Ramayana Part 1 is the marketing for Ramayana Part 2
Guys, I have figured it out.
I know even if no other assets are released or even worse assets are released, all of you will go spend your hard earned money to watch the movie (your mind craves the possibility of witnessing Ramayana as a visual spectacle and a masterclass in storytelling)
Even with the trash campaign of the marketing agency hired by Namitasur, the whole project is still going to be a success.
Let me break it down:
Step 1 - No one outside India watches it, even Indians have lost faith and watch in limited numbers
Step 2 - We(the sub members) go watch the movie
Step 3 - The movie turns out to be the best movie watching experience of our lifetimes
Step 4 - We spread the word and singlehandedly turn the perception of the Indians
Step 5 - Indians watch the movie in overwhelmingly large number(every show in every theatre gets booked for the next 2 months)
Step 6 - Word starts spreading outside India, the diaspora helps a bit
Step 7 - Foreigners start feeling left out
Step 8 - FOMO gets to them and they give it a shot
Step 9 - The movie turns out to be the best movie watching experience of their lifetimes
Step 10 - The word spread like wildfire
Step 11 - Profit (Shagun ke saath)
Step 12 - People wait desparately for the second part(posed to be even better than the first one)
Step 13 - One year is a long time, YouTubers will keep milking the movie for a whole year and we will watch them in excitement and to maintain hype
Step 14 - Part 2 arrives
This was their plan all along
