No I don't think so.People always favor to watch good films.It is just the way how people love to watch the movies.
Usually not every time there are movies which work due to the actor specially it happens a lot with the Salman Khan category.
Same is happening in South India also .....
A lot of fans associations everywhere......
If am telling about my state, still now fights are going on between the two fans associations.....who is best....Mammootty or Mohan lal.... Truth is that Mammootty fans go to Mohan lal films to shout and say abuse words while his fans don't even allow normal people to hear what's they are talking.....
Same is teh case of Mohanlal movies too....
Fans go and sit in front rows with paper pieces in hand and clap and shout and throw paper pieces....viewers can't see or hear anything during premieres..... better go and watch after some days....
Another trend is also here.....to make their star's film hit, they go and watch movies in theatres repeatedly.... even people are paid for viewing movies.....
How many films, fans have helped them to make hit.....can't count its number.....
A time was there when only these two stars films' only run in theatres......so, no small budget films will be released that time. Small budget films.....they even take permission from these super stars..not to release their film at that time. So, normally, during Onam, Vishu, Christmas etc....super star films will be released...almost reserved :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: while less celebration days go to small films...
but last 2 years seeing a great trend change.....many new directors with new themes and new actors.....Yes, Malayalam films are changing :)
