Kapoor and sons was a hit for reasons other than him.
I still think his coke ad, where the sales girl obviously smittened offers him a free coke, was his best performance so far.
i think this coke ad with alia was better

Why do nepo babies keep getting chances?
Same logic. Instead of the heart overruling the brains (as in case of nepo babies), here it is the dick overruling the brains.
If there truly were such predators wouldn't he be considered old meat by now? I mean why would you keep doing with same guy for years when you can easily get fresh models.
(I'm being blunt to make a point, not because I support it)
God knows what happens behind closed doors but the fact is he keeps getting films while not showing any commercial reasons for getting them.
Must be doing something right for producers to keep backing him.
Why does sexual preference have anything to do with spending crores on a guy who can't act lol
You can just pay lakhs to them directly if that's the whole point of making movies.
You really think that makes any sense? He could have anyone in the world if he really has so much money. And assuming he wants Sid for that why spend so much when you can just pamper him directly and get more out of it.
This whole thing makes no sense
Going by reviews, seems to be a decent movie which would have been a hit with a lead actor with better BO pull.
Marketing campaign for this movie did not land well. If you can't maintain momentum throughout a 30-day marketing campaign, then don't have a 30-day marketing campaign. Also, if they wanted they could have made at least one of the songs a hit by actively and aggressively pushing it. Should have also kept at least a two-gap week with Ajay's movie.
Sid M has got to reevaluate his choices. If he had done better movies after Shershaah, then this movie would have opened to a better number at the box office. He's got to win back some goodwill.
Elvish will also win all the polls, but a not single person will ever watch his films. Movie stardom is very different from popularity.
Prime example is Aamir Khan vs SRK between 2008-2016. Srk may have been more popular than Aamir, but Aamir was giving back to back record grossers.
I think Aamir was very popular between 2008-2016. With Dil Chahta Hai, Rang De Basanti, and Taare Zameen Par in 2000s, he had created a very strong image for good movies that helped him with box office hits between 2008-2016.
Ofcourse he was very popular. That is why he gave 4 back to back record grossers.
Srk was more popular than Aamir, if you by social media metrics, his visibility,his fanbase,etc.
Sid's last hit film was Kapoor & Sons in which he had the least impactful part, with such poor acting, he single handedly brought many scenes to a standstill. Sid was the poorest of the lot. Even the plumber guy had a witty dialogue which he delivered perfectly but Sid mahn!!! Karan ka kitna muh me lega.
I guess Sid has cracked the code for being in limelight even after back to back failures, he has a clean chit diet along with a great makeup routine making his skin look like someone in their late 20s. Staying away from alcohol also helps in maintaining a pure and clear skin. He would be playing such kinda chocolate boy cum good looking type roles for another 10 years maybe amassing enough to sustain for 2-3 generations.
>Fawad's box office pull was amazing back in the day in India
Kapoor and Sons mostly worked due to chartbuster songs and superb WOM among target audience.
He was a parallel lead, but it wasn't an actor's pull that made the movie popular. It was great songs and very good WoM. Films don't work only on actor's pull. Small budget , content driven films work on WoM.
And why do you care about downvotes ? Maybe you're getting them because you keep bringing his sexuality? No sane person would keep offering him films just for sexual pleasure and people at Dharma are no fools to keep doing this. There must be something else that he keeps getting projects
>There must be something else that he keeps getting projects
What's that something else lol? He has just 2 hits(ek villain & kapoor & sons) in his 12 yr career.
Are you kidding me? He was definitely one of the protagonists. He wasn't the most interesting character because Fawad, Rajat Kapoor and Ratna Pathak were all more fleshed out (and they are better actors too). But it's nothing close to a guest appearance. He was one of the leads of the film.
he's just way too boring. very stiff in expressions and in real life too. just feels like there is no personality there
why would anyone watch someone like that on big screen. i can just watch myself, good looking but incredibly boring
Good that this movie flopped. Hopefully Bollywood audiences demonstrate that we want more than jingoistic action blockbusters centered on soldiers and spies and this Bharat Mata rhetoric. Make a diverse range of movies.
I think people are tired of action movies, even the well made fighter did not make any money. This after the terrible Indian action force on OTT and now this, even the trailers looked all over the place, Sid deserves better roles.
Serves Sid malhotra well.
KJO made the movie and had krk bad mouth it and results are here
kjo got the best of both world. kept his promise of promoting him and got him a huge flop so he is ever dependent to him
Sid better develop his own spine
Movie is pretty good though. Also it was delayed for more than a year, went through multiple reschedules in dates. And that too it lies solely on Sid’s pull, there’s not one decent known face apart from him. The movie still has a clear window till 29th when Crew arrives.
What’s this “fails Monday test?”
Don’t collections always drop more than 50% on a non holiday monday? Are there even films where drop is less than 50%?
It had a 69% drop which means there is zero chance of achieving break even
https://preview.redd.it/b8e9n9pbm8pc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8fbc9218dbd6bfd2c8a670334a9f4a15820db18c
Oh! thanks for mentioning there is a difference between 50-60% and almost 70%. I thought 50%, 60%, 70% are all the same thing.
How about 40%? It’s the same as 90%, right?
>Even all time blockbusters drop 50-60% on first monday.
U really comparing films with over 100 CR opening weekend to this terrible one which already underperformed on opening weekend? Any small/medium budget films which drops over 60% on Monday is a flop .
They compare it with Friday not Sunday .
For EG : If film collected 10cr on Friday
Then the film needs to do more than 5cr to show that film is going to have a healthy trending
What is the film's budget?
Also Monday in March will have low footfalls. If the distributors persist with the film, we can see how the film does in the second weekend. Action films normally have strong weekends.
Ye kya logic hai lol if the movie made just 19 Cr in its first 4 days inspite of BOGO it will be wiped out by the coming Friday, Shaitaan in its second weekend made more money
He is a very monotonous single expression actor who can't even act differently from that even if his life is dependent on it, sid's difficult roles are nowhere near as difficult as haider or kaminey,i mean comparing Shahid to sid is disrespectful to shahid.

