Like the Khans, but I do not want to see them romance Alia or younger 😵 so at some point and soon, like in the next 5 years they have to go. They are 47.

Problem is, there is a huge gap between them and Ranbir's generation, what should be the in between decade of stars most of them have crashed and burned. Out of the people who debuted after the Khans like Bobby, Abhi, Akshay Khanna and Rahul Khanna, Vivek, Uday, Tusshar, Saif, Ajay Devgan, Shahid Kapoor only Hrithik has a career to even challenge them and Akki. Ajay is not in their league stardom wise. Who is left ? Saif ? Nawab is barely hanging as an actor, he has a better track record as a producer and Shahid is one flop away from forever going.

Ranbir will be a superstar someday, but not with a 7 year career, everyone else has even less. The Khans were not superstars in 7 years. He needs time to build a base. The Khans can bring in the masses. Even films like JaiHo, RaOne, JTHJ and they were terrible can bring in 100 crores. It is because of the fanbase the Khans have. They each have 25+ years of a career. To stay that long is nothing short of remarkable.

Hollywood is changing, the era of the superstar like a Tom Cruise is ending. Audiences and tastes are changing, So too I think probably BW and it will depend more on the content of film than the name behind it.

I find nothing outstanding in Ranbir's 7 year record. SRK had load of hits in first 7 years and roles ranging from Darr, Baazigar, Anjaam, KHKN to DDLJ, KKHH. Aamir had Raakh, QSQT, Dil, AAA and did manage to give a yearly top grosser despite clash. Salman had 2 ATBBs in first 7 years, and did have romantic hits as well as ones laced with action like Karan Arjun and showed comic timing in AAA.

In past there was Anil Kapoor who was doing different roles like tapori, lover, mentally challenged, regular action hero and succeeding.

What extraordinary thing Ranbir has done? He is nice but nothing extra special.

And I disagree Khans have forgotten to act. Not all of them. Aamir was good in Talaash and fab in couple of scenes where he remembers his dead son.

Why Ranbir still needs more time? Khans gave ATBBs in first 7 years! Always buying time to excuse him.

So u mean 2 say Salman doesn't have any lines to say in his movies, all his movies are SILENT MOVIES? To Say lines, you have to ACT, the basic need 2 do a FILM. If he is such a bad Actor, Why is he survived this far now? Hell, he wasn't doing masala in start even... He started with ROMANTIC ATBB, a record which is still unbreakable. HAHK, Romantic film.

If Ranbir is such a Good Actor, Why Besharam failed? Why Aurangzed Failed? They are good actors just for 1 film? Barfi or 2 States... Hell u guys won't be naming Arjun in comparison 2 Salman if he wouldn't have done 2 States...

CRITICS jiss film ko pasand karle, woh Quality film, Celeb doing it becomes ACTOR, phir chahe woh ghatiya se ghatiya film kion na karle 😆

No I disagree with last point of yours

RIGHT NOW(IN OTHER WORDS CURRENTLY) they aren't

When you watch films like D3, CE or Jai Ho - you might be mesmerized by their star power but at same point they irritate you or make you cring with their overacting/underacting

Sara you yourself don't like current breed of actors... So that's why you aren't agreeing that these Khans have forgot how to act. Among actors its Ranbir and HR which are good actors now, for be former being at top

Hrithik doesn't have an ATBB in 14 years. Aamir had one in D3 since 2000. SRK doesn't have one since 2000 afaik. So maybe times have changed compared to 90s!

Aamir's 3 Idiots and Ghajini are ATBBs.

What was rating for BO of CE? Need to cross check.

Hrithik did not have ATBB but at least gave yearly top grosser twice in 7 years unlike dhakka start gaadi Ranbir Kapoor whose film is never even second biggest hit of the year.

Comparison when made, you should perform that way also, It was BOI renovation which made Salman's ATBB Dabangg BB, Aamir's ATBB Ghajini BB, otherwise you would be having 3 ATBB's in last 5 years of KHANS.

Ranbir in 7 year had just 1 BlockBuster, while KHANS in their initial 7 years had way bigger ATBB/BB/HITS/SUPERHITS.

Time has changed, so is infrastructure, Movie like Barfi also make 100 cr just coz today Multiplex audience are ready to pay 150-200 rs a ticket, while when Khan's debuted that time Ticket rate was just 10-15 rs. Barfi got critical acclaim, Social Media Help, Print Media Help which pushed its business, while when Khan's debuted, only Radio was source of Entertainment. No TV promotions.

KHANS have made RECORDS in Every structure. While Ranbir, just in Plex way.
