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.
@nn you know nothing about boxoffice. if sunny can give gadar? sunny deol that same year gave record opening with indian which smashed asoka. and big stars do lesser important role in films, but their preesence helps the film big time at boxoffice. darsheel safari was the most important character in tzp and aamir khan did a supporting role to him. but in no way tare zameeen par would have done 60 crore plus at the boxoffice without aamir khan. whatever the film collected was due to aamir’s stardom. without him the film would have been a small hit. even in dangal( though i have not wathched it) but whatever i have heard , even indicine said the film was about the two girls, they were the central characters, aamir was playing their father. he was not doing the wrestlings which the film was about, but whatever the film did in the boxoffice was due to aamir, unless 30 crore opening was impossible. sunny deol did that in damini in the 90’s which was heroine centric but the film was a big hit due to his stardom.
a film can be big hit with newcomers but hgoty is next to impossible. only there are two exceptions maine pyaar kiya and kaho na pyaar hain and that too had phenomenal newcomers like salman and hritik. anil kapoor was not a star when no entry released . he has lost his stardom long ago. a good film like nayak was flop with him. with salman it would have been a blockbuster even in the last decade , forget about this decade. how can then he give hgoty , and let’s not discuss about fardeen khan. central character has nothing to do with opening. srk was the central character in 1 2 ka 4 and asoka released same year of k3g. even the combined collections of opening day of both the films were way lesser than k3g.
@ sayar srk has only 1 blockbuster in his entire career without yrf dharma and deepika, that was karan arjun with the help of salman. i think it’s enough to explain how much srk was dependent on yrf and dhrma and today he is dependent on deepika. has salman that kind of shameful career without rajshree. rajshree was never big. they have got all the major successes with the help of salman apart from vivah . today sooraj barjatiya has to wait for salman to make his next film. hahk released on 35 screens which was way lesser than the other big films, that was rajshree’s strategy. and whatever the reason was how can a film with 35 screens match films releasing on 150 plus screens.
Correction: haven’t watched 95% of lallu films.
Let BOI update the verdict of Deewana and Baazigar.
@Sayar : Just like hype & myth created for ‘fake global king’ by media ??? When it is for Srk they are facts but when comes to Salman things are fake & edited. Lol on your double standards & hypocrisy.
@nn : make a roll of your non Indian citizenship & shove it in your @$$. No one cares how many hindi movies you watched and whom you know. Does it even matter for Salman & his fans ??? Get lost !!!!!!!
@Indicine-Please post it.
@Dishonest cow- I may not know as much about boxoffice so as to “manipulate” facts to distort reality, but I have a common sense that Anil Kapoor on any day is a bigger star than Sunny Deol. I know that Indian won clash against Asoka, but after Gadar Sunny Deol didn’t have a single hit to his credit. Gadar wasn’t dependent on starpower, it won by its story and theme, so was the case with Damini. But you can give Damini’s credit to Sunny Deol, but that wouldn’t change the reality. Anil Kapoor might have lost his stardom before No Entry, but the truth about lallu was he wasn’t even considered a star who could carry through big films. Fardeen Khan might not be successful ever but he had a huge hype around his debut time. So No Entry was a totally multistarrer so was HSSH which lallu had no credit in. He wasn’t a dependable actor, so he was mainly doing multistarrers from late 90’s to all along the 2000’s. I haven’t seen Nayak, but saying Nayak would be a blockbuster with Lallu in it is like saying Nayak would be a blockbuster with Rakhi Sawant in it since lallu lost to Rakhi Sawant in opening, lifetime, -left, right and centre. So the bottom line is that lallu was a small Non-actor (not even a star) before 2010 and his flukes before 2010 hardly matter. SRK has had flops around K3G but nothing unexplicable. Hrithik had a craze at that time in India but not pertaining to boxoffice save for Kaho Na PYar Hai,.. his films took big openings but crashed afterwards. He might have had contribution in K3G’s opening, but so had Amitabh Bachchan, whether he lost his stardom or not. But K3G’s lifetime belonged to SRK as he carried the film through. Now coming about Aamir’s TZP, it had the hype of Aamir coming for direction for the first time and yes Aamir’s stardom made it collect it’s earning but it couldn’t become HGTOY, that’s not possible without Aamir in central character. Your lallu and hrithik is proof enough tha newcomers can give HGOTY if the film is entertaining enough, nothing phenomenal in it. And Dangal’s whole hype was about Aamir, he might not be the sole important character, but had enough contribution in the story. Watch it, you’ll understand. A central character doesn’t mean that he has to dance in the songs and fight with the opponents, and it’s a Christmas release with excellent word of mouth. TZP and Dangal were Aamir’s own production and he chose the role understanding the outcome. Not like No Entry or HSSH where lallu wasn’t any producer and hadn’t any say in role selection. He wasn’t given any important role because he was a small Non-Actor who couldn’t carry a Big film throughout but still had the surname “Khan”. You bark so much about 12ka4 and Asoka and Ready, why don’t you explain Marigold and lallu’s other 50 flops and and Jai Ho and his record number of clash defeats? At least SRK never had to resort to South remake to recover his stardom and according to BOI he is the only Megastar(Megastar according to CNN, not Indicine?? ) who has beaten every superstars and non-actor in clash. Whereas lallu>>>>404 error.
