SRK's doing CE, HNY type films. I didn't see any inkling of attempting films like CDI from his choice of movies. Recently, he's said to have rejected Bhaag Milkha Bhaag. He seems to be intent on doing romance-cum-entertainers with filmmakers who're his friends. He seems to want BO gold not meaningful route. Aamir also went commercial with D3 but picked a film like PK which has potential to be credible and commercially viable. Even Akshay made an OMG!

NB...like I said before...There cannot be a Rajnikant in the BW industry...the BW industry is mainly based on looks and not talent...South movie industry is based on talent and not looks...thats why even the most talented stars from the south are rejected in BW because they often do not have the required looks...How else do u explain Katrina and Salman being on the top in BW and not Konkona and Naseeruddin Shah...Salman will fade away...once he loses his appearance...Have u seen how Rajnikant looks these days...and yet he is at the top...do u think a similar looking Salman will survive in BW...I don't think so...Unless and until salman changes the kind of roles he is doing ...he will be done in the next 4-5 years...he may be at the top right now...but success came a little late in life to him...
Shahrukh I am guessing and hoping will start doing meaningful roles like Swades and CDI because he can act and has the ability to be versatile...I mean someone called the King of romance...makes a movie like CDI without any female lead and romantic angle...a blockbuster...only Shahrukh can do that ...so yeah I am hoping SRK and Aamir will go the AB Sr. way and do more mature and different kinds of roles...

SRK has started following what akshay and salman were doing 😆 masalas !! what are CE,HNY?? Speaking of versalitiy its salman who started with the shy romantic hero then turned into a macho hero,comedian to a serious hero and again became the hero of the masses with wanted ! Its him who has reinvented himself and aamir too with ghajini,lagaan ! SRK hasnt reinvented himself IMO he is the one who needs it ! Salman might have a terrible time in the 2000s but dabangg completely changed his career and gave him a new image but SRK is still stuck with his loverboy image since the 90s !

Haha! Even the guys from Bachchan era used to dismiss Khans (Khans were complete anti-thesis of what it meant to be a HERO!). But change happened.

Since u predicted in some other thread that he will do a movie with Aradhya Bachchan also which means he will be acting as the male lead for another 20 years...which means by that time he will be around 65 and Aradhya will be 21...OK great analysis😳



I was jesting in that thread


But in reality if you look at work rate of Aamir he all ready is semi retired as leading man. His films are working cause they are far and few in between .

I know...Shahrukh is awful when it comes to picking movies...but he has the potential to be the next AB Sr. is what i meant...He can be versatile if he wants to...and if CE is anything like the regular masala movie...then it will be good if it tanks at BO...at least Shahrukh won't try more of those...

Shahrukh is not versatile...is that what u mean?? What are CDI, Swades, Don series, RA-one(even though it was the worst but he tried something different)...
And Salman has reinvented himself?? If doing movies like Ready , BG and Dabangg is reinventing then I rest my case😳

But his last 4-5 films were similar


1989- 1994 romance familiy films
1994-1999 action comedys
1999-2003 stupid romance films that mostly flopped
2003 TERE NAAM ENOUGH SAID
2004-2009 comedies and to large extent strong cameos
2009-resent Masala lol

his recent films were all similar but he has only been doing this 3-4 years.


When he has 10 straight years of Masala come talk to us


Unlike DDLJ in 1995. I loved DDLJ

JTHJ in 2012.

And if Shahrukh's CE is a blockbuster then it will prove that its the masala genre that is making Salman's movies click and not Salman himself..😆...but I think that people are starting to get bored of masala movies...which is bad news for Shahrukh and CE...but good news for the audience like me😆

I think by reinvention he means an overhaul in image and pulling off different kind of movies. Dabangg or Ready aren't great cinema but they are different from what Salman had been doing in past or even other heroes had been doing. It's about being able to find a new niche for yourself which Salman was able to do.

With all due respect to other Khans, I believe they cannot manage to make movies like Dabangg successful at all. They just don't have the gravitas to pull off such a film.

Has SRK managed a complete overhaul of image and then sustained success with it? CDI is the last such universally accepted attempt.
