Apparently, blockbusters are a hilarious matter on this forum. Shahid doesn't have a good hit-flop ratio so he is insignificant. Hrithik couldn't manage a blockbuster outside his father's productions so he can't survive without Papa dearest. Ranbir hasn't managed a hit in the last two years so he is over.
On the one hand we complain how pathetic mindless masala movies are ending up being crazy successful, harming the quality of movies being made. And on the other, we judge an actor's credibility based on how many blockbusters they have under their belt. I get that a majority of Bollywood actors have not reached a place in their career where they can afford to not care about box office figures but give them some credit! They're not one-hit wonders who just disappeared into nothingness. Nepotism gives (albeit not always fair) chances but work speaks at the end of the day. Bollywood is not an easy industry to make into on one's own but it's not easy to survive even with connections. Those who have been here for a while have proven their mettle critically and commercially regardless of the number of hits or flops. A lean phase might dent their significance but their careers won't be over so soon.
I know nobody will have the time to even read this topic through let alone reply to it considering how busy they are analysing flop actors' flop careers but certain things are too ridiculous to bottle up.
