The stock of PVR Inox has fallen by over 7% in contrast to the reported ‘Blockbuster’ successes of ‘Singham Again’ and ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’, sparking a debate among fans and investors alike.
Many people are puzzled by this discrepancy, as SIngham Again had managed to secure a 60% sharing deal in multiplexes, largely due to PVR Inox being its distributor.
A wide range of speculations has erupted on this matter, with people blaming corporate bookings and falsified success stories as the reason for this decline.
The public refuses to believe the success claims, calling them out as another market ploy to impart false confidence and artificially boost sales.
‘Singham Again’ is also receiving its share of criticism for hoarding 60% of the multiplex screens, limiting the exposure of BB3.
Questions are being raised about the ‘blockbuster’ label given to these films by their producers, with people calling it nothing more than a blatant lie to mislead people about the true potential of these releases.
The seed of doubt can be found in the comments made by social media users. One user wrote, “All this hype, but PVR’s stock keeps tanking. Are these box office numbers even real?”.
Another questioned the integrity of the producers by commenting, “Bollywood producers can declare success, but investors seem unconvinced. Something doesn’t add up.”
This lack of transparency is something that needs to be fixed as soon as possible so that the public and the critics can put their trust back in the institution of cinema.
