‘My Name Is Khan’ is still relevant: Shah Rukh Khan

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, whose film ‘My Name Is Khan’ completed 7 years of release, expressed sadness over the plot of the film still remaining relevant today – given the increasing plight of muslims after the 9/11 attacks in 2001.

“It’s kinda sad too that ‘My Name Is Khan’ is still relevant. But thanks Karan, Ravi, Kajol, SEL Shibani Niranjan Deepa Jimmy and all cast/crew for a special film” Shah Rukh tweeted.

The actor’s tweet is also being seen as criticism towards US President Donald Trump’s executive order to temporarily bar entry into the US to refugees and citizens from seven Muslim-majority nations.

The director of the film, Karan Johar, thanked SRK and said “Thank you Rizvan for spreading your love, your message, your innocence… Seven years of ‘My Name Is Khan'”

Released in theatres on 12 February 2010, My Name Is Khan collected Rs 210 crore worldwide. It was the biggest overseas grosser of all time when it released and performed better outside India.

Shah Rukh won his 8th Filmfare Best Actor award for performance, his last to date.

  • @Sayar- No I don’t believe in the footfalls given by BOI. I follow BOI but I am not an uneducated person that I will believe in every single thing that BOI puts forward. It’s quite evident that there is no authentic source to measure footfallls in the past, not even in the present. I follow BOI only for Boxoffice collection and Stardom measurement. Also BOI under-reports overseas collection all the time.

    @Dishonest Cow- Abey Donkey, Trimurti and K3G openings had SRK’s contribution. K3G opening was due to SRK, Amitabh and Hrithik put together and lifetime was due to SRK only. And who are you to decide who was the no. 1? The whole world accepts SRK was the King of Bollywood from 1992-2009, for 2 decades. And your own information shows lallu doesn’t have any opening before 2010. I am wasting my time talking with the “gawar” who thinks Don 2 and ETT was from the same genre, Don 2 had one song and no leading heroine( Priyanka Chopra’s role was nothing compared to Katrina and Katrina is a far bigger star than Priyanka at that time, although I won’t give credit to any heroine as heroines on their own can’t pull crowd unless they are Sridevi and Madhuri in their best phase) and ETT had songs after songs. SRK at the time of 1992-2009 was the number one in spite of doing offbeat films like Swades, Paheli( an art film which was the official Indian entry for the Oscars) and CDI. SRK chose serious films and he did all kind of films and took all kind of risks as he has an artistic nature and is a stupendous actor. He did films which won both the audience and the juries with 7 National Awards for his films in the best popular film category and countless filmfares. He won both audience and art. Whereas lallu in his best phase was doing back to back South Remakes, doing sequels of his art films Ek tha Chinkara and Gobangg. His only appreciated film which won audience and juries alike is Bajrangi Bhaijaan, the most universally appealing film which in spite of being an Eid release failed to become ATHG.

    Your own data shows SRK had the highest opening for-
    1995- trimurti, SRK
    2001- k3g ,–SRK, Amitabh, Hrithik.
    2002- devdas- srk
    2004- main hoon na – srk
    2007- oso- srk

    And your own information shows lallu didn’t have a single opening of the year before 2010 and I am right in saying he is a 7 year old star. Dominance for 2 decades can’t be compared with dominance for 7 year, even when SRK in his worst phase is giving highest opening of the year with HNY. And in terms of both opening and lifetime he is the All Time Best Megastar which even BOI has accepted. But business of films now have become Festival oriented, Eid and Christmas are bigger superstars than lallu the Gangu Teli even in his best phase.

  • @honest man
    Why are u bringing rest of bollywood, just compare srk-salman Now look:

    Multistarrer doesnt matter eg: Hum Tumhare Hai Sanam was the biggest multistarrer of the time, still failed despite SRK+Salman+Aish+Madhuri
    Only SRK-Salman Opening\
    1992-Deewana(wait for update)-SRK
    93-Baazigar/darr-srk
    94-Anjaam-srk
    95-Raamjane/trimurti-SRK
    96-The 2010 born star
    97-SRK(koyla)
    98-Dilse-srk
    99-The 2010 born star
    2000-The 2010 born star
    2001-k3g
    2002-devdas(srk)
    2003-KHNH-SRK
    2004-MHN-srk
    2005-The 2010 born star
    2006-srk
    2007-srk
    2008-srk
    2009::: SRK had no release(Billu was not his film)

