and your quality of reviews on South Indian movies are becoming repetitive and more sort of hyping without understanding the content in some cases. Much apt reviews in regional languages. It's obvious that you like certain types of genres, but it doesn't mean that all other genres are bad or weird. Wanted to share this review in a while. So just adding it now. Hope someone will make a video review/comparison of your reviews.
Correct finally someone observed. Also he continuously uses cringe words like " That interval block " "Omg that climax" " The BGM was great " " The cinematography was superb " in each of his South movie reviews . Like he basically just used same words in each South movie and nitpicks when reviewing any Bollywood movie like they can't have a good bgm or cinematography ever and everything needs to be perfect for him to suggest a Bollywood movie. His bias is now irritating soon might unfollow him .
I also have same observation..Thanks someone for correctly articulating it. He just gushing over an average south or regional film with lots of adjectives, unworthy praises but same is definitely missing for a good bollywood projects and think he has disliking for certain A listers of Bollywood..!!
@@juanmata2131 are you people subed to hear what you love then there are so many white people 's reaction channels where they praise top to bottom of your films no worries. no negatives . why waste you time here?
@@7_years_and_ Movie ain't that bad as he reviewed it while an bang average movie like dear comrade has been praised multiple times by him... Clearly shows his South bias right now... Even OSR gives unbiased reviews and have bashed many good movies so no interest in following them for anything. Once u realise it you would say the same too.
As a teenager i feel, the ticket prices also affect. I had better pay for subscribtion of an ott platform n watch unlimited movies there! Also, nowaday movies air on TV just within couple of months of release unlike the old days, so ppl who dont have ott watch on tv😂🤷
It is a shame that this beautiful movie is getting hate. And cancel culture really pushing to flop this movie. You can tell Aamir Khan poured his heart and soul to this film. It wasn't a perfect movie but it wasn't absolute garbage either. I enjoyed it.
The movie was neither banned nor was its screening restricted. So, there was no intolerance towards it. Movies are not supposed to be tolerated. They are supposed to be enjoyed. People just didn't feel excited about the movie and hence did not turn up. Those who wanted to boycott were well withing their rights to do it. But the movie didn't create the spark. Such things happen.
I won't watch any bollywood movies in theatres.. its just a waste of time and money... and encourage my next generation to do so.. there are better things to do in life rather waste my time on useless bollywood
Aamir commits to 1 film every 3-4 years, and handpicks every story. To know that he failed twice that too back to back, is almost unimaginable. And to see him commit to remakes is even worse.
i think you are also guilty of this going by the trend, you already made a video on boycott blowing it out of proportions, you already did an indepth review and now this looking at what other people are saying, all of a sudden following the narrative about how he can be in indian army? seriously it's a fantastical story which was already established in the first few minutes when he was a cripple and all of a sudden he could run. Now is this possible in real life? There are many other things like this is original(quite outdated if you watch it again) but people didn’t dare to question this in the classic??
Content is the king, not actors and not stardom. Audience has realised it. It is time for actors to accept it else the film is bound to not have audience.
As a south indian i liked Kota factory ,yeh kali kali anken, scam 1992 more than rrr kgf vikram... i just wish they bring in such minds into bollywood... i miss those jab we met types days... and certain scenes are just hard to watch with fam like in ashram.. and even in darlings that kiss of shefali and roshan was just unnecessary... hope they make decent content movies and bring in talents from such amazing series...
More than Aamir it was the RUclips critics who made the false propagandas against the film specially Suraj Kumar Pratik and made sure audience who had decided to watch it don't go . The general public reviews were good. Even I went to see it with my family and had a great time even though I had seen Forrest Gump. Also the sudden love towards South movies have been killing any decent film from Bollywood. Even average products like KGF Pushpa earned great numbers due to these critics what else do we expected from LSC ?
Critics were always there yeh 2 rupay ke critics thori Amir ko khatam karenge pk ke time hindu right wing se opposition thi tab bhi film chlai baat alag hai people have understood that Amir is a madarchod image khatma Amir ki abse koi film nahi chalegi people can't take disrespect towards religion and culture gand maraye Amir aur uske chodu
@ab What content do u get in KGF ? Or Pushpa? Mistreat women ? Show a criminal as hero ? Fight 1000 people alone ? Harass women's in name of romance ? This ideas are so outdated which were relevant back in 90's but thanks to South movies they are back again . 1000 rs mein kiss karegi mujhko like wtf is this ? Tujhe kidnap Kiya kyunki tu meri entertainment hai ? Wtf ? If u still think youtubers can't influence normal people or income then you are very wrong. We are living in a time where people suddenly respect KRK too . Nowdays people don't see newspapers they open RUclips and see reviewers dancing their ass off while reviewing a movie. Also RRR got good response in overseas similarly LSC has very good response by critics there you can check out the reviews. Not saying RRR was great but it was visually stunning to see . Similarly LSC isn't a masterpiece but it isn't as bad as people here are saying.
@ab Nope I don't want those things to happen in a movie but you are saying people want good content then how does KGF or Pushpa comes in that category ? How did they earned so much even after being shit ? Salman movies are trolled mercilessly you would know ofcourse. Same people left no stone unturned to praise KGF . And as i said check out the reviews of LSC overseas they are extremely positive.
@ab Even i had watched Forrest Gump but i still enjoyed LSC and i mainly went because of my family and they enjoyed it and honestly it was good enough. You can still see the crowd infront of SRK's house during his birthday it's because of his experiments of movies that they failed like Fan, Zero now when he comes back with pathaan you would see how much craze it generates. Akshay had been lazy with his works anyone can see that he is asking for his own downfall. Also Kareena mentioned about the Boycotters which are trending those stuff and still watching the movies not for general public . South stars treats their fans well because they don't have their whole life infront of the public unlike Bollywood where media follows u everywhere. But in South fans can only see what they want to see they don't know anything about their personal lives. You can see recently Siddharth ( South actor ) visited Mumbai was seen smoking joints when he asked the media to not follow him as it doesn't happens in South . Also you are now mentioning KGF was not copy paste but then u are also saying people only want good content lol how does good content exactly goes with KGF ?
@ab Ofcourse Sid is not entire South. I'm just giving example of how they are not used to see such media people following them everywhere. Also Salman bhai isn't entire Bollywood you should know that. Your main point was that good content movies would get appreciated but if u bring in KGF in that topic and say other absurd reasons like it was not a copy paste so it became hit then u are contradicting your own statement . Also just like u and I have watched Forrest Gump similarly people like my family and many other such families in India haven't watched it so the movie was mainly meant for them only. Also i don't care about Angry rantman anymore he just praises South movies even if they are bad i have unfollowed him . People were hating Pushpa and he still somehow praised it i knew right then something's wrong with him. I agree people maybe had enjoyed films like KGF and it's their personal choice just like u mentioned Heropanti . But to say it had good content is absurd it was plain horrible. Good content movies are 96 , Super deluxe , Great Indian kitchen , Malayankunju , Jai bhim , Soorarai Pottru , Gargi , Vikram etc. From Bollywood.. Article 15, URI , Batla house , Gully Boy , Gangubai , Runway 34 , Chichorre , Shershaah , Jalsa and many more and none of these were remakes. ( Mainly mentioned movies since 2019 )
Yes we boycott without watching it. But we do listened to review and again he did propoganda in this movie. Disrespecting india army by showing they take less iq and specially challenged people to the army and showing that jihadi pakistani in good light. They even know what kargil war was?? what pakistani army did to start war and did with soldiers who gone their??? Indian army send their best soldiers to kargil war. And in this movie he is shown as para soldiers really dude. Even he knew what it takes to be a para soldier?? It's one most elite unit of indian army which needs candidate not only physical strong but also mentally strong and fit. Such a crap movie. As a army brat it's a disrespect to indian army. Now don't say movie needs to taken as entertainment. No shown real-life incident in this movie and did his propoganda to manipulate people.
Thank God this movie flopped now i beleive still this country majority people are patriotic and loyal to this country. Those who are saying what's problem in showing pakistani soldier in good light. I don't have problem showing pakistani in good light. But I do have problem with showing pakistani jihadi soldier specially of kargil war in good light. It's disrespect to those kargil soldiers and disrespect to people like captain Vikram Batra who give up their life fighting them. Even this movie earned 50 crore shows many people have loyalty towards pakistan and those who love them. In starting I was not in support of boycott and i actually decided to watch it on reviews basic but people actually right about him what he did against Indian army and he actually deserved to be boycotted.
I am currently residing in US here it was whole opposite the theatres was full it was hard to get tickets. People were laughing and enjoying the movie. I think this because people had less or no influence of boycott movement. Even during lockdown we explored content like k drama and many more but the satisfaction from what is from our country is different level specify Bollywood
Not just boycott but may be you are not connected to Indian roots as well. He's the same actor who openly mocks 83 percent majority hindus religion and sentiments. Watch PK and his other political public connects in past. You can laugh and cry watching it ...we can do boycott as we love our culture and faith ..
Wao!! Americans I tell ya... No these are Indian American I guess who love to forget their roots, their cultures, their religion...Give a damn if Bollywood mock Indian religion, their culture, always prefers Sikhs as idiots, mentally disabled love to portrait them as caricature, joker ... These US Indian hotch potch class can only save their dear Bollywood because Indian audience has awakened & they are now going to give a shit to Bollywood....

