  • The only indian movie which deserves all the oscar awards is “JOKER” except the best actress award (sunny leone)

  • Hrithik deserves an oscar for the best actor award for his exceptional acting in agneepath and the ha kla shahrukh deserves the oscar award for the worst actor for jthj. Best indian movie of the year is agneepath and the worst is ofcourse the crap jthj.

  • Hahahahahaha
    Yeh to Hona Hi Tha
    Ranbir n His Films r Highly over-rated.

    Rockstar was such a Bore movie.

    Barfi was mixer of Bundel of Old movies. Especially Hollywood Movies. And Bollywood was expecting that Barfi will Qualify for the Academy Award. Isnt that a Big Joke.

    And u will see that whn Award Functions will begun Ranbir will take all awards. hahahahaha
    They r forcefully trying to make him next big thing. He is talented, he has good looks but he is not that much which they r trying to make him. He need atleast Ten years to prove that he is a Big Thing. With two to three movies u cant compare someone with the person who has List of Classics behind. Media always behave like a child. illogical n sick things they always try to present.

  • barfi movie is a copy , so how does it expect to be in oscar race, its a shame for india that they chose copycat barfi for oscar nomination….i do not know what impression judging panel of the oscars had when they saw barfi….must be very bad….its a bad image for india now…

  • Ranbir should win all the awards. Lets compare barfi vs jab tak hai jaan as both are of the same genre i.e feel good romantic movies. Barfi movie as a whole was more pleasing than jthj though jthj’s music was much better than barfi. P.c & illiyana were better than both k.k & anushka. Barfi was a bigger hit than jthj in india but jthj was a overseas bb. And last but not the least ranbir was just exceptional and completely out performed srk, so at such a young age, ranbir is better than srk.

  • @himanshu keep ur facts n information right.

    Barfi Lifetime 120 cr in India
    JTHJ Lifetime 120.65 cr in India

    and dnt compare JTHJ with Barfi in Overseas as we all know SRK in Universal KING

  • Ranbir ki aur us ki movie ki aukat dikh gyi……shame 4us to choice such type copy paste movie 4 oscar nd…….i like ranbir nd his acting but overrated thing will create problm 4 him in future……same srk facing now days

  • Let him prove his verstiality.

    As a Villan
    As an Action Hero
    In Historic Drama
    In Social Drama

    Let him prove that he is strong enough to give a blockbuster without romancing a Heroien. Give him a Classic like Chak De and ask him to make it Blockbuster.

    Give him Swades

    Give him Ra.One (sci-fi) (which according to all haters is Crap) so ask him to make this crap 115+ cr

  • @sahir barfi is a bigger hit than jthj in india because barfi collected 120 crores in some 1600 odd screens with a much lesser budget while jthj(106 crores according to boi) had 1000 screens more with a higher budget and more importantly no one expected a movie like barfi to gross so much and become a superhit while on the other hand all srk fans were saying that jthj will break all records in india & overseas and will become the biggest atbb because it is a yash chopra film, a.r.rahman,kat and srk returning to his most successful genre i.e romantic genre but what happened? It is only a hit in india but bb overseas. A srk film didnt even collect more than agneepath,ready & r.r and struggled against sos despite releasing in more than 2700+ screens and you still call him the king? A real shame. Srk is good only at overseas but in india he is no bigger than ranbir,hrithik and ajay, forget about salman,aamir and akshay they are way ahead. I bet if ranbir releases his movie with srk, it will collect as much as srk’s if the number of screens are equal.

  • @sahir ranbir is more versatile than srk and he can do any genre like aamir or hrithik. Even ranbir will make a chak de & swades a bb, because the movie itself was so fantastic that you dont need a srk only to make them a bb and had ranbir been in swades it would have atleast been a superhit not a srk’s flop. Ra.1 is such a garbage that except salman khan no other actor can make it a b.b and ranbir is not such a stupid actor to do a movie like ra.1.

  • @himanshu u r right Aamir is bigger then SRK what joke.

    Please check the business of Talaash and compare it with JTHJ.
    Poor Aamir was struggling for 100cr and atlast he lost the hope.
    People were bar-king that Talaash will cross 3idiots blah blah
    Result is infront of every one.
    Same of So called Khiladi786 70cr lolzzzzzzzz
    Ofcourse Akshay n Aamir is bigger then SRK as result shows all.
    There is no excuse for gener of movie. Its all about star power.
    If anyone say its a gener issue. Then whats going wrong with Khiladi786. Which was perfect masala crap. Why Khiladi didnot cross 100cr.

    Why SOS feel short from JTHJ as SOS was Pure Masala Crap according to now a days trnd.

    Excuse of Screen space is also illogical. Movie will get same audiance who want to watch his Favourite stars movie. either its release on 2 screens or 2000 screens. so stop talking baselessly sick things.

    Also Ranbir had tried sanwariya with SRK. Result we all knows. But we cant compare SRK n Ranbir. Coz Ranbir is new he is kid. He need some more years.

  • @sahir. I bet Had srk done a movie like talaash it would have had become a disaster like joker and only because of aamir khan it collected more than 90 crores and is a hit in india & superhit overseas. Khiladi 786 as a masala was doing well in the single theatres untill dabaang came, but dont forget that out of akshay’s 5 movies this year, r.r is a bb, hf2 is a superhit, in superhit omg he has xtended role, k786 is a hit & only joker is a disaster . I challenge srk to do the same films in a single year and collect as much as these films in india but he simply cant. Srk fans dont like masala movies and they only like srk’s romantic movies because he is king of romance and is his most successful genre, then why didnt the so called 3 billion+ srk’s global fans make jthj cross 3idiots record. Even in overseas it didnt gross more than mnik.

  • @sahir remember srk in tapori role in josh which is flop at boxoffice while amir in ghulam,rangeela r box office hits cult chracter! Even in don2 srk expressions is similar to romantic films..

  • Trust me, the makers of barfi won’t mind this news one bit because they didn’t expect to win the oscars in the first place. They smartly announced the oscar nomination from indian review board while barfi was still running in theatres, by virtue of which the movie earned more money due to public curiosity. So the makers main aim of earning more box office revenue is achieved then who would care if paan singh tomaar was a better oscar candidate. You tell me that announcing a much less deserving movie like barfi for oscars while it was still running in theatres in process boosting it’s collections is not fishy.

  • Have u seen how the trio of ranbir kapoor, anurag basu and priyanka chopra have gone to lengths and breadths denying any plagiarism and happily publicising all the accolades, at this point each one is looking ridiculous with their false claims,it’s now almost their moral responsibility to acknowledge the fact that paan singh tomaar was wrongly deprived of it’s oscar nomination at their movie’s cost.

  • india me har jgh politics hai

    barfi not deserving movie to oscar

    only 3 movie deserve nd they got nomination

    lagaan,mother india, salaam bombay

  • I’m laughing out loudly. You said that jthj collected 120.65 crore. Ooh, i think a mad dog had bitten you. According to boi, its lifetime collection is 106 crore. If you dont beleive check at BOI.