    2011-The 2010 born star
    2012-The 2010 born star
    2013-The 2010 born star had no release
    2014-SRK
    2015-The 2010 born star
    2016-The 2010 born star

    So Count yourself

  • @ nn yes christmas is a big period , and srk’s film on that period fails to enter the top three grossers of the year, shame on gangu teli. salman releases his film on non holiday and beats srk’s festival releases, shame on gangu teli. if your gangu teli can not utilise the festivals then who is responsible for that, why will he be given countless chances despite of failing everytime. he is the star who have gained from festivals the most. otherwise ra one, don2 would have been disasters without holidays and hny would have struggled to get hit status.
    and first read my comment properly then answer. trailer of raees or every film of srk gives the impression that they are universal appealing film. raees’s trailer was as massy as dabangg. raees has countless songs just as sunny leone doing laila me laila, a gangstar dancing udi udi jaaye, then there is dhingana pingana , then gangstar singing zalima and many more. but all these things are not enough for gangu teli to deliver even a clean hit.
    this before 2010 and after 2010 does not matter for me at all, i am standing in 2017 , not 2009. salman in one decade has done almost 80% of what srk has done in his overall career and when this decade will end he will beat the overall career of srk in one decade, no excuse can defend it. it itself proves what srk has done in his 25 years glorious career.
    hearing about srk’s 2 decades stardom is like hearing to ghost stories . you can only hear about ghost but will never see them in real ilfe. same goes for srk’s stardom.
    and srk can have little contribution in k3g’s opening just like abhishek bachchan has in dhoom3 but it can not be compared to what salman has contributed for the opening of dabangg, bodyguard,ett, prdp and sultan. hritik was the more saleable star during k3g while srk was delivering poor openers with 1 2 ka 4 and asoka.
    @ sayar what are you trying to prove using that useless statistics. it only proves srk’s slow consistency like tortoise not superstardom. salman despite of being a 2010 born star leads srk in almost everything in the overall career be it bbs, atbbs, hgoty, hgotd, 2cr 3cr 4cr footfalls. in terms of record openers they are equal( though in solo salman is ahead), and in terms of atgs also they are equal. why your so called 2 decades dominating star is not ahead of a 2010 born star in any of the things in overall career. can you explain?

  • @Dishonest Cow-Abey moron, every film’s trailer is made out to look entertaining and universal. Even Fan’s trailer was entertaining, that doesn’t mean the film will be universal. And barking about Raees, what happened to “Flop Ho”?? Both in opening and lifetime it was the biggest flop with 4000 screens in spite of being a commercial south remake with social message. That shows lallu’s aukaat without Eid. Tell me a commercial gangster film which grossed more than Raees. And not to mention it has beaten Hrithik’s best film in years left, right and centre. It’s the second time SRK has beaten Hrithik to whom you are so eager to give K3G’s opening credit to. I don’t understand how can a star be more saleable when he has given 3 back to back flops before K3G and 4 back to back flops after that until 2003 when Papa Roshan came to save his son.Whereas SRK gave 4 back to back HGOTY worldwide at that period. Before 2010, all of lallu’s BBs and Hgotys are multistarrers without any credit on his behalf. Isn’t it a matter of great shame for Lallu the Gangu Teli to reach stardom 21 years after his debut?? Yeah SRK’s 25 years of glorious career is a ghost’s story since CNN, BBC, Forbes, The Los Angeles Times, The Guardian all are interested in that ghost’s story, whereas Lallu the Gangu Teli’s identity to them is that of a Criminal. Depending on South Remakes and Eid Lallu the Gangu Teli has given some blockbusters, now see who will break his record of back to back Disasters and Flops?
    Let’s take a look at Lolman’s career in short
    1991-1994-6 back to back flops
    1995-1996-4 back to back flops(barring KA which had SRK)
    2000-2004—-9 back to back flops
    2004-2007—-8 back to back flops
    2007-2009—-4 back to back flops
    2009-2010—-3 back to back flops

    Not to mention lost to Rakhi Sawant, 1 year old Ranbir Kapoor, Akshay Kumar and who not? Careers aren’t judged only by the total number of the blockbusters only ( even in that SRK isn’t far behind, he has enough considering he has spent less years in Bollywood compared to lallu the Gangu Teli) when you have the record of back to back biggest disasters. Shame on Lallu the Gangu Teli, whose number of Flops are greater than his number of Hits. In fact he has more number of flops and Disasters than the total number of all the years he spent in Bollywood. ???

