Deepika can not be compared to Kat when it comes to star power. 😊

Dhoom 3 scored at the box office because of Aamir Khan...period. 😆

In my opinion...It wasn't even as good as Dhoom 2...but it had Aamir Khan in it and that was enough.

No doubt Katrina was a huge superstar but seriously these days noone seems to care abt her 😕. Like if you ask anyone from kids to aunties everyone is like ' we love Deepika' just like if you ask people who their fav Bollywood actor is most common answer is Shahrukh Khan😆. Also Katrina is senior to Deepika. When Deepika came Katrina was already an established superstar so IDK how to compare but Deepika has surpassed her in stardom now.

Race 2 was a franchise film lol. Its prequel was massive hit and that created the hype. To say DP made it success is hilarious. What star power did she had then? Her 5 out 6 films before Race was box office duds. And can she give 20 cr opening with a newcomer?

Agreed. Dhoom 3 was TERRIBLE ,even Aamir disappointed me and I am a big Aamir fan. Ranveer is not a star for sure. A great film like Lootera flopped proving Sonakshi and Ranveer's stardom. Actually Ranveer hasnt proved his stardom at all. Noone of the young actors have except for Ranbir.

Who is talking about whether D3 was good or not.. we're talking about "star power". Katrina contributed a lot to Dhoom3's success.. whether Deepika's fans admit it or not.

Deepika is the flavour of the season just like Vidya. She was touted as the next big female star, people here thought she surpassed Katrina but where is she today? Yep. Nowhere to be seen 😆

Attributing D3 success to Katrina is hillarious 😆 who vanished in the movie with just a blink of eye..

Sure, she was great in songs, but the major money earned is due to Aamir, try replacing Aamir with a flop actor in D3 and then we can talk about if Kat is indeed a crowd puller..

Deepu's lungi dance is more popular than Kat's Kamli 😆

Even being a Deepu fan, I agree to this. R2 was a hit due to its prequel..nothing attributed to Deepu's presence 😆 By then she was not even an established actress, it's after the 3 films after R2 that she has become a reigning queen.

Also Saif is massively underrated here. He might not be a superstar, but has given decent number of hits. I'd rate him ahead of Shahid interms of crowd pulling power.
