I think Salman needs to stop playing the good simpleton again and again onscreen . Whether its PRDP, Jai Ho or tubelight its just not him . Bajrangi was different cos it had an awesome writer and Sultan was a flawed character .

Want Dabangg, ett, kick, wanted type of roles. Those the movies which gets huge cheers.

Ghajini brought back the masala genre followed by Wanted

I don't think so. Ghajini was a lot darker than usual masala flicks. For me, it felt like action thriller, but well, you may be right.

As for Wanted, it was barely a hit but for Salman, it was the movie that nearly saved a dying star. It didn't work at the plexes at all, unlike Dabbang that rocked all of India.

Don't class Jai Ho/Tubelight in the same breath as PRDP. Prem Ratan broke all opening records, so if that movie was anything like MPK or even PKTDK, it'd have easily been an ATBB.

In Jai Ho, Salman was an angry young man. That movie was masala. As for Tubelight, I don't think- not to have a love interest or to beat up other people alone would make a movie commercial or masala. It's the narrative structure that determines a commercial movie and separates it from a casual flick. Tubelight had the same massy commercial structure of storytelling. Don't let Kabir's pseudo-intellectual talks delude you.

Bollywood doesn't experiment a lot, so we don't have a mainstream experimental cinema with big stars. It's usually with the smaller actors. In the case of Tubelight, romance was replaced by bromance. If the tables had flipped, and Salman's role was performed by someone like Swara Bhaskar and Sohail's role, by Salman, with more emphasis on an elder brother's journey and adventures during the war, and Swara's emotional story and trials back at home - trust me, Tubelight would have been an ATBB.

Sucks tho.

Salman is desperate to be seen as the good, simple guy with a heart of gold bringing about world peace or bringing families together..it's all part of the larger plan to erase the court cases, woman beating acts, all negative aspects from people's minds. That's why he won't play any negative character either.

After TZH should something totally on the other side of the spectrum

i get ur point, but he doesn't seem the calculative type to think of these things.

Well repeating director aint a problem if the script/story-telling is good. Like one can always trust Hirani or in old days Gulzar or Mukherjee on story-telling as a matter of fact and it will never go waste.


But sometimes his 'helping' family and friends go OTT and he just cannot say no He should focus more on the script than the source from where the request is coming.

Two reasons
