There has been a huge debate about corporate bookings in the film industry, and the controversy is still ongoing. Meanwhile, it looks like another big production house has carried out a massive corporate booking scheme for an upcoming movie.
A film critic posted a concerning update today on social media, claiming that a movie had 22,000 ‘interested’ users on BookMyShow recently, but within a short span, the number suddenly jumped to 43,000. This unnatural spike can only be explained by corporate bookings.
Netizens are pointing out that the movie in question is none other than Kesari 2. The film had 22,000 interested users, and today, it suddenly shows over 40,000 in just 30 minutes. While we can’t confirm if it is Kesari 2 or not.
The movie already has been promoted well—the teaser has been well received, and the lead cast of Akshay and Madhavan is also trying to generate buzz. Fans feel the makers should allow the film to build organic hype and see how it performs naturally.
This trend has left fans disappointed, and people are starting to lose trust in these numbers.
However, Kesari 2 needs to create genuine buzz. The opening of the film might not touch 10-crore mark going by the initial hype. Fans already say that makers might resort to offers, corporate bookings and self-bookings like in the case of Akshay’s last film Sky Force to build positive perception among the audience. But audience now has become smart.
