Hrithik was hurt by certain things

- over expectations after great debut

- signing too many films and then getting over conscious after their failure. He got so conscious that he stopped signing more films.

- this Hollywood hangover. Sorry but he took it too seriously that he was considered Hollywood material. Since then he stopped doing desi roles, dyed his hair brown, developed an accent. He does not have the earthy appeal of KNPH, K3G, Fiza anymore.

- poor relationship with media, poor marketing, too many breaks between films

- sticks too much to dad and that has dented his image as mere daddy's boy

- news of affairs and now divorce dented his image further

- has no niche except superhero films or emperor type roles. This type of image cannot endear one to masses for long. They like a common man doing heroic things. Krissh series has slotted him as a kids' actor.

His dance is great but Western. He just lacks desi-ness.

Khans clubbing themselves together, being great at PR or marketing etc is true. But one cannot ignore Hrithik's disconnect with masses.

He just didn't capitalise on twin successes of 2006.

His choices haven't been great. DCH, RDB, 3 Idiots he rejected them all. It shows his poor script sense.

He has great potential but needs major reinvention to be a force to reckon with.

I respect your views but I have to disagree and here are the reasons why,

Some of the films that came after KNPH were signed by him before the release of KNPH and at that point of time he couldn't have known how big a success it was going to be.

Getting "over conscious" has helped him hasn't it? His record is much better now compared to that time.

Has he developed an accent? Watch his interviews from earliest times. I can't sense a change in accent. Also as far as stopped taking Desi roles is concerned. He did "Koi Mil Gaya", "Lakshya", "Guzaarish", "Agneepath" etc. In my view they were not "Hollywood" type roles. If being desi means "Tapori" roles then as a fan I am glad he hasn't done something like it.

His relationship with media is not bad. He meets up with them during the release of his movies. The fact that his movies often come after a lot of time makes it feel like much more of a gap than it truly is.

What's wrong with sticking with his dad? Even Salman stays with his family, SRK often says how he wishes his parents were here to witness how much successful he has become and how proud they would have been to see it. Will breaking away from his dad help his image?

Again, which actor in the industry has not had articles written about him linking him to other actresses or women from outside the industry. The divorce thing is sad, but how does it matter to a viewer who is deciding on watching his movie, whether he's married or not anymore?

He's actually very connected to the masses and enjoys a chunk of support from them. If that wasn't the case then his movies won't be scoring record openings every other time. His support in South India is at par or close to the biggest stars there. Also if "Krrish" has earned even 150 crore at the BO (let's take lower than the lowest figure) that can't be possible because of kids alone. Even if he has been slotted as a kids favorite, I don't see anything wrong with that. Kids love him, he is there fav actor. I think it is wonderful.

Dance lacking desiness is again perception based. What is his fault if he can dance well and his body is flexible enough to allow him to do such steps that other superstars can't do. People come to the theatres and enjoy his dance numbers. I grew up watching his movies in single screens and they really enjoy his dancing. During the songs they come near the screen and try to imitate his steps.

In 2006 he had Krrish and Dhoom 2. He did Jodha Akbar and Guzaarish after that. If capitalising on his success means that he should have done more masala and run of the mill movies instead of films that hepled him grow as an actor then again I am happy as a fan that he did not capitalize on his twin successes.

So he rejected 3 films that went on to become hits and that shows his "poor" script sense, but what about the films that he HAS done. His success ratio is still pretty great considering all the varied genre he has attempted. That must show his "great" script sense then. Other actors have also left movies that have gone on to become hit's.

I don't think he needs a major reinvention or anything of any kind. He is doing movies for the fans and for Himself as well. After doing a JA he did Guzaarish after that ZNMD after that Agneepath, Krrish 3, Bang Bang and now he's doing Mohenjodaro. He could easily do a Bang Bang kind of movie every other year and it will go on to earn crores and then relax. but he still goes on to do a Mohenjodaro instead which is risky, different, will take time and is not a sure shot success, just because he wants to do better as an actor. I love him and respect him for that and if all this means that he will stay at 4th or 5th or 6th for ever, well, I don't mind it at all. 😊

But he's never been at the top position, like the Khans are, I mean it was never Like Hrithik at 2 or 3 forget one...So what does he lack? IMO I think it has something to do with his boring offscreen personality.

@All Blacks, you might be right about that, I've noticed he does less promotions and wasn't been written about a lot before this whole thing with his marriage, but Aamir is the same and he's almost always been top 3!

^^ Atominis, very well explained !!! 👏

Also, the fake figures of Krish 3 should be included, coz tht almost spoiled his reputation to some extent., and he was so embarassed as per his tweets as far as i know...

I think those r the only 2 releases we know as of now.

Yeah so after 2005, 2007, 2009 now 2015 he will have no release 😕😕

Maybe that is why he is not no.1

But as long as he happy with himself ⭐️⭐️

Loving yourself is so awesome 😆

He is very very hard to connect to offscreen. No charm or personality. Very boring, serious types...who sometimes tries too hard.
