Has Dedh Ishqiya failed and Madhuri's comeback is jinxed? - Page 3

Hadnt her career already jinxed? Her 2007 starrer Aaja Nachle flopped big time. She dared to make a second comeback, which again didn't do wonders. This only shows that she's out of sight and out of memory!

Many of the comments seem to be about how Madhuri's comeback didn't turn out to be as successful as Sridevi as she isn't as huge as Sri.
Really?
If you compare Madhuri's hits with Sridevi's of that time, they were much bigger than Sridevi's with Madhuri overshadowing her co-stars. Also MADHURI WAS MUCH BIGGER STAR THAN SRI EVER WAS AND IT'S STILL THE SAME. (However, she is now definitely not as big as she was in 90s) In fact, Madhuri ranks 7th or 8th among actresses in the Forbes list of the last two year.
Someone said that Sridevi is known as female Rajinikanth. I don't know from where they bring such terms. I have never heard anything like that.
Did Sri's EV set the box office on fire? Was it 100 crore hit? Did it open big?
Forget all this, did anyone even talked about it before its release like Aaja Nachle which was said to be the MOST TALKED ABOUT COMEBACK EVER.
EV worked because it was a great film and had bigger appeal that can be enjoyed by family audience.

Has she got any film after EV? No, because it didn't work because of her star power and there aren't many who want to sign her.

As for Dedh Ishqiya, it's a very niche film and it's not even for all multiplex audience. And surely not a family film.

Besides, there are many great films with huge stars that didn't work like Swades, Black, Guzaarish, Lootera etc. And they were more family friendly than DI.

So, it would be wrong to blame Madhuri for the failure of DI, if that's the case.

No one ever expected this movie to be a big hit. I'm assuming most of the people have not even seen the movie especially shaitan-Haitian who has commented in a bunch of threads saying she's playing a prostitute in it. She plays a begum, widow of a nawab. There are no prostitutes in dedh Ishqiya. And do you understand actors play roles. They are not a prostitute if they play one I don't understand why people are so hateful. If you don't like a certain actor then don't watch their movies. It's so funny seeing the comments that Madhuri should just go back, she's finished etc. such mind sets are why actresses are tossed aside after a certain age. At least Madhuri is doing interesting roles in really good films unlike roles that the younger actresses are doing, and why should an actor stop working if they are no longer young or at the peak of their popularity. There are other roles in Bollywood other than that if the girlfriend of the hero. We need talented actors like madhuri, Kajol, sridevi and the likes to continue acting so we have a wide variety of actresses playing different roles. God knows mos of today's actresses like Katrina will not even get any roles when she's in her forties even if she wants because any sex appeal she has will be long gone and there is no acting talent. in conclusion, good actors should keep working and not worry about being number one and the underperformance of films like dedh Ishqiya is a failure of the Indian audience, not the film makers or actors.
