Aaaand... It's On IMDb Top 250. Thoughts?


At #100 right now, what do you think?

It's certainly going to fall, quickly! Gathering international attention is going to be counter productive for this film. International "audience" are going to down-vote it without a viewing just because it's a Bollywood film. Plus there's the issue of Ballot stuffing and non regular voters to some degree, for which, IMDB probably has certain 'measures' or 'weights' for Indian Films and, voters too for that regard. IMDB is cognizant of Indian voters being a little lenient and emotional while voting, which explains why it's 97-100 even though it's No. 1 in Indian 250. If it stabilizes in 6 to 7 months, it will stabilize at 210ish.

Agreed. Even if stays over 200, that's fairly acceptable. But, don't know if there is universal unanimity when it is about Bollywood films.

I think by passing time as users will vote for this movie, it has a great chance to remain in top 100. It is as the best movie made in Indian movie history. After release in China and Japan, this movie will get more attention and their is a hope for remaining in Top 100.

Nope, it's the other way around. Higher expectations makes it difficult to survive

I don't think this film warrants a place in the 100. But Tejas, check this out.

By no stretch of imagination do I think Shawshank deserves to be seated at 1. But despite being there, I kind of agree with it.

WHY? Because it appeals to many different kinds of people from different walks of life.

Similarly Dangal might appeal to more people from different walks of life.

Finding it in 100 is slightly absurd but then we are a billion people.

Umm, that makes some sense. Although, I know people who didn't find Dangal to be that appealing just because they are not into sports. Keeping that in mind, there is a chance that it could drop. But out of the 250? Unlikely.

Maybe it would flip flop like Gangs of Wasseypur.

Life is a joke, but atleast its a good one.

I see. Gangs of Wasseypur has been coming in and out for years now. Don't think it will ever stabilize, considering it's been almost 5 years.
