TSR Bollywood Society

I'm watching HNY in the morning (Thursday). If it's as bad as it looks, and because it is 3 hours long, I'll post a very strongly-worded review on here. Watch this space

Could someone please explain to me how this article considers Bang Bang to be a flop? I was under the impression that, despite receiving mixed reviews, it made enough money to justify being called (at least) a hit. Making over 300 crore at the global BO and 200 crore domestically (not 150 as this article mentions) on a 150-crore budget is a pretty good profit margin if you ask me. Yes, it was a little underwhelming and the film wasn't quite as good as Knight And Day in terms of comedy or chemistry between the lead actors, but it's still a massive advance in the standard of Bollywood action movies. I don't believe that Bang Bang should be called a failure at the box office, does anyone else agree with me?

Final verdict is semi-hit. Will explain more if you want

Why only a semi-hit? Making 200 crore domestically and roughly 100% profit in total should justify Bang Bang being at least a super-hit. It's the 5th highest-grossing Bollywood film of all time so I don't understand why it's not a full hit.

Behold the most strongly-worded review that you'll ever see me posting on here.

HAPPY NEW YEAR is a pathetic and childish slog which is an embarrassment of the highest order for Bollywood. SRK looks like an old man with a scrawny body and digitally enhanced abdominal muscles (which do look artificial). Also, the performances around him appear to be contrived; it's as if everyone was just trying too hard. Not only that, but the story is full of ridiculous elements and, apart from 2 songs, the music is horrendous. However, the film looks good and some of the choreography and comedy is good too.

Rating: 1/5

Heard there was a dig taken at Saroj Khan in the film?

lol wow, I thought happy new year was supposed to b good

SRK stopped making good films after MNIK. What a huge waste of talent!

Happy New Year is basically fading away and is being ridiculed everywhere you look