Now coming to YRF, it’s not SRK who was dependent on YRF, but it was YRF who was dependent on SRK. Proof>>>>
“Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi happened under very strange circumstances. The company wasn’t doing well and I needed to make a movie to get the company’s finances rolling.”-Aditya Chopra
http://www.indicine.com/movies/bollywood/aditya-chopra-talks-shah-rukh-khan/
http://www.indicine.com/movies/bollywood/ranveer-singh-shah-rukh-khan-aditya-chopra/
“Now, I have directed only 1 leading man all my life, Mr. Shah Rukh Khan. And any director who has worked with Shah Rukh knows that he is a very bad habit that you just cannot get over. He just makes your job so easy that you actually can’t think of making a film with anyone else ever. But before doing our next film together, I had to do this one film without him and I was really scared. I was scared because I truly believe that in all the films that we have done together Shah Rukh is the reason I came out looking good, so am I going to be exposed now?”
And he got exposed. Read the two article to understand how much Aditya Chopra wanted to create another SRK but failed. Let’s not even talk about Karan Johar who acts like he owes his life to SRK.
You might say YRF has given hits with Abhishek, Saif etc and yes they were bigger than lallu in the last decade that’s why YRF cast them and didn’t even think about lallu before 2010. YRF-Dharma gave flops with Akshay Kumar who is bigger star than Ranbir-Deepika put together. Without any known hero Deepika has Finding Fanny (26 crore, opening I don’t know), and Piku (5 crore opening) and without any heroine SRK has Fan (19 crore opening,) and Raees(opening 20 crore). Even Alia bhatt’s Dear ZIndagi(with limited screens) and Raveer Singh’s Befikre opened better than Piku. Let’s not even talk about XXX with famous Vin Diesel with 100million facebook followers. There has never been a female superstar in India except Sridevi and Madhuri who carried HAHK.
Lastly, I am not interested to talk with a dishonest person like you who shamelessly breaks his word again and again. My exam is over but my time is precious.
@Tiktik– Not interested to talk with psychopaths like you. Cool down mad cow. Don’t behave like a rickshawala( although that’s what lallu’s fanbase is famous for). I am not interested to compare 7 year old lallu with 25 year old Megastar( according to CNN, not Indicine ??) either.
@hritik When did I talk about Wikipedia talking about SRK. Its CNN, BBC, Los Angeles Times, European to American and even Indian Media who has called him a global megastar. You seem to be in full anger and rage!!! You are commenting sans thinking. Chill!!!
@NN Just here after seeing Deewana
SRK had a 1 hr 15 minutes role in the film whereas Rishi kapoor had 58 minutes role around. How can you say to take Deewana out of his filmography??
@Sayar- I am extremely sorry bro. I watched Deewana a long time ago, don’t remember the screen time much. It’s not in my collection also as I was fed up of watching the fatso co-star in the movie’s beginning.
