The recently released star-studded flick ‘Veere Di Wedding’ has garnered immense buzz even before its release. Surprisingly, the plot of the movie shares similarities with that of ‘Angry Indian Goddesses’, but the Balaji Production’s movie wins an extra point for its stupendous star cast.

On the other hand, despite an interesting script and fabulous performances by not so renowned actors, Angry Indian Goddesses failed to get into the 100 crore club, which raises questions like – is the audience ready to go beyond the star power and appreciate the content or a Kapoor, Khan and Kumar would be more than enough to take over all the senses?

Who is to be blamed for the failure of small budget movies- audience or the promoters and distributors?

Pavleen – who played a vital role in the 2015 release (Angry Indian Goddesses) feels there were various other factors behind the movie’s failure, besides its star cast. “If you ask me, ‘Angry Indian Goddesses’ was a little ahead of time. Today, I see a lot many women-centric movies – showing unexplored themes such as ‘women’s friendship’. But the scenarios were different back then and accepting an all women movie must have been a little difficult. Therefore, being the first one in the genre, Angry Indian Goddesses couldn’t manage to create the desired impact. That’s what I believe,” Pavleen stated adding, “Also because we were not backed by big production houses and banners, we had to face the consequences.”

Speaking of who to blame for the unfair competition existing in the industry, Gujral further said, “Indeed, today’s audience is very smart and demands quality cinema, yet the publicity and promotions are those factors which highly influences the film’s success. It is the promoters and distributors who empower the so-called A-listers with the powers – which in turn affect the box office numbers directly.”
