What’s the reason for the slow start of Judgementall Hai Kya and Arjun Patiala this week?
– The trailers of both the films had not found universal acceptance. The trailer of JUDGEMENTALL HAI KYA was too bizarre for people’s liking. The public generally does not go to watch a bizarre film immediately; people wait for the reports to emerge. As for ARJUN PATIALA, the trailer gave away the fact that it was a spoof. People in India are not fans of spoofs.
Has the tax exemption of Super 30 in various states helped its box-office performance?
– Only marginally, because the tax exemption is only of SGST in each state, not the CGST component. Frankly, the central government should exempt CGST on the film all over India.
Why do we refer to cinema of the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s as the golden era of cinema?
– It’s human nature to praise the past while looking down upon the present. That could be one reason. The other reason could be because some landmark films like MOTHER INDIA and MUGHAL-E-AZAM were made during this period.
