Dunno about OMG as full credit should be given to Paresh
As comedy Salman and Aamir has greater comedy classic to their name. Their comedy timing is also just as good. There was also Judwaa, Biwi.No.1 and No Entry


Ofcourse Paresh should be given full credit, but we are talking about Akki-- and he was a part of the movie, plus he produced it as well, right? He gets credit, for having the guts to produce/act in a movie like OMG. Even in 2013, he is doing some Chabbi/chabbis movie with Anupam Kher, which Khans wouldnt/ arent do/doing.


SRK doesnt have comic timing unless we are talking about JTHJ and him passing off as a 25 year old😆 The other two are well below Akki wehn it comes to comedy, unless we are talking about Andaz Apna Apna, in which case nothing compares :D

Yeah he confuses audience. Does too many films. One or two good, rest all craps. Too bad he never managed to give a year's biggest hit or an ATBB. Even if he bounces back he just gives hits/superhits but never the yearly top grosser or ATBB.

I'm surprised why even in early 90s no big banner took him under their wings despite Mohra and Yeh Dillagi.

It's good he didn't fade away like Sunil Shetty and Sanjay Dutt and is ahead of Ajay.


Actually in boxoffice ratio
Ajay maybe at equal status. Ajay debut PAK was 2nd highest grosser of 91 after Saajan. Which was a super hit. Later he had many hits in 90s like Diljale, Jigar, Ishq, Suhaag, Naajayaz, Zakhm the later more noticeable bigger hits like Dilwale,Pyaar to hona hi Tha, Hum Dil Chuke Sanam. The came more serious films from Deewangee, Gangajal, TLOBS, Yuva,Apahran and Raincoat which took him off BO charts. Then his hits started again Omkara, Golmaal, All The Best, Golmaal returns, Golmaal 3, OUATIM, Singham, Raajneeti, SOS and Bol Bachchan

In fact he has 3 blockbusters which is also1 more than Akki

Akshay seems so badly slotted in his image that even if he does a different film it doesn't seem different. Special Chhabis is different and serious but I admit whenever I look at Akki's face it seems as if he'll break into a silly grin any moment! Subconsciously I forever expect him to break into that trademark silly grin he does in his comedy films.

You sure Diljale, Jigar types are clean hits? I agree Ajay had become bigger than Akki when he had Ishq, Pyar to honi hi tha and Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam. But Akki kind of played catch up in last decade when Ajay took a more serious route, no?

As of now he seems sort of ahead of Ajay in a sense that an Akki film at least becomes third biggest hit or second biggest hit unlike an Ajay Devgan film which becomes a hit but never collects much beyond 100 crore.

I KNOW! I watched Patiala House for him, and even as serious Gattu, I expected him to say something like Bazinga and break into that goofy grin of his! There was some rumors that he is doing Deepa Mehta's movie on some ship.. I think its called The Exclusion, but I wonder what happened to that!

But I agree, Akki's PR, if he has one, hasnt done a good job of giving him an image, plus there isnt someone powerful in the industry to talk about "how lovely and wonderful Akki is", given that he hasnt had any problems with anyone! His co-stars have nothing bad to say about him... he seems like a decent guy!