I am not from India but I have been being a fan of bollywood since the age of 8 and am now 43, so my opinion on this movie as a viewer regardless of what happened BTS the transition between characters is justifiable when he is a kid he has that calmness figuring out what's different in him from others as adult he is full of energy as he came in terms with his life as an older man he is wiser. What I don't understand is why the new generation being so harsh on an industry that made such an impact in the entertainment industry.... please stop and think about the impact you make on a movie. You could not like a movie which is 100% fine at the end of the day it is a matter of preference but don't spread such bad reviews where even ppl who didn't watch the movie and were thinking to go will end up not going, depending on the amont of following you have you could contribute to the failure of a movie forget the rich ppl on set but think of the camera man, the light man the crew that are from your living class don't be the cause for them not having a job in the future, if a movie will fail let it be 80's way it was word of mouth and not bad mouthing on social media with a reach over millions just in the opening night causing it not even to have a weekend worth of income
Biggest problem with Bollywood stars is complete disconnect with masses. Also, their bad portrayal of Hinduism and pandering islamic culture & politics. Just look at their personal life and compare it with south stars, people live even the personal life of south superstars. I have Boycotted Bollywood for good. Better and truthfull artistic labour is available in other direction to Bombay cinama.
@@iftyhuq4321 marvel is giving shi t content nowadays. Though VFX are good I liked the dr strange multiverse but it wasn't that good as 1st part. DC is actually giving better content .
In the original movie the great Tom Hanks based his characters way of talking & mannerisms on the child actor who played the younger forrest. That's what differentiates the great from the good.
Aamir Khan playing a low IQ soldier does not fit the historical context of India. Honestly, boycotting this movie because people feel it is problematic politically sounds hypocritical to me, because people are vividly talking about some films in a critical fashion, and they're just ignoring the problematic aspects of other films. Like if we're talking about the second highest grossing movie in India - KGF 2, the main lead literally keeps a woman captive against her will, isn't that problematic?
A movie outing easily costs above Rs. 1000-1500 for 2 people. Considerable amount .. specially if the product is substandard. Better to donate it to charity... Amir suggested the same with Rs. 30 half-litre milk packets wasted during Shivratri.
I watched the tamil dubbed version and i don't know why, amir Khan's performance worked for me. I completely bought him as laal. I enjoyed the film, but the last 30 min people wanted to leave.
1. Case in point is Top Gun maverick- If the movie is not extremely well packaged and entertaining it will suffer because of the expectations. If Tom Cruise would have missed the bulls eye he would be going through the same. 2. Boycott Bollywood is to be taken seriously. 3. Filmmakers have to do something about IMDb and word of mouth reviews (even from those who haven't seen the movie). 4. Popcorn is wayyy too expensive than takeout. LSC was a good movie. Doesn't deserve this sort of outcome.
All these reasons you have given are from the eyes of a movie critic, Jammy. All these points are technically valid too and now that I think about it reduce the rating I had given in my mind to this movie. However, I haven't seen anyone who's seen the movie bring any of these reasons up before. I didn't notice these points while I was watching these movies & I'm pretty sure 99% of thee people wouldn't have either. I rather enjoyed the Bala part of the story & even bought that the Mujahideen soldier might get mistaken to be a Kashmiri local in the chaos of battle. We all know why this movie failed. It's not the artistry or any of the reasons mentioned in this video. India is in a weird place right now and anyone falling on the wrong side of a certain section of people are bearing the brunt of it. Thankfully, some of part of South India still seems to be immune of this virus.
I totally empathise with your connection to the film and that’s the beauty of movies, that we can have widely different experiences with the same product. I wanted to be invested honestly but I just couldn’t get there because of the creative route taken by Aamir for his character. Each to their own of course and thank you for the well thought out comment, provided me a different perspective also
Few months back when you made video about all these movies are make or break for bwood, my response according to people's attitude on social media was all gonna be flop and that's what's happening. But still bhramastra and Adipurush can do well if bwood didn't add their desparate cringe in them.
Just watched the movie and I loved it. Especially when compared to all the shite movies bollywood regularly releases. Too all the people saying its not a good movie please tell me which movies is better then this released this year so farr.
major % is boycott nothing else. Please don't expect awakened hindus to support films which constantly insults them. Hey you never mentioned about the pooja path dialogue by that amir momu. Does that ring a bell?

Post pandemic audience have greatly changed. Many only prefer to watch a movie in theatre only if it is worth it. We have more engaging content in OTT. I wish Bramhastra makes a way...
Agree with the same sentiment as well!
BHUL BHULAIYA was a massive hit and equally shit movie.
Even in youtube there are good content for time pass ❤️
And pathaan...
@@TriedRefusedProductions completely agree with u bro.. I remember commenting the same as what u have mentioned in this video in the comment section of various LSC review videos... for god's sake.. only I know how much hate I got for that...
For me casting was the main issue. Having a 58 year old play a 20 year old is just not acceptable in the realm of this film. I liked Aamir towards the end when the character aged but this film needed an actor in his 30s.
I don't think he was looking old in this movie he had lost so much weight for this movie after thugs !!
@@adityaaggarwal6383 you're joking right? Vfx was used for de aging him and he looked pathetic.
Agreed. I guess someone like Vicky Kaushal would have performed way better in this role.
you just watch this movie nd then tell! don’t believe in fools, movie is masterpiece
I dont think anybody can find a better match of Tom Hanks than Aamir khan. And I found no issue in his younger looks. Its his caricaturish acting thats the issue. Laal in his childhood and elderly age is just perfect. Middle portion_ Aamir Khan messed it up !!!
I think if at all someone else could hv been considered in this role than Aamir Khan it should hv been Ranbir Kapoor.
We can't deny the fact that "Boycott Bollywood" had a major role to play in this failure. Ofcoz now the audience is smart n they really wants to invest in the movies worth watching. OTT rise and good content in it should pave the way to the good cinema. They sooner Bollywood accepts it, the better.
@ईश्वरः परमः कृष्णः🙏 i think at least for these 2 films Boycott calls was reason... bcoz i can agree on your Story Point of LSC but Rakshabandhan was a good family film.. even that is also a disaster..
If they need good content or quality works boycott before releasing a movie unacceptable and funny .
Cant say smart .
If they boycott after knowing, it is bad movie (from critics reviews or WOM) ignoring it or boycotting it is okay.
thAt is what smart people do
@@AnujKumar-in6ci Raksha Bandhan was not a theatrical experience movie and due to ott releases people tend to wait as they would have same experience (rather better) watching movies at their homes . The main reason behind bollywood movies floping i can think of is high budget and costly theatre tickets . what was there of 80 cr in raksha bandhan . Karthikey 2 is a better movie with beautiful scenic location is made in just a budget 25 cr .Bollywood needs to think about it & Should reduce the budget of these feel good movies . You can calculate if the movies was made at a budget of 30 cr then it would have been already a hit .
That is a wrong attitude. Every movie is made for cinema. The era for cinema should not retire.
did you just use "Boycott Bollywood and "Smart Audience" together in a paragraph?😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
My thoughts on why Bollywood is failing in some movies -
1. Movies are expensive. Ticket costs minimum of Rs.200 and going with friends and family costs a big amount, hence people prefer only to watch best movies in theatre.
2 .Negative Image of bollywood after SSR death and nepotism is still the ongoing issue , some people are boycotting the films for this .
3.There was an era when people went to see khan's films without even thinking but now people prefer good content over any face . Hence films with good content are seeing golden days now .
4. OTT Platforms are more popularised . They give you convenience, abundance of content , privacy and also they are on cheaper side than watching movies in theatre..
I think these are some points and they are interlinked
Also u can add " they have to stop giving gyaan to audience on every thing,always demeaning the indian society and values except some specific days on social media, selective targeting or questioning indian or hindu traditions etc".... i can't remember there r any single big hindu festival without their gyaan in the last few years.....plus their continuous hypocritical statement, endorsement, excessive publicity stunts, too much PR, KJO's brainless nepos etc....all these....people r getting pissed off by all these....
Nepotism is quite prominent in all industries
Honestly I think the death of SSR is just an excuse to boycott all the movies. People didn't watch his movies in theatres when he was alive. Byomkesh bakshi, sonchiriya were good movies but didn't do well. And those who are boycotting Amir because of PK are forgetting that SSR played a pakistani guy in the movie.
They boycotted Kedarnath where he played a Muslim guy taking Hindus to the pilgrimage.
It's all just an excuse to target amir because he had criticised his own country.
Ahh enough with the SSR cries, nobody watched his movies either when he was alive. You are disrespecting his death by bringing him at the forefront of your hateful agendas for A-list stars in bollywood.
And no one gives a shit about Nepotism, there is reason Koffee with Karan has done 7 seasons bcz we watch it. You can cry all you want but people enjoy watching celebrities and its not like nepotism is a brand new thing, it was there before its gonna be there after. Point is they aren't making compelling movies. In a world of globalisation where you watch Dinosaurs and Superheroes and complex war thrillers, no one wants to watch cheesy hindi movies we've already seen a thousand times.
Actors aren't putting in efforts, nor are the production houses picking good stories.
@@SuperVij007 I believe, meeting the First Lady of Turkey while refusing to meet the Prime Minister of Israel is NOT just criticising your country. It's called, acting against it's geopolitical interests.
The "Boycott Bollywood" surely had role to play, but the trailer was extremely underwhelming and for the people who already saw Forest Gump surely understood that Lal Singh Chadha would not stand on the same pedestal as the original
90 percent indians would have never heard of Forrest gump let alone seeing it
@@santoshpatnaik1988 but 90% of Aamir's target audience has.
@@santoshpatnaik1988 I think that's not true. In saying this we are undermining the Indian audiences. In recent times, we as audience have learnt to appreciate good content.