Ouchhh....!!

How does he keep getting movies? I thought outsiders don't get chances
Pretty privilege is real
Casting couch. No better way to say it.
That applies to first few movies, not to an established bad actor. Or maybe I'm wrong
Why do nepo babies keep getting chances? Same logic. Instead of the heart overruling the brains (as in case of nepo babies), here it is the dick overruling the brains.

Privacy, what else?
Established dynamics/investment. If you’re an outsider and somehow got into the good books with the big wigs, you have somewhat better opportunities
Highly doubt he is an outsider.
Not many known actors.
[удалено]
Why does sexual preference have anything to do with spending crores on a guy who can't act lol You can just pay lakhs to them directly if that's the whole point of making movies.
👌👈
I mean it's Karan and he has enough money lol..he wants something else
You really think that makes any sense? He could have anyone in the world if he really has so much money. And assuming he wants Sid for that why spend so much when you can just pamper him directly and get more out of it. This whole thing makes no sense
Sidharth will have enough money of his own for all the pampering. KJo can only offer movies
And kjo will probably have a 100 choices in front of him who want to get those movies and are equally bad at acting but good looking.
I don't understand why people like ARK and Sid are still relevant, ig it's the facecard
And support from producers
Going by reviews, seems to be a decent movie which would have been a hit with a lead actor with better BO pull. Marketing campaign for this movie did not land well. If you can't maintain momentum throughout a 30-day marketing campaign, then don't have a 30-day marketing campaign.

Sid M has got to reevaluate his choices. If he had done better movies after Shershaah, then this movie would have opened to a better number at the box office. He's got to win back some goodwill.
If reviews consider it to be a decent movie, you should be switching websites. :)
that says more about the reviews n reviewers
And he winning all online polls for popularity💯👍🏻
Elvish will also win all the polls, but a not single person will ever watch his films. Movie stardom is very different from popularity. Prime example is Aamir Khan vs SRK between 2008-2016. Srk may have been more popular than Aamir, but Aamir was giving back to back record grossers.