@nn
lol That costar is rishi kapoor and sadly the heroine divya bharti is no more!!!! She was killed brutally
@nn saying the same thing again and again does not change reality.
you don’t know anything about boxoffice that’s why you are saying that how sunny deol can give gadar. the same year he gave record opener with indian. gadar also opened to excellent collections and opened better than aamir starrer lagaan, so how was sunny deol not a star.
anil kapoor lost his stardom long time ago. his great film pukar( for which he got national award) was no where near salman’s not so good film dulhan hum le jaayenge in terms of boxoffice collections released same year and pukar also starred madhuri the so called superstar. so him making no entry highest grosser of the year is impossible. fardeen khan even with multistarrers never gave a hit before no entry, and let’s not discuss about the opening of those films, they will be nowhere near even salman’s flop film like tumko na bhool payenge. today sequel of this film is shelved because salman has no date available, if anil and fardeen was the reason for no entry’s success they would have made the film with them.
tzp collected at the boxoffice due to aamir’s stardom, i was also saying the same thing. central character means the character around whom the story of the film is revolving. tzp was all about darsheel safari’s character, aamir entered the film much late and his screen presence is also lesser, so how can he be central character, but the boxoffice collections are due to him. same goes for k3g, srk was the lead hero but the boxoffice collections are due to hritik, because his market value at that time was bigger.
and first know the meaning multistarrer. multistarrer means a film having more than 1 star who is saleable at the boxoffice. the films you mention as multistarrer has only i saleable star , others are non stars.
@Dishonest cow-Live in your La La Land where your lallu was star/saleable before 2010. Yeah lallu who lost to Rakhi Sawant in opening,lifetime all aspects with his dream project Marigold will give HGOTY..?!!!!??? Sunny Deol was a small star and he couldn’t deliver a ATHG like Gadar with his stardom, the story and theme was the real hero there. And it’s you who don’t have any understanding of boxoffice and so try to manipulate facts. IT was because of hrithik that K3G collected that much??.???.Hrithik gave 3 flops before K3G and 4 back to back flops until 2003 when his papa saved him with Koi Mil Gaya. Even those flops included YRF’s Mujhse Dosti Karogi. Whereas SRK delivered 3 back to back HGOTY worldwide at that phase-K3G, Devdas and Kal Ho Na Ho. So don’t come to teach me about boxoffice. Lallu from the late 90’s to the whole of 2000’s depended on multistarrers to survive. And don’t bark so much about TZP, TZP was directed by Aamir and everyone knew about it. Darsheel Safary was one of the newcomer phenomenons who delivered big hit on debut. So the credit belongs firstly to Aamir for his extraordinary script choice, direction skill and the Darsheel for his extraordinary performance. The same Aamir couldn’t save Dhobi Ghat. So the central character of a movie is always the main reason for a film’s success. There may be one or two exceptions, but lallu’s HSSH, HAHK and No Entry weren’t one of them. Lallu is just a great Gangu Teli when it comes to both stardom and acting..!!??? Now, kindly shut up and leave SRK’s article.
Correction: It would be 4 back to back HGOTY worldwide includin Mohabbatein for SRK.
@NN
Late 90s?? He was a washout from 1990 itself without Barjatya. Even with Barjatya he use to give 9 lakhs opening, Karlo Baat!!!!
@nn but opening proves stradom, i think this is the anthem of zebra fans . srk is the same ghatiya star who gave 77 lack opening with 1 2 ka 4 then why i will give him credit for the record opener of k3g, it certainly belongs to hritik who gave 1 crore 59 lack opening with yaadein, which is more than double. why are you now talking about lifetime collections now, then srk films even on festivals grosses lower than non holiday releases, we have discussed about it a lot. despite of coming with a masala film he lost to ranveer’s so called niche film bm in lifetime, is this the love for srk in his own country today? why ? answer will come dilwale was ahead in opening, but when i will talk about opening you will jump to lifetime. first you decide what proves stardom , opening or lifetime.
salman was dependent on multistarrers last decade really? then why srk with number 1 heroine ranimukherjee failed to cross salman and debut heroine bhoomika’s tere naam’s opening with chalte chalte. why paheli failed to open better than salman’s lucky no time for love with debut heroine sneha ullal. why in 2000 srk’s all film opened below salman”s dulhan hum le jaayenge? why in 2001 srk’s two central character film 1 2 ka 4 and asoka opened below salman’s chori chori chupke chupke? they are all solo starrers.