Forrest gump was on trend after laal Singh chaddha trailer
I live in village
I know Little bit of English
In my friend circle I was the only one who had watched forrest gump
And i didn't recommended it to them because i thought they will not understand.
After the LSC trailer I have seen them searching for forrest gump Hindi dubbed
Do you think after watching forrest gump they will go to theatre to watch LSC ?
Iske baad ke sare remake flop hone vale he
New movie ati he tabhi vo konse movie ka remake he vale videos youtube par ate he search karne ki jarurat bhi nahi padti
People who don't care about Boycott had already watched Forrest Gump several times so it basically had no audience.
I think the movie was ok, and would have been hit if it was released before pandemic era. But yes Aamir's acting is questionable in the movie. He played a mix of PK and Samar and ended up overdoing it in LSC. A better and senior director would have not allowed this to happen.
True
tenu lena chahida si aye movie te
One of the reasons could be the general hate towards Kareena, due to her intangible interviews ! A lot of people , I spoke to told me about this !
Spot on 💪🏽☺️👏🏽👏🏽
Only in one interview she said to all those spreading hate, to not watch the movie. This was not bad thing to be said.
How would you react to people who without any logical reason tries to target you every time?
@@shouvikmajumdar6823 No but that was unnecessarily arrogant.
The fact that even a child actor acts better than Aamir Khan is crazy and unbearable to watch.
True
I know that the taste of the audience has changed, especially after the pandemic. Still, I can't fathom how a shitty and mindless film like Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 earns 200+ crores while a masterpiece like Jhund has no takers. The audience's taste hasn't evolved, it's still shit. It's just that they have become more selective and extremely intolerant.
👀
It’s all because of the boycott culture. People will watch anything that doesn’t have a star kid and/or a Khan/Kapoor.
I have same feeling regarding Pushpa and KGF, even though I want to give benifit of the doubt to KGF as it is style over substance
It's not right to say. People are watching good content cinema in theatres. Films like sita ramam, jug jug, thallumalla, karthikeya, Vikram, are working. These are good movies. And I still think if ' Darlings' released in theatre it would have been a hit. And we have to be honest Hindi movies are really mediocre and People are not appreciating mediocrity anymore.
Jhund isn't a masterpiece by any stretch. Yes it's good, but it also has it's flaws. It's poorly edited and can be shortened by at least half an hour. Also, Bhool Bhulaiya 2 is a pretty good movie with a mix of comedy and horror. Neither is really good, but it does manage to provide a good, timepass movie experience. Also, Kartik Aaryan and Kiara Advani have the ability to bring audiences to theatres, but sadly Amitabh Bachchan alone cannot garner audiences anymore. It's sad, but people nowaday would rather watch Kartik and Kiara than Amitabh Bachchan in theatres
I understand your frustration with boycott gang but then how can you force people to spend their own money into something they are not interested. This reminds me of those credit card calls 😃
Right !!!
If the filmmakers still consider boycotters as only trolls then god save their films from getting flopped
@Anoushka S and what you think matters not.
@Anoushka S If you thinks 'movies' dont hold much importance or arent 'big deal' than you need to read some books on anthropolgy and how human civilization evolved...
"The art of storytelling is one the greatest powers of humanity."
So boycotting movies is a 'big deal'...and anything which is a 'big deal' is no foollish action.
Besides ryt now ppl call 'troll' any person on internet whose words they dnt like.
@Anoushka S says an average bullywood fan consuming fart shit produced in the name of cinema by intoxicated sickular nepo kids. Better go and watch rubbish kumar on rndtv. he acts better there.
@Anoushka S 'Boycotting' by its definition can never be a manistream business...it's just ppl not buying particular product en masse.
The boycott was against Aamir(&to little extent against Kareena)..not LSC(not that it needed boycott calls to get flop anyways..).
If ppl got pissed off by what they watched in PK...it's their choice whether to continue watching a particular actor/director/producer movie or not..plane&simple.
@Anoushka S Sry but I dislike bollywood for years(mainly cos of their uncalled for lectures).....even when internet wasnt common thing....I mostly watched hollywood&anime.....so no my decisions arent based on 'some evil brainwashing sinister algo'....it's on my own interpretation.
Also I did say LSC would've flopped without boycottCampaign anyways.
Peace out.
I felt his performance after donning the turban scene became more bearable than before. The last scene on Rupa's grave was truly emotional
The last 15 minutes, Aamir truly is exceptional. I was a little taken aback on how he was not consistent with the same pitch. I guess we'll never know
@@TriedRefusedProductions Do you wish you could meet these actors someday and ask the same questions? Why did you take this approach and all
@@TriedRefusedProductions truth be said Bollywood already has its Forrest Gump it is called bajrangi bhaijaan . It is like the same character where a lovable goof triumph against all odds. The moments and the connection the US audience felt with Forrest Gump is the same Bollywood audience felt with bajrangi b. That moment was already taken. Lsc is actually a bigger blunder for Aamir Khan than you think
@@Avi09876 No doubt LSC has its issues. It's not on par with original Forest Gump but it's also not a complete disaster movie as these boycott bots are saying. I'm 100 percent sure that it Forest Gump was a recent Hollywood movie, Indian audience reaction to that movie will be same like "What a boring movie is this, there's no story in it, what were they even trying to tell?"
@@Avi09876 I totally agree with your opinion on it. One thing which I hate about these boycott people is how they're spreading false facts about the movie. Like they're saying Amir again insulted Hindus in the movie by saying "Pooja Path karne se Maleria failta hai, Dange hote hain" like seriously? They totally changed the dialogue and narrative of that scene to support their hate agenda. If you wanna boycott a movie, then simply don't watch it but don't spread wrong facts about it.
*I'm not the theatre buff I used to be, I'm only gonna watch a *GOOD* *film in theatres if it's worth it: RRR, Vikram, KGF... but Ante Sundaraniki, Major, Hridayam ALL films I absolutely LOVED... I'm gonna watch at home, on my laptop in my bed lol.. instead of spending extra money for no reason*
In those days people would ignore the small stones they found in their rice.
Then they started complaining about it.
When the complaint fell on deaf ears people started buying from a different brand of rice.
Even if LSC was a perfect remake it wouldn't have worked on BO. Let me break this into different demograpics-
Type 1( The Niche audience) At maximum there are about some 1M+ people who want to watch content oriented movies, even if the movies are slow, they can appreciate technical aspects ( which amount to 8-10cr lifetime biz). This type of audience like movies like Anurag Kashyap's upcoming Dobaaraa who are more prominent on social media only.
Type 2(The middle ground audience)- Audience that can will only watch content driven movies if they are entertaining be it in comedy or have some emotionally manipulative. This type of audience like movies like BB2, JJJ. etc
Type 3( The escapist/Mass audience )- This type make up the largest portion, if the movie is liked by this type then only your movie will be a blockbuster in BO. they like movies like KGF2, Dhoom3 etc.
LSC was too slow and not emotionally manuiplative for audience like Type 2 and it didin't have anything for audience like type 3 so it wouldn't work even in BO even if it was a perfect remake 🤞
Completely agree with your points. This is the main reason for LSC failure from day 2 onwards. But the reason for less footfall on day 1 is i guess , 1. Preview of bad acting of Aamir in trailer
2. Preview of slow genre in trailer and 3.little bit of boycott trend
Why Type-1 audience should watch this film, instead of original Forest Gump? Because they don't understand English? Don't have access to original content? To just cross-check adaptation skills of this cast and crew? So for which type of audience this movie was made? Your classification is spot on, just that makers never thought about it in 14 years and while spending 180 cr!
Even for type 1 LSC is stretching at normal tropes and with its wayward screenplay and sidestepping many societal issues which it could have really tackled .. it doesn’t hit any levels of curiosity as the TYpe 1 you mentioned must have already watched Forrest Gump and it’s ingenuity in talking about societal issues.
Yes even for type 1 audience it wasn't good, but we need more type 1 audience going to theatres also, we see a lot of praise online for some great movies like TUMBBAD but we don't see the box office collection, At max type 1 contributes about 8-10cr for the LT biz, we need more type 1 audience to encourage filmmakers to make more movies. It's really sad that Rahi anil, Konkana sen and Anand gandhi - the directors who made a terrific debut with great films haven't made their second films till date.
Sir forget about the types the movie wud have definitely worked if their were no expectations and second it needed a director like hirani who cud have tamed the movie fr the Hindi audiences sometimes the actor or maker tend to go overboard if nt kept in control
Feel really sorry fr team members and makers of LSC whose hard work have gone with te wind 😭😭😭
I watched the film yesterday in theatre, despite the boycott campaign going around.
As a Aamir fan from last 20 years, i know it's worth to watch him on big screen, but my expectations was not full filled.
The film feels like 2000's delayed release. I have watched Forest Gump for several times and I knew how the story folds but i went to watch it as our indian take on it.
To be honest, It is not worth the time or money for this film. It feels old and slow. The events in history incorporated well but the whole idea of a film is not fresh.
I liked the last hour of the movie. You are spot on when you say that it feels like a 2000's film. They should have made it around 2010 after 3 idiots.
It's not the boycott as much as it is opening our eyes to new ventures. I saw RRR and KGF because the set up was so big and it showed in the trailer too. Watching movies and dramas during lock down from Korea, south India, Thailand and other countries really put things in perspective. Even the OTT platforms have noticed this and have started to add more options from other parts of the industry. On a normal day, I would rather watch a Korean OTT drama than spend 700+ on a movie I am not even sure about. Plus with price increase, you don't go to the movies alone and you don't just watch the movie, it's either accompanied by lunch or dinner. Because honestly out of the movies that were boycotted which one was amazing and was unfairly looked over. I saw Rocketry over the weekend and balled my eyes out because it was so engaging meanwhile you yourself commented that you couldn't feel the right emotions in Rakhsha bandhan. Bollywood needs to up their game, in not just scale but in script writing.
Also, the industry handled the whole boycott thing incorrectly and it is continuing to do so. They took the love and honor that the fans gave them for granted. Sure you can't please everyone and there are some unreasonable people but you have to agree that some of the statements that these stars have given have come back to bite them. Be it Karan joking about nepotism or Kareena saying don't come, don't watch, even now Arjun Kapoor calling the industry to stand against trolls - they are the ones alienating the audience. These artist need to open their eyes and read the room, the audience has changed and they are still stuck in star stuck India.
Completely true
Arjun kapoor, oh god that guy has to QUIT
Post-Corona, the mental state has majorly affected and they approach the movies which makes them escape from worries
RRR, KGF 2, Bhool Bhulaiya 2 are great examples
Even bollywood films that have flopped have the escapist theme. I dont think audience wants to watch typical entertainers for namesake, even the huge spectacle films has to be rooted, have a plot that convinces you to believe however far fetched scenes are. Prabhas mentioned that point in interviews but all I hear from bollywood actors is leave your brains at home and all those fake reasons to watch movies. On top of that trailers are really bad with actors like akshay, Ranbir kapoor and others not even convincing audience to invest in their characters. The real success in bollywood is the kashmir files and bhool bhulaiya 2 where 2 totally different films managed to have audiences attention.
agree... escapism is the first priority of audience (atleast general audience) now... if you can't give us a two and a half hour of escape in a fictional world then you have failed
This theory doesn't fit for massive success of Kashmir files
@@abhishekchandra4484 Kashmir files was different and you must understand that. it ways controversial topic which polarized audience and as a result the majority watched it.
@@gunjantripathi9271 It might be a controversial topic for some, but it is a content driven film with very good technical aspects. And the audience blessed it.
Even Shikhara was based a "controversial" topic, yet it tanked badly. Or Shikhara didn't try to focus on the "controversial" topic enough while basing the movie on the topic?
As someone from south, I always enjoyed Aamir's movies.
I was rooting for this movie too.
Sad it didnt take off.
The more I watch about Brahmastra, the more I feel it’s gonna tank.
The cgi looks over the top and not relatable. I can’t connect to Ranbir being a super hero, the vibe just isn’t there.
About what went wrong with LSC, I think they truly messed up with the adaption. Worst was the treatment of lieutenant Dan’s character, why the f do you want to show India-Pakistan bhaichara everywhere, they missed the pulse there.
The take on religion again was unnecessary, they could have talked about other positive events. Kya sirf dange hi huye hai India mai?
It would be good if people stop preaching every time.
Completely agree with you.
Completely agree
Agreed
This 💯
Agree!! Also I can't put my finger to it but there was someonething wrong with Brahmastra's trailer. I hope am wrong as it's about indian mythology,something i would love to see.
I'm not a movie expert but in no way this movie seemed like a 180cr budget affair. This seems more odd when you see movies like Karthikeya 2 made just at a meagre 15cr. In conclusion Bollywood is just investing a high input cost irrationally making their chances of a hit venture even far fetched.
180cr because of fees of actors
@@2010akkii They should only charge share in profit currently. Specially when the production house is of these stars itself eg. Amir Khan, Red chillies etc.
@@The_Universe_Boss so next option is they just convert black money in white by showing numbers

