This year is yet to unfold many huge surprises.. yes. But one thing is for sure. Srk's King khan status is well gone, and just as he should be ready to accept no.3 position, that even looks in danger now as the gap between the 2 top khans and srk widens. Last 8 years, its either been Aamir or Salman on the top2. That;s a long time Srk havent done anything to match up but he was comfortable till Fan, as no.3.
Now, as it seems 109 Crs movie on 3500 screens release with no clash with superstar Ranveer singh, NO PROTESTS (yes, can u blv it, no protests), partial Holidays in North, is taking aakhri saansein, to get to 90 Crs. I dont blame the genre but yes, all out publicity gimmicks that srk is known for.. was missing. I mean of ppl, non actors, non superstars like Sid M- Shradha can do 100 plus Crs thriller and Hritesh steals the show, therez no other excuse for srk movie.
Raees looked always promising to me for a movie, BO jaye bhad me.. type of movie. But coz its a time not much in favour of srk BOwise, clash with Sultan will hurt Srk's status and equilibrium of 3 khans will be shaken. It was only Srk who has been consistent superstar all these 2 decades of the 3. Aamir was hardly a force in 90s, Salman was either huge hit and lots of misses, but on the back of srk.. the khan trio had years to get back to "3 khans rule BW" as they r pitted as one entity. But now the very base is shaken. Gone r the days when salman can afford flop parades and aamir go in hibernation for 4 years (no news in media as if he is vanished in thin air) and still come back to fill the missing pieces of khan trio. SrK was always there as a consistent strong base.
Its new low for srk, and this year from August onwards is gonna be the battle of giants never seen before. All the stars (male) worth their names r putting their best foot forward.
So, lots of goodwill for all 3 khans for 2 plus decades and also recent past and now year 2016 when the game of numbers will be so much on top, ppl will forget abt awards if they r still interested in them in anyways.
Predict whats gonna come next, not in terms of quality but strictly the number game. Will srk lose 3rd rank by the end of the year and if so to who? Or will he sustain at no.3? Or will he even falls down to no. 5?
PS_ strictly based on BO ranks which has all the elements in proportion to decide one's rank.
1. Your last movie
2. Your last 5 movies
3. Your last 10 movies.
4. This year
5. Your last 3 years
6. Your last 5 years
7. Your last 10 years
8. Your past whole career (goodwill)
9. What's coming next (calculated guess or prediction)
10. Others who r in the loop (calculated guess or prediction)
And of course, who remembers no.2 in history? Its always about no.1. So by the end of this year, who will be undisputed no.1 from Salman and Aamir? Their 2 movies must have 100 Crs gross diff. to call it or else, they both r nick to nick... case pending for another 2 years. haha, Aamir sets the pace.
PS_ PPL who hates BO, plz book your tickets online.
