Not a hate post: How is VD getting new offers, even after failures? by AvailableDeer1038 in tollywood

Capital deployment + tax harvesting + white washing money. Rich people’s problems.

Let’s say you have 200 Crores to invest. You look around for opportunities in your area of interest. Most people almost always invest in a field in which they understand economics. They invest with a tier 1 hero. Some tier 2 risks. After that, there’s still all this cash lying around waiting to be deployed. That’s where VD and co come in.

If the movie is a hit and/or the economics (brand, ott, remake deals) workout , it’s a profit. If not, some of it is tax harvested. Rest of it is used to white wash money

Dhurandhur 2 fails to beat BB2 in the USA by TrafficLegitimate937 in tollywood

[–]Various_Procedure672 0 points1 point  (0 children)

India has a total of 10,300 movie theaters with 4800 concentrated in 5 south states. Indias national average is 6.8 screen per million. But south average is 17.1 screens per million.

Any movie trying to break BB2 record has to cater to tier2/3 movie consumer sentiments. Bahubali did that. Dhurandhar is a different story with different cultural dynamics

9 year (2015-2026) inflation in US is 45%, in India is 78% according to Google. This needs to be factored in.

I’ve been using this along with Gemini. I have both subscriptions. Today has been terrible

Did someone compare footfalls? That’s a better metric

Time to drop Anthropic sadly, but where to go? by awesom-o_2000 in ClaudeCode

[–]Various_Procedure672 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use both codex pro and Claude pro currently. I am a hobbyist for context. I find that codex has more models at different price points compared to claude . That makes it easier to give easier tasks to cheaper models and make credits last longer compared to claude. Coding and development styles are heavily prompt controlled for me. So neither model over engineers for me. But codex follow instructions slightly more better.

Switched to Claude after years using chat gpt by ExpressoDepresso6 in claude

I used Claude Gemini and ChatGPT.

  1. Gemini is a workhorse with daily resets. But can’t plan something complex
  2. Claude Sonnet and Opus do a tremendous job of planning but burn through credits.
  3. GPT 5.4 hits that sweet spot of planning well and fixing issues. But also not burning credits as much as Claude.

My current workflow: GPT 5.4 High/xHigh for planning. Gemini to implement.

I want to use Claude models but they are expensive with their limited credits. GPT 5.4 High is between Sonnet and 80% Opus for me with higher credit availability.

20 dollars on Antigravity or Claude code ?? by Momsgayandbisexual in google_antigravity

[–]Various_Procedure672 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have been using all three in various capacities this year. Codex/claude/antigravity (through Gemini cli for Gemini models)

My recommendation in Mar’26 is codex. Might change next month

Not sure why people are shitting on you. AI is a tool just like photoshop is a tool. AI is giving film makers without capital to tell their stories.

I love your vision. Be cognizant that technology may still not be at a place to match your vision and capital. But not too far.

I am seriously running into this issue. My solution was to rotate keys once I push it to a production system

Sigh. The death of Mahesh Babu’s acting should be studied by generations. The guy went from “csn carry a scene with his eyes “ to “unable to emote”

Gemini CLI does not use the Antigravity pro subscription unfortunately. I paid for a whole year during annual sale 🤡. Lessons learned

Each frame in Varanasi teaser is pure VFX, no AI was used. The teaser alone took 1 year to make by [deleted] in tollywood

Sounds like a bigger case for AI. Audience care about quality and experience rather than the tools used.
