Failed already?

I think audience takes and shares it with everybody with each film they watch...

I havent seen lootera, but Barfi and Kahaani-both had their entertainment value, be it any genre. and the target audience differs

and everything not zero's down to star value or else film Vicky donor without ant star power wouldn't have been super hit or kai po che this year would not have become a hit

The film is not as slow as it is made out to be. You know what's lacking though? The lack of a 'punch' ...the story although very beautifully told, is very predictable (almost like a 'been there, done that'). Maybe if the same story was told with a change of perspectives, or with a little more exploration into the darker layers of the main characters, the same plain-jane story could've become intriguing/thrilling. The impact of the movie would be greater, the creatives told it too simply that may have taken away the punch factor, making it too ordinary (even with the superb direction/acting). 

I dont think its coz of Star Power...If the movie is good Star Power does't matter...

but wasn't kahaani and barfi looked like Art films? or is it lack of star value? 

I don't know why it's not doing well. I think with such films it's hard to say whether or not the public will like them. Plus, I feel the audiences are unpredictable..they're never consistent with Lootera-like films...sometimes they click, sometimes they just don't..and you may never know why. Personally, don't find anything wrong with Lootera where I'd say it deserves the response its getting.
