....what is wrong with our directors/script writers.
Safety Not Guaranteed:
9/10. Fabulous, and loved it.

There's nothing wrong in this because these filmmakers are playing a high-risk, high-rewarding game. It's kind of similar to insider trading, which is illegal and worth jail-time. Which is what these filmmakers deserve.
The strategy -
1. Original Story/Idea/Concept is optional.
2. Get big stars, big sets, big music director, fancy costumes, promote the hell out of it (adverts, radio, TV, billboards, interviews)
3. Finally release it at a higher price to all distributors which translates to pricier movie tickets for us.
4. Sell music rights, TV rights at exhorbitant prices.
The most important part - Do all this before people realise your film is a steaming pile of $h1t. Earn all your money (and more) in the first weekend. Dhoom 2 had earned 57 crores in the first weekened and not even 1/10th in the following weekend IIRC. Same is with Dabbang, Ready, Singham etc.
Result - 100 crore club. The worst part is that they can pull this off again since the money earned bucketloads of money at the box office. :|
And you wonder why more filmmakers are doing this crap. And I sincerely hope they stop calling Rohit Shetty when they want stunts. Hate those god-awful cars-flying-in-the-air crap that he spews. I really don't know who likes it.
