Bollywood Box Office Manipulation Exposed
Some people in Bollywood, like producers and actors, are making up numbers about how much money their movies make.
They do this to make their movies look like big hits, even if they're not.
This way, they can get more movies made and not feel embarrassed.
A journalist named Vickey Lalwani said he saw a producer making a fake report about how much money a movie made on its second day, even before the day was over.
The next day, that fake number was everywhere.
This makes people talk about the money instead of the movie itself.
Bollywood producers and actors manipulate box office numbers to show their films as hits.
They spend their own money to buy tickets to inflate box office collections.
Journalist Vickey Lalwani revealed that producers create fake collection reports before actual numbers are in.
The focus on box office performance overshadows discussions about the film's quality.
This manipulation helps secure future projects and maintain face in the industry.