@sayar what about the 9 crore opening of dear zindagi which is even lower than shahid’s udta punjab( both are niche films). shame on your gangu teli. he can’t even beat shahid kapoor in terms of initial who is considered as a flop star.
@honest man
DZ?? Really? What about the opening of Hero, Hello, Phir Milenge, London Dreams, Yuvraaz, MAMK, And the least goes on.
Ab yaha dekh!!Opening compare karte hain!!!!Forget multistarrer, lets consider Jeet as Salman film LOL
We will compare biggest openers
1992-SRK was ahead(Wait for boi update, Deewana opening)
1993-SRK(Darr, i m sure Baazigar opened better than all Salman films)
1994-Do I even need to explain?
1995-SRK(Trimurti or even Raam Jane opened better than Veeergati, Raamjane clashed with aamir akele hum akele tum)
1996-Chal bheek diya, Jeet
1997-SRK(koyla)
1998-SRK(Dil se better than all Salman movies)
1999-Finally struggler reached 1 cr day -Sallu
So after srk made hs debut only in 1996-1999 he gave bigger opening in 90s!!!!!
That ends all
Okay hopefully no further explanation
Ab yaha dekh!!Opening compare karte hain!!!!Forget multistarrer, lets consider Jeet as Salman film LOL

@Dishonest cow-Abey moron, Dear Zindagi was released in half the screen of Udta Punjab which profitted due to controversy. Also it was SRK’s extended cameo, and totally an Alia Bhatt film still opened bigger than Piku, commercial Mohenjo Daro and Shivaay due to SRK’s cameo. One 2 ka 4 was released in half the screens of Kabhi khushi Kabhi Gham and it was hardly promoted on TV. K3G was a bigger success in the overseas than in domestic which was solely due to SRK. Hrithik Roshan couldn’t even give an average grosser after K3G until 2003, forget hit, and he will give the humongous collection of K3G??? ??? The opening was due to the combination of AB, SRK and Hrithik together. Lifetime was due to SRK . Opening and lifetime both are important but in today’s time the lifetime depends on the release period. SRK’s only festive underperformer was Ra-One which was sure to fail right from its promos. A crime thriller like Don 2 could never earn more even if it didn’t have the negativity from Ra-One, cause films like this don’t earn much. It is Gangu TEli lallu’s worthlessness that he can’t do films like this. Dilwale had the biggest negativity due to intolerance comment still BM was able to beat it only in domestic, not in worldwide. Paheli was an art film. And wasn’t lallu trying to copy the hype of DDLJ with Dulhan Hum Le Jayenge and copied its name just to recreate history???..?? Still in it’s anniversaries people mistake it for DDLJ. And if you want to do a direct comparison of Gangu Teli lallu and SRK’s stardom then take Don vs Jaaneman. In spite of Don being a crime thriller with no one except SRK , it beat popular genre Jaaneman with another big star Akshay and top heroine Preity in opening, lifetime, left, right and centre. Forget SRK, lallu has been beaten by Akshay Kumar multiple times, by one year old Ranbir Kapoor’s solo film, and most importantly by Rakhi Sawant in spite of his dream project Marigold. SRK never had such a shameful career. His career is strewn with respect, admiration, awards and success in spite of trying every genre and taking risks. You are another Gangu Teli who like your idol don’t understand the meaning of honesty and integrity of words and resort to dishonest means.
@nn now why are you giving excuse of screens. tha same logic goes for hahk. dear zindagi’s all trailers has srk in it, all songs has srk in it, but still it opened to a poor 9 crore. and you zebra fans can only give excuses. either of genre, or controversy or anything. if don 2, don are crime thrillers then sultan is also a sports drama, a drama which never opens, but salman manged a bumper opening and record breaking weekend with that film while with cdi srk did ghanta. yes i know festival periods help films but this is bollywood not any dharamsala. if your gangu teli constantly can not perform on festivals , how many chance he will get. who says he has given only 1 underpeformer in festivals. ra one, don2, jab tak hain jaan, happy new year, dilwale the list is huge. he is the most lucky star who has benifited from festivals. unless ra one has flop written all over it without that five day holiday weekend. don 2 would have also flopped. happy new year would have struggled for clean hit status.
