as an actor salman is far behind Aamir, Akki, Ajay and even SRK
housefull-2 is copied from b-grade telugu film premabhishakam staring comedians venu madhav and ali lot of ppl dont knw tht and rowdy rathore is also a remake akki survived or revived his careers with these films he dozens flops 2008-2011…he is considered as A-lister from 2007….ajay is far better actor thn akki even anil,govinda given some intense performances ..i think is first movie of akki with proper script and akki fans r comparing with aamir,shahrukh…salman did phir milenge,terenaam,kyunk ki but audience never accepted..but he did offbeat roles..important spl 26 is a commericial film with love angle and heist or con film…its not offbeat film like TZP or chak de india to show acting prowess…
In single year
namastey london(family-drama)
bhool bhulaiya(comedy-drama)
heyy babyy(comedy)
welcome(action comedy)
all critically and commercialy succesful. If khans have power than record a year like this. Then talk. Its my open challenge to everyone.
Dhobi ghat, budget 30 cr and is called a art movie after it showed bad results.
London dreams, a movie made on bugdet 28 cr and collected 15 cr by stardom of sallu and ajay.
Ra 1, budget 135 cr, 80 cr spent on promotions and result? Lost 20 cr if only consider budget.
What are all talking about??
If you watch omg and did not include akki it will be useless and baseless. Who will chande bible with geeta? Who will save kanji? Who will teach kanji a lesson? Songs will be baseless accept go govinda, as akki appears in every song. Song mere nishan, whose nishans???, its aaki’s.
@jag 4-5 hits are multistarrers…not solo films..initially he got hits from comedy but he was dependent on paresh rawal and Johnny lever. he gave his first solo blockbuster with Rowdy rathore which was remake…
“OMG was paresh rawel’s film all the way.. akki was in a guest apperance in that movie”
that notion is fell flat when akki was nominated for best supporting actor for OMG haha, and even won an award for it. Also Aamir was not in the guest role in Dobhi ghat, he was playing one of the lead actors if anyone seen the film. One could use a logic by saying srk had a guest role in Deewana if they want to use the logic that akki was in guest role. Salman khan is not a true superstar because a true superstar would at least know how to act, something like BigB, srk, aamir, dilip kumar, god knows who would remember his films after 20 years. Those who say akki has not got biggest grosser of the year, can they give me any superstars from current generation gave 4 out of 4 worldwide superhits in one calender year?
Akshay kumar has some gritty memorable films, and tell me one actor who could do what akki did in Khiladiyon ka khiladi? no such ropes were there in that period, salman as an action hero is laughable because he was not considered an action hero in his 21 years career, all of a sudden he does wanted and people compare him to legendary action heroes, sunny deol, akki who did action since the begining which the time when you actually do action. Why wasn’t salman casted in action role initially? because he did not have that action hero appearance and physique, salman said himself directors were not willing to cast him in action role initially because of his height, skinny body, baby face, untill he took steroids and pumped his body. Akki when he came from his first film had the physical presence, tall height, flexible body, martial arts background. Salman being an action hero is laughable, as all of them are spoof, not a serious action film like sunny did, suniel did, ajay, akki did in the beginning of their career.

@ank_16 wat abt akki before 2007 he is A-lister from 2007 -2013 SRK,SAlman and aamir even hritik is a_lister
King kumar rocks. the only complete actor in the history of Indian cinema after Mr Bachan. khans look kids in front of akki
WOW, that figures of 1988 to 2012 just nails it. Salman is the best to bank upon, followed by SRK and Aamir.
Akshay is a good star, i like his movies, but not as bankable as others.
