But over the years, I have come to realize that SRK moved away from mainstream cinema into minting money and getting recognized. His constant diplomatic statements, acting in movies with actresses half his age, jumping around and singing like a lad, etc, ruined his credibility as a matured actor. In this regard, I'd rather give credit to Salman Khan, cuz his movies suit the way he portrays himself as a person in real life. Dabangg 2, for example was very entertaining. I wish it was a bit longer. I truly enjoyed each and every scene. The action scenes were a big superficial, but what the heck, that's what true Masala Bollywood is! If SRK returns back to being himself - the true 90s King Khan, I might develop respect for him again. You never know.
@SatrangiRe: Aamir might have done three idiots in a boyish role. Yes, I agree with you that I was weirded out myself initially. But he pulled the role with ease as a dorky student, hellbent on giving Boman Irani a hard time. But then, that was probably it. He experiments things once and then quits them. The last time he played a cop was probably in Sarfarosh (correct me if I am wrong). Referring to Talaash, he must have played a cop barely like four or five times - Baazi, Aatank Hi Aatank, Sarfarosh and now Talaash. SRK plays his cheesy roles in every other movie. That's the difference.
END OF RANT!
The rant just begun 😆
I agree that Shahrukh has done bad movies recently, I mean since 2009 (except for Don2)..But why do you say he's cheesy in every movie? It's not true. He wasn't chessy pre 2009 era and made many good movies, while Salman or Akshay for example are cheesy all the time.
Also, I don't agree with the famous statement that SRK actig with the grils half his age all the time or that he pretends to be a teen all the time. He only acts like that in JTHJ (although I think that he looks quite younger than he really is in the London part, they just screwed it up with telling he's 28, why don't let him be 35 or something?) and in Ra.One. But if you look at his recent female co - stars you realise that they're all no 20 something girls.
MNIK - Kajol
Ra.One - Kareen
Don 2 - Lara & Priyanka
Only JTHJ is exception here. I know he's doing Chennai Express with Deepika, but what should he do when the Bollywood audience demand young, fresh females as lead?
Also, SRK hasn't acted like a teenage since KKHH, let's take a look at his recent flicks:
MNIK - a step father of teenage boy
Ra.One - a father of teenage boy
Don 2- a well known gangsta, probably in his 40ies
JTHJ- part with major
