So Rowdy Rathore was a comedy? have you even seen it? it was an out and out action movie and a big big BIG success! Yes he has had his share of flops but so do the Khan's. If he has got poor verbal communication skills then he wouldn't be one of the best stage performers! He is way more entertaining on award shows than any of the Khan's, but he just doesn't attend all of them.

Ya rowdy rathore was total action just like his upcoming Khaldi will be. Hes totally on a roll.. my singh is back to rock!!

Stage performances? Even Rakhi Sawant does good ones. What I mean to say is he isnt articulate or eloquent by any means. His interviews dont make sense, in fact I can never make sense of what he's trying to say.

and I'm sorry but was Rowdy Rathore a drama movie then? Just because it had action in it doesnt make it different from the formulaic South Indian comedies. Yes it was a big success, not denying that but what south Indian isnt a hit these days? Its the flavour of the season and Akshay hapened to be in it. If Akshay was as big as the Khans, then his ThankYou, Khatameeta, 8Xwhatever, Desi Boyz, Action Replay, TMK, PatialaHouse, CC2C, Blue, DDD etc etc would have all been successful. Yes he has hits as well but his flop list is equally big, if not bigger. Which is why he belongs to the HIT AND MISS category.

Of course he is a second to the Khans. He falls into the 'hit n'miss' category of actors and he owes his success to the same old formulaic slapstick comedies. His movies FLOP when he tries to step out of his comfort zone, in fact his movies flop even when he is in his comfort zone. He is humble, in fact the most humble actor I have ever seen 👏 but really, this guy aint up to the level. He can't even give a proper interview, has poor verbal communication skills etc etc. He's one of my favourite actors, I have seen Garam Masala and Hera Pheri a thousand times but really, he aint superstar material.

and SRK owns his success to Rom Com, Yash chopras -Kjo's romantic movies His movies also floped when he tried anything out of his comfort zone like Sawades ... u Personally like SRK's movies better its different thing but as per u Kumar is Second to Khan just bcz of this is different thing ...don't mix both ...ur personal liking disliking towards anyone , doesn't make anyone lesser or higher

and yah if he is not superstar materiel so is SRK ...he doesn't go into media and claim Main Mein King 😛

What about Chak De then? MNIK? That was like the opposite of romantic comedies. and what about Don? and then Don 2? Ra.One? Did any of these movies tank at the box office? No they didnt,

And again, if you actually read my posts, no where will you see that I claimed SRK is more humble or less arrogant. In fact, all I've been saying is that Akki is themost humble actor I have ever seen. I watch his (good) movies all the time and I love him! All I'm saying is that he is definitely not at par with the Khans. He has like 4 hits in a row and then 40 flops and then 4 hits and then 40 flops which is why I said that he belongs to the 'hit and miss' category. The mass hysteria that the Khans have created in the public, Akshay can come close to it but not up to their level.

Akshey for sure... He is very humble a self made nice man...not with arrogant!!! He is not a bukha kutta for award he works to entertain people and he doesn't really care its flop or hit as long as he is entertanining!!!

Not like others drooling for the awards if they doesnt get it they might suicide of insecurity...

@earser - again its abt SRK vs akshay not Three Khans vs One Kumar 😉

yes current Mass hysteria is for Salman not for SRK ... don't give him benefit of having same surname 😉

even if its so ...one Kumar is enough for Three Khans ...

now its Salman, akki and ajay time , in past sometimes it was SRK, sometimes it was AAmir, salman , ajay and Akki ...u can't say it was always SRK

this is what i mentioned earlier too ...Khans r so called bigger bcz they r Three ... if they r so powerful compare them individuality ...very easy to compare them with anyone using this word KhanS

all the movies u mentioned of akki came in last 2 years , and so many flops ( actually half of them r above average ) bcz he does more movies than SRK ... quantity wise ...what abt his earlier career ????? his nonstop hit career span during 2007-2008 and currently and even these movies got really big /above average opening, just bcz they were Akki movies , like ppl claim Ra-one earned 100 cr even if it was flop bcz of SRK , same way despite knowing the fact that Akki is doing same kind of comedy movies his movies always used to get Big opening ... but Akki does not know how to go to media and claim his flop/ average movie as Hit ( ahem read MNIK 😛)

and ra one was Flop 😛 ...

and abt Akki , Rowdy was an action movie , Housefull was comedy ...both one after another 100 cr movies 😛 ...and do i need to mention his earlier movies? romantic ones like dhadkan , family dramas like Namaste london without any Yash Raj , Kjo 😉

Rakhi is a good dancer but peformer.. err not really! Akshay always connects with the audience and that is why everyone loves his performances! And just to remind you, Khatta Meetha was from the South too! And come on, do you really think if it woud have been SRK/Salman in 8x10 Tasveer it would have worked? noway! If that was the case then what happened to Kyun ki, Saawan, Salaam-E-Ishq, Swades, Kaal and Heroes, which wasn't even bad! Salman's floplist is quite big too but that doesn't make him a less of a superstar compared to SRK.