180cr without Aamir's fees as an actor.
Exactly
Dangal had released in 2016 after Aamir Khan had made those comments in an interview in that year itself but because the end product of the movie was so good, it went on to break so many box office records. A question comes to my mind as to if Aamir himself was not sure that the end product of LSC was not upto the mark. It was strange for him to request people to watch the movie otherwise the acting ability and storyline of his movies are unmatchable.
Lal Singh Chaddha failed at box office because Aamir Khan is still in PK Hangover.
Plus doom 3 🤣
But dangal was a success right...
No he is in 90's hangover

I am a huge movie buff and love watching movies. Things have actually changed post Lockdown for me. Its not actually the boycott gang that people are not going to theaters. i would put forth my point of view. During lockdown i happen to bingewatch lot of south indian movies and Korean dramas. My entire taste of movies changed and my expectations and taste changed. I no longer wanted to watch movies with reputed production houses or bigger starcast but i prefer a good product overall with a good story line and great concept. below are the 2 movies i happen to watch in cinemas post lockdown
The Kashmir Files- i went to theater to watch this because of the word of mouth appreciation from close friends and curiosity for the reality showcased in it.
RRR- just wanted to experience this for the visual treatment given by SS Rajamouli which was meant for big screen
Apart from this i wanted to watch KGF but since i was busy travelling i could not accommodate time for same.
Boycott actually affected the business whether except it or not.as previously it was short group.
Now there are
Nepotism boycott - these people more active after SSR death actually the dumbest group. Like even ssr was in Pk
Religious boycott as even urban audience now is fed up with propaganda, I felt while this watching shamshera too . ( it's actually most effective boycott group )
Political boycott - not much effective.
@@anubhavsays your classification of boycott group is on point ...
@@anubhavsays maybe boycott has an effect on it. But there is nothing wrong with it. It's their own personal choice, if I don't want to spend my money on a particular film with a particular actor, no one can force me to watch it.

@@Aryan_Sharma_07 well I wouldn't call it a pander to Pakistani audience. Because the character directly criticized hate-mongering, religious bs, and terrorism in Pak.

You missed Vikram! It was too bloody good, even had to watch it in subtitles
Following the rise of OTT post pandemic, it's all come down to word of mouth.
It's not the objective quality of the film/story. Or professional/traditional journalist reviews.
It's simply what first day viewers are saying about a film that matters. (+To an extent, how well it's appealing to current political sentiments /detached from it completely)
LSC could have pushed through the backlash only if it was an Extraordinary good movie. Being average or even above average doesn't cut it when there is a loud set of people ready to amplify every single negative aspect of the film and make people on social media or otherwise believe an above average film is infact bad and not worth the trip to the theatre.
At the same time any film that was expected to be terrible but was even fairly good, nothing special + mostly detached rom any political topics(looking at Bhool bhulaiya) will do much better as the WOM on that is going to good.
Films like rrr, pushpa, kgf2 and Gangubai (to an extent) are where the hype was high and the films delivered to the expectations and reaped the benefits of the hype and support.
I genuinely hope all the delays with Brahmastra are worth it. Everything related to the promotion of the film is pretty exciting, it's rooted in Ancient indian mythology and both the actors and the director are pretty well liked even in the anti-nepotism atmosphere.(Alia is a favourite social media punching bag but the general public reception for her projects is always positive and no one can ever deny her talent. Every one is excited to see the pair an screen. Ranbir has a general vote of confidence for his talent. Ayaan's previous films have all been well received. People like his treatment of characters) The hype is there. Hoping they've not dropped the ball too terribly anywhere and this film can have a good run at the box office.
Vikram veda and pathan are going to have to be not just good but amazing to get over the hate waves that are inevitably waiting for them but I have my fingers crossed for them as well.
But Vikram vedha and pathaan are mass bgm action thrillers....not like lsc ..what.u think? They can overcome the hate
@@akscs373 never. You people live in pappu land. SRK is receiving the biggest hate and is jobless since half a decade. The name Pathan sounds racist and Islamist and a cover for justifying Jihad. That's what people think
Vikram Vedna will be a flop because Hritik supported LSC and people are angry. Plus it's a cheap copy of the south Indian movie. People can easily watch the original with subtitles instead of wasting money .

@@Varun4_here whatever makes u and them sleep peacefully
Totally agree with your analysis!
I think the post-pandemic things have changed a lot for audiences, they are okay not watching every movie in theaters, they can wait, they can wait for the movies to come on OTT, I am someone who use to go to movies every week on week, but now I am okay, it isn't the only source of entertainment anymore, OTT is giving amazing content, and the audience would like to go theater only if it's worth it, such as marvel movies because they are cinematic experience or KGF which had the mass appeal! Boycut does hurt to an extent but that's not the only reason!
True
Man seeing all these Bollywood failures really makes me nervous for Brahmastra and I have high hopes for the film. And I hope it doesn't fails at the box office and gives us a really good Trilogy.
It's going to flop
Hope for the same as well! HOPE!
Chill.. audiance h tu.. producer nahee
300cr that too for a bollywood movie also Deepika's cameo.(boycott intesifies)Nah. I don't think it's going to make more than 300cr. Here in south it has no buzz.
Let's hope for the best. I am going to watch this movie for Alia tho
I was really excited to watch brahmastra but with each new soundtrack my excitement for the movie dies down. The love songs just don't vibe with the tone of the movie. Il give it a pass most probably.
The trailer of LSC gave a glimpse of what was in the store. So it was expected. The #hate campaign for Aamir is too much. He deserves respect for his past gems like #dangal, #tarezameenpar.
But, bollywood really needs this shake up to respect the sensibilities of people and start giving their writers, technicians their due. Down south, we know the choreographers name, lyricist is appreciated if the quality of dance and song is good. A good producer is called out in the film events. Fans are treated with respect. I don't see that in the Hindi movies at all now.. Remember Salim javed, kader khan and lyricists like prasoon joshi. Who do you have now? No one knows the #technicians names of Hindi movies. Bollywood should address the root problems. When you see interviews of the actors like #Arjun kapoor who is hell bent on talking about trolls rather than accepting the bitter truth that a well made movie is what public wants, the war is already lost. Imagine someone like him being in the brain storming sessions of how to revive the hindi movie industry! I stop my rant here and seriously hope for its revival.
Agree with u. It's really painful to see great actors like aamir hasnt been treated with due respect. When we suggest hindi films to our some other languages friends definitely 6 out of 10 vl be aamirs. But this phase happens in every great actors carrier. Hope he vl bounce back to his place soon.
Nope.
Dont worry guys great work are not forgotten this easily. His movies are most watch globally than any other Bollywood stars.