  • @nn forget about what happened before 2010 and if salman films were multistarrers or not, salman in this decade only has 8 blockbusters to his name while srk has 10 in overall career, there is 90% chance that salman will beat the total number of blockbusters in one decade only. it is enough to prove that srk has only stayed in this industry for 25 years but has done nothing. his consistency is on par with a tortoise’s running speed. and i have not only mentioned about blockbusters. salman is ahead of srk in all time blockbusters, 2crore 3crore 4 crore footfalls, highest grosser of the year, highest grosser of the decade. most number of adjusted net 200 crore and 300 crorgrossers. in terms of record openers salman and srk is equal in numbers but if we talk about solo films then salman is way ahead. in terms of all time grossers salman and srk is equal . so the point is srk despite of dominating two decades( according to zebra fans) he is ahead of 2010 born star in nothing. huge blockbusters, huge grossers, record openers, big footfalls of 2cr 3cr can only be achieved by superstars and if you conpare salman and srk’s overall career in those things you will always find salman ahead and salman will continue to take his lead further ahead in the comming years as srk’s career has become stagnant now. so chanting about flops will prove nothing.
    trailer decides the genre of a film. and every films trailer does not have evrything. for example dangal was looking an risky film from the trailer. look at the trailer of rustom or airlift they look niche films from the word go. or take an example of drishyam, where was it entertaining from the trailer, those are niche films. though i will say dangal was not a niche film at all ( as it was released on huge 4200 screens)but definetly was risky.
    none of the films of srk you zebra fans mention are risky at all. he plays all the safe tricks to make his film look universal in the trailer.
    salman’s aukat without eid was proved on 2011 when his non edx release ready went on to beat srk’s two edx releases and made srk nanga. and what happened with jai ho is called law of average, any cricketer or actor will always fail once . salman has given 5 back to back bbs so one failure was normal, and fan despite of having much more ticket prices than jai ho failed to beat it’s weekend collections let’s not talk about lifetime. raees’s weekend was on the similar range of jai ho with ticket prices on par with dangal. jai ho was released on 3800 screens and raees was released on 3400 screens but raees’s ticket prices were way more than jai ho as it was released after 3 years and in these 3 years many event films had come which had raised the ticket prices many times. so to make a fair comparison jai ho’s adjusted net gross today according to boi.com is 133 crore net and raees will finish at 129 crore .so ideally though jai ho was the weakest film of salman in last five or 6 years srk failed to beat that film with a film like raees which was supposed to beat sultan.

  • @Dishonest Cow-LOL, whenever I mention flops and Disasters you run 100 miles away from it. What footfall are you talking about, footfalls of BOI are like fairytales, have no consistency. And SRK has enough HGOTY worldwide, way higher than other actors/stars’ “bheek-eater” Lallu the Gangu Teli. And time will say who will say who will go ahead in the coming years. The only reason you are saying that lallu the Gangu Teli has more chance of giving blockbuster is because he is shamelessly blocking all the festive periods of the year. He knows he is nothing without festivals. Lallu showed his aukaat with Jai Ho, and what happened with Ready is the law of average. LOL, Dangal was a risky film..??? It was one of the safest films in the history of Bollywood. Riskier than Gangu Teli Lallu’s Lultan, maybe, as Lallu never does anything risky, he himself admits it since he is a Non-Actor. Fan was more niche than Rustom and Airlift put together. What’s niche about Airlift..?? It’s the Airlift type of film that are getting success nowadays. It’s almost like Dangal, real life events, more inspiring. And comparing Fan with Jai Ho.??!! Rather ask Lallu the Gangu Teli to dare to do a film like Fan which requires acting skill and courage. It was one of the most risky films done by any superstar ever. Raees had Sunny Leone, and Sunny Leone is enough to prove that Raees is not a universal film. Even Lallu’s PR Indicine said before release that family audience wouldn’t approve of this material and won’t watch a dark film like Raees. You are a Donkey, so it’s not possible to make you understand some simple common sense. Bootlegging is a serious subject matter and even Pakistan banned it for its content, no use of casting Mahira Khan in the film. Ra-One, Fan, Raees all are risky films but a Cow-dung head like yours won’t fathom it. And what adjusted net are you talking about..?? Lallu with 4000 crores could cross 20 crore in opening and couldn’t give Hit in Solo, then it is a Disaster. Imagine what would have been the scenario if Jai Ho would release with Kaabil. Kaabil would have beaten Flop Ho, left, right and centre Just like Raees has beaten that “Flop Ho” left, right and centre. Instead of Barking the same thing over and over, read this carefully:

