10 Biggest Indian Movie Disasters Of 2023

[@ronaksurana3599]

Honesty, Akhil was my classmate in school, and he was so damn good at cricket. People who've seen him play in Celebrity premier league know that for a fact. Me and all my friends at that time thought he would get into professional cricket instead of joining his family in acting biz. Sadly, he didn't. What we got is a mediocre actor instead of a brilliant cricketer. I wished people chose their professions based on their talent and passion rather than following their family's footsteps.

I was the Official Photographer at CCL. And honestly telling Akhil plays some good cricket 🙌

i was akhil's collegemate btw. Don't worry, he's a nepo star. Just like any other nepo star he can dance and maintains his body with steroids. That's enough to be an indian superstar. He'll get a lot of chances to make a hit. There are too many indian superstars who can't act for shi... He'll be fine.

The presence of OTT platforms is one of the biggest reasons for so many disasters and flops. Because now we have a choice that ohh this movie we'll watch on OTT. One can simply skip watching a movie on the big screen because we know that the movie will be available on OTT within a month. So now, we only want to experience spectacles like Pathaan, RRR and KGF Chapter 2 in theatres.

And 20 years back it was camera prints and in the next 20 years it will be something else. You can't blame ott for everything. If a movie is good, people are going to watch in the theaters.

[@simranwilasra2196]

I think one thing that often gets ignored in this conversation is the fact that post pandemic inflation has hit a lot of people very hard. They don't have the disposable income to watch any vaguely interesting film, and would much rather save up that money for a good, escapist experience every once in a while. Like the same is happening in Hollywood too - only big "event' films are working there, and mid-budget movies are not pulling in collections and consequently not being made too (or only being made for streaming). All industries, and therefore film industries, go through these peaks and troughs. for whatever reason. It will probably recover in time, but these downturns in the film world have also led to great innovation, and technological changes to try to bring more people to the theatres. Hopefully this is finally the wakeup call to Bollywood to actually start nurturing good writing talent instead of getting Farhad Samji on every other project. That would honestly be innovation enough for them lot.

[@indianfoodie9403]

@Simran Wilasra Very true! Also, during the pandemic even the middle aged and older generation have become accustomed to catching up on entertainment on their mobiles. So a movie that doesn't really require a big screen to experience it in its totality will, more often than not, be watched at home

[@rajeshsundararajan1008]

I think the cost of a movie outing has become so high.. 200 + convenience fee for ticket and 200 minimum for snack, + the outrageous parking fee levied by the malls. That means i need 500₹ for a solo movie outing. Now i consider whether the particular movie is worth 500₹ rather than just the ticket cost which itself is higher. So, I'd gladly wait for the movie's ott release. This is a chain reaction. Heroes have increased their fee by humongous numbers, and thus producers are left with no choice but to sell the movie for greater price, and the multiplex chains charge heavily to recover their purchase cost. Add poor script to the mix and it is destined to fail. Good or above average movies get a second life in ott. But anything average or below are washed out. If the tier 1 stars from all the industries become considerate of the situation and a step is taken to bring down the theatre experience costs, many movies can survive this harsh phase. A mere 30 to 40₹ reduction in ticket prices can work wonders i believe.

It is such an interesting scenario. The fan following of some stars like Balayya will still continue to make projects HITS but the newer stars with a similar tonality will get outright rejected. I guess it will make actors who have not established themselves, try harder, seek for better stories: that's always a good welcome change!

[@OGAkkian]

Waltair veerayya was watchable due to the 2nd half, especially when ravi teja character enters and had shared a great bond with chiru. While, I agree veera simha reddy was utter trash😂, those two movies mainly worked due to Sankranti festive seasons (although veera simha reddy faced a huge drop on it's 2nd day itself), where audiences pay money for such masala films. It's not restricted to only telugu audiences, but across the same in other state too! Especially recently released kkbkkj. The opening was too low, but later took a huge jump on EID weekend. Later, it again faced a huge drop and this time the festival season couldn't save a salman's film unlike other films used to! While, such films never work if they get in normal weekdays.