There was no need for being so harsh on such a beautiful movie.
Now this is what I call a perfect constructive criticism, the way it should. With the controversy surrounding the film, I restrained myself from even discussing the film but you've pointed out all the problems I had with the film perfectly. Having said that, even though Forrest Gump is a very human film, it is also an American film and I always had the feeling that an adaptation of it would never work here in a country which is both culturally and philosophically diverse as ours.
@TRP - The reason why Muhammad (manav) goes undetected (this is according to me) is that in the film the war sequence starts with army being led by a bunch of local shepherds so it’s possible that he could have been mistakenly considered as one of the shepherds
Nice logic 👍
make more video on baycott nepotism make video every time so people remember
That was the logic sought to bring across by the makers... That's why it was mentioned in the narration by LSC
Does your observation indirectly hint makers of this movie are pro terrorists and are happy to see them escape?;))
Okay … cool , what about later though when he became a businessman , No PAN card , no identity proof , No IT returns ? Film hai bolke the guys are openly admitting that the guy stayed in India on fake documents, see it is ofcourse a reality for lot of illegal migrants , but they are mostly just part of a crowd - invisible in the larger scheme of things unlike Muhammad’s character
2 saal pehle tak bola jata Tha ( Filmo ka maza to theatre me hi ata he ) par lockdown ne logo ka mindset change kar diya .. abb logo ne apna jonar set kar liya he badi masala filme theatre me baki filme tv or Ott par.
I’ll be honest I was one of the hater initially but after it was on Netflix and I started watching it over 1 hour I was immediately obsessed with it and it changed my perspective of it now I love this movie
LOL. What about the movie changed your mind? It's a disaster
Why do Bollywood have to go out of the way to please Pakistani Audience that they have to alter the story completely. The Pakistani ‘Militant’ Part was completely Unnecessary- Lieutenant Dan had a great character arc in which he wanted to die for the country because he thought that was his life’s motive after that goes into depressive state then blaming hump going through stages of Grief and then overcoming it all. Aamir Freaking ruined this just to please Pakistani Audiences/Other country markets and get movie ticket sales from there.
Have you watched the movie?
Not watching is a loss of the audience
Hello.
I live in Tanzania and have been watching your channel for sometime. I am a die hard fan of forrest gump.. its the first Hollywood movie that actually made me shed a tear. I watched your review and it got me thinking as the points u raised and watching the trailer.. it was so obvious that the tone seemed bit too much than the original.
Still I watched the movie and to my surprise.. the kids track totally took me in. And I do agree with you that the older Lal .. is more connected to the kid than the younger adult Lal. BUT..
Being a fan of the original.. I still got invested in the story and the acting. The problem the audience doesn't go to enjoy the movie rather to have critic points. I only wanted to see if those moments which made me shed a tear while watching the original happen to me in its adaptation. And Yes that happened!... and it happened after going into the movie reading and watching so many bad and negative reviews. It remains a story that touches your heart and its adaptation is beautiful too. The reason of its failure in India is the agenda that was there from the beginning against it... thats my thinking as been seeing that a lot. And u can say that the audience that went to theatres 10 yrs ago.. arent going there anymore and they have resorted to OTT.
I agree ..aamir didn't showcase anything new in his acting from his past performances but haven't people liked shahrukh Khan in his early days when he was acting in the same tonality in all his movies.
Times have changed!
That's all.
LSC is very late to come in...
This feel content is available on OTT too with Panchayat and Gullak kind of series.... thats all
make video every time so people remember make more video on baycott nepotism
Prefect!!!!
We shouldn't see movies tooo critically.. These are the negligible points. Anyway times have changed. Masses don't watch non entertaining movies and thus box office numbers don't rise.
Tanzania ??? ........is that like in China 🇨🇳.
@@haidenhill6358 nope. That's east Africa
Usually even bad movies with a superstar would have a good run for a few days before falling off the charts. That LSC failed from day one means that the boycott was effective.
@Rajat Tyagi cope
@Rajat Tyagi awe , the main reason is these actors take us for granted do now we are taking them as granted so whatever your theory is suits your narrative well .
@Rajat Tyagi When they will start making good sensible movies again give what majority wants. Or atleast match the level of ott. Bollywood got nothing original now.
@Rajat Tyagi When they will start making good sensible movies again give what majority wants. Or atleast match the level of ott. Bollywood got nothing original now.
@Rajat Tyagi nope. The movie mafia will go dowhill, they deserve it. If you love them you go and watch them.
I have seen in an interview where Tom Hanks mentioned that they came up with the particular southern accent of Forrest Gump from the child artist. He spoke that way and Tom Hanks decide to adopt it instead of the other way around.
Here we can clearly see that LSC as adult and child is totally different person
The fact that it's getting harder and harder to make audience to walk into theaters and seeing the big players like aamir failing to do it, I wonder what small movie makers gonna do it ( small in terms of popularity scale budget ) most audience prefer to watch it in ott and they gonna miss some gems which are made for theater
Idk what to say I admire aamirs dedication
Wrong. Kashmir Files was a massive hit. RRR, Pushpa was a massive hit as well. I am sure people in North belt are not very familiar with Ram Charan and NTR. People still showered their love for those movies. I think it's only Bollywood that is being targeted.
Just watch Kartikye 2 a movie made of 15-20 crore and is doing quite well
@@deepakmishraRF not well thou...just 20 crs till now
@@ankitapattanaik6059 don't know why rrr was a massive hit, didn't appeal to me, those hyper illogical action sequences, and overly dramatic scenes, not really my thing, find bollywood still much sensitive in terms of rhetoric presentation or whatever it is
Bollywood is corrupted, people don't want to fund it by going to theatres.
The description of this videos says that this was one of the most anticipated movies from bollywood this year. The fact that a remake of a Hollywood classic is anticipated so highly speaks a lot about the quality of bollywood films these days.
I love Amir Khan. He is a brilliant actor who over the last several years have consistently given us quality content, more importantly original content.
The ONLY reason why I did not watch 'Laal Singh Chaddha' is because it was a remake. That too a remake of a film that is close to my heart. I don't want an actor of Amir's stature and caliber spending his time making remakes. I'd much rather support him when he comes out with something original.
Was not even close to forest gump
Rather than Kargil, if they had substituted the Vietnam War with India's disastrous IPKF operation in Sri Lanka in the late 80s, it would've made much more sense. Of course, in the real world, Laal's psychological condition wouldn't have qualified him for the Army to begin with.
I also think the premise of FG doesn't quite align with India's historical and cultural experiences. From the bits I've seen on social media, the movie seems like a rather pedestrian adaption of FG.
Needless to say, it's shocking that Aamir totally missed out on Tom Hanks's subtle performance as a man on the spectrum. Classic case of narcissism and patronizing attitude towards the audience.
One thing is that Hanks had the freedom to relive the character. Aamir on the hand was too involved in every department of the film. So, performing under such pressure sure is unnerving. For once the perfectionist could not be perfect
In short he should've spend money and time creating original stories and respect craft and its process. Hear lots of actors just treating craft as a joke and they're not even proficient. Just some melodramatic or theatrical performance with dialogue baazi doesn't make for great acting. On top of that theres no innovative story that audience is interested to invest time and money going to theater.
@@Donnierajproductions Well, he could have used his platform to promote another actor or you know, delegated other roles. So we come back to the original point of classic Narcissism
you know what is the irony..? before LSC was announced i watched Green mile and Forrest gump and thought if anyone in india can pull off such characters that would be Aamir ! My friends and i discussed the same and was so excited when aamir was doing FG ! but damn never in my dreams i thought the movie was going to be sub par ESPECIALLY aamir's performance !!
@@TheGowshikan coming back to his performance, it is still good.. If you think a while the faces of our actors.. Very few can play that Or physically appealing in all the scenes. Aamir fits to the T.. But, how TH played it that has etched in our memories... Aamir's character had no synchrony to the young and the old. To be precise the facial expressions shouldn't have been as he portrayed from college onwards... But, the posture he mintained in the races, while running at college from the bullies is too good. Both Kareena and he looking damn good. At the end my wife innocently giggled and cried after a long time watching a bollywood film! BTW, she disliked RRR before this!
If Brahmāstra concentrates more on love story rather than the actual Āstras than it will be their Achilles Heel like Muhammad was for Laal Singh Chaddha.
I hope love story is just a subplot and does not take up 3/4th of the film; although if the love story has significance for the story (if Alia turns out to be Parvati for Ranbeer's Shiva or something like that), otherwise it will tank
@@mysticbarbarian1567 I am having a really bad feeling they'll concentrate more on Love story aspect of the film. Although I really want this movie to succeed.
It failed because
1. Now people don't forget
2. Now people don't forgive
3. Now people don't demand but rather WANT ...AND THEY WANT QUALITY
4.You may follow any ideology but if you put your national identity into question because you don't get what you wanted then it doesn't mean that others are wrong ...aamir learnt his lesson this time and so the Bollywood...if you think public is C then you are the real C
So aptly analyzed !!
Thanks for the mention, Jammy!
All those saying films are failing in thetres coz of OTT platforms.. Well Gehraiyan was a huge flop show despite being released on OTT.. coz Bollywood is now largely synonymous to CRINGE
This is the post pandemic era plus OTT era… I personally would not be interested in going out to watch any movie, unless it is some big Marvel movie or something like that..life is too busy to take out time to go out and watch when you can just watch better stuff according to your own free time.
Problems with Bollywood
1.Thinking audience will watch movie for the actors (HERO)
2.People Dont mind remakes
3. People Care about Holiday Releases
4.Song are irrelevant
5.People dont have any relevant content to watch
6.People care about superstars and their extra previlaged kids
7.Boycott calls dont impact BO Numbers
Personally I went to watch the movie in Theaters yesterday and while I understand your criticism, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thorough the movie was quite long, I really enjoyed how sweet and wholesome the movie was and how many small messages were captured within the story. It was also quite admirable and respectful on how they focused on Sikh Events such as The Golden Temple Attack, Sikh Gen*cide in New Delhi, Aamir Khan watching another Sardar putting on his Paagri and then applying his own on the end. In this day and age even Punjabi movies focus more on comedy then Sikhism it’s self in a respectful way. I also loved the characters, now while Bala was a bit over the top, I do think that the comedy in the first half allowed the audience to settle in for the deeper aspects later.
make video every time so people remember make more video on baycott nepotism
Spot on propoganda 😡 they showed indian army saves pakistani army and let him live in india do business who was shooting at indian army in Kargil 🙂 Abdul real I'd se aa m.c grandu 😡
small messages like -'Do not do pooja. It causes Malaria' is the reason first show had less than 20 percent occupancy. Perhaps, it lived up to PK in notoriety in messaging.
@@indieboy1033 If you want to pray, go ahead no one is stopping you. However, Laal pointed out God is In everyone. When one becomes too extreme with religion, they end up attacking and killing other people over religion and look at the events around you. How many killings have happened because of Religion? It’s extremists who ruin it and manipulate religion for others.
@@indieboy1033 first of all he never said 'do not do pooja'. He said 'mazhab se malaria failta hai'. People like to manipulate words to further their own agendas. And tbh the line works in the movie's context. Stop cherrypicking. And anyway that part is attributed to dialogue writing which aamir is not at the helm of.
don't you think it's a bit unfair to say the movie is bad because the situations shown in the movie will not be possible in real life? can't we argue that a fictional story that was adapted from another culture and place, tweaked to better fit our narrative is allowed some creative freedom to keep the soul of the story alive? isn't it high time that we Indians learn to separate the actors from the character they play and the situations in movies from real life? it's one thing to change the facts in a autobiographical movie and another in a movie about fictional characters.
Hello. It's about time that Bollywood movies learn to respect the public sentiment before going on a preaching streak. Otherwise, they will keep getting big 0s in box office. Why should 'Indians' put up with wokeness?
Wokeness is rejected everywhere in the world. Even in Hollywood, 'creative liberty' showcasing unnatural and forced feminism, inclusivity tanked. It is YOU who should understand that every audience in this world doesn't like woke films. You should learn Indian audience are like that too.
Sure but the changes are not for the better.
@@rahul3134 some wokness is better for Indians. otherwise, we will be stuck watching movies where the hero rapes the heroine and the court orders him to marry her and eventually they fall in love. also, what is woke in saying that we should try to separate the characters from the actors? I wasn't even commenting on the plot or weakness of the movie.
just like there are people who like movies with a message there will be people who don't like them. also there are a lot of woke movies that did remarkably well too so if well-done people will watch them. also who elected you to speak on behalf of the indian audience?
@@aniket8350 I didn't like amir khan's acting in this. but I don't have a problem with plot where his character is in the army even though in real life that won't be possible. i just tell myself that it's a fictional world where this is possible for the sake of the story
@@lia-yk3ef
Showing army officers is mad is not wokeness or progressiveness lmao
Food for thought…
Salman Khan’s Tubelight
SRK’s Zero
and now…Amir Khan’s LSC…
I think the audience and the fans only want to see them playing larger than life characters and not a tone down version or physically or mentally challenged characters.
Or they suck at playing those characters and those movies suck.
@@RaghunandanReddyC agreed
Uff what amir did was insult to autism
Good point. It doesn’t fit our expectation of them. PK would be an exception to the rule, that was a fantastic film. I actually enjoyed Tubelight.
I feel even if LSC was a perfect remake , it would still not have been loved as much as the original because of the cinema we r used to seeing. Its not something which is outright comedic or a solid message giving movie . It is a subtle movie which doesn’t try to prove anything, just demands to be felt. Forrest gump even though is a classic but it is not a movie which people would like if released in present day. Maybe people have moved on to a different kind of cinema , which may not be better . Slice of life classics have become a genre which if released now doesn’t have the same impact be it hollywood or bollywood. The genre i fell is slowing dying. We r way past the eras of shawshank and the godfather’s. Sad but harsh reality. 💔
We are yet to reach the level of Swashank Redemption and Godfather, long way to go. We have, however, very good movies in other genres though, especially from the South.
Harsh reality is a 30 years experienced Amir acted very badly despite of having a full movie as reference..the makers cant change the settings properly as per indian context..and the shameless love for Pakistani..Sita Ramam is a 2022 romantic film with social messaging and its a hit film. Its not that only action movies worked
People now have very refined taste even tier -2 and 3 cities people so definitely people care about original content or something engaging
@Silk Sonic exactly. If we want to watch Hollywoodesque content we will watch the original
@Silk Sonic don't bring south here
You can't say boycott Bollywood did this coz it's dependent A LOT on the product.
There was hate for both sadak 2 and gangubai for the nepotism and boycott stuff but look at people reception.
The product matters a lot than some may think.
I agree, its more the product than preconceived notions
Agreed
Just go through some kartikeya 2 public review some reporters asked public why they choose watching kartikeya 2 over LSC ? They clearly said they don't want to watch bollywood because of amir & kareena statements. It clearly shows public boycotted the film though film was also not good I agree 💯
Exactly
Keeping aside the BoycottAmir for a sec looking at the movie on it's own merit, it is a let down especially to audiences who have already seen Forest Gump like me. At times movies pace was so slow it felt like a documentary. It also amazes me how come the movie's budget increased so much when there is not much CGI or action sequences of any kind in the film.

