Movie Special days?

[Cowboy]

First day, 100th day etc etc. What's special about these days? Well, I've watched a couple of movies on 100th day, had my share of fun and shouting...but I never understood the underlying concept of the whole 50-100-150 day celebrations. I can understand the hungama of first day, but why other days? Someone help me out.

A gimmick used by producers and distributors to further con the junta to watch a movie which may actually be crap but ran cos of the 50 days, 100 days, 150 days being advertised. Its like a vicious circle

on a more serious note - the fact that the movie actually ran for as long as that is definitely a call for celebration these days. Cos if u take into account the rampant piracy these days, most movies are watched at home, hence these days 50 days, 100 days, 150 days are milestones to the movie's success on the box office!

Not all 150 day movies are successful at box office. Like you said, it's just a gimmick and in most of the cases, the only reason is to beat a rival hero's record. Samarasimha Reddy, Narasimha Naidu, Kushi, Indra, Tagore, Laxmi Narasimha...I've seen them all, some of them even multiple times (I'm not particuarly proud of it...I saw Indra 15 time in theatres), but none of them can survive 150+ days. The last few days see empty theatres. Yeah, we need some serious measures to control piracy (these words from me, who's got 200+ movies and 2 downloads ). Piracy is almost impossible to control...even with all those stupid online laws. It can't be stopped but the producers can release the CDs within 100 days and save some money that way.

I dont care about piracy.I feel those guys can never stop piracy as long as P2P servers exist because there is always some @$$013(Like Me ) who wants free stuff.



But those numbers are so irritating. They brand even flop films w/ those no.s and we clearly know its BS.They give money to theaters and they those irritating posters w/ those no.s roll out of the press.

What Qt has done with this movie is give it a lot of anime, sometimes fascinating camera angles and lots of blood (har har har) to cover up the simple fact that this movie is as empty on substance as a gay bar when Karan Johar is in town. The only reason the other QT movies were so good was simply because the characters were believable. The character of the “bride” made me wanna stick my fingers into my eyes.



Simple point here hp, there were four of them, lui who goes onto be the head of the Yakuza (god please take me away), Fox (an assassin), Madison (another assassin), Hannah (hot assassin) and Mr. Bill. And they all belong to a very elite squad of assassins. How come with all their killing expertise, their bullets, their other forms of tough love, they couldn’t take down a pregnant woman, who from all appearances didn’t put up a fight. This little screwup is responsible for the even bigger screw up which happens to be the movie itself. Finesse you say brother???? There is no “finesse” in the style of narration since its been the bread and butter of Japanese movies for a long time. So there was nothing original there either.

As for the blood and gore, it just made me roll on the floor with laughter. Neo and Agent smith fighting in the Manhattan skyline was far more believable. And the whole scene with the kid in the kitchen when uma dices the kid’s mother was just an attempt at being shocking for the sake of being shocking. It really served no cosmic purpose…. sure you might argue that this was in context to what was done to the bride.... but then if you dissect this point enough you'll see that there is no connection whatsoever... the bride was pregnant.... the kid was already their.... that's like abortion versus adoption....



And as for the handicap’s…. bad decision brother…. This movie has like the telugu dude said, as much finesse as any of the other crappy movies that you see for exactly the same angle of reasoning……

And me thinks you’re on crack for actually comparing the Godfather (sigh) to KB…… one of the main reasons as to why the Godfather was soooo good, is because the characters had a realism about them which is completely absent in a film like KB….
