I don’t think ’superstars end when they have a few duds. If there is talent and charisma it stays there despite ups and downs that long-running stars endure. SRK’s movies or Amitabh Bahcchan’s movies haven’t all been top ones and they have stood the distance despite that.
I am still going to try out 8X10 Tasveer on DVD (I dont get access to Bollywoods on the screen where I live).
It also depends on taste. Movies that don’t go well at the box office can still overall do OK on a world-wide run and through DVD these days. For instance ‘Luck by Chance’ didn’t seem to go all that well in India but it seems to be getting above average to rave ratings on Western Internet sites now the DVD has been released there.
I haven’t been that keen on Akshay comedies which are a bit ’silly’ for me. This is more in the script and the mood they were going for than the actor (who I see has had good reviews generally even for Tasveer despite the movie itself being seen as disappointing). I will be happy to get back to a romantic comedy from him- and perhaps even an action one depending on its content.

i dont think its end of akki.
8×10 is good movie as far as iam concerned however some people dont like the ending but as far as iam concerned the ending is ok since you cant predict human psychology and the impression of various events in child hood and for me the ending seem good.

the movie is well taken probably it might not be a block buster but iam sure akki will get new class of fans through this movie by doing something special away from casual films every one in bollywood doing.

one or two movies dont make much difference in the akki’s run he is the king.

Poor Akshay Kumar.. that’s what i thought.. by end of this year he’ll go back to the same position he was in the past..

HI PUNJABI PEOPLE.. WHO KILLED YOURSELF ON THE PAGE OF SINGH IS KINNG, FIGHTING WITH ME, THAT AKSHAY IS THE KING OF BOLLYWOOD AND YOU ATTACKED ME IN A BAD WAY.. HI.. WHAT DO U SAY ABOUT HIM NOW?!!!!!

Anyway.. I’m not this type that would be happy for someone’s failure, but that was my feeling, that Akshay by end of 2009 he’ll go reverse and back to where he was in the past, NOT BECAUSE HE’S A BAD ACTOR.. BUT BECAUSE HE SELECTS BAD SCRIPTS.. and he (himself) has this doubt, during his last interview on NDTV, he said that he’d rather go back to where he was in the past.. do u know why.. all of you? Because he lacks confidence.. he knows he can’t defeat Shahruh, Aamir & Hrithik.

8 x 10 Tasveer is quite a good movie, I didn’t like the ending, but didn’t affect a good direction.. didn’t work at the box office.. that we can say it’s fate, many good movies didn’t do well at the box office, and many silly movies did.

As Akshay Kumar is a hard work guy, therefore I wish that he’d consider his career once again, and try to select some good scripts, I don’t want him to go back after the great success he achieved and want to see him in some good movies whether it was action,, romantic whatever, but good movies

Shahrukh isn’t a superstar because of his talent only, but because of his choice for scripts, so is Aamir & Hrithik.

Its not the right time to judge whether his reign in Bollywood is over or yet to remain. You check, most of his hits are not solo, but with many other co-stars. In this way can we give him full credit? No n Never. Many titles r there for proof.
Look at Sunil Shetty, who was once Akki’s best partner in movies has fallen totally below b-grade stars. Will Akki become like him?

Hari: A question for you ( and please whoever is planning to watch 8×10 tasveer.. don’t read this comment)

We couldn’t predict that Jay had a twin brother who’s name is Jeet.. that’s a good point, but what I didn’t like about the ending was the following:

How could Jay forgive Jeet in a second and he did terrible things?!! He killed his dad and stabbed his mom who’s almost dead and tried to kill him too?!!
And.. how could the bad bother Jeet change in a few seconds, while listening to Jay’s lecture, so became a good person, left all his plans behind, forgot his greed and his girlfriend and killed her?!! That wasn’t convincing at all. Moreover.. how could Jay keep on breathing and didn’t die when he was thrown in the ocean, while trying to find a pestol to break the chain with?!

Some directors do good movies but spoil it in the end.

*******The comment has Spoilers*******

Hi Fathiya…let me pitch in my comment here…
the first stunt scene in the movie clearly shows us that Jai holds his breath for 4 mins so one thing is clarified.
y he becomes a killer can b defended bcoz of the torture he went thru n psychology and he wanted Jai to die n murders happened in the course of having the property.
probably a scene or 2 shud hav been shown depicting Jeet psych or very weak mentally n can b manipulated.

many movies dealing with psyche of person ha been released in holly so may b Kukunoor shud hav increased the running time by 10 more minutes n shown y it took Jeet to take such a step.

n killing parents for property is not a new thing it happens in real life too…n brothers ample cases…

*********************

Fathiya is back?oh god >_<,err Well you see if a person does 4-5 films in ayear it’s obvious all won’t be hits and won’t get super openings what if 2 are flops? cc2c bombed i accept,Tasveer is the most least hyped akkis film so bad opening,but fortunately blue,ishq,de dana dan,housefull are carrying tremendous hype so watch out for them and fathiya stop posting film spoilers i hope indicine deletes her comment,k thnx.

Aryna: he hold his brith for 4 minutes! could u do it for 4 minutes?! I can’t even for one minute.. I’d die.

Kalyan: I’m not back.. I’m always here, posting my comments. And how could u predict that his upcoming movies might be some good ones?! Many movies were expected good, were promoted well, but failed e.g. Tashan flopped as well as cc2c and now 8×10 Tasveer.. if his upcoming movies didn’t do well, then everyone has to say: Goodybe Akshay.. you’ve to quit bollywood and go back to Thailand, work at any restaurant!