In my personal opinion a lot can be said about the writing disaster that the movie business has become lately and the fact that a lot of movies are being made as a package cluster of deals and tie-ups that seem all the more obvious and flabbergasting over time. If you look at regional content from Gujarat like Kevi Ritey Jaish or Chaal Jeevi Laiye they tried to do something undone previously and had the perfect casting, writing, moments, novelty and a technicality to them which compelled the audiences into walking in and having a great time. The latest one being “Vash” which i heard is also being remade in Hindi. I used these references from the Gujarati film industry is because there are a lot of duds and similar projects in Gujarati films too that try to emulate the success or formula of the aforementioned 3 path breaking ones but thats how film business has been working of late. Rajkumar Hirani was the last great storyteller who managed to shock the hindi film market and latest good film that i truly had fun watching was probably Chhicchorey that was an out and out entertainer. Baaki sab abhi sirf chal raha hain. OTT is also getting boring and monotonous and people can easily spend their time watching reruns of favorite shows or good films and series if they dont feel entertained enough with the content that is being shoved up their throats along with 700 rupee popcorn and cold drinks just because you have managed to trap them in a dark room full of strangers by showing them the promise of a good 150 to 200 mins of entertainment at the rate if 3 rs per minute.

Listen i LOVE Samantha but she was completely miscast as Shakuntala.... She just doesn't have that "old time" charm she's very modern and urban, she kills it as a girl next door and an action hero but not a mythical queen

[@Sun.Shine-]

Oh man, i also thought the same. Dev was great casting, but Sam as a teenager in the vedic period was such a drawl. My fav part is everything was CGI and questionable props and animalistic behaviours 😂✌️

[@ANU3NAY6]

[@somnathchakravarty3658]

Things have changed post pendamic a lot specially due to the rise of the OTTs. Morever, some content are extremely good in the streaming platforms that the audience prefer skipping the theatres for a mediocre film .Aslo the streaming is available in super high resolution of 4Ks and 8Ks. So, if the film is not appealing enough then its a sad ending for it at the box-office.

Having arjun kapur lead your film is guarantee that your moive will fail, such is the confidence of audience of his performance. He must do multiple good TV series to overhaul his image

[@greeshmithak8861]

a small film like balagam had a massive success in telugu speaking areas and had audience coming to theatres. everyone is now exposed to very good content online that they only want to spend a penny if everything about the film is exceptional. i do also think everyone is tired of watching some actors like akhil nd akshay repeatedly only work on scripts that are worse than mediocre.

Kabzaa and Chatrpathi sould be added to the list. The former being a KGF clone and the latter being so awkward and outdated it should have been released in 2008 with Salman/Shahid/Hrithik and Shriya Saran instead of Telugu Actors and Directors doing Hindi films. It didn't work with Liger and it didn't work here.

[@filmyfreak124]

All is result of Style over substance...just take the example of Balagam, movie made with less than 2cr collected more than 25 cr which is more than surprisingly Agent (made on 80cr budget) & Shakuntalam (made on 60cr). This proves Makers should concentrate on scripts even more

2023 is the year when the content available is far more than the available time.

In addition to that audience has become more woke and knows how to decide what is blatant a cash grab vs a genuine attempt.

[@rohanprakash1087]

It is a mix of OTT and lack of creativity from the movie makers... The malayalam films are basically made for OTT with the slow narration, serious tone nowadays as they feel they can earn more there.. It is hard to sit through most of the malayalam film nowadays in theaters coz most of us come to theaters to have an experience that will make u forget your daily life problems for a couple of hours wherein those issues are the ones discussed in the films and in such a slow pace... The other languages films are either trying to bank on human emotions rather than logic in the films and also tries to showcase themselves as pan india by doing mass masala just because KGF worked with that formula

[@sijodavid9965]

Malayalam industry is going through a really bad phase. A lot of small budget movies with simple storyline became hit during pandamic. This led to a series of similar films who were just trying to capatalise on it but didn't had the same conviction on their project. You can understand by the name of movies that not much thought have gone on these projects

[@dmarkhunter]

Most movies on this list are made out of a template, unnecessary spending in the name of a big experience. The core of any movie still holds in good writing, and only then can be translated into a good film, all the action set pieces can only enhance the base material. I don't know how long can star presence play a huge role looking at the audience getting mature over time.

