Film critic and trade analyst Joginder Tuteja answers a few questions from Indicine readers. “Will Madhuri Dixit make a successful comeback with Dedh Ishqiya”, “Will Emraan Hashmi’s Ghanchakkar cross 100 crores?”, “Who is the most consistent Khan in the last 20 years” and more, will be answered tomorrow. Stay tuned.
1. Going by the trailer of ‘Khiladi 786’, it looks if it is in the same genre as ‘Dabbang’. So will ‘Dabbang 2’ have any impact on ‘Khiladi 786’? – Vaibhav Deshpande
- Yes, arrival of ‘Dabangg 2’ would have an impact on ‘Khiladi 786’; after all an open week ahead is beneficial for every film. However the impact would be more due to two biggies arriving in back to back films than because of the genre. Moreover, ‘Khiladi 786’ would have earned a major chunk of it’s moolah in the first week itself.
2. Kapoor is now far away from his contemporaries like Emraan Hashmi, Ranbir Kapoor and Imran Khan? What do you expect from his upcoming films like ‘Namak’ and ‘Phata Poster Nikla Hero’? – Devendra
- Yes, he is indeed far away from the names you mention. After ‘Kaminey’, he was in a very strong position but his subsequent films have failed him. However, let’s not forget that he is talented enough to bounce back. ‘Namak’ (Prabhudheva) as well as ‘Phata Poster Nikla Hero’ (Rajkumar Santoshi) are good on paper at the least. Competition for Shahid has intensified though since other than Ranbir, Emraan and Imran, there are also Ranveer Singh, Arjun Kapoor and now Varun Dhawan to contend. Just to stay on in Top-10 would be a challenge.
3. Just on the basis of box office, who is a bigger star? Ranbir Kapoor or Emraan Hashmi? – Arjun Singh
- Ranbir Kapoor. To pull audience for a film like ‘Barfi!’ is no mean feat and with the films super success, he has managed further rise in popularity and stardom.
4. According to you, what is Hrithik Roshan’s position after ‘Agneepath’ and ‘Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara’ in the industry? Can ‘Krrish 3’ take him to the Number One position – Harsh Soni
- After these two films, Hrithik has further strengthened his position amongst Top-6 with him and Ajay Devgn battling it out for the fifth slot. The maximum distance that he can cover after ‘Krrish 3’ is to find a place in Top-3. However he needs to be releasing two films a year and see a good success rate before being seriously considered for the Number One position. (Indicine: In 2006, tops stars like Shahrukh Khan (Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna, Don) and Aamir Khan (Rang De Basanti, Fanna) had two releases each, but it was Hrithik’s year with 2 major blockbusters (Krrish, Dhoom 2). He couldn’t sustain the top spot because, his next release (Jodha Akbar) was a good year and a half later. In between, SRK had two blockbusters (Chak De India, Om Shanti Om) and regained the top spot.)
5. What are your expectations from ‘Race2’? Can Saif Ali Khan and Deepika Padukone expect to enter the 100 crore club with the film – Janak
- ‘Race 2’ is red hot amongst the audience, industry and trade. Moreover, amongst all the sequels/franchises being made today, this and ‘Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai 2’ are the most awaited ones since they are taking the actual story forward. Moreover they have a huge recall value and people want to know what happened to the characters. It is a given that the film would give Saif as well as Deepika a 100 crore success and that too by a huge margin.

even some fans of sallu or srk likes akki becoz the variety he offer in movies…
@akash because akki is not releasing 1 or 2 films per year.he is releasing more films per year.ok,he doesn’t have highest grossing movie.but he has 10 movie in top 5 highest grossing movies per year from 2000.he is second actor having that with salman.
ALERT:
All Salman-Hrithik-Akshay-Aamir-Ajay fans STOP fighting with each other. all confusion between us is caused by those srk fans. lets not fight pls.
@rowdy
i do like him…i’ll never forget “Hera-Pheri”….hahaha
@vishal : Dude i like Akshay, but only when u ppl say bad abt Hrithik,i reciprocate. have nothing against him. i only hate one actor, ‘SRGA Y’
SRK fans r the reason of fighting? Then why the hell making my fake id and other stars, to other people please don’t listen to them ye log Kitna bhi gir sakte h!
Shahrukh, Anushka and Katrina
will hold a ‘JTHJ’ press
conference on Monday. Salman
and Shera will hold one too to
talk about their wedding.
@fake lil wayne: grow up fakie
And Salman is making records in
sucking cucumber shaped body
parts of others.
@vishal..
i knw buddy…i nvr hate nd abuse akshay nd his fans….though im salman khan fan….
some so called srk fans using my name also..to create some problem…cos they r C HA KKA’S like srk….
Salman Khan is so boring and
idiotic on stage, that’s the worst
thing about his hosting and the
reason ‘Bigg Boss 6’ has record
low 1.8 TRP.
@akash bro i didn’t have anything against hrithik also.but the reason i said all this is because some hrithik fan said that hrithik is way ahead then akki and all that.
No other actor would’ve been
able to do the kind of action
Salman pulled off in the bedroom
with me during ‘Ek Tha Tiger’
shoot – Kabir Khan
now that yashji’s gone, srk’s career is also over. feel so bad for my srk.
i am suffering from GUPT ROG
GUPT ROG
help meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
somebody help meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
srk doind with meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
for god sake…save meeeeeeeeeee….
i dnt wnt any GUPT ROGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
GUPT ROGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
i have a GUPT ROGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
Research shows that Salman
Khan fans belong to low
economic and social classes and
are mostly rickshwalas,
autowalas and janitors in India.
g;ythick fans knw ryt talk abt akki who is selfmade
@Vishal: lets not fight because of those srk fans… they are masterminds in causing fan wars between Salman, hrithik, aamir & akshay fans
Post-mortem analysis of
Salman’s body reveals steroid
use. Salman was also a bhadwa
and had no genitals. No wonder
all women left him.
srk is g:y lik me
Hrithik & Salaman are worst.
@rowdy 786 i think you are fake one.why are you doing this???i think some srk fan(vasim) trying to create war between other fans.i request every one to don’t react on them.
wish my dad srk didnt have any affair with PC aunty. i hate him for this
Ajay is far bttr den hritik..
am m@ther f&cker
Don’t worry guys!
Tooo much respect for hritik and Akshay I will never abuse them
They knows acting, not like other actors
Never mind if my fake id abuse them
@Vishal : i know that rowdy is a srk fan only pretending to be akki fan. srk fans are pathetic man
GUPT ROGGGGGGGGGGGGG