Hey Fathiya the movies r fictional u gottu believe them dint u believe Anushka’s character of not figuring out his own husband without moustache in RNBDJ…n plp can hold breathe close to that, he also mentions it as a world record so not a prob for me…

correction its *her* n not *his*

Fathiya…u r srk slave…who always prase him for whatever he does….
i have always seen ur comments against amir, akki, salman, etc etc…
& for Srk…..always positive.
better dont comments for other stars if u cant say anything good.

Aryan: It’s a movie I know, it’s a fiction, but even in fection movies, some parts we can’t agree with.. I accepted that he had a super power which enabled him to enter anyone’s past, by staring at his photo.. but what happens in the end.. no..sorry Aryan, for me wasn’t a good ending.

And about Anushka’s role in Rabne.. that wasn’t a fiction movie, and it wasn’t only the moustache which made shahrukh look different as Raj.. it was (everything).. he was different from head to toe, as well as his character and attitude. Aryan: if u watched Rabne for one time, please watch it again, and then you’ll notice that Tani in the movie has doubts but can’t be sure as Raj was completely a different character, Raj was with no moustache, with a different hairstyle, with no glasses on his face, with a different pants, shirt, specially the attitude, completely a different man!

listen fathiya, you are just a hater, you talk about akshay kumars movies that did not do good but what about that ass srk movie billu that was a flop! just keep your mouth shut

Fathiya ! shat your stupid mouthe first.how you compare gay like sharuk with real king like akshay.
akshay done great job from lsat twenty years with out any godfather in bollywood ,with out any big banner
he become king on his own power .so what .if today he has two flop that’s ok man.
compare (tasveer) with sharuks last two films than decide which one is better .
I agree that sharuk has some stupid fans who macke all his stupid movies super hit.
Lets waite for his next moives .

Ahsan & Salman: If we.. as shahrukh’s fans are stupid.. then why aren’t u some stupid people who love Akshay and worship him although 75% of his movies were (bad movies) some like cartoons, some stupid silly action movies, some with very poor direction and poor scripts, but Shahrukh’s 80% were good and the last 2 movies also were some good movies.. Rabne was excellent and was a blockbuster, Billue wasn’t a commercial movie, and it was his home production but not his movie.. it was Irfan Khan’s movie, Irfan was in the leading role and not Shahrukh, and no one knows.. probably shahrukh likes and respect Irfan Khan therefore he planned to do him a movie.

Moreover.. I said that 8×10 Tasveer is a good movie, but the last 5 minutes spoiled it ( even in chakpak website, some ppl said so.. the ending was stupid)

You shut up stupid people coz you don’t know how to criticise any film, to see the positive and negative in any movie as u are biased, and when u love any actor blindly so you just defend him even if he did the worst e.g. cctc and Tashan!
Akshay got 3 flop movies, one in 2008 Tashan, two in 2009 cc2c & this one.. God knows about the next and his upcoming movies!!

Fathiya! all of Haklu khan’s movies are stupid .same story same music .same team .
even same locations .Akshay is 100 times better than this gay actor .
if you realy know about movies you couldn’t say that sharuk is better

Ahsan Khan: You’ve NO RIGHT to accuse anyone that he’s gay.. isn’t your name Ahsan Khan?!! So this means that you’re a muslim guy.. in our religion Islam ( obviously u know nothing about Islam) the biggest sin you do which is worst even than killing is to accuse someone or talk about him in a bad way and u have no evidence that he is! Even if u have evidence.. you shouldn’t say it.. that’s if u r a true muslim!!

And what makes u think that you know better about movies!!!

End of Akshay Kumar.. Indicine Team said it.. and they said that he’s no longer one of the top 3 in bollywood.. so you guys who r so angry now have no choice except to turn yr back and forget about your false hero!!

AJ: you’re a donkey, or maybe a monkey.. I never accused anyone in a bad way as u all do!! Aamir Khan slept with a western woman, she disclosed everything about him and that he got a son.. and the media wrote about it!! So I didn’t accuse him coz what happened was true.. they even published his sons’ picture who looks like him!

And.. I’m talking about Akshay’s movies, and not about his personal life.. can u people prove that Akshay is not Gay?!! How can u prove it if I say that he’s gay?!!! You can’t nah.. this way people spoil someone’s image!

But.. but.. u all know what he did recently during Lakme Fashion Show.. do u still have respect form him?!! And his wife has been arrested coz she’s also a shameless woman.. how could she unbutton his trouser in public?!!!!!

I think he’s gone mad, so has his wife!!

HI All,
I feel its still early to call it a end of Akshay stardom…bcoz first u dont become superstar jus like that and he does lot of movies so the probability of 100% success is difficult and if he pulls it off everytime then i thnk he wont b a human…this yr again he has almost 3 films lined up so even if 2 which r banked on highly turn out biggies he is bac to wat u plp call top3…
its good he came out of comedy n the safe zone, some set of plp hav liked the movie bcoz i dont c many hindi movies getting a user rating of 6.3 in IMDB

And I dont find the review frm Indicine here quiet strange considering it being a good one
Amitabh B also used to do lot of films he too doesnot hav a grt8 success ratio its only in 1990 Agnipath which made him the legend…
Last yr wen Panchvi paas bombed on tv SRK had got criticized

Its sad the movie isnt appreciated for being diffirent but im sure KI will hav a bumper opening just like Ghajini or OSO bcoz we r used to only masala flicks…

So its good to debate on this topic but cannot conclude…

Fathiya !if Indicine Team saying something about Akshay that dos’t mean that they are 100% right.
this is not from god or Allah. we all know that no one can pridect 100% about some one
and we all know about media people .they just plying with people,s feeling specially stupid people .
thirefore don’t trust him 100%
at the same time evry one has a right to sport his or her F actor and I don’t let any one to say any thing wrong about King Kumar