@sayar what kind of pathetic comparison is that. trimurti and karan arjun opening never belong to srk alone. we don’t need credit for jeet opening, logic says it goes to sunny deol who was a much bigger star, and we are not credit chors like srk fans to say darr is a srk film. deewana was the debut film of srk and that too a small appearance he added nothing in that film as a star.
raam jaane opening better than veergati does not prove srk was a bigger star. it released later in the same year, so the film releasing later should always do 4 or 5 lacks more. what about the opening of guddu , zaamana deewana, oh darling ye hain india , ddlj. all of them opened lower than veergati which was the only release of salman that year. in 1997 dtph and koyla opened better than judwaa but what about pardes and yes boss which were lower. i have seen many zebra fans doing that comparison but that is errorful. niether salman nor shahrukh was big star in the 90’s. they were something like ranveer singh and varun dhawan today, they were lucky to get some extremely well trending films. if we talk about stardom sunny deol was much ahead of them, or even akshay kumar and sunil shetty. srk became a big star after devdas or main hoon naa when he started to give big openers on his own . salman took wrong desicions and was down but he has beaten srk many times in terms of opening in that period and sometimes with debut heroines. and the day dabangg released he went on to become a bigger star than srk and then with bodyguard and ett he reached the range of stardom where srk can only dream of. srk never gave a opening like ett or bodyguard in his entire career apart from multistarrers.
and lastly salman in his entire career has 5 record opening ( solo) while srk has only 3. salman has 8 record breaking weekend while srk has only 5.
@Dishonest cow-It’s you who are giving excuses one after another. It’s true lallu wasn’t a star in the 90’s because he was dependent on other stars. SRK was a sensation right from Baazigar and Darr. And he was the biggest superstar of 90’s and 2000’s. All the trade websites accept it. LOL, lallu tood wrong decisions..?? So did SRK but he never had to reach such a low that he has to be beaten by Rakhi Sawant. Ask every trade analyst, in times of demonetization what kind of opening DZ had? SRK told in each and every interviews that DZ was his extended cameo. And yeah, rickshawalas like you will never understand words like genre, niche etc. That’s why lallu is a gawar and all his fans are like that. And lastly, lallu in his entire career has more flops, disasters, failures than success, so it is obvious that he wasn’t even a star before 2010. He is only 7 years old who has been beaten by every superstar and stars of the country. And my time is precious, I don’t have time for some cows who rant endlessly. ???
And SRK added no star value to Deewan?? What kind of joke is that??? ???
@nn srk never took any wrong decision . after consistent faliures of jthj, don2 , ra one etc etc he did so called masala film with chennai express. after that film’s success he repeated that with happy new year and dilwale but failed. then he tried to do content rich film with fan and raees but again he struggled to give a hit. so the point is no genre is safe with srk so he has to try different things.
and a film releasing on biggest screens can not be niche films. ra one and don2 were biggest release at its time, so how can it be niche film, niche film gets limited release. if a film is releasing on biggest screens then that means makers are thinking it is a a panindia film, so stop giving excuses. fan was not full commercial but still it was released on 3450 screens which is almost equal to the screens of a masala film like housefull3.
salman was not interested in films and boxoffice in the last decade, he was not professional, he has personal issues in his life. he started to do movies seriously from dabangg( but still he is not desperate like srk, but yes today he takes more responsibility). a man can not become a superstar suddenly one friday unless he has established following. dabangg was not a film which opened slow and then picked up to do huge business. it took a record start, and the first three days were all single day records which no film has achieved this decade. only a superstar of his calibre can give that kind of opening( gangu teli never gave that even in his best phase) and the opening of that film proved that he has huge established following even before dabangg.
