So do I respect your utter dedication towards my posts. Your sudden appearance out of nowhere as soon as my one critical comment against SRK is highly amusing.

Srk is facing competition from

1. Salman

2. Aamir

3. Young Stars

4. Regional Cinema

JHMS failing will put a big dent on his 3rd spot... if TEPK works, Akki is in Top 3 😆

An inflated sense of self importance? Wonder where from?

For the outsiders, Hindi film industry aka Bollywood used to be known by the name of Shah Rukh Khan. Later, with the resurrection of Aamir and Salman Khan in the last one decade or so, Bollywood has started being called as the 'industry of Khan Trio'. Sadly for SRK and his fans, it may soon be called 'Khan Duo' as his fame and stardom is depreciating from film after film.


Its hard for even movie buffs to tell the last true hit of SRK. Its Chennai Express, which released way back in 2013. In the last four years, SRK had 5 prime releases - Happy New Year, Dilwale, Fan, Raees and the latest, 'Jab Harry Met Sejal'. None of these films could justify his global stardom and ended up as huge disappointments for trade, fans and also the actor himself. Going by the early reviews and word of mouth, SRK's today release 'Jab Harry Met Sejal' may end up as one of his biggest failures.

On the other hand, in the recent few years, Aamir and Salman have emerged as box office rulers. With films like Dangal, PK, 3 Idiots etc. Aamir has become the brand ambassador of content-rich films which also strike gold at box office. Salman has emerged as the darling of buyers and masses as he consistently scored box office hits despite criticism related to content.

Talking about future, Aamir has an interesting magnum opus, 'Thugs of Hindostan' and Salman has a potential action blockbuster 'Tiger Zinda Hai' in pipeline. SRK on the other hand has an experimental film titled 'Dwarf', where he is playing a dwarf.

SRK urgently needs to introspect his strategy and choice of films as his stardom is fading with each new release whereas his competitors, the young crop of actors and Southern magnum opuses are on the rise.

In every profession of the world, people retire only at the age when they can't perform at all . The Khans are performing better than the youngsters so why would they retire?

I agree here. It's baffling when he is hailed as one of the best which he is not. Lol, I remember someone even had put him a higher pedestal than Brando and Alpacino.😆

For most of the career he has only hammed in his movies which is then considered "natural acting". The only movie he actually acted were Darr, Chak De, Swades, Raees.

Rest are flukes. His charm worked and he got lucky.

Also Salman is a really decent actor, at least doesn't over act and less off-putting than SRK on screen.

I wrote that people retire when they can't perform anymore.Tendulkar too retired when he couldn't perform.

Who said Sachin couldn't perform!? And that too at all! Who is to say SRK can perform!? Every movie of his gets thrashed! If bringing the audience to the cinemas is performing then even Sachin can bring people to the stadium!

You are comparing acting with sports! Cricket is not a show business where the money collected from the audience counts. In cricket the performance of the players count. In BW the collection of movies count. The two things that you have compared have no connection at all! The actors will keep on doing movies till they are able to earn from them. The logics you use make me laugh sometimes.
