I know that era has great SRK films. But Salman Aamir weren't at their best. Although the films you mentioned did well but they were not huge blockbusters. Although they did good films but there was no title of superstar attached with them. Aamir lagaan and DCH released in 2001 and that was when Priyanshu debut with Tum Bin (2001). Aamir was missing for good four years. He came back with a successful film in 2006 with RDB and Fanaa. By that time Priyanshu career was already over. Salman surely had Tere Naam, Mujse Shaadhi Karo, and other films but he also did some unsuccessful films. Khans were not called superstars like they are called now.

This decade is different because they are known as the only superstars. Only their movies make 200 crs, 300 crs which was not the case before. If they had tere naam, lagaan before then now they have bigger hits and classic films like Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Dabbang, Sultan, ETT, 3 idiots, PK, Dangal. SRK films do not cross 300 crs but still he has blockbusters/superhits like CE, MNIK, etc. The only difference is that this era had better directors and viewers are more opening to accepting different stories/concepts.

However I don't think he flopped due to Khans or any other factor. It was his wrong choices.

@bold but none of them are superstars yet. Its not that easy to become superstar. It took khans many years to achieve this. Yes sure they are doing well for themselves but you never know. It is too early to say anything.

I agree, RK and RS are nothing to look at in pictures or even good looking. I would say the same about early SRK and Aamir. Hell, Rajnikanth. But put them on the screen and you cannot take your eyes off them. Every single person that has a long career has that quality, the ability to dominate the screen, light up the screen as it were. Nothing to do with looks or even talent else Katrina would not be where she is/was.

This guy just does not have the ability to hold your attention. He is boring. IMO of course.

Of course you need to have solid connections. That only does not apply in BW but every other industry like IT, Business. SRK was outsider but he build those connections. Salman never worked with big ph like YRF and Dharma before but he did different type of films and found connectivity with audience.

Priyanshu was not bad but he just couldn't connect with audience due to his film choice and also his lack of connections.

Priyanshu could have been in any era, without proper backing from some PH , his fate would have been similar.
He was much better than Abhishek B and if he got 10% of the chances that Jr got, his story would have been different.

Classic example of how talented people don't make it big due to nepotism! If he was mr bachchan's son he would have had a thriving career and there is no doubt about it!