@Dishonest cow-LOL, SRK never took any wrong decisions? He refused 3 Idiots and Robot and he had all the acting skills to carry them. He picked poor director like Anubhab Sinha for Ra-One. Moron, before comparing Chak De with Sultan first know that Chak De was the same film that lallu refused saying that “it wasn’t commercial” and he will always do “commercial entertainers”
//” It was more serious kind of film and I was doing more of a commercial kind of cinema which I am still doing. I would never move out of commercial cinema zone” //
link: http://www.dnaindia.com/entertainment/report-sultan-salman-khan-reveals-why-he-said-no-to-chak-de-india-and-shah-rukh-fans-won-t-like-it-2231566
It’s because of SRK’s megastardom that when he does niche films in lead his films still get wide release and great openings. Ask lallu to do a niche film without songs, heroine, and themes that only a small section of the audience can relate to, the result will be Marigold. SRK never had a pathetic situation like lallu where a pan-Indian film like HAHK couldn’t get a face-saving release screens across India. Don, Don 2 and Raees are the biggest hits in the crime thriller genre and lallu the gangu teli doesn’t even have the capacity to act in a film that requires acting chops. And barking about Fan’s screen, SRK told before Fan’s release that Fan was a niche film and not meant for commercial success but why he released it in 3500 screens shows also one of his wrong decisions.
“”salman was not interested in films and boxoffice in the last decade, he was not professional, he has personal issues in his life. he started to do movies seriously from dabangg( but still he is not desperate like srk, but yes today he takes more responsibility)..””??? Then why did he say things like “I was doing more of a commercial kind of cinema which I am still doing. I would never move out of commercial cinema zone” … There should be a limit to giving excuses…!! SRK never said things like this, he admitted that he wants to do all type of films, whether niche or commercial. IF lallu had an “established fanbase” why couldn’t they save lallu at least from Rakhi Sawant in opening and lifetime..were they in coma then..??? ? Truth is lallu was never a star before 2010. And yeah if SRK does films like HNY his fans won’t come to see him, cause they like classy films, whether they are content-driven or masala films. They will troll him even after making the film a Super-hit, but not if he continues the same mistake. WHereas lallu can carry gawar films for gawar fans only that too on Eid…!! Otherwise opening like Jai Ho will happen..???
@honest man
Listen …. Remove Trimurti/KA, still Ram Jaane will be a bigger opener than Veergati. RJ clashed with Aamir film!!!!
@nn srk refused robot because he was doing same genre film ra one. srk refused 3 idiots because it’s an extremely risky film on paper, today after seeing boxoffice collections it is very easy to say 3 idiots was a favourable film and to be honest he would never had justice to that role. srk always takes decision according to current trend of boxoffice. when ra one and don2 failed he got back to his romantic image role in jthj, when that failed he did masala film ce. after that film worked he did two other masala film dilwale and hny, infact he postponed fan to release dilwale. but after those two films failures he has to do something different. he did raees, but he added masala into it by sunny leone item song, he also added romantic angle, and there was dhamakedar action for masses, is it not enough.
and don’t make special kind of genre to give excuses. ra one, don2 are all mentioned by boxoffice india as action genre in the datas of those films, so what is this crime thriller?
so remember one thing srk never took any risk. he has played safe through out the career. he takes all the big heroines in his films, he adds dhamakedar action into it, and plays all the safe trump cards, but still he fails everytime. what is true is that he has bad script sense and that has nothing to do with taking risk . happy new year and kick both are masala films with all the elements in them but the difference is kick is a good entertaining film and happy new year is irritating. so salman does not plays safe or srk takes risk saman’s script sense is better than him and it is improving day by day.
and don 2 ra one were released on biggest screens because they were big scale dhamakedar action films with foot tapping songs and big heroines , they were pan india appealing films but srk does not have panindia market.
salman rejected cdi because he does not believe in those kind of films, he does not like them. fear of boxoffice failure can not remain in 2007 because most of his films were not working at that time so 1 failure more would have not made any difference.
@honest man
Listen …. Remove Trimurti/KA, still Ram Jaane will be a bigger opener than Veergati. RJ clashed with Aamir film!!!!
But Yeah One thing I agree with u is SRK has worst script sense!!!!! Needs to improve!!!!
