You should have just quoted me. Nvm.
I don't rate Farhan. DCH is his only good movie. Lakshya was okay and Don was a missed opportunity. SRK was so good in that movie. I just didn't think Farhan managed to do justice to the original Don or SRK's performance in that movie. It could have been so much bigger than a wanna-be Hollywood movie.
Farhan, for me, doesn't understand the nuances of Indian cinema. He's the kind of producer/director who'd say no to a movie like Bahubali because he has his own vision of cinema. His favorite movie of all-time is Raging Bull and he has grown up idolizing Hollywood. It's the same with these Akhtar siblings. Both do not understand the Indian style of storytelling. That's exactly why Farhan's movies, despite having someone as big as SRK, doesn't have universal appeal.
When Don released in 2006, SRK was #1. It wasn't even arguable. But that movie never clicked with the masses and was a Hit because of its multiplex appeal. With SRK, there are no boundaries. He's a star of the masses, the classes, everyone.
Then, Don 2 happened, which was such a poor movie. SRK should have never done it. I'd rather watch SRK in RaOne than in a pretentious movie like Don 2. Farhan tries to impose a conventional Hollywood narrative into Indian cinema. It's fine if you're making movies for Sundance, Venice, Cannes, etc., but when you're catering to SRK's fans and to Indian audiences, you can't be condescending or pretentious.
That's exactly why I admire someone like Imtiaz because he at least remains true to the Indian style of storytelling. I don't know what will happen with JHMS, but I know Imtiaz can engage us more than Farhan can. The same with Hirani, Kabir, SLB, Dibakar, etc.
