RAJA HINDUSTANI - Aamir's 1st ATBB - NO ATG - MASALA Film - REVIVED his Career.

GHAJINI - Aamir's 2nd ATBB - ATG 1st - MASALA Film - REVIVED again his Career.

Where were scripts in these films??? Would Aamir be giving ATG now if he would have landed with 3 Idiots on Single Screen?

Now Salman has pull up himself from deep down path & now become Stable, Even his Non-Script, most pathetic rated Ready made 121 Cr, Huge 2nd biggest BlockBuster of that Year, even Tripple the business of those Content films.

His scenario is different, You give anything 2 him, he isn't Bound 2 just 1 concept, Can make his film big on his own, so just coz now BB is doing more business, doesn't mean his earlier films doesn't have that charm.

1st you write off Salman coz of his 2000-2009 streak off films, you write him off coz of his cases, if he comes with Dabangg & Start giving BlockBuster, you again Write him off as he doesn't do Good films, you keep on writing off him in every film, now the same salman who chooses those scripts & Selects BB & Do film, now thr is Change Salman 😆

Make a TALAASH - ALL TIME GROSSER, i believe CONTENT is KING, make a SWADES - BlockBuster, will bow down to CONTENT... don't be bias 2 scenario when Audience needs only 1 thing - Entertainment.

The issue is not with masala films or content driven films..I don even get why a distinction is made..So long as a film is entertaining, i don care which genre it belongs to..The problem is ppl take the genre for granted & assume adding 4 mass songs, 5 action scenes, a lame love track & a random rivalry makes for an entertaining masala film..Thats not enough..You need a decent script & good acting even to make commercial films work..So yeah, no one is dissing the genre..I think its good if stars realize that content matters to an extent & they can make ten times more money if its a well made film instead of just relying on their star power cos that way we'l get better masala films too😆

P.S. I personally love masala films ( even cliched ones) and i also think better masala films are made down South..Atleast the ratio of masala films i have liked down South is much much greater than the Bollywood masala films i have liked so far😆

THIS. I was trying to convey the same thing, but clearly you are much more articulate than I am 😆
Even a commercial movie needs a decent script and proper ability to engage the audience. Just a couple of songs, a couple of sexist jokes donot make a movie entertaining and commercial. It's the conflcit in the story and performances that make a movie entertaining. Now if the story is cliched or fresh or old wine in a new bottle is a different story altogether. 😆

Also, if we diss a couple of commercial movies coz of their sexist nature, or random storyline, people assume we are dissing the commercial genre only...😆


Edit : +1 , better Masala movies have been made south. But now even there the quality of masala is detoriating 😆 Recently, I watched Maari and what an awful movie it was...can't believe I had expectations from that movie.

Why is Salman doing Sultan, Prdp and srk doing Raees and Fan.

I agree👍🏼

BB was different from anything Salman has done in the past.For him it was a big risk.Only the makers were confident.The trade never expected in their dreams that it woould take off like this

BangBang started at 25 crores and had a handsome jodi..it made 150cr!
Agneepath started at 25 crores and made 120 crores.

ETT,Kick,CE..they all started with bang..

Lets not even talk about films like HNY..SR🥱

It is good word of mouth that has made it a 300+ ATBB

The first half has been very good for Bollywood..lets not forget Baahubali..The film has super trending and withstood the BB avalanche
TWMR started at 9 crore and made almost 150 crores😲

If a film trends well,it is a good film.People can protest here all they want..
