Do none of the Khans care about quality anymore? - Page 5

I like Ranbir, but that's not true. Aamir has 100 times more goodwill than any other mainstream actor. Lagaan, 3 Idiots, and RDB. It'll override anything...then he has PK which is expected to be like 3 Idiots...and if it is, then people will forget something called Dhoom existed anyways. 😆 Ranbir has faith amongst audience too, but nowhere near as much. ...probably second most after Aamir though.

Did they ever? Amir Khan excluded.

KHAN there is IRFAN KHAN TOO

i think Indians just want to be entertained. However I fail to understand how one can be entertained by the same stuff over and over again...

Absolutely.

But did Amir do it in the first ten years of his career?

Of course, there were not enough good movies made back then, but still. Look at the movies he started with. Embarrassing. SRK-Salman were doing better films then.

But Ranbir, took a risk with a de-glam movie like Rocket Singh in the beginning of his career. This guy is something else, in my opinion.

And Ranbir is still young. Building up goodwill takes a lot of time. Give him a few more years, and let the Khans subside, he will be right there.

But Amir definitely has a lot more goodwill than anyone else, no doubt.

I'm no Aamir fan, but if I look back at his films from the 90's, they're even better than what he did post-Lagaan IMHO. It's just he got more fame later in life...and his films started performing better then too. JJWS, Sarfarosh, AAA, Rangeela. I loved Ishq, Ghulam, Hum Hain rahi Pyar Ke and all too. The big huge success of 90's with Aamir was his worst film ...Raja Hindustani. Besides the songs, I cannot find one reason why that awful film worked. His very early ones post QSQT, then I haven't seen many of them, but overall in terms of memorable films, Aamir definitely has the upper hand on the other aging stars in his generation.

In terms of goodwill, Aamir, SRK, and Ajay had pretty good to decent goodwill in the audience. Salman was always too topsy turvy...but even he used to have some goodwill, which he killed in 2000's. SRK and Ajay have killed theirs too.

Hmm, I don't think a film with YRF and the writer/director team of Chak De India is a risk at all tbh. Barfi I would consider a risk. WUS to some extent also, but not RS. But yes, I think Ranbir is fine...and he'll last too, but I was just saying that his goodwill does not and cannot compare to the kind Aamir has today.

What are you saying! The Khans are producing some of the finest quality crap. Have you ever seen shit that is shined and glossed so much? Have you ever seen shit that is packaged and promoted at such high value? This is top quality shit you won't get anywhere else. The Khans have gone above and beyond the definitions of high quality this year.

The name Aamir is synonymous with quality cinema. A dhoom 3 is not going to change that. On paper, it seemed like a novel idea and was supposed to be more than just gloss which the Dhoom series is associated with. The execution wasn't there and it turned out to be a sort of mess but it won't affect Aamir in any way just like a Besharam won't affect Ranbir's goodwill among his audience.

Raees sounds promising for SRK. Salman has the SB project but more often than not they'll stick to the crap they're associated with.

But, the new generation seems promising. Not just Ranbir...Ranveer, Arjun, Farhan, Sushant...all seem to believe in the power of the script and are not averse to taking risks and trying new and different things. They refuse to be a victim of their own image and will be diversifying among all genres. The future is Bright.
