Q. When The FAN Trailer Is coming? How Many Songs In The Movie FAN?
A. The FAN trailer is expected in about 15-20 days from now. YRF doesn’t have a date for the trailer yet. As for the songs, there are reports that there are 3 songs in the film. Two are likely to be promotional tracks. The report is unconfirmed, as YRF is secretive about the project. Vishal – Shekhar are composing the music.
Q. What is the worldwide collection of Airlift?
A. It’s approximately Rs 204 crore worldwide, Akshay Kumar’s highest worldwide grosser to date.
Q. Footfalls of Airlift till second week?
A. About 1 – 1.05 crore footfalls (tickets sold) till the end of second week.
Q. What is the production budget of Mohenjo daro? And when is the shooting supposed to finish?
A. Production budget including Hrithik’s fee could cross Rs 120 crore. Too early to talk about the budget, as the film is currently on the floors. Hrithik’s injury has delayed the shoot by a few weeks.
Q. Why is trade already considering Jagga Jasoos as Flop? Reshooting is for betterment of a movie so why its taken in a negative way? Anushman
A. Jagga Jasoos has been in the making for a long time now and there have been reports that the makers themselves are not happy with the way the film has shaped up. While they have also denied reports of scenes being reshot, the pre-release reports are not very positive. It happened with films like Bombay Velvet too and the audience, especially at metro cities, is well aware of this. However, Jagga Jasoos should still take a reasonably good opening if the trailer impresses.
Q. How much screens will FAN get? It’s a solo release? – Ehtesham
A. Shah Rukh Khan commands a strong fan-following in every territory in India. So even though it’s a niche film (unlikely to hold mass appeal), it should still release on 3500 plus screens in India.
Q. What’s your opinion of masala film after the underperformance of Dilwale, has masala genre died because films like Jai Ho, Singh is Bling, Action Jackson were flops at box office too?
A. A genre doesn’t die when one or two films fail at the box office, the ‘south style masala films’ were overdone when a few films like Ghajini, Dabangg, Rowdy Rathore worked at the box office. Unfortunately, a lot of films that released weren’t entertaining enough for the audience to come out in big numbers. Having said that, a well made entertaining film will still work, like we have seen with films like Kick, Chennai Express. Even Bajrangi Bhaijaan can be put in the same category as ‘masala’ is nothing but a combination of action, comedy, romance. BB had a social message and a good story to tell too. As for Dilwale, it wasn’t rejected by the audience. 150 crore is a big number and had it released solo, it would have easily crossed the 200 crore mark. The audience had two choices last Christmas, a film that promised a difference experience, a magnum opus that provided better value-for-money, they opted for it instead of a routine Rohit Shetty entertainer. Even Om Shanti Om wouldn’t have done as well as it did, if it was competing against a Bajirao Mastani instead of Saawariya.
Q. Bajirao Mastani is a box office Hit but is there any chance for it in TV though it is a niche film?
A. Definitely. Baahubali fetched excellent TRP’s on television and Bajirao Mastani’s tv premiere will also be keenly-awaited. It’ll be a huge, the satellite rights have fetched an excellent price too.
Q. What about Raees and Sultan clash, both are big films and definitely every one would love to watch both films. So will the clash be averted?
A. So far, there hasn’t been any news from both sides regarding the clash. There is a long way for the shoot of Sultan to be wrapped up. But we’ve now been hearing in the last few days from trade sources, that both YRF and Excel/Red Chillies want to work out a solution and possibly avert the clash.
Q. Box office is in loss in January due to flop films except Airlift?
A. Airlift was the biggest success and by far the biggest grosser. A couple of films recovered costs, all other movies failed. We have a detailed report on January 2016
Q. What is your take on Shahid Kapoor upcoming movies and his career after the release? Please give details. @fans from Nepal
A. He has two films Udta Punjab and Rangoon – both are unlikely to hold universal appeal and both will rely on word-of-mouth. Shahid’s career has always looked promising, but his films haven’t worked at the box office. That has to change and change very quick if he has to compete with rising stars like Varun and Ranveer. Only when his films work will more commercial and bigger directors sign him for their films. Talent alone is not enough in the industry, unfortunately. It’s about choosing and doing the right films.