    Isn’t it a matter of great shame for Lallu the Gangu Teli to reach stardom 21 years after his debut?? Yeah SRK’s 25 years of glorious career is a ghost’s story since CNN, BBC, Forbes, The Los Angeles Times, The Guardian all are interested in that ghost’s story, whereas Lallu the Gangu Teli’s identity to them is that of a Criminal.

    It’s only a Megastar like SRK who retains Megastardom for 3 decades, whereas Local star Gangu Telis like Lallu takes dominance for 7 years which is nothing no matter how many blockbusters you give. SRK is far ahead as far as Success Ratio and Hit Ratio is concerned and Lallu the Gangu Teli’s condition there is like a beggar on the streets of Mumbai. If there weren’t any Eid and South Remake or any Boxoffice website I wouldn’t have heard of Lallu the Gangu Teli’s name in this lifetime.???

  • @nn who are you to judge footfalls of boi.com are right or wrong? then whom should i follow for footfalls, you the nanga naach? i have said it many times i follow one and only boi.com when it comes to boxoffice datas and footfalls come under it. salman is way ahead of srk in terms of 2 crores and 3 crores footfalls in overall career which proves when it comes to pull audience to theatres srk is nowhere near salman. and you don’t even believe the collections of boi.com. you are arguing with me that oso was an all time grosser , now tell me where boi.com had said oso is an all time grosser. you only follow the things of boi.com which favours gangu teli, which is not the case with me. actually you zebra fans run from one website to other website and post anything from any website where something is said good about srk.
    and why always these ifs and buts. what would have ra one collected without the 5 day holiday weekend? what would have don 2 collected without xmas? i think these films would have given similar result like fan. salman does not block festivals , but srk has kicked himself out of festivals. after giving disasters like ra one , don 2 and hny on festivals if someone says srk deserves festivals he should be slapped on his face with a boot. salman gave him 2 festivals in 2011 and released his film ready outside edx. what did your gangu teli di? it would have been far better for the industry if ready would have got those festivals, trade has understood it today so everybody supports salman for blocking festivals, otherwise we will get another edx release grossing lower than non holiday release.
    yes when salman does item song like munni and fevicol it is advantage and when srk does it that becomes disadvantage, continue with those funny excuses.
    look at the trailer of airlift , drishyam, dangal and then look at the trailer of raees, raees has all the elements of a commercial potboiler while rustom or airlift looks more for only metros. even fan has actions made on big scale which was not in any of the films i have mentioned above.

    salman is way ahead of srk in each and every boxoffice aspect whether it is bbs, atbbs, hgoty, footfalls, record openers. hgotd in the domestic market. i know zebra fans has always to take shelter of worldwide collections to give srk somekind of respect but verdicts are given on domestic collections, so who cares about them . and even in domestic and worldwide salman is going to become the first actor to touch 10 hgoty this year, so even worldwide cannot save your gangu teli. now you will start giving excusses of multistarrers as we all know zebra fans can only give excuses, excuses of madhuri, multistarrers, genres, sunny leone, festivals and list never ends. but the truth is salman is going to have more boxoffice achivements than srk in overall career and even mirracle can’t save it.