Why not watch the original instead of a badly acted copy?
Watched original thank u very much
Post-pandemic, it seems like the audience's nd critic's taste has gone down. LSC is a good move even though not the best. It was watchable.
Why does the nepotism argument and calls for boycott come into play when it’s Hindi films only? All the lead actors in all the south movies that were such hits ARE blatant products of ‘nepotism’ - and yet NO ONE there talks about boycotting them. Why? Because of their religion? Crazy times indeed.
Lol no cuz they've good content.
All the films that are being boycotted or trolled weren't good films in any shape.
Runway 34 was flop but it was great.
Kartikeya 2 is getting recognition cuz it's better than LSC & RB
We telugu film industry have nepo too but here actors knows their place and they don't preach like bolly actors arrogantly do.
Because South movies aren't Hinduphobic like Bollywood. South is not in love with Pakistan. & Bollywood gang which harass outsiders became a reason for hatred after Sushant 's dearg
People are not boycotting south movies cuz despite nepotism, the actors are humble. Not arrogant like Kareena Kapoor Khan or Arjun Kapoor.
What a joke, anyone with common sense and good taste can see why they are not hated as the nepo kids in Bollywood, it's because they deliver good films and performances, if a nepo kid does not perform good the people don't go watch their movies, an example is Fahad fasil's first movie, the performances and movies that Fahad, Dulquer, pruthviraj, has given to the industry is a testament to why they are so loved.
Seeing the Bollywood trend I believe either Brahmastra will be a big hit blowing everything out of the water, or it will fail so miserably that no one in the coming few years in Bollywood would dare take on such a project.
Honestly it doesn't matter if Bollywood takes or discard brahmastra types of projects because the way south industry has shown its capabilities in future they can create a bigger and better projects

I really think the Boycott campaign has done the harm! As an audience, only two things didn't work for me, Aamir's acting and stretched climax. But even then, I felt the overall movie was decent. And same movie would have earned a lot pre pandemic when there were no boycott campaigns.
P.S - No comparison with the original though !

