Are Salman and SRK just hype? - Page 5

it doesn't matter. pK is a Hirani film and Hirani film does that kind of business. If sanjay dutt's biopic crosses 250 cr, it doesn't mean Ranbir's stardom has reached 250 crores.
Dhoom is a loved franchise so it's difficult to speculate whether the audience went for Dhoom or Aamir. from what i saw, his fans were not happy with dhoom so the movie went big due to the franchise popularity.

You cannot give a dud like Talaash in the middle if you want to be regarded at the top. That's why i want to see how his next movie fares which won't have Hirani and is not a franchise like Dhoom.
What are you upset about? 😆

People bring "crap scripts argument" as if that's something to be proud about. D3 is bashed here mostly yet it broke all records. Ghajini was a masala film that set records. Aamir's masala attempts have a minimum standard at least and that's a good thing actually.

Talaash was a semi-hit and did 90 cr business though it was a multiplex movie. Aamir has done Ghajini. Can Salman even pull off a Talaash now let alone make it work? His Tere Naam was a decade ago. All other different attempts like Veer, London Dreams etc have tanked. So what's the logic in saying Bhai's fans will make those films hit? His fans make a certain kind of films succeed. He himself has said that his art films won't work as his fans don't wanna see that.

Aamir can set records with a Ghajini, D3 as well as 3I and PK. That's versatility and star power. He brings in people who doesn't usually go to watch films into theaters along with fans. That's why his films does record breaking business.

Lol.

It is Hirani who has benifited from Aamir rather than vice versa. At the time of 3 Idiots Hirani was just a director who had given two amazing and successful movies. A lot of directors do that, infact have done that.

Most people didnt even watch MunnaBhai series until 3 Idiots became the phenomeneon it did. It was 3 Idiots that proppelled Hirani to the top and onto the world stage.

Aamir was the reason for that. Three Idiots did 200 crores becuase it was an Aamir Khan film. Not becuase Hirani was the director.

Coming to PK, yes now Hirani has the BO pull, thanks to what he has done before. But again Aamir is a huge, huge reason as to why PK is doing so well. A much bigger reason than Hirani.

As for Talaash, the film did 96 crores without a holiday period in the genre that it is. What else were you expecting?? 😆😆Suspense thrillers dont do big in Hollywood let alone here. It takes guts to do something like that.

Shahrukh had Don2, JTHJ etc and Salman Jai ho. Full on comercial entertainers yet no word on them. The further icing on the cake is that Don 2 is a part of a huge franchise and was a holiday release too(yes it was Xmas).What happened??😆😆

So, no Hirani was never the reason fo Aamir's success. And Aamir is indeed way ahead of either Salman and Shahrukh in terms of well... everything.

Huh?? Really? You can't possibly think that's true.

So if Aamir can guarantee 200 Cr, what did happen to Talaash? Your words, not mine here. But here I guess 'genre' and 'no holidays' will come handy for excuses here. *rolls eyes*

On the other hand, Hirani's next after 3I will cross 300. But that must be all because of Aamir too.

Next Aamir should make a film with only him standing in it, make it by himself, with no writers, editors, directors, or any other help. Let's see it make 500 Cr.

With over hiking the ticket prices for movie like pk and hny , they think they have broke the record. If u count the no of tickets sold comparing Sallu movies with other star then Sallu is miles ahead. That's why he is called mass superstar. Even shit movie like jai ho ticket price were reduced that's why jai ho was 110 cr , if it was not reduced it would have grossed 150 cr easily.