@Dishonest cow- Your comments are more like jokes than any rational comment. 3 Idiots was an extremely risky film????? Even after Munnabhai which didn’t have any star still became big hit and was offered to SRK first..?? And what moronic talk is this that SRK couldn’t do justice to 3 Idiots? SRK is Raju Hirani’s favourite actor and a Non-actor like lallu khan’s paid fan dishonest cow has the audacity of judging SRK’s acting calibre..?? The challenging roles of 3 Idiot went to Boman Irani and Silencer. Robot had better director and love-angle related story that could relate to the masses more whereas Ra-one was for school children who love and understand video-games, that too with a poor director. And who told you that SRK went back to romantic roles because Ra-One failed? JTHJ was officially Yash Chopra’s last film and who has the quality to do a Yash CHopra romance except for SRK?? JTHJ had a stupid clash with attention-seeking Ajay Devgn, still won the clash. And SRK postponed Fan because its VFX took long time. What will gawar rickshawalas understand about VFX??? And where was the romantic angle of Raees? Most of the scenes with Mahira Khan was chopped down along with a good song. Mahira only created fear for boycott, what other contribution did she have?? And taking BOI’s reference for deciding genres????? I also follow BOI, but the same BOI told Jodha Akbar and Haider are poor films. What kind of imbeciles take BOI as a bible for films..?? Then take Darr as the biggest Blockbuster of thriller genre and ask lallu to deliver a Hit in that genre, even Akshay Kumar is doing that nowadays, only Lallu the Gangu Teli doesn’t have the capacity to act in films of different genres. And what is “dhamakedar” action in Don 2 and Raees, stupid..?? Were the villains thrown into air with one punch or one kick like what happened in Dabangg and all of Gangu teli’s south remakes? Don, Don2 and Raees had realistic Classy action scenes which are consistent with crime thrillers. You don’t even understand genres then why do you rant so much? Ask any trade expert whether a Posh crime thriller like Don series will work in villages or small centres, the answer will be “no”. Then from what angle is Don 2 a failure, it collected huge considering its genre and would have been bigger if there was no negativity from Ra-One. Raees is like Gangs of Wasseypur being commercialized to attract bigger crowd and it did just that. It had a great opening unlike Lallu the Gangu Teli’s south remake social message deliverer masala film Jai Ho. Raees has the credit of beating Hrithik Roshan’s best film in years left, right and centre? WHat has been Gangu Teli’s record in clashes..??? Losing to Rakhi Sawant??? and to every other actors imaginable.
And SRK never took risks..?? He became a superstar playing a negative role in Baazigar, Darr.He has beaten Aamir Khan doing a negative role in Raamjaane. In his best phase he did three back to back risky films. An offbeat film Swades, an art film Paheli, and a love story focusing on adultery KANK, doing which was like a career suicide for SRK. He did CDI without any heroine and made it a huge hit only depending on his acting skills. He made My Name is Khan when all the religious extremists were against him. He made Fan in his low phase which didn’t have any commercial appeal. And what has lallu the Gangu Teli done..?? Oh yeah I forgot, he also did classic niche films like Marigold, Shadi Kark Phas Gaya Yaar and the list is endless???. In his best phase he has been remaking south films like the classic Ready, Kick, remaking his own art films like Dabangg 2 , Chinkara Zinda Hai etc???. And yeah, lallu the Gangu Teli doesn’t take decisions according to the current trend of Boxoffice. He never tried to mimic SRK’s classic romantic films like in films like Yeh Hai Jalwa, Jaanemaan etc and got beaten by a crime thriller like Don left, right and centre???. And what foot-tapping song did Don 2 have..?? There was only one song in the film, and what heroine..??? Whereas lallu the Gangu Teli’s risks include doing back to back south remakes, wearing “langots” etc. “salman rejected cdi because he does not believe in those kind of films”??? Rather say lallu rejects films which challenges his worthlessness as an actor and pushes him to take boxoffice challenges.
////” It was more serious kind of film and I was doing more of a commercial kind of cinema which I am still doing. I would never move out of commercial cinema zone” //
He himself accepts that he has never taken risks and he never will. Whereas SRK says he wants to do all types of films, both commercial and niche films. Local star Lallu the Gangu Teli is only suitable for “gawar” fans like you who will jump in joy when he shakes his belt or wears his “langot”. WHereas SRK is a self-made Global Megastar who is honoured and respected globally.
