In a country where millions come to the dream city of Mumbai to fulfill their dreams, and roughly one thousand movies release every year, what decides if a movie is hit or flop in Bollywood? Is it a good script, or an A grade cast? The story plus the box office collection and when it’s about India, ironically luck plays a greater role than hard work.

What is the term used for making a remake of a superhit movie resulting in a huge failure? It is known as RGV Ki Aag.
