Gone are the days when only a star presence could ensure the success of a movie at the box office. In recent times, the audience has shown that more than so-called stars what they value more is the content. And, the recent debacle of star-loaded movies like Bacchan Pandey or Radhe or Antim: The Final Truth at the box office is just a reminder that the audience value content.
In case you also adore content more than the star’s presence, then you should give these ‘Hatke’ Hindi thriller movies a second chance.
