SRK have worst Script Choice ? - Page 12

Oh boy! Shahrukh who has been acting for more than three decades now has no artisitc quality...okayyy! 😆 A guy who started in theater and then went on to work in television apparently lacks artisitc quality. A guy who only started working in the film industry as he wanted a change of scene after his mother's passing lacks artistic quality, some of the stuff you come across here is truly something else man. The fact that he experimented with negative roles should tell one that he was very rooted to what he had learnt in his theater days. He didn't see those as roles the way some of his peers did. They rejected it because of the hero image or the leading man image. He went onto own that genre. He then broke that mould and went on to do romantic movies and owns that genre too. Here's someone who has done a variety of roles and that's called being an artist. If he has done out and out commercial movies like OSO, MHN, CE then he has also done a Swades, Chak De, FAN or Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa.

If it is true that srk rejected ek tha tiger movie, then I am glad salman did it.
I really like ek tha tiger movie and salman did a brilliant job in that movie.

salman rejected chak de movie and srk got it.

As for money, he is unapologetic about the fact that he dances at weddings or the fact that he does plenty of endorsements. But he's darn clear about the fact he does movies because he loves acting. I find it darn hilarious when people question why he has done commercial potboilers. Um..because he wants to. Or is that right exclusive to only his peers...lol!

And you're absolutely entitled to your opinion. I ain't a fan of the OTT masala movies myself but I enjoyed HNY. And this is coming from someone who still hasn't watched CE. Although there are plenty out there who enjoyed CE. So you're entitled to dislike or like whatever you want. That's anyways subjective. I reacted here for a different reason altogether. When you're discrediting his success or saying that he doesn't have artistic quality then I'll disagree with that. As for the comparison you tried to draw there, I'm not sure how they're comparable. BB was indeed a commercial movie but the script, the characters are darn different from something like a CE. Even Kabir as a director is darn different from RS. Just because both were commercial movies doesn't mean they were treated with the same approach by their directors. A Bodyguard or a Kick can't be compared to a BB either even though the genre is same. A BB falls in the same category as perhaps a Chak De although the latter was far less commercial in its content. A BB is basically a movie that was content driven and happened to be entertaining just like a Chak De and PK. A CE or HNY are OTT masala movies just like a MHN or a OSO. Some liked all of those, some didn't and that's absolutely fine.

^I don't really care about success ratios and number of hits and all that stuff. I don't think it matters much after a point. SRK is a big star and has already made his name. I guess you're referring to the Salman fanatics who do pointless number comparisons constantly but I'm not one of them. I don't care for Salman either so again that doesn't matter to me.

I'll absolutely disagree there. I'm guessing you're referring to Ra.One there since Akon sang in it. Now you might not care for it along with quite a few out there but this notion that it came from a cynical place is something I couldn't disagree more with. It's a movie that he still talks about with just as much passion even though he was bashed left, right and center for it. It's a movie that he has stated he wanted to make for his kids. It's a movie that was in pre production for quite a while before it went on to the floor which should tell one as to much work went into it. The end product might not be something you care about but to question his sincerity there is I guess where we'll agree to disagree. Same goes for Dilwale. The storyline was one where there was a age gap between the siblings. And why would he not want Kajol in that considering how legendary that pairing is. Infact their pairing was one of the best things about the movie.

^ I don't understand why you are throwing around numbers at us Pallavi. Who cares what SRK's success count is? How much money Dilwale or Fan or HNY or CE made? Like anonymous said they don't even matter after a point..and it is only the Sallu fans who care for them anyways.

He wanted to do an out and out commercial movie at the time and there's nothing wrong in that..lol. One has seen sometimes the most commercial movies or masala movies not working at the BO too so there's no guarantee either ways man when it comes to the outcome of a movie. Infact Rohit came to him wanting to do a remake of Angoor and Shahrukh was cool with that but then Rohit suggested CE as he had that idea in mind and they ended up working on that. Like he stated in the interview with Komal Nahta that he wanted to get that monkey off his back so you're absolutely right there that he did want to prove to people who have written him off I don't know how many times before as well. That's just called being driven and motivated man.

I don't think Nawaz was on board initially. I think he came after Farhan decided he didn't want to do the role as he was doing Wazir where he was playing a cop as well. I don't know about the delays in Raees but I have never got the sense from Shahrukh or anyone in team Raees ad if it was his last priority. Like EMP said I think he was offered a few films by Excel and he chose Raees.

But you're assuming that on the basis that Excel would have been cool with shifting BBD to another date. Why would they shift that just because they decided to shift Raees to Jan. That's not a great strategy in my humble opinion because you then are projecting that you can shift one movie to accommodate another one from your PH. It shows lack of respect then on their part for the team of BBD. As for Dear Zindagi, yes it's a small film but like I said maybe they think that's a more apt time to release it as compared to Raees. If I'm not wrong Dear Zindagi is apparently clashing too with Kahaani 2. A week after it Befikre is hitting the theaters. And before that you have Ajay's movie as well as ADHM coming out.

As for bad blood, it depends on how things are handled.

It ain't his fault if the rest of the industry or at least most of it have started booking dates before one even knows the whole cast. He think it's better to book a date after you have shot some portion of the movie. It's not that he's being a rebel for the heck of it. It's just about not believing in that practice of booking a release date before the full cast is even on board as is usually happening these days. And sometimes even booking in advance doesn't mean you can avoid a clash. Well, there were even rumors that portions of Raees would be reshot. I don't think there were any reshoots. How can he dictate something like that to team Kaabil man when it's not a decision that's in his control. He can request them to not clash but that's the extent of it and even there all he can do is request as the decision then lies with Team Kaabil.

SRK can do potboilers if he wants. Nobody is saying he has to do art movies all the time. But there has to be some sort of quality control even in masala movies. In his older days, he had that most of the time. For the last few years, I don't know what's going on.

I think the problem is that he makes his movies very very cynically based on what trend is currently working, what type of thing to cash it on, throw in some guest appearances and pull some stupid stunts like hiring a HW singer, etc. He wanted to big movie so he paired up with Kajol to try to use that old magic again. Jump on Rohit Shetty train because his dumb movies are working elsewhere, etc. And then wrap it all up in tons of stupid promotion. He actually went a big concert tour just to promote Chennai Express.

Something about it just rubs me the wrong way. It's like he pays no attention to the actual story or script and wastes all his time and money on the packaging and extras to make a quick buck and run like the wind.
