Abt BO power, Hits-flops etc.. lets just say BOI which is totally biased against HR also has HR having 53% success ratio career wise.. which the best of any big star-actor EVER is history of BW .. for some1 who has done more than 10 films or more than 10 years!
When ppl talk much abt Hr's flops.. they forget that he has 5 BBs out of 19 films. Right from his very first to his last one! Now, the question why hez considered biggest star after the Khans?
Im old enuff to have followed Khans since 1989.. and have noticed that "3 Khans" brand have helped them endlessly. Aamir was never Big in 90s.. sometimes not even in top 5. He has also been missing for years in 2000s.. but whenever he comes back with hit like Gajini .. hez considered right into top bracket "3 Khans". Salman had flops after flops in 2000s first decade.. one of his best films (acc to his fans) Tere Naam was crushed by KMG.. BO wise- performance wise. HR won all awards agaisnt some best performances by BigB, Srk, Salman, Sanjay etc that year! Still soon as Salman starts hiving hits, again the "3 Khans" brand comes into play. SRK is the only one who has consistent over last 2 decades.
Back in days.. Rajendra Kumar suffered the same fate 😆 Coz of Raj-Dilip-Dev trio.. Even tho' Rajendra's most movies were doing silver jubillies (25 weeks run on BO) , he was always considered 4th.
Now, just imagine a surname change. Take any Khan out of the "3 Khans" list and put Hrithik in it. The Khan thats left out wud be struggling to break into the top bracket. This is all about perception.
There are many ways to consider someone's starpower or acting prowess. HR ticks almost all the boxes.
-Success ratio- 53% and above.
-Disater- none
-worldwide- He has only one flop... Fiza
-Awards- truckloads of them
-Big banners- alwaying knocking his doors. He signed JA when he was giving flops.
-Salary- arguably highest paid in BW. 50 Crs for MD might be true.
-Fan followings- from 3 years old to 90 years old.. (my nani (mom's mom) passed away last night age 91.. she liked HR too).
-Look, height-body, dance, acting- intensity, action-stunts..
-good relations with co-stars.
-a good human being.. divorce may be the biggest dark chapter so far..
So, U see its all about perception. Also, in last 4 years, Khans r having a ball altogether. And still HR helds it on his own. No mean feat! Just look at clicks hez getting on YT.. which is an open medium for all net users unlike social mediums of fan groups.
And as a HR fan, yes.. I like to see him doing more movies. Even if means Kites in between some 4 good films. But for that I do wish health and mental peace! 😊
Spoken like true fan, havent I? 😆
