Year after year new plots comes and go but one thing hasn't seized to exist. No, I am not speaking about our beloved Prime Minister's silence. Its the way how audience flip over. People appreciate the new plots with the same gusto as the old chewed maneuvers time and again. So when Momento inspired Ghajini knocked on the door what enthralled the audience was how beefed up Aamir Khan was and not the fact that 'Have I seen this before?'. Who gives much thought if the song is an Indonesian hit, we just like that it sounds much better when Pritam gets inspired and recreates music.
But the fact that the Bollywood hits pile on 100 freaking crores and off late even enter the glorious 200 crore clubs is not mere star power and good luck. There are some hidden messages worth gold dust in them. Lets have a look at some of them.
3 Idiots depicted students that being stereotypes will not fetch them good jobs especially when you are mediocre and that how three lanky people can ride on the smallest of the mopeds. Dont even get me started on Phunsuk Wangdoo. It sounds like thukpa stall name gone wrong.
Salman Khan is undoubtedly the king of these blockbusters with five 100 crore plus movies. This is largely thanks to the dedicated clan called as Bhai ke fans. They are the single biggest reason for the success of Salman Khans box office hits. Other actors are in search of such a dedicated fan base.
The hit formula is being Dabangg and doing it all over again and just being Dabangg again. Confused ?? But yeah if the sequel rakes in more than the original there are plenty of numbers in the number system. No worries .. just carry on.
Then there is Bodyguard. It showed us that a man with canon like biceps and beefed up chest can carry a name like Lovely and that its cool to love your bodyguard. If Dignity of Labour is all cool nowadays, make way for Dignity of Love !!

Ek Tha Tiger showed us that if the intelligence agent of enemy country is stunningly beautiful then dont give a tiny rats ass to your respective agencies. Just elope with her and start a family in an exotic location say Hawaii or Cuba.
Bhaag Milkha Bhaag emphasized on the fact that a biopic where the actor looked more realistic than the idol and moreover which doesnt give the facts in its totality still makes millions. Afterall its just a 'run' into stardom.
Yeh Jawaani Hain Deewani was an experience in its own. It helped late students and early earners relive their camping trips and made others like your truly feel guilty of not going on them when the time was right. Who knew Deepika Padukone esque girls even went to camping trips !!
Chennai Express taught us not to repeat cult scenes in 90s movies in this era. Giving a hand to a pretty girl to get her on the train is fine but lending a hand to four big ass ugly bodyguards of her is utter folly. Important teaching is that actors playing their age is in vogue.

Then there is Grand Masti. When you hold on to all those jokes of your graduation days and add a butt load of vulgarity to it then 3 weeks of success and 90 odd crores is what comes in. Severe procurement of sausages and bananas by the production house tells you the whole story, doesnt it ??
So now just become Besharam in your plot and create Dhoom on the Box office. Moolah will follow.