Q. What could be the opening day figure of Housefull 3?
A. Should be 20 crore plus on a non-holiday. Certain to be Akshay’s biggest non-holiday opening.
Q. After Airlift’s phenomenal success, can Housefull 3 do 200 crore? Housefull 2 managed 110 with extremely negative reviews and average word-of-mouth? – Gajendra
A. Housefull 2 had positive word-of-mouth and the film was liked both by the multiplex and single-screen audience. Such films never get positive reviews, it’s only the audience reviews that matter at the end of the day. Unlike Airlift, Housefull 3 has wider appeal and hence has the potential to do 200 crore. But for that the film has to be entertaining.
Q. Fitoor or Sanam Re, which film has more buzz and which one will open better? – Priya
A. The music of Sanam Re has done well and T-Series is going all out to promote it. But Fitoor should still manage a better opening because of Katrina Kaif’s presence, she’s still a big star. Sanam Re has no star value.
Q. Is SRK the biggest crowd puller in overseas and who is No.1 in overseas among 3 Khan’s? Which will be bigger hit between Fan & Raees?
A. SRK’s overseas record is staggering. Which was his last film that did not perform well overseas? We do not know. Every film works, most work big. With Dilwale, he’s yet again proved that he’s the biggest crowd puller in the traditional market, as not only did a successful film like Bajirao Mastani release, but Star Wars also released during the same period. Dilwale has also set records in several non-traditional countries, but the collections are not as big as PK in China, which is why it doesn’t hit headlines.
Q. When the National film awards 2016. Will be given? According to you who should win Best actor National award in Bollywood?
A. National Awards 2016 will be announced on April 16, will be given / presented on May 3rd. Best Actor is picked from all languages and not just from Bollywood – we are not too sure about the top performances other film industries.
Q. How many Bollywood films have crossed the 100 crore mark worldwide and how many have crossed the 200 crore mark worldwide (both figures in gross)?
A. We will do an article on this. Too many to list here.
Q. Any movie Hrithik signed after Mohenjo Daro? Any updates about Thug or Dhoom 4 or Kabir Khan’s movie? – Sam
A. He will be doing a film with Sanjay Gupta (Kaabil) followed by a film with Kabir Khan.
Q. If Shivaay works among masses and Ae Dil Hai Mushkil work among classes, then which movie will earn more? – Chanakya
A. There is no question of such movies working at the box office, if they fail at multiplexes. The contribution of multiplexes is more than 80-85% for most films and even universal blockbusters the ratio is 65-70 at multiplexes vs 30-35 at single-screens.
Q. Can Rustom outgross Airlift if the content is strong?can it do 150crs even with clash? What kind of opening can it take? Your views.
A. Too early to talk about Rustom. Let the trailer release.
Q. Is Salman’s current stardom that started post wanted bigger than anything witnessed before across generation? (Compared to biggest superstars of all time like Dilip Sahab, Mr. Bachan, Rajesh Khanna)
A. We haven’t really experienced the superstardom of Bachchan or Khanna. The footfalls of Bachchan movies used to be much higher than Salman Khan films of today. But that could be due to various reasons – more entertainment options, piracy, ticket prices etc etc. But no other actors has so many back-to-back blockbusters / all time blockbusters like Salman.
Q. Do you think that single screens will accept content driven films like FAN?
A. Doubtful, but lets wait and see. It would depend on how entertaining the film is. It’s also difficult to predict what ‘clicks’ with the audience. A good film like Baby doesn’t do as well as it should, but Airlift takes off and does very well. Box office is very unpredictable, anything can happen.
Q. I love Abhay Deol acting, so i want to know what are Abhay Deol upcoming films? – Jassi
A. Abhay Deol has signed Dulha Mil Gaya director’s Mudassar Aziz, co-produced by Aanand L Rai (Tanu Weds Manu Returns). Diana Penty of Cocktail fame has been cast opposite him.
Q. Why the Akshay Kumar is still not able cross 150 Crore mark after getting fantastic starts.. Movies like Baby and Airlift and with Positive word of mouth?
