But these movies flopped whereas the Khans' crap movies also made money. But when the younger stars do quality cinema, it gets appreciated. Hence, they have realized that quality is the key.


Which quality movie of Arjun, Ranveer, RK worked in recent times? Ranveer last quality movie was lootera he confessed it and the fate of it FLOP at boxoffice. Arjun's last hit? his both offbeat attempts Finding fanny and Aurangzeb boxoffice FLOPS. Varun's only quality hit is Badlapur. ABCD2 is bashed by critics the ratings on par with Khans crap masalas. Facts girl check facts. RK's last quality hit Barfi 3 years ago. After that he tried to be different with a Kashyap movie that was far from a masala the result DISASTER.

I said appreciated I didn't say hits. Appreciation is not always box office numbers. It could be critical rankings, awards, audience love etc. At times these quality products also become hits. Like Varun's Badlapur and Haidar of Shahid Kapoor.Its not that the younger lot is averse to flops. They, deespite the flops,are experimenting. That's the best part.

that is because all of them each one of the young stars tried the khan's masala genre and failed. If you fail at something its common sense to stay away from it. Did you watch BB? its not masala. Prem ratan dhan payo is not masala its a romantic movie and family drama like all Rajshri movies of past. Raees and fan are not masalas. Talaash, dhobi ghaat, PK are not masala. Its the Khans whose preparing different movies at this moment. Tell me what different movie Varun, Arjun and Sid doing? Varun is doing masala Dhishoom and Ramlakhan. Sid doing masala movie Brothers with Akshay. Arjun is sitting jobless.

U said khans and aamir is one of the khan.. But I agree.. Salmans bb is different and really good but before bb.. His movie selections were terrible... Srk haven't had a decent movie since 2008..akshay and ajay sign anything and everything that comes their way.. So with the exception of Aamir
I would have to agreed with u.. I don't know how brave ranbir would be after recent failures..but he certainly has done different movies in the short time that he has been around..

Not Aamir!
After TZP, 3 Idiots and Dhobi Ghat we cannot say Aamir ever celebrates mediocrity! Hes always seeking to excel and try new ideas, thats why hes called Mr. Perfectionist.

But Sallu definitely basks in mediocrity and kitsch!

SRK has been dabbling in mediocrity in his recent movies but Im hoping with Raees and Fan he will change that and go back to the risk-taking business.

Young stars experiment? Main tera hero, Gunday, LVRB, Kill Dil, Besharam etc are experiments? 😆

People go to watch Khan films for them only. Young guys haven't earned the stardom when people go to watch films just for them only. That's why their films don't work. Accept reality instead of bashing seniors.

A Khan film might be crap for you but for lot of audience it isn't. It's because they went to watch their fav star. Plus there are many who just want timepass and old fashioned entertainers. Don't blame Khans, Ajay and Akki if new guys haven't been able to please the masses and haven't struck a chord with single screen and small town audience.
Youngsters look childish in masala/action films. They aren't like Sunny Deol, Anil Kapoor, Jackie Shroff who ate into AB's audience in 80s and early 90s.

Masses have clear favourites. They rarely let go of a star easily. This is why even in early 90s some AB flops also earned better than others.

Young stars have to do something entirely different to catch audience's attention. Like 90s actors did romantic and family films based in urban areas which were refreshing change from action films based in rural areas.

If they keep attempting same stuff that previously established stars do then they will struggle to make a mark. Even Hrithik's success has been in superhero and period films where he has an edge over 90s brigade.

One should offer something which others don't have. Or be a better alternative. Only then a change can be expected.
