Box office analysis
Why did 'Masti' franchise fail to impress?
Zaveri also reflected on the underperformance of his 2025 release Masti 4.
He attributed it to a change in audience preferences, saying, "The genre may be passé."
"The genre worked many years back but there were no OTT platforms at the time, and YouTube wasn't so strong."
"Today, you've so much material on your phone, on apps, on various platforms that the shock value of the genre is completely diminished."