A. That’s because of the limited appeal of the film. Airlift was a thriller, it’s not what we’d call a ‘wholesome entertainer’. Because of this, the film performance well at 35-40 odd cities in the country. A better example would be Chak De India and Om Shanti Om, the former is a much better film, but the later more entertainer and massy – which is why it was a much bigger grosser. Taalash is another example, even if its a classic must watch film, it won’t gross half as much as PK / Dhoom 3.
25 questions were answered today, we will answer more questions tomorrow. Like always, thank you for your support.
Akshay khiladi is true bankable star even for small directors producers
Doesn’t need big banners doesn’t need big heroines … One man industry
I think enough defending Dilwale. Why are we going into scenarios like if no clash, audience had a choice, could have crossed 200.
The reality is distributors lost money and everyone was telling that even before SRK refunded. With srks refund it’s proof. Verdict don’t depend on what if scenarios !!!
It all depends on profits, ROI etc. It might be blockbuster in overseas but in India it was way below … No one expects a Khan film to wrap under 150 on a holiday… It’s flop in India as simple as that !!
If we are interested in what if I can say that dilwale if it would have released on non holiday would have not crossed 120. If it would have released on a non holiday with clash with just 1 open week it would have done 100-105… There cAn be 10 what ifs … Let’s not get into that
If we genuinely are interested in what if I can openly say if veer released today it will do 200 as Salman is unstoppable … Do Salman fans say that ? In fact no one gives more excuses than SRK fans!!! Like Ra.one grossed 5 crores more than budget so it is hit. Since when did 5 crore become hit because if such a thin margin is there I am sure many regions would have underperformed and lost money. MNIK was splendid in overseas – this is a classic reason when film does not do well in India
At least Aamir fans don’t argue and accept talaash was not supposed to be 100 crore affair… Uff SRK fans !! Grow up and stop running what ifs… Ideal world we would have just 1 star – SRK but it is not ideal.
Dilwale had everything – SRK , Xmas, Rohit Shetty, chartbuster songs, SRK – Kajol , Varun after badlapur, ABCD 2, Shady deal with PVR and getting more screens in biggest multiplex chain … Come on !!
Thanks indicine for answering my question and Ajay fans should also thank me because of me atleast one question related to ajay get answer otherwise everyone ignore ajay
isnt shahid kapoor the chutiya #1 of the bollywood film industry?
@NVS great Comment Dude Awesome !
Whoa! Indicine replied me out of so many users ? That was completely unexpected ?? Thanks that’s my first time ?
what was TRP of singh is bling?
@Chanakya as if that you have obliged on ajay and his fans? Who are you? What’s your identity to talk about superstar ajay devgn. No one ignores ajay except for this cheap fake site. Ajay is loved by masses and no one can ignore him. He is baap of your idol so shut up.
@NVS – Brilliant. What an answer. I too agree that only Salman = Amitabh. And if I have to pick I tool would pick Salman, because I was not living in Amitji’s era. So no disrespect here but Salman is the only one to have reach those heights…Post 2009 it is just crazy.
Early on, I did agree when people said all khans are equal. But post Wanted, Salman has marched ahead !! I personally think Salman can not give a flop for next 3-4 years at least. Not just flop, his movies will at least get superhit status…I think he will sustain the longest…Srk too will but mostly dependent on overseas success…Salman will be domestic plus overseas
@Dangal ATBB this december – Aamir is a brilliant actor but with all due respect we are talking about stardom, megastardom.
A superstar is someone who can sustain a movie on his shoulders. Aamir has broken records whenever he had a brilliant script in his hand and some of the finest directors. He loves his craft and goes deep into the character. That is why I personally wait for some of Aamir’s films. 3 idiots was so entertaining – I watched it 3 times, such was the repeat value (but then the repeat value was because it was a good film. ) same can be said for ghajini wherein aamir, a chocolate boy before that literally worked on his physique and was not expected out of aamir to look so macho. Works hard and will never take that from him.