  • @Dishonest Cow-That’s why Lallu fans are called gawar fans, they will eat shit if that is delivered to them on plate. The BOI s data on old films’ footfalls aren’t belieavable at all. If you like to eat shit then eat it, who will forbid you? The same BOI says SRK is the most successful Megastar of all time, because they know lallu was never a star before 2010. Before 2010 he was always the Teesra Khan and will remain so. OSO was declared an ALl time Grosser at the time of its release. It doesn’t matter if today BOI rejects that information. I also follow BOI, but I am not a blind fanatic.

    Hey moron, films becomes niche by their subject matter, by the zone they are made in, not by the inclusion of songs and action. The trailer of Fan and Raees were spectacular because of amazing music and dialogues. But the themes they were based on were niche. One was about a fan chasing a superstar and another was about a Bootlegger’s terrible destiny. WHereas Gobangg, Gobangg 2, Ready, Kick etc were happy films made only to entertain, nothing dark about them and rickshawalas will find them as masterpieces ??? . A sports drama(Dangal) made on Wrestling can never be niche, cause Wrestling itself is massy. Airlift was one of the most universal films Akshay has ever done and films like this real event inspirational stories are getting success nowadays.

    And Mr Gawar Donkey, another thing is lallus so called atbb, bb, hgoty, hgotd are 10-15 films whereas lallu has done some 75-77 films according to BOI (the number might not be accurate but close to it) . Among them not even 50% are successful, among them not even 40% are hits. So what has lallu the Gangu Teli done in 28 years? Has been eating shit like you?

    Yeah, on Pluto planet lallu will give 10 HGOTY worldwide. Eating “bheeks” distributed by Madhuri, Karishma, Sanjay Dutt, Anil Kapoor etc lallu has somewhere to hide his face from shame. Lallu will have more boxoffice achievement but they will only be used to cover up his Legendary streak of Flops and Disasters that he himself cannot keep the count of. A Gangu Teli Local star beaten left, right and centre by Rakhi Sawant dares to be compared with a Global Megastar like SRK. Yuck THoo on Lallu the Gangu Teli. ???

  • @sayar that does not matter today as boi.com has updated the collections of all films . according to the old boi.com dtph, mohabbatein and darr were all not blockbusters. so shame on your gangu teli who has just 7 blockbusters in 25 years. according to old boi.com dabangg was an atbb . so salman has 4 atbbs and srk only 2 ( which is 50% ) of salman . another epic shame for gangu teli. even then i can say boi.com played politics and increased the verdicts of srk films . if you follow boxoffice datas of a website you have to follow everything. you can not follow indicine for something and boi.com for other thing. even i am not happy with boi.com as i know they intentionaly increased the verdicts of srk movies to make him somewhat comparable to salman as they know the rate salman is going now he will reach 15 or 16 bbs very soon but srk will remain stagnant at 7 bbs. but i have to follow that because i follow boi.com’s boxoffice datas and from inside i know they are genius in tracking boxoffice numbers and they are the only website to keep all datas of a film ( from footfalls to lifetime collections to initial or even screen count) in details starting from 90″s and today all websites rejecting producers figures and giving numbers close to boi.com is the biggest victory of boi.com followers. after fighting for almost many years saying that producers like srk and rakesh roshan manipulate their collections shamelessly to show them successfull today we are proved right.

    @nn niche film means a film which is made for a certain section of audience and they also get limited release. look at the screeen count of airlift or rustom or drishyam they are hardly 2200-2300 screens, so they are niche. raees was released on 3400 screens despite of clashing, with a solo release it was a 4000+ screen release. a film releasing on that amount of screens can not be a niche film. and by the way if the makers are eyeing a huge release that means they are also expecting numbers like a commercial potboiler , so how can it be called a niche. drishyam makers released their film on 2200 screens because they know that the film has limited market, but fan makers targeted 3500 screens because they know that the film may not be as commercial as bajrangi bhaijaan( unless it would have been released on 4000+ screens) but was way more commercial than drishyam or airlift.
    hits and success ratio does not prove superstardom, even varun dhawan has very good hit ratio and success ratio but he is not a superstar because he is yet to give a huge grosser , a huge footfall or a record opener. the moment he will start delivering these things he will be considered as a superstar. and the things which proves superstardom like huge footfals and huge grossers salman is way ahead of srk in overall career. salman and srk both has only 1 all time grosser but salman has total 11 films in his career which has entered the top 3 all time grosser list at the time of their release while srk has only 7. salman is also way ahead of srk in terms of 2 crore or 3 crore footfalls which prove in terms of delivering huge grossers salman is way ahead of srk.

