Our Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad made an interesting statement recently where he said that India's economy is doing just fine as three films that released on October 2 did Rs 120 crore business. Obviously, nobody found it funny and he received a lot of flak for that. He later issued a reasoning behind the statement on Twitter. Now it seems Indians have taken this suggestion very seriously, after all who doesn't want India's economy to get a boost. So Twitter users have come up with a series of movie titles which can help Indian economy. Ravi Shankar Prasad Tweets After Facing Flak For His ‘Movies & Economy’ Remark, Says ‘Outlined That Fundamentals of Indian Economy Are Strong’
While many of them are suggesting Sholay to be re-released, there is also the dreadful advice to let KRK make a Deshdrohi sequel. Check out all the reactions here...
Good time for KRK to release sequel to Deshdrohi. All bhakts will queue outside cinema halls to watch the movie, to prove country's economy is doing fine.#RaviShankarPrasad

We wonder if the filmmakers will listen and release these films again. After all, we want our economy to do better and as per Mr Prasad, films are the key to that.