The reason Salman and Srk compete is they can get people in theatres with ordinary scripts (Srk, in recent years has lost that and now it is Salman). Both Salman and Srk are great actors but if needed can do more movies and yet be successful. For, ex : Salman had 2 releases last year. BB was ATBB while PRDP was superhit. He released 2 movies yet Salman managed to bring people in theatres. Srk and Salman even with negative WOM and sometimes poor direction can get money flowing (Again Srk in recent years has lost that).
Salman can pull off movies like Kick, PRDP exceedingly well and get money for his producers even if critics trash the movie badly. Was Ready or Bodyguard as good as Dabbang ? No, right but he still got money flowing…That is because of craze which can’t be explained. Superstars are that way. Same was for Amitabh I have heard when he played his angry young man in Sholay, Deewar etc. and repeated the same style.
Salman when he does movies with brilliant WOM gives us BB. But even with negative WOM he can get good collections and a blockbuster status. Aamir needs a brilliant script to get big collections which I must say Salman does not. Salman gives a blockbuster with directors like Arbaz, Sajid….That’s his craze among audience..
Also, given that Salman has done more movies, he has bit of an advantage. He has had more clean hits, blockbusters and atbb….his last 7 years in fact has – wanted, ready, dabbang, bodyguard, dabbang 2, bb, kick, prdp, ek tha tiger with only jai ho as average/underperformance which I admit. That is like 9 hits/superhits/bb/atbb, which is close to Aamir’s total hits in his 27 year old career. That’s frank opinion….
In fact, sorry to hurt you but his collections might not match aamir but even hrithik, ajay, akshay are close to aamir in stardom (just a little less). Salman is way ahead.
And I know Srk fans are going to come after me. But I will appreciate we talk with facts and not pass vague statements. If you have links to prove that Ra.one, HNY and Dilwale were not underperformers, I am ready to debate. Otherwise, I need not because you can give whatever verdict you want if that keeps happy :)
If it keeps you happy, you can put all 3 above in bb/atbb category…But truth rarely changes.
Also, SRK fans, I appreciate proper debate. If you unnecessarily pass statements on Salman, I will make sure, I rip apart Fan and Raees. I have given proper analysis. You can come up with facts and valid arguments, I will respond. But don’t mess with stupid statements, else I will have you folks on backfoot as your star does not need heavy criticism especially at a time, when he is at risk of free-fall….It’s not like I hate Srk, in fact I don’t hate any star but if someone messes with salman and twists facts which srk fans usually do, I make sure, I go all guns blazing.
Otherwise, I am a movie buff and will watch good movie of any star, be it Srk, Aamir, Akki, Hrithik (except Saif :P).
@AK Fan – One more talking about last decade…I assume you are Aamirs fan….If we are talking years before 2010, let me tell you Aamir was not even considered a superstat before Ghajini…
Infact Aamir through out 90s was one level below Salman and Srk. Even his so called successes such as Ghulam, Ishq, Sarfarosh have been put just above average by indicine. While his movies such as mann, mela, 1947 earth were flop. After QSQT, do you even realize how many flops and average movies did aamir give for next few years. Even the so called Rangeela was also average. Aamir’s first atbb came after 8 years with Raja Hindustani. Before that Salman had hahk the biggest hit of decade…
Mangal Pandey where he took 4 years was flop. Dil chahta hai was again popular with younger gen but to be frank collectionwise it was again above average, not some blockbuster or atbb…
Aamir has 5 bb/atbb out of which 4 are after 2008…That is why I say if I dig past, I will silence everyone…Inspite of being so choosy this is what is his hit ratio :
Hit Ratio (Hit or better) – 28.2%. Don’t you think it is less if someone takes 2 years to make a movie…Lol….Aamir even in his so called golden era has had 2 average fares – DG and Talaash. Salman’s average fare Jai ho at least managed 100 crores plus…Talaash failed to even do that while DG was 14 crores….Aamir’s production peepli live did better which did not even have him :)
I am sure today salman can do any movie and opening can’t be less than 14 forget lifetime of 14….