Boycott has done a great job.
Glad it worked.
As you said acting and storytelling didn't work for the film as a whole. No boycott or whatever can affect this movie when the filmmakers and actors have done damage to their own film.
I literally watched forest gump last year. It’s available on Amazon prime. And was recommended by my friend. Why would people who get to watch original so easily, will watch LSC, when I have Marathi movies lined up, and they are pretty original.
lmao not at all
All Hopes on bramhastra 😭😭🤞, Please be good..
Screenshot it.
It's going to be a shitshow.
boycott bollywood
Screen shot it, it won't. Ayan Mukherjee will be successful again, more heavy vfx on the way.
I think brahmastra will be hit.They should promote it more in south.It won't cross 500 crores
I totally trust Brahmāstra
Reason for failure -
10% - Amir Khan bad acting
15% - bad direction
25% - it is a remake of a Hollywood classic
25% - Boycott Bollywood campaign
25% - Amirs anti indian, anti hindu remarks + insult to hindu gods in PK.
I don't think it failed 'badly'. The movie was good, obviously Forrest Gump is way better, it's a classic, but LSC was also good in it's own way. Aamir acted a little over the top in the beginning, then by the 30th min mark he was fine (with a few moments here and there)
Box office no. Said it all. It did fail
@@ishabargale3216so is rocketry, Karthikeya 2, etc not even collecting 50 crs

Thats affecting bollywood economy...not Indian economy.
Also Bollywood actors were ones who started this boycott campaign, they have all practically boycotted Vivek Agnihotri cos he didn't towed their lines
i think the movie was great... Just watched it from netflix... Sales may have failed in Theaters.. but me watching this coming from PH.. it really moved me and was in tears.. i also loved how this was adapted in India history.. he really has captured and showcased India and the rich culture beautifully here... Hope I can visit India soon. ♥️♥️♥️
What I feel now is how will the movie industry work??
The reason Bollywood movies worked is due to extravaganza... Which requires money. Now I don't see blockbusters coming that frequently... There was a time when every movie made 100 cr in the budget of 60 cr. Now it's reverse. Every movie is made close to 100cr and barely make 60.
I think people have lost faith in Bollywood. The last Bollywood movie i watched before LSC was Kabir Singh, that too cause i liked the original. Since then i have not seen any. I am not hyped for it....
And i think that is missing. The hype.
I don't think there is any movie creating Hype. bramhastra will also flop and so will Vikram Veda... There is no hype. The best Hype i have seen in past year was all south movies, pushpa, kgf2 and rrr.
I think the reason is simple, film maker don't know how to capture mass audience. Rohit shetty does that in Bollywood and i think he will be the one bringing audience back. I am hating myself for saying that but...
If terrible movies don't make money, this industry will fail.
Audience wants good content but with the money the actors ask, the producers won't make any profits.
But money is not the problem yet, it will be... Actors used to take percentage of the profits. Now they will go back to taking half the budget. Why risk their money when no one wants to see. And frankly, no one wants to see three Khans, Ajay Devgn or Akshay Kumar.
I had been following your reviews for a while. Just my observation that Your reviews are becoming biased in Bollywood and your quality of reviews on South Indian movies are becoming repetitive and more sort of hyping without understanding the content in some cases. Much apt reviews in regional languages. It's obvious that you like certain types of genres, but it doesn't mean that all other genres are bad or weird. Wanted to share this review in a while. So just adding it now. Hope someone will make a video review/comparison of your reviews.
Correct finally someone observed. Also he continuously uses cringe words like " That interval block "
"Omg that climax" " The BGM was great " " The cinematography was superb " in each of his South movie reviews . Like he basically just used same words in each South movie and nitpicks when reviewing any Bollywood movie like they can't have a good bgm or cinematography ever and everything needs to be perfect for him to suggest a Bollywood movie. His bias is now irritating soon might unfollow him .
I also have same observation..Thanks someone for correctly articulating it. He just gushing over an average south or regional film with lots of adjectives, unworthy praises but same is definitely missing for a good bollywood projects and think he has disliking for certain A listers of Bollywood..!!

As a teenager i feel, the ticket prices also affect. I had better pay for subscribtion of an ott platform n watch unlimited movies there! Also, nowaday movies air on TV just within couple of months of release unlike the old days, so ppl who dont have ott watch on tv😂🤷
u have a point
It is a shame that this beautiful movie is getting hate. And cancel culture really pushing to flop this movie. You can tell Aamir Khan poured his heart and soul to this film. It wasn't a perfect movie but it wasn't absolute garbage either. I enjoyed it.

@@DjokerFan evokes emotion like no other Indian movie I have watched.. doubt a person unaffected is even human..

Absolutely right man. Jug jug jiyo being a Dharma movie with star kid still earned good money. Because it's a good family film.
Also Dangal came just after Pk. And it made records. Fans just don't want to accept that this film failed to connect.

It makes no sense to review the failure of a film without discussing the intolerance it has faces prior to its release
I felt this was a good movie!!! This is a well adapted movie...Not sure why jammy is always criticizing this movie!!!!
lol, now u r giving us lot of credit.
The movie was neither banned nor was its screening restricted. So, there was no intolerance towards it. Movies are not supposed to be tolerated. They are supposed to be enjoyed. People just didn't feel excited about the movie and hence did not turn up. Those who wanted to boycott were well withing their rights to do it. But the movie didn't create the spark. Such things happen.
@@robinchatterjee8331 hahahah..
Watched it today, This is a good adaptation
I won't watch any bollywood movies in theatres.. its just a waste of time and money... and encourage my next generation to do so.. there are better things to do in life rather waste my time on useless bollywood
Aamir commits to 1 film every 3-4 years, and handpicks every story. To know that he failed twice that too back to back, is almost unimaginable. And to see him commit to remakes is even worse.
i think you are also guilty of this going by the trend, you already made a video on boycott blowing it out of proportions, you already did an indepth review and now this looking at what other people are saying, all of a sudden following the narrative about how he can be in indian army? seriously it's a fantastical story which was already established in the first few minutes when he was a cripple and all of a sudden he could run. Now is this possible in real life? There are many other things like this is original(quite outdated if you watch it again) but people didn’t dare to question this in the classic??
Content is the king, not actors and not stardom. Audience has realised it. It is time for actors to accept it else the
film is bound to not have audience.
As a south indian i liked Kota factory ,yeh kali kali anken, scam 1992 more than rrr kgf vikram... i just wish they bring in such minds into bollywood... i miss those jab we met types days... and certain scenes are just hard to watch with fam like in ashram.. and even in darlings that kiss of shefali and roshan was just unnecessary... hope they make decent content movies and bring in talents from such amazing series...
More than Aamir it was the RUclips critics who made the false propagandas against the film specially Suraj Kumar Pratik and made sure audience who had decided to watch it don't go . The general public reviews were good. Even I went to see it with my family and had a great time even though I had seen Forrest Gump.
Also the sudden love towards South movies have been killing any decent film from Bollywood. Even average products like KGF Pushpa earned great numbers due to these critics what else do we expected from LSC ?
Critics were always there yeh 2 rupay ke critics thori Amir ko khatam karenge pk ke time hindu right wing se opposition thi tab bhi film chlai baat alag hai people have understood that Amir is a madarchod image khatma Amir ki abse koi film nahi chalegi people can't take disrespect towards religion and culture gand maraye Amir aur uske chodu
@ab What content do u get in KGF ? Or Pushpa?
Mistreat women ? Show a criminal as hero ? Fight 1000 people alone ? Harass women's in name of romance ?
This ideas are so outdated which were relevant back in 90's but thanks to South movies they are back again . 1000 rs mein kiss karegi mujhko like wtf is this ? Tujhe kidnap Kiya kyunki tu meri entertainment hai ? Wtf ?
If u still think youtubers can't influence normal people or income then you are very wrong. We are living in a time where people suddenly respect KRK too . Nowdays people don't see newspapers they open RUclips and see reviewers dancing their ass off while reviewing a movie.
Also RRR got good response in overseas similarly LSC has very good response by critics there you can check out the reviews. Not saying RRR was great but it was visually stunning to see . Similarly LSC isn't a masterpiece but it isn't as bad as people here are saying.
@ab Nope I don't want those things to happen in a movie but you are saying people want good content then how does KGF or Pushpa comes in that category ? How did they earned so much even after being shit ? Salman movies are trolled mercilessly you would know ofcourse. Same people left no stone unturned to praise KGF . And as i said check out the reviews of LSC overseas they are extremely positive.
@ab Even i had watched Forrest Gump but i still enjoyed LSC and i mainly went because of my family and they enjoyed it and honestly it was good enough. You can still see the crowd infront of SRK's house during his birthday it's because of his experiments of movies that they failed like Fan, Zero now when he comes back with pathaan you would see how much craze it generates. Akshay had been lazy with his works anyone can see that he is asking for his own downfall. Also Kareena mentioned about the Boycotters which are trending those stuff and still watching the movies not for general public . South stars treats their fans well because they don't have their whole life infront of the public unlike Bollywood where media follows u everywhere. But in South fans can only see what they want to see they don't know anything about their personal lives. You can see recently Siddharth ( South actor ) visited Mumbai was seen smoking joints when he asked the media to not follow him as it doesn't happens in South .
Also you are now mentioning KGF was not copy paste but then u are also saying people only want good content lol how does good content exactly goes with KGF ?
@ab Ofcourse Sid is not entire South. I'm just giving example of how they are not used to see such media people following them everywhere. Also Salman bhai isn't entire Bollywood you should know that.
Your main point was that good content movies would get appreciated but if u bring in KGF in that topic and say other absurd reasons like it was not a copy paste so it became hit then u are contradicting your own statement .
Also just like u and I have watched Forrest Gump similarly people like my family and many other such families in India haven't watched it so the movie was mainly meant for them only.
Also i don't care about Angry rantman anymore he just praises South movies even if they are bad i have unfollowed him . People were hating Pushpa and he still somehow praised it i knew right then something's wrong with him. I agree people maybe had enjoyed films like KGF and it's their personal choice just like u mentioned Heropanti . But to say it had good content is absurd it was plain horrible.
Good content movies are 96 , Super deluxe , Great Indian kitchen , Malayankunju , Jai bhim , Soorarai Pottru , Gargi , Vikram etc.
From Bollywood.. Article 15, URI , Batla house , Gully Boy , Gangubai , Runway 34 , Chichorre , Shershaah , Jalsa and many more and none of these were remakes. ( Mainly mentioned movies since 2019 )
They remake a 30 year old classic like forest gump in 2022 and wonder why it failed
I watched this movie. I was crying my eyes out since the start especially the childhood parts! Wasn’t that bad of a remake! 👍🏻
Do u think people will understand that simple thing they had boycott the movie without watching
@@jyotisubedi7421 Exactly 🙁🥲🥲🥲
Yes we boycott without watching it. But we do listened to review and again he did propoganda in this movie. Disrespecting india army by showing they take less iq and specially challenged people to the army and showing that jihadi pakistani in good light. They even know what kargil war was?? what pakistani army did to start war and did with soldiers who gone their??? Indian army send their best soldiers to kargil war. And in this movie he is shown as para soldiers really dude. Even he knew what it takes to be a para soldier?? It's one most elite unit of indian army which needs candidate not only physical strong but also mentally strong and fit. Such a crap movie. As a army brat it's a disrespect to indian army. Now don't say movie needs to taken as entertainment. No shown real-life incident in this movie and did his propoganda to manipulate people.
Thank God this movie flopped now i beleive still this country majority people are patriotic and loyal to this country. Those who are saying what's problem in showing pakistani soldier in good light. I don't have problem showing pakistani in good light. But I do have problem with showing pakistani jihadi soldier specially of kargil war in good light. It's disrespect to those kargil soldiers and disrespect to people like captain Vikram Batra who give up their life fighting them. Even this movie earned 50 crore shows many people have loyalty towards pakistan and those who love them. In starting I was not in support of boycott and i actually decided to watch it on reviews basic but people actually right about him what he did against Indian army and he actually deserved to be boycotted.
I am currently residing in US here it was whole opposite the theatres was full it was hard to get tickets. People were laughing and enjoying the movie. I think this because people had less or no influence of boycott movement. Even during lockdown we explored content like k drama and many more but the satisfaction from what is from our country is different level specify Bollywood
yup! we are eating their shit up and loving it.
Not just boycott but may be you are not connected to Indian roots as well. He's the same actor who openly mocks 83 percent majority hindus religion and sentiments. Watch PK and his other political public connects in past. You can laugh and cry watching it ...we can do boycott as we love our culture and faith ..
Wao!! Americans I tell ya... No these are Indian American I guess who love to forget their roots, their cultures, their religion...Give a damn if Bollywood mock Indian religion, their culture, always prefers Sikhs as idiots, mentally disabled love to portrait them as caricature, joker ... These US Indian hotch potch class can only save their dear Bollywood because Indian audience has awakened & they are now going to give a shit to Bollywood....
Its because there are less number of bhakts in the US. Anyplace where these idiots bhakts dont exist is peaceful
@@user-ti5fv4sb2g perhaps fours ago that was the case but post pandemic not so much. my gateway drug to Indian cinema (RRR) came from an american youtube film reviewer dude who is white as f**k. like i said before this movie was made for India not the usa. we are just all kinds of curious about it. i personally believe that the lead actor's performance was too all over the place for its intended audience.
Nepotism in hindi movies is intolerable.
Nepotism in south is 😎.
My fingers are crossed only for Brahmastra. If it turns out to be good movie then I will support it otherwise I won't. Other than that I don't give a damn about Pathaan, Dunki or Tiger 3.
Bramastra is next to become epic disaster
@@TravelT3 Now after the Alia's statement, I want Brahmastra to flop badly. Fu** the storyline, ye Bollywood wale bahut hawa me ud rahe he, inko zameen pe lana bahut zaroori hai.
@@rahul_314 ek ch5tiya ki waja se pura film ko boycott nhi karna chahiye. Yes hate bollywood expect bramastra not going to watch any bollywood movies in theatre

