Its a HIT thats why. I was not expecting that with same 90s story and songs. Film like Newton managed 11 crore in 8 days while Judwaa-2 will do 50-55 crore rupees business in 3 days only.
I hate movies like Golmaal and Judwaa. No offence but I think Malayalam and Tamil industries makes much more better movies than Bollywood. They know how to appreciate good movies too. I can write an essay on it as I'm seriously into filmmaking but ..
@indianFootballFan ; What you are saying is correct. I watch movies only in theater. The issue here is that not all Indian movies are released abroad. Newton is not there in any theater outside India-atleast not in UK or USA.
By the way, there is now a charge of plagiarism against "Newton" for its uncanny similarity with Iranian Film "Secret Ballot". If this is true, Academy Awards are goin to reject India's entry. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secret_Ballot_(film)
@BrainFallINDIA ; Agreed that Bollywood is going down with flop after flop. But it is not because of Golmaal or Judwaa-they are bread and butter movies for Distributors - mass oriented which give more then 100 crore business. Reason is a generation of Directors / Producers in last 10 years which have given boring movies staying away from entertainment quotient. They are called "European Directors" - Vishal Bharadwaj, Anurag Basu, Imtiaz Ali, Dibaker Banerjee, Zoya Aktar, Anurag Kashyap. These people have caused massive losses.