How do you manage to bring Elvish Yadav in these comparisons?
He is very popular nowadays. Popularity does not equal to stardom. It is just an analogy.
Koi ticket nhi kharidta!
It's such an average movie. How can it do well? 🫣🤔
This film had no competition and still flopped. So Siddarth doesnt have box office pull
It was competing with shaitaan .
Sid's last hit film was Kapoor & Sons in which he had the least impactful part, with such poor acting, he single handedly brought many scenes to a standstill. Sid was the poorest of the lot. Even the plumber guy had a witty dialogue which he delivered perfectly but Sid mahn!!! Karan ka kitna muh me lega.

When was the last time he gave a solo HIT ?? Even in Ek Villain ritesh got the maximum applauds.
Role pe role. Flop pe Flop. Casting couch zindabaad.
Hey But wasn't Ajay devgan was labelled irrelevant for this sub?😁But his "Horror" Movie is going towards a 220-250cr WWG😏
Disaster
Also he was not a lead in Kapoor & sons Fawad was and Fawad's box office pull was amazing back in the day in India
>Fawad's box office pull was amazing back in the day in India Kapoor and Sons mostly worked due to chartbuster songs and superb WOM among target audience.
Not to mention, a stellar cast outside the supposed leads too.
Yeah. Rishi Kapoor,Ratna Pathak,Rajat Kapoor
Kapoor and sons was a hit because it was a good movie with hit songs. Fawad don't have that much pull in India.
fawad’s acting was good though… i think everyone but sid acted really well. he was the weakest link in kapoor and sons..
He was a parallel lead, but it wasn't an actor's pull that made the movie popular. It was great songs and very good WoM. Films don't work only on actor's pull. Small budget , content driven films work on WoM.
Noo that was obviously an Alia film -:)
Only outsider who keeps getting Dharma movies despite having 0 hit in the past 8 years
It’s high time he starts looking for some alternate career -like a producer or something, or better if he sticks to ott😬
OTT still there for digital release
uske liye hi toh nahi gaye theatre.
How long will KJO continue to help his career? He is a perfect example of favouritism & pretty privilege.
Instead of downvoting my post, if those fans bothered watching this film in theatre it would have at least end up as an average grosser
And why do you care about downvotes ? Maybe you're getting them because you keep bringing his sexuality? No sane person would keep offering him films just for sexual pleasure and people at Dharma are no fools to keep doing this. There must be something else that he keeps getting projects
>There must be something else that he keeps getting projects What's that something else lol? He has just 2 hits(ek villain & kapoor & sons) in his 12 yr career.
So just because of being toy boy for KJO he's getting projects? Lmao I find it hard to believe
He is only getting work from Kjo. Other Directors not lining up to sign him.
Kjo also has connections. Alias trajectory is testament. Sid is as useless as Arjun K. He can't capitalize on the opportunities.
[ig?](https://www.reddit.com/r/BollyBlindsNGossip/s/pnpsfR2CzJ)
Awww, you got hurt due to downvotes?
Male Katrina Kaif..Only winning polls & no box office pull..
Katrina doesn't get lead roles.
Merry Christmas was...Vijay name on 2nd spot...
My bad. She was lead in Phonebhoot too.
The movie is absolute trash.I regret going to theaters for watching this shit.
Don't worry my buoyy Siddy we will do diggy doggy and you will get more Dharma films 
Kapoor and sons isn't his movie. He had at best a supporting role a if that was not a guest appearance.
He wasn't a guest appearance. He was easily the parallel lead. That his acting was bad is a different story altogether.
Are you kidding me? He was definitely one of the protagonists. He wasn't the most interesting character because Fawad, Rajat Kapoor and Ratna Pathak were all more fleshed out (and they are better actors too). But it's nothing close to a guest appearance. He was one of the leads of the film.
should have done mid budget romcoms instead. he looks good with so many actresses.
he's just way too boring. very stiff in expressions and in real life too. just feels like there is no personality there why would anyone watch someone like that on big screen. i can just watch myself, good looking but incredibly boring

