There is bankruptcy of ideas in Bollywood. We don't want to tax our brains. Who wants to work when everything is available at the click of a button?

So when movies bomb and bomb badly, we shouldn't complain. Because we are to blame for the mess we've landed ourselves in.

THINGS SHOULD IMPROVE IN DECEMBER

While a few people in the industry feel that the scenario won't improve till next year, I'm an optimistic. I have this feeling that things would change for the better in December. There's so much to look forward to – KAANTE, RISHTEY, KARZ, TALAASH, AAPKO PEHLE BHI KAHIN DEKHA HAI, ANDAAZ, SAATHIYA, SATTA, JAAL… all eagerly-awaited flicks.

But the next four weeks – right till December 6 – are bound to be precarious for the film industry. It's a known fact that the box-office collections register a drastic drop during the holy month of Ramzan and most exhibitors are predicting an all-time low phase in the coming days........continued.

Indians must adjust to making and showing Films which turn out profit even at half full houses in the first week. Gone are the days, when House Full sign was a routine.

When Hollywood Films can turn huge profits with 20% house full, why can't Indians adopt to that math.

What is the situation for ticket prices in India? Does it vary from state to state? American ticket prices are steadily climing, so $100 million in 2002 is less impressive than $100 million in even 2000 or 2001. It doesn't take that many tickets to be sold to make a profit anymore.
