Very poor response in India! Why?

@Jollyne7 It's not about being complicated. CSM uses a lot of show don't tell style of writing. It isn't on the nose with its presentation unlike Indian movies which completely lack subtlety.

Like how many people in India do you think caught onto the fact that Reze made a donation to the charity at the end and received a flower and realised Denji got the flower he gave her by making a donation as well and that's when she finally decided she will run away with him.

It's not complicated but general Indian audience which watches bollywood masala movies won't appreciate such show don't tell style of writing.

@Regularguy_69420 um ok, so what's the point? why mentioned ds out of nowhere?

I'm talking about this weird generalization that if a certain animated movie didn’t blow up, it means the Indian audience doesn’t watch anything outside their norm which is completely wrong. If that were true, DS would have never blown up the way it did. The main reason it earned so much was its wider reach and marketing compared to other animated movies, just like how Oppenheimer became a super hit in India while killers of the flower moon was barely known. F1 also earns really well so yeah, it's not the audience fault that movie didn't have enough reach.

@King_KK ''Like how many people in India do you think caught onto the fact '' Sorry, but it still sounds like you think they're idiots. If I were from India, I'd be kind of offended. Maybe someone won't notice, maybe most will, but you can literally apply that to people from any country for god's sake. Unfortunately, people sometimes don't pay attention to details, but the world won't end if someone doesn't notice and only realizes later. Most people go to the movies to see cool fights. Chinsaw man is no exception. You could just as easily say that people in India don't watch... I don't know, Oppenheimer, Dune, or some complicated sci-fi because they're too stupid. That's not how it works. Chinsaw Man isn't as popular and doesn't get the marketing that some anime films do, and that's it. Anime has recently become mega-popular. It's obvious that such a series won't suddenly rival the popularity of DS.

Even the previous demon slayer movie was 18+ and still it was house full

Lmao it was 18+ iirc it was the compilation of entertainment district and 1st ep of swordsmith, under 18 weren’t allowed to enter and i saw it so you check your facts first

Demon Slayer has skewed your vision of success. Chainsaw Man's box office is actually huge and considered successful + is higher than what MAPPA and TOHO expected. It's just that Demon Slayer is different. If we compare Chainsaw Man to any other anime, the success is massive, only Demon Slayer is doing better this year, and only Demon Slayer and Jujutsu Kaisen are doing better in general. I understand that DS fans are happy about the success, but the comparison with Chainsaw Man is useless and above all toxic. Chainsaw Man is a success, less than DS yes but that doesn't change anything. This ego war is lame and cringe.
