Khans were not flowerpots in those films that they be denied credit.
She might have made more impact but those movies are with Khans only. Not anyone else!
How can we say Dabangg type movies are Khan movies and others are not? By that standard KKHH, DDLJ are Kajol movies not SRK ones!
Khans were established by then. Not even newbies whose presence you seem to be discrediting.
No, I had said she has not acted with the Khans for more than a decade, not that never at all.
Khans have been at the top for two decades now, and when she debuted, it was inevitable that she would get offers opposite them. Which she did. My point was that, when she had problems with them, she was still able to survive without the mighty Khans. And that continues to this day when she rejects a Happy New Year which would have been a guaranteed-blockbuster comeback film.
Khans were not flowerpots in those films that they be denied credit, true. But Ash wasn't no flowerpot either to completely label it a "Khan film" [Speaking specifically about Devdas here].
How are KKHH, DDLJ Kajol movies? I said Devdas is a Rai movie as much as it is a Khan movie, as in no one was a flowerpot there and both had significant contributions. Same is the case with DDLJ and KKHH.
Why I called HDDCS and Devdas SLB movies rather than Khan or Rai movies is because of the films were made to suit SLB's sensibilities as a filmmaker rather than all the focus being on making SRK or Salman playing their parts. That happened with an OSO or a Dabangg and they are Khan movies. That is the way I see it. Just my perspective of looking at things.