Aamir in his career has done just 39 movies and do you know he gave 3 disasters 10 flops and 5 below averages…even after doing so less movies, how can someone fail so miserably
Shahid will sort of rise like Akshay !! Akshay today is one of the biggest stars but in 90s he was even considered below Govinda. We don’t have govinda today but Akshay is competing with Khans and is in top 5 with 3 Khans and Hrithik.
Shahid will do well in second phase of career…He has talent, it’s just that sometimes it takes time.
Fan will do anything between 100 (negative wom) – 140 (positive wom) in india. Cant do more than 140 even with positive wom.
But Fan is essential for Srk. Sometimes its about winning back the trust of neutral fans as die hard fans will always come for your movies but you need to sell those extra tickets to do business like 250-300 crores and you need support of other stars fans…Fan if good content and positive wom will help Srk in clash with Sultan which is absolutely essential !!! It will be fresh in memory
But if even Fan fails to get Srk required positivity, difficult to win against salman. Except, Chennai Xpress, almost all Srk movies are either hit (Jthj, don2), average (ra.one, dilwale) or flop (billu) in india…On the other hand Salman has maximu bb, atbb this decade. For Srk it is just Chennai Xpress in last 7 years
@Nvs salman in best phase of his career is still below average phase of srk’s career in terms of opening. Proof 1 Ra1 was bigger second day that bodyguard’s opening day despite huge negativity. Proof 2 – dilwale opening day on non holiday with clash and less number of screen was equal or almost equal to prdp (holiday release solo and 4000 screen) in many circuit like West Bengal, Bihar nizam Mysore Tamil Kerala etc. so leave alone srk’s best phase from 1993-2008 when srk average like koyla, Chahat, josh badshah etc movies used to open more than Salmans hit movie. It’s is srk’s unluck since 2011 that his movie couldn’t capitalize its record opening.
Salman and Rajesh khanna have similar kind of stardom
Dilip kumar, big B and Srk similar stardom infact srk is more consistent among three. BigB superstardom lasted in 1990 and could not even make top 5 after that. Dilip Saab stardom was spread from 50 decade to mid 60s. He gave many flop post 70s like dunya, mashal, izzat daar, kanoon apna apna, Gopi etc as a lead star. Srk is only consistent superstar and big opener since 1992 (deewana).
Where are today’s #AskIndicine question and answers?
@sht – because of wide releases opening have become easier now… But overall no film of SRK has managed even a superhit status except chennai express
All ra.one, dilwale, jthj, don 2, mnik and hny are either hit or average. Some have even lost money in few circuit. If not for wide releases on 3000 plus screens only because of opening due to holidays have his movies managed hit or average status. If any of srks movie would have released before 90s they would have flopped because early days it was sustaining for 25-50 weeks due to less screens. I don’t think SRK would have survived back then.
And when we talk about megastardom it’s about craze. SRK frankly speaking never had streak of bb like Salman no one has such a streak. Out of last 8 Salman movies 7 are bb/atbb with only Jai Ho average. The best phase of SRK you taking about had many duds like phir bhi dil, one 2 ka four, paheli, swades, billu, etc. Name one SRK streak which has clean BB/ATBB in line like dabbang, ready, bodyguard, dabbang2, ett, Jai Ho, kick,bb and prdp. Only Jai Ho was average rest 7 are either bb or atbb
Major SRK success which you will quote will be superhit but not blockbuster. Even if he gives a blockbuster or atbb like kuch kuch hota hai I am sure such a streak won’t be there and there will always be a movie like duplicate yes boss in between which can’t be a blockbuster but just s hit…
I challenge you to show me such a streak which has even 5 BB verdict in row forget 7…
@sht – even in your so called 90s where you put SRK ahead don’t forget HAHK had the highest footfalls
@sht – if you are so sure of SRK stardom , let’s see if any of SRK movies cross 300 this year.
Remember Salman is already at 320 in India … SRK is yet to cross 250
SRK this decade has played catch up to Salman and am sure to cross 300 SRK will take 2 more years … Salman would have crossed 500 by then
@Chanakya. Clone.
Oh thanks alot for asking about AD.. but lemme ask you a question…is it that you actually asked Indicine because you had mercy for Ajay or you thought it was a reasonable question. Both being the case you just proved you are either non ambitious jobless fan or a fool..only a fool will come out and say /brag that a celeb fan should thank him for asking ANTIADCIN….