[@TriedRefusedProductions]

Some global analysts have said though, one of the major reasons why the indian theatrical market is still somewhat thriving or making money is because of the star system. Industries in north america, latin america and Korea have taken a huge blow because of it being not as prevalent and loyal like in India.

[@rakvi5437]

I went to watch Bhool bhulaiyaa 2 with my family in theatre. We rarely go out to watch movies. Tickets plus popcorn, coffee, coldrink etc.etc. for four people in a PVR is a substantial amount of money to spend in one day, atleast by my financial standard. In return, what do we get a mediocre movie with lazy comedy writing, horrible acting and just a banal script. God bless Tabu as she was the only saving grace. I will think atleast ten times now before spending my money on another junk piece.

Telugu cinema is doing very good they are rejecting mediocre content even with big budgets like agent and shakuntala but encouraging good films like balagam and virupaksha even if they are young actors . No matter wat ppl say id say telugu cinema is the perfect mix of everything. From commercial to content every type of audience gets wat they want. The star power ofc is always there. Hopefully tier 1 actors will get to explore more outside the formula in the future.

[@TriedRefusedProductions]

If Tier 1 actors really go beyond the generic massy films : it will be such a welcome change! Glad that the telugu audience is rejecting poor films otherwise tho

[@SrikarChahasti]

Yes, Dhamaka collected 100 crores. The movie is a true example of what can be accomplished when talented filmmakers are given the freedom to explore the boundaries of storytelling.

[@joickloverforever]

@@TriedRefusedProductions agree Really wish tier one actors can go beyond the masala formula too one day 🤞 and audience accept them without getting caught up in thier "image" .

[@revanth84]

True! Also Telugu market is most welcoming to new content. I was shocked by the numbers Avatar 2 minted in Telugu states around 60+crores. I feel Telugu audience palette is more diverse and in near future hope Telugu industry will come up with more International content consistently. Waiting for the biggie #ProjectK and how it will change Indian Sci Fi market. Also Telugu industry right now has a lot of new young filmmakers which will be a huge asset if they get Tier 1 stars to try new concepts.

​​​​@@SrikarChahasti u say dhamaka a storytelling cinema...seriously dude, a movie with pure mass songs and regular fights and comedy scenes, a masala entertainer u calling it storytelling cinema, people came by listening to songs and Sri Leela dance performances, I would call dhamaka is making Telugu audience more habituated to entertaining cinema, and raviteja never leaves comedy, fights, who does routine same kinda movies....storytelling cinema is balagam, dasara, I would say Telugu cinema is last in doing more storytelling cinema they do but less...look at waltair veerayya..is it a storytelling cinema a regular cinema...and veerasimhareddy they will never understand what cinema is....ubsay it storytelling it's mix but definitely more of regular less of storytelling...I wall say a movie USTAAD not Pawan kalyan movie...balagam actress and keeravani son Sri simha go watch teaser....I will see will Telugu audience make a storytelling cinema hit or not ...

[@trideepgogoi8205]

I am from a small town. When we were in colleges like in 2015, we didn't have smartphones at that time. We used to go to theatres for entertainment. We even didn't watch trailers at that time before watching a movie. At that time source of entertainments were very limited. Either we have to download 3gp quality movies from downloading centre at 10 rupees or we can directly go to theatres and watch the movies at rupees 30 or 40 at that time. But after the introduction of 4G network at cheaper price in India, gradually the source of entertainment increases. Now we can access numerous movies, short films, web series etc at anytime anywhere also at cheaper price. Instead of managing our time according to theatre times, we can watch movies according to our time table. So the frequency of going theatres decreases in small towns like us.

[@loverebel6632]

my college life was from 1999-2003 ,& there was some good theatres there ,we even had cd & dvd at that time but not so popular , so we used to go theatres every week its cost was hardly rs5 - rs 6 & 2 rs tea cup with 2 rs samosa , in bharuch ,gujarat, those great old days , not like today so costly where one time meal is rs 100 ,

[@faiyazabdullah9485]

Kbkj although couldn't rake a lot of money, but due to the selling of certain movie rights the movie already recovered the costs. So every penny from theatre was actually a profit

I don't know about that but the box office run of that film solely rests on Salman's shoulders. As Taran Adarsh rightly said, remove Salman from the equation and the film falls like a pack of cards!
