Welcome to the topic of the week where we can discuss a popular topic on the forum at the moment.
 
Some rules:
 
1.No bashing actors if you have to make a point make it without bashing.
2.No chatting off topic
3.No arguements if you disagree with something you can say it without turning it into a fight.
 
NOTE: If anyone else wants to do the TOTW or has a Topic they would like to discuss feel free to PM me
 
Topic of the week this week:
 
What makes a film work?
 
Some thoughts rather than questions:
 
Is it the story, entertainment factor or is it the actor?...What do you think makes a film work.
 
If its the story well what attracts the people to the theatres ...also if people go because of that and do not like the film it will still be classed as a hit right or really good showing.
 
For eg..if someone goes too see a srk film first weekend it might be blockbuster opening and still do well. However does that make it classic or a hit?
 
These are just broad questions/thoughts as usual add anything else you would like to 😳😳😳

Very strong screenplay with strong acting. The story does not matter. Its all in how it is told and how it is acted out.

the message if there is no good message then there is no use of wasting your time on a movie heroes and a lot of aamir khans movie ran well because of the moral behind it i f heroes had no message behind it would be a flop instead of a average.

I wouldn't say screenplay because many films from arthouse have better script but no one bothers to watch them in theatre.

For a movie to work
 
1. Good promotion
 
2. Good banner -- People already plan to watch the film even before the film goes on the floor. Like My name is Khan.
 
3. Good starcast---Film with major stars forces people to flock theatre initially.
 
4. Good script --- If after all this script is good then word of mouth and films works.
 
5. Knowing high points of your film and promoting that on reality shows like Deepika did for OSO. For RNBDJ SRK didn't bother to bring Anushka out as she didn't have the charisma to pull the crowd whereas Deepika had that and played a major part in bringing crowd.