  • @Sayar-Bro, I didn’t know about Khilaf, thanks for the information. That means SRK literally has beaten every superstars and stars in Clashes, the all time best.

    @Dishonest Cow-We will follow whatever website as we find appropriate. No website is 100% appropriate. A film’s verdict might change, but it’s collection won’t change. The budgets and verdicts might be adjusted. I am not a blind fanatic that I will blindly follow a single website taking it as Quran or Bible. Anyways, BOI has updated their films and has given SRK the No.1 Megastar of All Time,…Gangu Teli Lallu is way behind.
    Whatever niche films SRK does will get the widest release because he is a Megastar, unless they are extended cameos like Dear Zindagi. SRK himself declared Fan as a niche film before Fan’s release and said it’s not for commercial success. He also mentioned that although Raees was made in a commercial angle, it’s not a universal film, that’s why he gave it a January release, otherwise no point of releasing an SRK film in January with clash. But rickshawalas like you will not understand it. To rickshawalas Gangs of Wasseypur is more commercial than Gobbang. And hey Moron, who told you Hit ratio and Success Ratio don’t decide stardom?? THey are the most important criterias deciding stardom. If Varun Dhawan continues his hit ratio and success ratio for 25 years he will be considered as the leading Superstar. SRK doesn’t only has huge grossers but also have highest Success Ratio and Hit Ratio among all stars who are active from 90’s. Whereas Gangu Teli Lallu has flops after flops. Disasters after Disasters. Just like huge grossers matter so does Flops and Disasters.

    Let’s take a look at Lolman’s career in short
    1991-1994-6 back to back flops

    2009-2010—-3 back to back flops

    Not to mention lost to Rakhi Sawant, 1 year old Ranbir Kapoor, Akshay Kumar and who not? Careers aren’t judged only by the total number of the blockbusters only ( even in that SRK isn’t far behind, he has enough considering he has spent less years in Bollywood compared to lallu the Gangu Teli) when you have the record of back to back biggest disasters. Shame on Lallu the Gangu Teli, whose number of Flops are greater than his number of Hits. In fact he has more number of flops and Disasters than the total number of all the years he spent in Bollywood. ???

    It’s only a Megastar like SRK who retains Megastardom for 3 decades, whereas Local star Gangu Telis like Lallu takes dominance for 7 years which is nothing no matter how many blockbusters you give. SRK is far ahead as far as Success Ratio and Hit Ratio is concerned and Lallu the Gangu Teli’s condition there is like a beggar on the streets of Mumbai. If there weren’t any Eid and South Remake or any Boxoffice website I wouldn’t have heard of Lallu the Gangu Teli’s name in this lifetime.???

  • honest man
    I have given u authentic screenshots. If u are a son of a man then u too give me those ss
    And ya not some edited ss I want authentic ss where Dtph is not a blockbuster

  • @sayar i don’t keep screenshot of old boi.com as i don’t live in past. but your screenshot says itself that mohabbatein earlier was a superhit. and later boi.com has changed it to blockbuster to save srk’s career.
    @nn no website is 100% correct but you are no one to decide which is correct and which is not. you zebra fans do these things because hypocrisy is in your blood and that comment”We will follow whatever website as we find appropriate” shows that. and continue chanting about hit ratio and success ratio because srk fans can only talk about smaller achievements, even if varun dhawan continues his hit ratio and success ratio for 25 years he will not be considered as a superstar because a film made on limited budget watched by hardly 1 crore people in the country can also be a hit, but that does not proves superstardom because the star of the film is not a crowdepuller. but one thing you have to accept that varun dhawan in his early career is much bigger star than srk if i use your logic. because if i consider the first 5 years of srk and varun dhawan’s career , varun dhawan’s hit ratio and success ratio should be way better because he is yet to deliver a flop while srk had delivered many flops in his first five years.

