It's been 5 years since the Godzilla vs. Kong trailer was released, and I still haven't seen a better trailer in the entire MonsterVerse. This was literally PEAK! π₯
#Ramayana crosses $100m (Rs 940cr) worldwide as we speak!!
Marching towards $200m (Rs 1880cr).
New Indian movie records in almost all international markets loading (1st phase).
A monumental achievement which shall likely only be topped by the sequel to Ramayana, releasing in Diwali 2028.
Rs 750+ crore in global theatrical share after commission (expected).
Rs 75cr music (assumed)
Rs 50cr Satellite (assumed)
Rs 350cr Digital (assumed)
Rs 10cr PPV (assumed)
Recoveries - Rs 1250crΒ± [& recurring syndication revenue based on the deal]
Film won't be breaking even for producers despite emerging very very profitable to exhibitors and distributors. Ignoring the recoveries scenario, here's what Ramayana has done:-
- It has managed to create an excellent perception for itself. The audience has ignored the film's financials for now and has instead chosen to stress more on its cinematic achievement. Comfortably emerging as the 'most watched' film of the week. Also emerging as the most discussed film of the week across platforms. Critically acclaimed & highly rated also by general audiences.
- From practically nowhere, Namit Malhotra has become one of the greatest showmen of Indian cinema. He deserves kudos for taking the punt that no one had the courage to take.
- Nitesh Tiwari has solidified his position as the Jim Cameron of India. With Ramayana Part 2 in 2028, top 3 highest grossing Indian films will most likely be his directorials.
- Ranbir Kapoor & Yash have got career defining film(s). Both have established themselves as actors with pan-India appeal, who can shoulder mega-budget films. Importantly, they partner on films so producers don't really have to look into the remunerations aspect. Sai Pallavi has caught ppl's attention & if her performance is defining in part 2, things can get interesting for her.
- Next part shall end up atleast Rs 500cr higher than the 1st part globally, making it the highest grossing Indian franchise. I feel there'll be a part 3 too.. but let's see.
It was childish nonsense, confused about the target audience and paying public. You can't make movies for kids in India, your core audience will always be adults.
Kids audience are included in family audience and family movies can't have so many idiotic double meaning jokes.
In my tweet show me one line where i say that it was a great movie. I know it failed because it wasn't good enough, that doesn't take away the fact that it affects the psyche.
Even if you accept that it was bad, not easy to go -let's go one more time, we'll improve it bla bla.
Shahrukh ke fans Ra One ke bare me aise baat karte he jaise Guide aur Kagaz ke phool level ka movie flop ho gaya
Anubhav Sinha made Dus, Aapko bhi pehle kahi dekha hai before making that movie
I'm not going to shield him from the blame, but understand how failures like Ra One, Zero can affect your psyche and make you more risk averse.
A JHMS, Dilwale failing is fine, he can walk it off, But when you see failure like Ra One & Zero. It kills some ambition inside you.
Most successful movie of Monsterverse, highest grossing Godzilla movie ever.
Most new doing something right to entice audience. Monsterverse is thriving as we know it.
Taker being an All Time Great is not upto debate. Your problems are meaningless.
Even in those early years you slander, he was one of the most memorable and stand out personality on the roster.
That's why he endured the trenches, anyone else and it was game over for them.
Taker has a pretty fun mid 00's to early '10s run in him, my problem with how this is discussed is that people use it to justify his deeply unearned reputation as an all time great when really he spent most of his career painfully average, occasionally a total shitter.
Ramayana is the biggest expose of Ranbir Kapoor as both actor and star.
Hot outperformed by Yash, who his fans were trolling for Toxic & KGF plus Movie opened to dismal numbers, and whatever it will do now is due to it being Ramayana & WOM.
Everyone liked Ranbir Kapoor (a good actor, had a lot of potential with decent audience pull) till his PR started to shove him as the next Al Pacino as an actor and Tom Cruise as a moviestar down our throats.
Critical Drinker is just a symptom of overly pretentious "Movie Criticism" era going on currently which have branded anything light or fun as "for kids", "goofy", "lacking artistic merit", so that they can gain relevance from Cinemasins generation of social media discourse.
>watch Critical Drinker's Minus Zero review
>whole opening of it is spent shitting on the franchise and ridiculing the Monsterverse
>implies the franchise "finally revitalized itself" with Minus One
>it's been on a comeback for 12 years now
This has been almost every single western review for the film at this point.
Industry Plant
Even Ranveer Singh who was giving 3 crs Opening Post Pandemic got a Bumper & Record Opener.
This goof gets best projects, biggest directors and nothing to show for in 20 years.
Every time I get excited & feel positive about King I remember Suhana is in it
Not that I hate her but those who have watched Archies know how unbearable she can be
Still I hope she proves people like me wrong delivers a decent performance and makes us her fans
Cinema history is filled with monumental movies which people thought no future movies can match and yet cinema continued forward. Infact Iconic movies act as inspiration for future movies and filmmakers.
Dhurandhar "fans", really need some cinema history lessons.
Yeh braham bhi tootega. Pathaan ke baad fans thought only SRK films will work, Gadar 2 came. Animal ke baad everyone thought only hypermasculine films will work, Stree 2 came. After Pushpa 2 everyone thought BW is over, Dhurandhar came. Kal koi aur chalegi.
