Star Value: Anushka Sharma has become a famous actor courtesy films like Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, Badmaash Company, Band Baaja Baaraat, etc. Ranveer Singh is just one film old but despite that has become a known face. This is due to his performance in BBB, chemistry and off-screen link-up with Anushka. And since their jodi is returning in Ladies VS Ricky Bahl, the film has gained star value.
Hype: The usual hype which is associated with a Yash Raj Film is missing this time. The promotion of the movie was overshadowed by Vidya Balan who went all out promoting The Dirty Picture. But then, even BBB hadn’t created a great hype yet the film picked up slowly after its release.
Music: Songs ‘Aadat Se Majboor’ is being liked by youngsters. Even ‘Thug Le’ is slowly becoming popular. Since two popular songs are enough these days, we can say the music of the movie is a hit.
Prediction: Ladies VS Ricky Bahl won’t take the box-office by storm, that’s for sure. It will rely heavily on the initial positive reports and positive word-of-mouth, else it will suffer.

Agree with you.
Here ‘content’ is king. It needs to be interesting & captivating. Similar to BBB, it would require good publicity by word of mouth

Hmm yes!

Very true Keyur. Now people dont go for movies just by looking the banner
Keyur Seta says
Yes, that is true.
But the sad part is that people do get carried away by the hype and go for the movies but later curse that film. Due to this, crap movies like Bodyguard and Ra.One become one of the biggest hits but yet fail to satisfy majority of the viewers.
And thanks for the comment Himu 🙂