****** Spoilers Alert********
1. The climax shows that Jimmy Shergill is Akshay Kumar’s companion and they all are partners in crime. So, why the hell did he get in touch with the real CBI? No one could testify against them for the first heist on the minister’s house. There were no witnesses, except the Minister himself who did not want to report the heist. Jimmy also identifies Anupam Kher and thus the entire group. Why? They could have gone about conducting many such raids before the needle of suspicion actually falling on them. This is my biggest grouse with the movie, that the entire film was a sham and there was no need at all for the real CBI, and thus Waseem Khan in the picture. And without them, there would have been no real drama.
2. Why did Jimmy Shergill, Diva Dutta, and their fake Police commissioner go the minister’s house after the heist? Just to conduct a drama to mislead the audience? Like normal criminals were they not expected to have a fear of getting caught while they returned to the scene of the crime, and that too for staging an act? On a related note, why did JS and Divya Dutta keep waiting in front of the Minister’s house after the fake raid, while making tensed faces at the camera? Again, to fool the audience?
3. Assuming there is some valid reason for JS to involve the real CBI and thus planting a time bomb behind all of their asses. Why the hell did Waseem Khan allow the show to go on. He could have apprehended them and made them confess. Just like he made Anupam Kher confess. There was no need for the drama. In other words, the characters of the movie behaved as if they knew a movie is going to be made on the events they are involved in, and they wanted it to be as spicy as possible.
4. Why did the owner of the jewel shop agree to Waseem Khan’s proposition? If they wanted to nab the culprits, he was at the complete liberty to refuse cooperation. He was made the subject of an experiment by the real CBI, which ultimately led to his devastation. Even after this huge goof up, Waseem Khan is still shown as a CBI officer and obviously still as eager to catch the culprits. But how the hell did he stick to his job after his pathetic show.
The above four points are my broad issues with the logic of the events shown in the film. The following are some of the issues I had with the execution of the film. These things were more glaring as the film is being projected as an intelligent, no frills heist drama, which is out of the ordinary.
Redundant first half: The climax just reinforces that the movie Special 26 is based entirely on the final act which lasted for about an hour or so. The first half has many unnecessary scenes and sequences just to add to the length of the film. The initial heist is fantastic, and creates tremendous curiosity. But from there on, the first half is an exercise in futility.
What was the need of the wedding sequence? Just to show a celebration song. This is akin to creating a song situation in a Masala movie.
The romantic angle is so insipid and irrelevant to the plot that it can be seamlessly edited from the movie, without actually disturbing the rest of the screenplay. The 30-40 minutes thus saved could have elevated the movie to the next level (at least in the eyes of those who don’t think there are any logical holes/plot holes).
What was the need to show the Kolkota heist? It has been done really well, and is really entertaining to watch. But like we get to know later in the movie, the group had conducted 50 raids in their career. Like we didn’t get to see the first forty seven, there was no real need for them to show the 49th either.
The chase sequence of Manoj Bajpayee in CP is superb. But again, it was not connected to the the movie in any ways. Did it really need to be so long? They could have connected this chase to the rest of the plot to make the movie more seamless.
The detailing of the film is pretty good, especially in the Delhi sequences. But when the action shifts to Mumbai, the VFX is so in your face that it becomes unsettling. Especially the scenes which have the sea as a backdrop. The green wall to sea conversion is pretty substandard.

some people claim akshay does not have top grossers, why they don’t show does other actors have 4 outright worldwide hit in 1 calender year? no answers. so that makes him a superstar
“@ank_16 wat abt akki before 2007 he is A-lister from 2007 -2013 SRK,SAlman and aamir even hritik is a_liste”
akshay was an a list actor from 1994 till 1996, he was always touted to be big but chose wrong movies, mohra and main khiladi tu aneri were the years biggest openers, KKK opened big to, salman was not even an a list actor last decade, he gave 3 clean hit only if we take his special cameo in no entry and bhagban out.
akshay do 5 movie in the year nd 4 movie was hit…….salman do 2 movie nd 2 was hit.akshay lead salman with two movie.@naam hai boss-akshay………chulbul pandey lallu.keval action wo bhi computer se………salmannnn khan superstar a joke.
