One single aspect that differentiates mystery from drama is a single turn of event on which film’s entire story line hinges. That’s why it is important for the filmmaker of a suspense thriller to protect the film’s storyline before its release. But even if the filmmaker tries its best to keep the story discreet, there’s nothing much he can do once the movie is released as the general viewers can easily reveal the plot on social media or through word of mouth.
Keeping all that in mind, Bollywood stars are urging the viewers to hold their horses and not to reveal the spoilers either on the Internet or by word of mouth. Filmmakers and star cast of Sonakshi Sinha, Sidharth Malhotra and Akshaye Khanna starrer ‘Ittefaq’ are taking to twitter raising awareness against spoilers.
