This is how War, Joker, Sye Raa box office collections got Ravi Shankar Prasad trolled

Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad has become a laughingstock after he quoted War, Joker and Sye Raa box office collections to deny the economic slowdown in India. He was massively trolled on social media.

A lot has been discussed about the economic slowdown in the country, while the ruling and opposition parties are engaged in blame game over the issue. Amidst this chaos, Ravi Shankar Prasad, the Union Minister for Law and Justice, Communications and Electronics and IT, gave a crazy logic of box office collection to defend the country's economy.

Ravi Shankar Prasad was recently in Mumbai to campaign for the BJP for the Assembly polls when he spoke about the economic slowdown in the country. The Union Minister referred to film trade analyst Komal Nahta's statement that War, Joker and Sye Raa collected Rs 120 crore at the domestic box office on their opening days. He alleged that India's economy is sound, but some people are misleading the people.

When asked about the slowdown, Ravi Shankar Prasad said, "I was also told that on October 2, observed as one of the national holidays, three Hindi movies garnered ₹120 crore business. Unless the economy is sound in the country how can only three movies collect so much business in a single day?"

However, Ravi Shankar Prasad's logic has amused many people, including some of the BJP supporters, who say that his example is very poor in taste. He should have admitted to the economic slowdown. Instead of defending, he could have suggested some recovery measures.

The video featuring Ravi Shankar Prasad's statement has gone viral on social media and many mocked the Union Minister with funny memes and comments. Here are some examples from Twitter.

Global Warming is a complete lie. I just switched on my AC and reduced the temperature from 25 to 18. Why can't you just do that instead of crying about Global Warming? #RaviShankarPrasad #BJPLogics

Mystery is solved. Akshay Kumar releases 4 movies in a year to boost the economy. That is why he's so close to the current government #EconomicSlowdown#RaviShankarPrasad

Ya I think this is the new concrete plan with government to boost the economy. I think that's why Modi Ji is perfecting his acting skills on beach with camera. #ModiOnBeach #Movies #RaviShankarPrasad #Economy #India

In that case u jokers should definitely give a try in a movie with narendra modi as lead actor and ultimately it will revive the fked up economy. I know u are entertainers in politics and believe me you are that entertaining that your logic absolutely SUCKS!! #RaviShankarPrasad

RAVISHANKAR PRASAD : 3 Movies Earned 120 Cr in a day means there is no Economic Slowdown...

ME : Then Why Government has withdrawn 1.75 Lakh Crore Rupees from RBI, and Why our GDP is 5 % only ???

Vinayak Naik @vinayaknaik441

What answers do BJP have for following :

Farmers = Article 370

Jobs = Article 370

Infrastructure = Article 370

Floods = Article 370

Economy = Films earning 120crores

We should congratulate BJP for different answer. #RaviShankarPrasad