  • @Dishonest Cow-I mentioned the combination of Hit Ratio, Success Ratio and Big grossers. If Varun Dhawan continues his success ratio and hit ratio for 25 years, he is sure to get big grossers also. SRK wasn’t an industry kid like lallu, he had to pave his way to Megastardom by his hard work and Talent. A career spanning 25-28 years with a list of movies over 77 films( in case of Lolman) must include the required Success Ratio and Hit Ratio to judge his career. And today Aamir’s statement says it all, “Stardom lasts for 7-8 years, 25 years of Stardom is has no logical explanation.” That says a lot about 7 year old Lallu the Gangu Teli’s career as he is a 2010 born Non-Actor with failures more than his success. ???

  • @Dishonest Cow-“you zebra fans do these things because hypocrisy” What is more hypocritical? Merging the evaluation of different Boxoffice sites, or posting non-stop comments in spite of Self-declared promise of not commenting anymore..????? If you are a man’s child, then keep your word.

  • @nn if hit ratio and success ratio is the criteria of stardom then varun dhawan was bigger star than srk in his first five years, it’s a conclusion drawn from your statement.
    let’s see your gangu teli’s 25 years dominance. here is the list of the major boxoffice acheivements and the actor who have topped in them ( generation of 90’s actors).

    1. all time blockbusters
    aamir khan(5)
    2. all time grossers
    aamir khan (5)
    3. blockbusters
    salman(12)
    4. highest grosser of the year
    salman(9)
    5. highest grosser of the decade
    salman(2) and aamir(2)
    6. 2 crore footfall films
    salman(12)
    7. 3 crore plus footfall films
    salman(4) and aamir(4)
    8. solo record breaking opening day
    salman(5) and aamir(5)
    9. solo record breaking weekend
    salman(7)
    10 hits
    salman ( after boi.com update numbers can be put. but salman will lead)
    11. successfull films
    akshay kumar
    12. total earning of all films
    akshay kumar
    13. best earning average per film
    aamir khan

    now tell me where is your gangu teli. if he is dominating for 25 years why he is not leading in any thing. so am i not right that srk’s 25 years stardom is like a ghost story?

    and only answer me if you have valid points. unless don’t bore me with your ghisapita ghost stories.

  • @Indicine-Please post.

    @Dishonest Cow-Let’s compare the first five years of lallu(1988-93) and SRK(1992-97) and Varun
    Success Ratio:
    Varun> SRK> lallu

    Hit Ratio
    Varun>lallu> SRK

    Blockbuster Ratio
    SRK(16.7%)>>>lallu(7.14%)> Varun (0)

    Here only SRK is the only outsider, who started from scratch but made it huge. Varun hasn’t even spent 5 years in Bollywood. He is just 4 years old. His fifth year’s movie will be BKD. It’s ludicrous to create ratio of success in hits in such a short span. This comparisons can only be for people who started journey almost within same time span i.e,. Aamil, lallu, SRK, Akshay etc.

    Let’s take SRK’s films’ number as 58 and Lallu’s number as 76 ( adding Chandramukhi and NIshchaiy in Indicine’s filmography, but still the actual number is higher than 76, verdicts from BOI)

    Highest Success Ratio-SRK.
    lallu- ROFL

    Highest Hit Rato-SRK
    lallu-ROFL

    Highest Blockbuster Ratio-SRK (according to BOI) 17.24%
    Lallu -15.8%

    Highest opening day SRK=lallu

    Highest number of Multistarrers-lallu, ROFL
    Highest number of Flops—Lallu, ROFL
    Highest number of Disasters—Lallu, ROFL.

    Let’s not even bring the overseas business here. SRK is lightyears ahead of every Local actor and non-actor of Bollywood.

    Blockbusters and HGOTYs sum up to nothing if one keep giving big flops and Disasters. Lallu has only been consistent after 2010. So the conclusion is Varun is a bigger star than lallu in his first five years although he has no blockbuster but is more consistent. If he continues for 25 years he will be a bigger star than Gangu Teli Lallu. SO it is lallu’s story that is a ghost story and Flop story of bollywood. His main identity is that he is a Criminal and Flop King Gangu Teli. So Don’t ever dare compare him with a Global Megastar SRK.

