The video discusses the Indian film "Adipurush", a ₹7 billion production that was heavily criticized for its poor VFX, terrible dialogues, and copied scenes from other movies. Despite this, the film earned ₹2.50 billion in its first three days but later crashed, failing to cross ₹2.90 billion after 20 days of its release.
The video then shifts its focus to the film industry's trends, specifically the formulaic approach to filmmaking, which prioritizes profit over creativity and originality. The rules of this formula include:
1. Never trying anything new
2. Making action films
3. Creating sequels, prequels, or remakes
4. Remaking successful films
5. Incorporating familiar actors and songs
6. Copying set designs and scenes from Hollywood movies
7. Appeasing the audience's wrong mindset
8. Making everything larger than life and investing in heavy marketing
The video argues that while some good movies exist, the majority of the film industry focuses on making money by following these formulas. The creators of "Adipurush" followed this formula but still failed to achieve success due to their laziness and sole focus on exploiting religious sentiments for profit.
The video concludes by encouraging viewers to support good films and make them the norm, rather than the exception, to improve the film industry.
