what people don't realize is that talaash wasn't actually a thriller. Thriller movies work all the time, look at airlift, neerja. Airlift actually made 120cr, look at holiday, etc. So these movies always work.

talaash was actually a suspense movie and suspense movies hardly work in India.its on the lines those old movies like someone gets killed and u have to find out who it is, not a chase, no real thrills.

the reason for fan not working is not because of genre but because it was not accepted by audience, it was simply a bad movie. I was looking forward to it, watched it first day first show and was really disappointed. SRK's acting was fine but the movie not so much.

and what was the need for all the vfx and wanting to make him look different when u have him easily playing srk so if he just looks like srk then why make him not look like srk? one moment he is looking exact copy of srk and everyone is fooled and the next moment he is back to gaurav 👏

and then the superstar is chasing him throughout the movie all by himself, kiya baat hain.

and he couldn't just say sorry to end it all. aamir would have said sorry and end it rite there but not srk, he would fight with him and let the man die but not say sorry, how can he say sorry he is superstar 😆

Those people who were mocking Aamir khan's star power at the time of talaash are coming up with lame excuses to defend SRK now. Going by their own logic fan has pretty much summed up SRK's Star power and box office pull.



forget about it, useless telling them all this, just a waste of time

don't u know ghajini had asin who married a billioniare now that matters man 😆

How did u forget Murugadoss, the superstar director, not trying to belittle Murugadoss, but he was made out to be the sole reason for the success of the film here.As if Aamir khan was a nobody.

ranveer was better in lootera than overhyped aadhi pakao movie bm.
I was kinda sad that he got robbed for not receiving any awards for lootera, but then I am happy he got it for aadhi pakoo movie bm.

pls say I am making your day, say it now.


Love Ranveer in each and every role he has done .
Bajirao is his best.

You know nothing Bri 😆 😆

Exactly.

Rab ne had just released and there were only ard 25 people in the theater where I watched it.
Whereas Ghajini I waited for a week .Everywhere it was sold out.
And people here say Aamir has no BO pull 😆 😆 😆

It is hilarious what stupid excuses people come up with when their favs movie doesn't work. 😆

Dont know whats the HUGE hurry to declare Fan a flop after only 6 days.😕
It still has one more week till Baaghi releases, and even after that it can continue in some theaters.
Talash also added a little bit every day to make what it did...its budget was low so it just abt managed to recover its money.

Here is a comparative analysis of the 2 movies...Fan is still having same trend as Talash as far as BO is concerned.

Btw seriously I love how Aamir is underestimated in IF on every aspect be it acting, BO pull or looks by all pandits😆
Someone called Aamir khan fans as endangered species in some post...🤣

Its quite an achievement that a person with not so much capabilities churn out wonderful record breaking movies😆

FYI, most of the genuine SRK fans like and appreciate Aamir too, myself included. Because we like their acting, not just their BO records.

You may not have noticed us defending Aamir in many of the intolerance threads but many of us did when he was being bashed on the forum at that time.

Its the Salman fans who gleefully celebrate every flop movie of every other actor to glorify their own star. Whether its Ranbir or Akshay or Hrithik or Ajay, everytime their movie flops, this fan group posts BO topics and celebrates these actors' downfall. I have defended HR, Ranbir, even Akki on many such BO bashing topics.

And you are here again blaming n generalising all Salman fans again.

The budget plays a big role in a films success and failure. Fan has a way larger budget than all the films being mentioned.
