After witnessing the fiasco Dilwale turned out to be plus the consistent unsuccessful attempts in the last few years, sad is an understatement IMO 😆

You REALLY don't know your stuff do you. "pretty much folded by '74"? Nope.

1975's Prem Kahani was a super hit.

1976's Maha Chor was a box office hit. Mehbooba with Hema Malini also did well due to the soundtrack.

1977's Chhalia Babu was the 5th highest grosser of the year. Anurodh was also in the Top 10 of the year. Karm with Shabana Azmi was also a bonafide hit.

1978's Chakravyuha with Neetu Singh had a golden jubilee. His double role in Bhola Bhala with Rekha was appreciated although not a big hit.

1979's Amar Deep was a major success along with Prem Bandhan with Rekha once again.

Even in the early-mid 80s he had continued success and was nominated several more times.

These movies didn't do well...Infact Shaan is regarded as one of the disasters of ALL TIME...Same goes for Satte pe Satta ,Mahaan pukar etc.

First of all, by not emboldening a film each from 1980, 1981, 1982, 1983, 1984, 1985 and 1988, you are inadvertently admitting that indeed AB did have significant hits throughout the 80s. Kinda embarrassing😆

Shaan was the 5th highest grosser of 1980 - it was expected to match Sholay by the same team, and that's the only reason why it was seen as disappointing. However, because it released in December of 1980, it went on to do business in early 1981 which actually made it crossing the total of the biggest hit of '80.

Naseeb was the 2nd highest grosser of 1981.

1982 saw AB score 3 Top 10 grossers including Namak Halal (3rd), Satte Pe Satta (6th) and Shakti (8th), which only "underperformed" because for a first time casting coup of Dilip Kumar + Amitabh Bachchan it wasn't a mega success as expectations were huge.

Pukar had a silver jubilee at the box office. Mahaan was a sizeable hit. As was Aakhree Raasta (Top 5 of '86).

So like I said, to praise one star, it is completely unnecessary to drag down others. AB did have a slump, but it was not in 1979... more like a whole decade later.

SRK's achievements are unmatched. He is the King. He doesn't need this kind of cheap praise.

Cheap Praise??? Don't be offensive for the lack of argument & logic!!5th biggest hit..If that is success, then what is failure??

Shaan is regarded as Ramesh Sippy's biggest Dud...Saagar pulled him out of it!!

1981 saw the huge Silsila flopping...In late seventies there were many movies like Khoon Paseena, Gunga Ki Saugandh etc which didn't do well...

Infact in late 80s he has massive duds such as Toofan,Ajooba ,Janga Jumna Saraswati Indrjeet etc ...Even his critically acclaimed films such as Agneepath & Main Azaad Hoon bombed!!!
