Vidya, I guess, yearns for these"feel good" movies to succeed, because they are feel good. She does offer a reason why RS hasn't - it's choppy and doesn't allow the viewer time to savour the turning points and come to conclusions. The movie is jumpy and rushed at crucial frames. I got a similar feeling when I watched Mitr - my friend by Revathi. Good questions Vineet. Vidya, I guess, yearns for these”feel good” movies to succeed, because they are feel good.

Wanted was quintessential masala bollywood stuff. Not that it was a great film but just had all the ingredients in place. And what's so "bollywood" about the problem of Rocket singh not doing as well as Wanted? Hasn't crap in hollywood done much better? Hasn't a Jurrasic Park made more money than  a schindlers list? Both mind you released by the same director in the same year... Isn't Avatar doing much better than maybe what Good Will Hunting did? Why Weird movies like WANTED do well?
