Are SRK, Ranbir, Ranveer and SAK nobodies without Deepika? - Page 2

Wow .. people think Ash and Kareena have been bigger superstars than Deepika. That's weird. Neither Ash nor Kareena has a good BO record .. both of them have had only a few hit films. Most of their films have not done that well. They just are popular off screen as well and hence, their longevity. Deepika, on the other hand, has been delivering hits for past few years. In the recent past, only Katrina (and to certain extent PC) can come close to Deepika's stardom.

On topic, Piku did well .. Fanny was a niche film. It would not have done that well at BO anyway because it was more like an Hinglish film for a very niche audience. And add to that, it was actually not that well made. I mean the concept itself was good and the films starts off well but then that's it .. there isn't much fun dialogues and it kinda starts dragging after a while. It was really not that well made a film. DP can help in bringing in more audience for a good film but don't think that she has the kind of a starpower where she can save a bad film. For that matter, even Khans can't guarantee that anymore.

So basically saying, DP + <a popular actor> = chances of better business for a good film.

Only on this forum is Deepika some BO queen/savior/messiah. When Deepika did CE and YJHD, she wasn't the star she is today...and those are two of her biggest grossers. Today when she did Tamasha with Ranbir at a time when she's supposedly the BO queen, why didn't her presence help the film become a hit? Meanwhile, she does have two hits with Ranveer...but, who's to say if Ranveer wasn't in these films, they'd still do well? Piku had good content and WOM as well as good actors. We haven't seen Deepika carry an entire film by her mere screen presence yet.

^ and Deepika has the worst voice modulation and diction ..so far she has been lucky in terms of scripts and directors, yes she has improved but she's no where close to Kareena, PC or Kangana.

By that logic, why didn't SRK's presence make Dilwale bigger than BM? bcoz Content rules. Bad content won't work even with superstars.
