Crucial Time Ahead For Bollywood In The Next Three Months; Will It Bounce Back?

Mumbai, July 31 - The Hindi film industry is at the moment going through a rough patch. Back-to-back failures of big commercial movies have put down the spirits of all the stakeholders. Day by day the audiences, who once used to watch Bollywood movies only are gradually shifting their preferences to other Indian industries as well as foreign ones. ## Movies from Hollywood and Southern states whose dubbed versions are being exhibited in the north have been successful in taking huge openings at the domestic box office which the Hindi film industry is struggling to give post the pandemic. The fact that a movie from the industry which used to dominate the entire country solely is struggling to even cross 15 crore opening is a matter of deep traumatism to the industry as a whole.## Now all the trade analysts and movie lovers have set their sights on the upcoming biggies from Bollywood to see whether the industry succeeds in putting an end to the shortage of blockbusters. One such movie is Laal Singh Chaddha which marks the return of Superstar Aamir Khan back to the big screens after a gap of nearly 4 years. ## Aamir Khan is widely known for his unique approach to marketing movies under his production house. Using the very same approach he managed to make less appealing movies like Peepli live and Delhi Belly hits. He always understands the preference of the audience better than any other contemporaries. The intensity of promotion that he does mainly depends on the scale of the movie. This is the main reason he has a tremendous track record of Successful movies himself and is often regarded globally and domestically as one of the best cinematic minds ever.## It will be a matter of deep curiosity especially owing to the adverse circumstances to see whether Aamir Khan would be successful in putting an end to the famine of hits in the Bollywood industry. Laal Singh Chaddha has an extra advantage of a holiday release. Circumstance looks pretty much favorable to touch the 20-crore opening mark and sometimes even beyond if the movie manages to gather positive reception. ## Apart from Laal Singh Chaddha, there are other strong movies like Brahmastra and Vikram Vedha, which all have immense potential written all over them and are also front runners to give oxygen to the Hindi film industry. ## Stay tuned...

Laal Singh Chaddha, Vikram Vedha And Bhaijaan Will Be A Crucial Test For Bollywood Box Office

Mumbai, July 24 - The scenario of the box office has undergone a drastic change post the pandemic. Nowadays the movies are struggling to register a double-digit opening despite intense promotions and a huge number of screens. This trend makes flops much better verdict in recent times as the majority of the movies are ending up as disasters. ## Movies like 83, Samrat Prithiviraj, Bachchan Paandey, and now Shamshera to site some examples. The main reason why movies fail to get core audiences is that it fails to create curiosity among the audiences and offer them something new. The only major success that we can pinpoint post-pandemic is Sooryavanshi, The Kashmir Files, Gangubai Kathiawadi, and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2. Now the low opening trend is a major concern for upcoming movies like Laal Singh Chaddha, Vikram Vedha, and Bhaijaan. But still, there are hopes from these movies and the fate of whom would finally answer the question of whether Bollywood is still star oriented or not. ## Opening day figures of movies majorly depend upon the star power rather than that of the content basically, and there have been instances where many average movies have managed to register huge openings before the pandemic. Some well-known examples of the above-mentioned are Salman Khan's Race 3 and Bharat also Aamir Khan's Thugs of Hindostan.## Other internal factors like music, trailer, etc also play a major role in pulling the audiences to the big screens too. Post pandemic Akshay Kumar is the only major star who has released his movies but the problem with him is that he comes on big screens every 2 months and due to this over-exposure, he is not able to pull large crowds as a superstar should have done but still in 2022 he has managed to register two 10+ crore opening which other stars are struggling to achieve.## But on the brighter side of things, the hopes for a revival of the box office are high as Salman Khan and Aamir Khan, the two Superstars who dominated the box office last decade are coming with big movies in the months to come.## Stay tuned...