By the way most SRK big hits were multi starrers
K3G (Big b Hrithik Kajol Kareena … Best star cast of that time as Kajol was still top heroine during that time while Hrithik Kareena pair)
KANK
KHNH (Saif after dil chahta hai , Preity one of the top back then )
Mohabatein ( Benefited as also marketed as big b comeback)
Even kkhh had Salman in entire half post interval
SRK has always needed big banners top heroines etc. Plus media
Salman can make Arbaaz Khan film atbb !!!! Only phase wherein SRK was slightly ahead was after legal trouble started for Salman still he did give hits like tere naam no entry mujhe he shaadi karegi partner etc even when he was going through so much
Anyways I am really waiting for fan. That will be srks straight 3rd movie to miss 200 and second to miss 150
Varun solo starrer like ABCD 2 and Sid starrer Ek villain cross 100. If SRK can’t do 150 then what’s the point ? Btw even flop stars like Arjun cross 100
If SRK will struggle with 125 for fan I guess compare him with new stars not Salman
A superstar should be able to do at least 2 times stars with less than 10 films. Once is okay but 3 times in row will not be acceptable
what is the meaning of footfalls,
According to u…which movie can beat the lifetime collection of BB/pk in this year?
@Flopbuster Salman you idiot, your lallu panjy gave more than 50 flops in his career. Aamir’s nome of movies have been as low as marigold which was only 1 Cr life time. Ha ha ha talking about opening? We all know that main aur Mrs khanna’s life time was as big as the opening of talaash. Stardom my foot? Lallu was lucky that he worked with madhuri, more masala movies and that’s how that biggest lallu panjy none actor existed in Bollywood. He never was and never will be as big as megastar aamir khan. Ley your flopstar lallu do talaash and release kn non holiday. It will tank badly below 60 Cr. Because that’s his real aukaat without eid, diwali and masala remakes. Megastar aamir khan always has been much bigger star than puny star lallu. Lallu gas given countless flops and disasters which I cant even count here vecauS the list is too long and will even make you cry. Your lallu’s so called great movie BB also failed to break PK’s record. He also couldn’t break 3 idkots record for 5 years. Which only megastar aamir khan broke himself with dhoom 3. And his kick also couldn’t come anywhere close to dhoom 3. And you idiot lallu fan, your lallu has given more flops in 1990s then megastar aamir khan. His films like patthar ke fool, biwi ho to aisi, love, suryavanshi,veergati, majhdhaar, ek ladka ek ladki, nishchay, jagruti, bandhan, janam samja karo, chand ka tukda, sangdil sanam, they all were flops. So better shut your mouth. Mangal pandey’s opening was much bigger than flop opening of maine remake kyon kiya which also released in the same year. Also if lallu had done talaash and released in the same time then its opening would have been lower than 10 cr. It would have earned much less if it wasn’t for aamir. Without aamir talaash with any other stars would have failed badly including lallu. This year, dangal will earn much more than lallu’s loltan. So wait and watch out for. You all bhojpuri actor’s bhojpuri fans are gawaar illiterate and you are in no position to talk about the baap of all superstars which is megastar aamir khan. No one can compete with global megastar aamir khan.
@Blockbuster Salman, sorry if I hurt you with previous comment, but truth is Salman is great entertainer, but we are yet to see his real stardom with movie like talaash. You are talking that Salman doesn’t need good scripts then tell me why his movies used to glop badly in last decades. Why his movies were not even getting face saving opening forget being hits. Even aamir’s so called flop Mangal Pandey took record breaking opening and even srk fans are aware of it. Wjrte was Salman before 2010? Kindly answer me. Dont give stupid excuses. Salman is just an eye candy and entertainer which illiterate audience like. He is just popular among illiterate masses who lack IQ and brain. There is no comparison between class actor like aamir and an eye candy non actor entertainer Salman. Aamir is in his own league and he is global megastar who has truly made Indian cinema proud. No one knows or cares about Salman in overseas. That’s the difference. Salman so gets lucky with eid, diwali and Christmas. PRDP was a solo release and if would have flopped badly if it faced clash and didnt get extended weekend advantage. Also BB’s credid doesnt go to Salman alone. It was powerful script and kabir khan is great director and he should get major credit for the success of BB. It doesn’t go to salman alone. Salman is great entertainer but comparing him with megastar aamir khan is a rubbish joke.
