Hit Trailer, Flop Movie

It is said that trailers are what make or break a movie since it gives the audience an insight into the film as well as the option to choose whether they want to see it or not. But these days, more and more films have amazing trailers that captivate the audience but when it comes to the movie itself, it fails to charm the viewers.

Case in point is the latest film Varna, which came with a long trailer of two minute screen time. These two minutes were action packed and filled with spectacular visual effects which led to a lot of excitement and anticipation on the audience’s side. The brilliant trailer led people to think that the movie would be just as good. Unfortunately, the movie was very disappointing and fell flat at the box office. Thus even though the trailer of the film was a total superhit, the film itself was a flop! We have few other recent examples which ended up in similar fate, NTR’s Ramayya Vasthavayya’s trailer was a huge hit but the movie failed to impress fans. Masala is an other example of the same.