    And you have proved that you are a Donkey’s child since you keep breaking your word non-stop..!!

  • @Indicine-PLease Post.

    Correction: I considered Baaghi and Pathar Ke Phool as Hits according to Indicine. But According to BOI they are not hits. So even in first five years of their career

    Hit raio: Varun> SRK> lallu the Gangu Teli.

  • Indicine also hasn’t counted Sangdil Sanam in Lallu the Gangu Teli’s filmography in the 90’s which was a huge disaster.

  • @nn this hit and success ratio proves stardom is started by you so why are you bringing salman here. but according to the comparison you have made it clearly shows that varun dhawan was a bigger star than srk in his first five years as varun dhawan is yet to deliver a flop while srk has delivered many flops in his first five years, really gangu teli is a gangu teli in every department.

    i don’t follow this logic of hit and success for me things like blockbusters, huge grosser , big footfalls, giving biggest grosser of the year proves stardom and in those thing salman is way ahead of srk not only today but also in overall career.

  • @Sayar- I’ve read BOI’s question and answer session where they said that SRK was ahead among Khans in the 90’s so when they update their 90’s stat, SRK will take his overall career’s ranking in All Time Best ahead.

    @Dishonest Cow- That’s your hypocrisy that you consider big grossers but don’t consider Flops and Disasters in which your Lallu The Gangu Teli’s record is unbreakable by any Khans. Every leading trade site including BOI considers success ratio and hit ratio while evaluating overall careers, that’s why SRK is ahead in ranking in BOI. I have also included Blockbuster Ratio in which SRK was the only Superstar who was miles ahead in his first five years, so Varun who hasn’t even completed 5 years don’t come into consideration although he is definitely a bigger star than Lallu the Gangu Teli in first five years of his career as he is giving good opening with every films. Anyway it’s distasteful enough to keep talking continuously with someone who supports a “ghatiya” flop-king and criminal so long. So let’s stop the discussion here.

  • @nn i count everything for stardom whether it is blockbuster, all time blockbuster , highest grosser of the year , huge grossers, big footfalls , record openers, what do you want more. i don’t consider hits and success because small stars also can achieve that but the things i have mentioned above can only be achieved by superstars. but you said that hits and successes proves stardom, and when by that logic your star is loosing to varun dhawan you are suddenly adding blockbusters into it, that’s hypocrisy because you are not sticking to your words. and why only blockbusters, why not add all time blockbuster ratio , hgoty ratio in it, in those things salman was ahead of srk in his first five years.

  • @Indicine-Please post. What’s the problem with my comment?
    What the hell is All Time Blockbuster ratio and HGOTY ratio? SRK had 2 solo HGOTY and and lallu had 1, if you want to include Saajan which had Sanjay Dutt in the main lead then fine, that only proves that lallu was dependent on multistarrers before 2010.
    Marigold can’t be achieved by Superstars. Losing a clash with Rakhi Sawant in opening, lifetime with an ambitious big budget project can’t be achieved by superstars. 7 back to back flops, that too multiple times in 2 decades can’t be achieved by superstars. Losing most of the prominent clashes with others stars/actors can’t be achieved by Superstars. If they achieve all this then their big hits can be called flukes. I have mentioned that these stats like hit ratio and success ratio can only be applied to stars with the same career period. Varun Dhawan hasn’t even completed 5 years. Most importantly superstars can’t give more failures than success. If you follow BOI verdicts, lallu has to go a long way before evening out his failures and success. But SRK can strengthen his lead in Success ratio, Hit ratio and Blockbuster ratio for a long time to go. Most websites use hit ratio, success ratio and blockbuster ratio for judging overall careers. And kindly stop this argument here. There is a saying-Form is temporary and class is permanent.

  • @Indicine-Please post. WHat’s wrong with it that you are blocking again and again? I’ve not written anything offensive.

    Most trade sites use Hit ratio, Success Ratio and Blockbuster ratio for judging overall career. What the hell is All Time Blockbuster ratio and HGOTY ratio? SRK had 2 solo HGOTY and and lallu had 1, out of 24 and 14 films respectively. If you want to include Saajan which had Sanjay Dutt in the main lead then fine, that only proves that lallu was dependent on multistarrers before 2010.
