Hansal Mehta says Box office numbers is not determinant of the quality of the movie

According to Hansal Mehta, the audience should only be concerned with if the movie is worth seeing in the theatre and not with how well it fared financially.Filmmaker Hansal Mehta has stated that a movie’s box office performance is a very “private” matter and that viewers should only concentrate on whether the film was worth the admission fee. He added that terrible films shouldn’t be assessed only on their box office hauls because they may perform better than good films overall.

Hansal was responding to a tweeter who pointed out the discrepancy between box office numbers provided by a movie producer and those provided by a trade analyst. The user said that a producer might occasionally release exaggerated box office data and that even trade experts might make mistakes with the figures. Hansal responded to it by writing, “The box office of a movie is nobody’s business. In a variety of strictly transactional and ultimately private ways, it affects ONLY those participating in the film.”STOP JUDGING FILMS BY B-O (box office) NUMBERS,” he continued. Sometimes, bad films gross a lot of money, while good ones gross less.