@nn datas prove salman is the most versatile actor. he has got success in every genre. according to boi.com the film with the highest adjusted net gross in drama genre is hum aapke hain kaun. though aamir leads this genre with many big grossers. salman leads in comedy genre with biwi no 1 and ready. srk right now leads the love story genre with ddlj but when maine pyaar kiya will be updated salman will have the biggest grosser as mpk footfalls were more than ddlj. in masala genre salman has the biggest grosser with bajrangi bhaijaan. in action genre gadar is the biggest grosser but salman has 6 blockbusters in action genre. so salman has the highest grosser in drama, masala, love story and comedy genre and though he does not have the highest grosser in action genre he has many blockbusters there. and also he has delivered a blockbuster in every genre he has done.
raees or every film srk does , he makes the trailer giving an impression that it’s an universal appealing film. ra one , don2, raees are all that. they have dhamakedar action, romance, comedy everything. so definetly he is eying for pan india business, but he fails and then you start to give worthless excuses. robot and ra one was the same genre that’s why he did not do the film and he is not a megastar like rajnikanth , so will never match him. and three idiots was a risky film on paper, though in screen it went on to become a masterpiece. srk only do films which can create hype and story about three students does not look universal appealing on paper, and srk whenever has comeout with a different kind of film he has failed( dil se, paheli, swades there are many more). only cdi succeeded but even that film took poor opening.
and don’t give incorrect statements. don 2 was a full action commercial entertainer. it is not like dabangg, it is like ett. don 2 actions were similar to ett, and ett has no villain at all. now see the boxoffice collections of both films.
srk was the most succesfull actor as a nagative hero was another biased comment. the most succestfull actor playing negative hero was sanjay dutt in khalnayak released in 1993( same year of darr and baazigar). it was much bigger hit and took record opening.
“salman is the most versatile actor”…????? Calling the biggest Non-Actor of Indian cinema “a versatile actor”..??Who am I talking to?? A Donkey..???hum aapke hain kaun is a lallu film..?? “don2, raees have dhamakedar romance, comedy everything”..?? ??? Where was the romance and comedy in Don 2 and Raees..????? “SRK is not a megastar like Rajnikanth”, then who is called the Biggest Moviestar in the world..????? “Three idiots was a risky film on paper”– Do you have cowdung in your head.?? Don 2 was like ETT..?? One is a classy crime thriller with SRK in negative role and the other is a hotchpotch of everygenre..!! I guess you haven’t even watched Don 2 that’s why you are giving rubbish statements about Don 2. WHere was the comedy and romance in Don 2?? Mr. Gawar one doesn’t become the most successful negative hero by one film, but by films after films. That’s why Lallu the Gangu Teli couldn”t win the clash with his universally appealing Jaaneman with a crime thriller with SRK in a negative role. Now shut up,.. I am tired of arguing with a Donkey.
@NN
Bro pls dont beleive in the footfalls of BOI. It is sheer stupid. There is no authentic source to measure footfalls.
@sayar raam jaane opened bigger tha veergati but it came later, and the most important thing is what about the opening of films like guddu, zaamana deewana, oh darling yeh hain india and the so called classic ddlj. ahter giving four poor openers you are just having 1 film which opened 5 lacks above .
and the discussion was not about 90’s. @nn was saying that srk was the number 1 star in 2000-09 decade and salman was dependent on multistarrers. that’s why i have intentionaly named some solo salman films and that too starring debut heroines which srk failed to beat in opening with number 1 heroine of that time rani mukherjee. ye number 1 ka namuna nahi ho sakta, that proves srk’s stardom was nothing to shout about.
now i am giving the biggest openers of every year starting from 1993 and let’s see who is the biggest. in a multistarrer film i have credited the bigger star with bigger market at that time and if none of the stars are big enough i have not mentioned any star.
1993- khalnayak ( most probably)- sanjay dutt
1994- insaaniyat – amitabh bachchan
1995- trimurti
1996- khiladiyon ka khiladi- akshay kumar
1997- border- sunny deol
1998- bmcm- govinda
1999- hkk- ajay devgun
2000- mission kashmir- hr
2001- k3g- hr
2002- devdas- srk
2003- loc kargil
2004- main hoon na – srk
2005- mp – aamir
2006- krissh- hr
2007- oso- srk
2008- ghajini- aamir
2009- 3 idiots- aamir
2010- dabangg- salman
2011- bodyguard- salman
2012- ett- salman
2013- dhoom 3- aamir
2014- hny- srk
2015- prdp- salman
2016- sultan- salman
so the result is
salman-5
srk-3