What do you think a newcomer (Actor) should focus on – Content oriented Movies which generally have less appeal or Mass Entertainer (Masala) Movies ?
@AK fan – if Aamir spends so much time on 1 movie why is his success ratio just 28
Why did it take him 7 years to give 1 atbb
Why did talaash not cross 100 but Jai Ho did ? Acc to you Jai Ho had negative wom while talaash was positive wom
Why does Aamir not have 8 hits in row ?
What is Aamir without Raju ?
Salman has 6 BB and 5 ATBB. Why does Aamir just have 5 in total ?
Salmans movie has higher footfall and if Madhuri is responsible then
1. 3 idiots – Chetan Bhagat Raju Vidhu Kareena are responsible
2. PK – protests are responsible
3. Dhoom 3 – franchisee
4. Raja Hindustani – Karishma responsible
Sadly Aamir does not have mor bb/atbb in 27 year old career
Salman has 4 just in last 3 years :)
By the way you are talking like s gawar… Just check your language and you will realise who is gawar ?
@Dangal ATBB – bro why doing masala movies is for illiterate ? This is so wrong !! Why are masses below iQ
In that case Amitji used to do masses movie. You won’t recognise him too ? Were his fans below iq.
Same way South Indian potboilers by Rajnikanth or in Telugu industry by Chiranjeevi etc are also for below IQ is it ? What is wrong with masses ? Are people with less money stupid is it ?
Btw Salman has done some really good movies and proved his mettle with acting too – tere naam, bb, Andaz Apna Apna (Aamir was also brilliant), hum dil de chuke sanam where he stole the show even though Ajay was there and ajaybis s good actor, khamoshi (although flop he was great and this movie made SLB famous ), baghban etc.. He has acted well in some movies it’s just that he is preferred more in masala genre like kick, ett, dabbang etc.
Also I agree Kabir Khan is also responsible for bb success but you should agree Salman in major part of his career neither did he work with big banners nor did he work with big directors… If Aamir gives bb with Raju and Ashutosh Salman with arbaz, Sajid etc… Now who are better directors ?
Salman sometimes does films to even save careers of his buddies like partner, no entry which not only become hits but the point is he signed because his friend were going through low phases
Mangal Pandey was bound to open because it was after 4 years but still it was an underperformer… Salman on the other hand today gave 7 BB/atbb between 2011–2015
Aamirs total by/atbb are just 4. Salman has 11. Aamirs success rate is 28 percent only inspite of taking years to finish a movie
I am sure dangal will test Aamir and the movie will wrap below 200
@Flopbuster Salman first uoy beter check your language to talk rubbish against the biggest megastar of Bollywood aamir khan. Who are you questioning aamir’s success. First look yourself in the mirror first. You gawaar idiot. We all know how many blockbusters Salman has without rajashree, multistarrers, south remakes, eid, Christmas and franchise. Answer is 0.
1. MPK- rajashree
2. HAHK- rajashree/madhuri’s acting
3. KA- mulristarrer
4. Partner- multistarrer
5. Dabangg- eid/masala genre
6. Ready- south remake
7. Bodyguard- south remake
8. ETT- eid / yrf/katrina
9. Dabangg 2- franchise and aamir’s made Christmas
10. Kick- south remake
11. BB- kabir khan, harshali.
Now tell me you stupid illiterate how many blockbusters salamb have without above factors? If aamir movies are successfull because of raju hirani or franchise then so all Salman movies are hits because of south remakes, kabir khan, eid, rajashree, and multi starters. Salamn is never worth comparing megastar aamir khan. Aamir always was, is and will remain baap of Salman in ATBBs and success. Salman’s flops are also much higher than his success so his success ratio js much lower than megastar aamor khan. Never ever dare to compare Salman with aamir.
