I agree about the difference to approach to a script. And largely speaking, it is the correct way to go ahead also I presume. It probably explains why an Aamir would make a Dhoom or SRK a CE, even so knowing that the script isn't as tight as it should be. It assures a certain 'break' from the typical 'intelligent' cinema, and frankly, however crappy it might seem, I can imagine the amount of fun it must be to shoot such movies. Also, you should definitely watch CE. It's no pathbreaking movie, obviously, but it's hilarious, at least I liked it. A different approach to comedy compared to the crass sexual humour we see nowadays and it was a fun watch!
Art is indeed subjective. I've loved a lot of movies of SRK that haven't necessarily done well, and you mentioned some of them. Swades easily comes into the Top 5, and yet so many people I know, including some close friends who're crazy fans of his, find it boring and dull. It's understandable and actually even acceptable, because entertainment has its own lens, and what plays through each person's may be so varying. My friends like to say I'm pseudo-intellectual when I rave about certain movies and books, but to me, they might have made me laugh, smile, cry. What touches one's heart is different for different people. And then, some people might not go out looking for an emotional connect either. Tired and stressed about life, they might want to go enjoy laughs, dance, songs - no matter what the storyline is. Each to his own, as you said.
Though I'm certainly looking forward to his line-up. Especially the one with Anushka actually. I'm trusting Imtiaz to give us another JWM. 'Cause I know Raaes is going to be good performance-wise anyway and DZ isn't that much of a role supposedly. It's been ages I've been wanting to go to the theatres for 3 SRK movies in a row!
Signing off. This is the shortest I can write so. š It's been a pleasure! š³