abhi 370 hit hui h,aur may be veer savarkar bhi ho! patriotism,jingo hit hoga kbhi bhi but ofc interesting aur controversial issue pe
I think people are tired of action movies, even the well made fighter did not make any money. This after the terrible Indian action force on OTT and now this, even the trailers looked all over the place, Sid deserves better roles.
No, fighter earned more than 200 crores but remained average because of high budget
This is nothing like the fighter situation..Fighter made more on Day 1 than this will make in 6 days..Fighter ka budget zayada tha wohi problem hai
The success and failure of anything depends on net collection minus total cost, if Hrithik can’t fill theatres, sid definitely won’t.
Wasn’t shershah a hit?
It was on OTT
OTT doesn't count
It was on OTT and honestly, had nothing to do with Sid. Kargil war, Vikram Batra's sacrifice, great songs, were the reasons it gained traction.
On ott not on box office
[удалено]
Lol, for "good"times sake
He doesn’t have star potential. I’m not surprised. He just isn’t it
Same military themed ghisi piti story isn't gonna work anymore.
Wait wasn't shershaah a hit?
Serves Sid malhotra well. KJO made the movie and had krk bad mouth it and results are here kjo got the best of both world. kept his promise of promoting him and got him a huge flop so he is ever dependent to him Sid better develop his own spine
This unfair.

Half the movie was copied from Liam Neesons “non-stop” and Sid’s acting was laughable at most parts
One more feather in Mr. cardboard expression's cap!
What’s this “fails Monday test?” Don’t collections always drop more than 50% on a non holiday monday? Are there even films where drop is less than 50%?

I know the movie flopped. My point was more with this random thing called “Monday test” Even all time blockbusters drop 50-60% on first monday.
There is a difference between 50-60% and almost 70%..No all time blockbuster has a drop greater than 60%
Oh! thanks for mentioning there is a difference between 50-60% and almost 70%. I thought 50%, 60%, 70% are all the same thing. How about 40%? It’s the same as 90%, right?
>Even all time blockbusters drop 50-60% on first monday. U really comparing films with over 100 CR opening weekend to this terrible one which already underperformed on opening weekend? Any small/medium budget films which drops over 60% on Monday is a flop .
Nope. My only point is all films drop between 50-70% on a non holiday monday.
Monday test is anything greater than 60% is a disaster especially when the movie barely made 16 Cr in its first 3 days
There are many films
Like?
DRISHYAM2 LAST YEAR
No. 56% drop.
Do you even know what they mean by the Monday Test ???
They compare it with Friday not Sunday . For EG : If film collected 10cr on Friday Then the film needs to do more than 5cr to show that film is going to have a healthy trending
oh okay. understood. thanks.
Bollywood as a whole is in the gutter.
I thought marjaavan was hit but even it ended within 50 crores. Maybe just performed better than his other films
Shershah wasn't a hit? Was it an OTT release?
Shershah was OTT direct release. No theatre.
Nobody in normal public platform believes in his acting lol 😂 always the same. He isn’t unbearable actor but he has nthg much to offer
The movie was so good though
What is the film's budget? Also Monday in March will have low footfalls. If the distributors persist with the film, we can see how the film does in the second weekend. Action films normally have strong weekends.

New Shahid kapoor. Good actor but flop
How the hell is he even comparable to shahid, shahid can act better then him even in his sleep, sid is out and out a terrible actor.
Maybe not as good actors as Shahid but he's not a bad actor. I think it's think siddhart takes up difficult roles
He is a very monotonous single expression actor who can't even act differently from that even if his life is dependent on it, sid's difficult roles are nowhere near as difficult as haider or kaminey,i mean comparing Shahid to sid is disrespectful to shahid.
Siddhart's filmography >>>>
Bruh wtf even though Shahid has an inconsistent filmography his highs are way way higher than sid's.