Definitely gonna watch them in Theatres
Not brahmastra
Ps 1 and avtar

Waiting for bhramastra
Waiting for Vikram vedha and Brahmastra
It’s funny that Forrest Gump suddenly jumped to #9 in India overnight once Lal Singh Chadhha released lol! Seems like people boycotted it and instead watched forest gump
I am not from India but I have been being a fan of bollywood since the age of 8 and am now 43, so my opinion on this movie as a viewer regardless of what happened BTS the transition between characters is justifiable when he is a kid he has that calmness figuring out what's different in him from others as adult he is full of energy as he came in terms with his life as an older man he is wiser. What I don't understand is why the new generation being so harsh on an industry that made such an impact in the entertainment industry.... please stop and think about the impact you make on a movie. You could not like a movie which is 100% fine at the end of the day it is a matter of preference but don't spread such bad reviews where even ppl who didn't watch the movie and were thinking to go will end up not going, depending on the amont of following you have you could contribute to the failure of a movie forget the rich ppl on set but think of the camera man, the light man the crew that are from your living class don't be the cause for them not having a job in the future, if a movie will fail let it be 80's way it was word of mouth and not bad mouthing on social media with a reach over millions just in the opening night causing it not even to have a weekend worth of income
Biggest problem with Bollywood stars is complete disconnect with masses. Also, their bad portrayal of Hinduism and pandering islamic culture & politics. Just look at their personal life and compare it with south stars, people live even the personal life of south superstars.
I have Boycotted Bollywood for good. Better and truthfull artistic labour is available in other direction to Bombay cinama.
Again relegion
Biggest mood spoil was, over use of tennu tussi twadda atthey utthey..
I would like to hear your take on the current trend/taste of films/audiences. Influence of OTT, bad content, marketing methods etc...
Nothing has changed ,, the same Salman khan type movies are the fan favourites ,,
Marvel movies are the true trend now. Only those movies guarantees a opening
@@iftyhuq4321 marvel is giving shi t content nowadays.
Though VFX are good I liked the dr strange multiverse but it wasn't that good as 1st part.
DC is actually giving better content .
@@anubhavsays agree with you but I m talking about the current trend not good or bad content
@@Neelinmact kgf ka color grading aur cinematography international level ka tha mene aaj tak aisa color grading nhi dekha h indian movie m
In the original movie the great Tom Hanks based his characters way of talking & mannerisms on the child actor who played the younger forrest. That's what differentiates the great from the good.
Aamir Khan playing a low IQ soldier does not fit the historical context of India. Honestly, boycotting this movie because people feel it is problematic politically sounds hypocritical to me, because people are vividly talking about some films in a critical fashion, and they're just ignoring the problematic aspects of other films. Like if we're talking about the second highest grossing movie in India - KGF 2, the main lead literally keeps a woman captive against her will, isn't that problematic?
A movie outing easily costs above Rs. 1000-1500 for 2 people. Considerable amount .. specially if the product is substandard.
Better to donate it to charity... Amir suggested the same with Rs. 30 half-litre milk packets wasted during Shivratri.
@Anoushka S Yeah, we should not waste money on bad and nepotism films especially.
@Anoushka S well I have not wasted any money on pushpa,kgf bla bla. So I am fully entitled to not watch chor bazaar version of forest grump
@Anoushka S You can't undervalue an actor just because he is a star child. Majority of star-kids fail.
The ones who succeed have proven themselves.
@Anoushka S Absolutely. But, the problem is even more in bollywood without talent.
@@pune00700 south ki simping mat kiya karo be 🤣
I watched the tamil dubbed version and i don't know why, amir Khan's performance worked for me. I completely bought him as laal. I enjoyed the film, but the last 30 min people wanted to leave.
1. Case in point is Top Gun maverick-
If the movie is not extremely well packaged and entertaining it will suffer because of the expectations. If Tom Cruise would have missed the bulls eye he would be going through the same.
2. Boycott Bollywood is to be taken seriously.
3. Filmmakers have to do something about IMDb and word of mouth reviews (even from those who haven't seen the movie).
4. Popcorn is wayyy too expensive than takeout.
LSC was a good movie.
Doesn't deserve this sort of outcome.
All these reasons you have given are from the eyes of a movie critic, Jammy. All these points are technically valid too and now that I think about it reduce the rating I had given in my mind to this movie.
However, I haven't seen anyone who's seen the movie bring any of these reasons up before. I didn't notice these points while I was watching these movies & I'm pretty sure 99% of thee people wouldn't have either. I rather enjoyed the Bala part of the story & even bought that the Mujahideen soldier might get mistaken to be a Kashmiri local in the chaos of battle.
We all know why this movie failed. It's not the artistry or any of the reasons mentioned in this video. India is in a weird place right now and anyone falling on the wrong side of a certain section of people are bearing the brunt of it. Thankfully, some of part of South India still seems to be immune of this virus.
I totally empathise with your connection to the film and that’s the beauty of movies, that we can have widely different experiences with the same product. I wanted to be invested honestly but I just couldn’t get there because of the creative route taken by Aamir for his character. Each to their own of course and thank you for the well thought out comment, provided me a different perspective also
Bollywood khud ek virus hai i want brahmastra bhi fail ho tab mza aayega
Few months back when you made video about all these movies are make or break for bwood, my response according to people's attitude on social media was all gonna be flop and that's what's happening.
But still bhramastra and Adipurush can do well if bwood didn't add their desparate cringe in them.
Just watched the movie and I loved it. Especially when compared to all the shite movies bollywood regularly releases. Too all the people saying its not a good movie please tell me which movies is better then this released this year so farr.
major % is boycott nothing else. Please don't expect awakened hindus to support films which constantly insults them. Hey you never mentioned about the pooja path dialogue by that amir momu. Does that ring a bell?
I feel Brahmastra is going to be the only movie that’ll make it big this year. Still let’s hope for the best.
