One pairing that I like a lot, very weirdly, is Aloo-RS. Looking forward to their Gully Boy! I don't like RK-Aloo together. They look weird. They've been paired in Dragon so hoping it works for RK otherwise if Dutt doesn't do well, God knows what will happen to him!
Films haven't been doing well. But pairing have, right? Like I wouldn't agree with most of the tropes in Bollywood but the general audience does. Like the recent Varun-Alia films, their pairing is bawse but wasn't the film in news for the whole 'Alia in a trunk' and some kidnap scene? I don't know, I'm not much of a Bollywood buff but the little understanding I have is that if the leads are good and do some sort of justice to the film, it carries on. I don't really think Bollywood is known for its strong stories 99% of the time. Like I'm a Marvel/DC buff and a bit of other Fandom here and there and my viewing companions differ. The HW gang mostly prefers solid scripts, good acting, and a 'solid' movie while for the BW crowd the more no brainer it is, the better it is with the exception of amazing movies like Mom, Pink and similar. I might be out of line here, I do apologize if I am.
I LOVE RANVEER AND ALOO. I love their series of Coke ads and other ad films. I would love, love, love to watch their films. I don't know, I feel they balance each other out in a really beautiful way. It's amazing. I haven't seen such chemistry in ages! Sorry to ask, but can you please tell me what Gully Boy is about? I'm too excited to research it on my own. Eeehkkk. Man, I hope this film is a hit and we have loads of the pairing.
The less I say about RK the better. As I said earlier, my opinions might not be correct or politically correct even but I haven't seen RK give a single hit in years, a clean hit. If I'm not wrong his last hit was in 2013 with YJHD and I don't even know what ADHM tbh. Does he has any brand value other than the Kapoor Khandaan ka chirag (words I get from Hindi television 😆) and his personal life is a mess. And I'm not a Ranveer Kapoor or Varun Dhawan fan but if you have to compare, they have so much more to offer and are still not getting half of what Ranbir is. It would pain my heard to see him go the ABJr way. He's very talented but idk what's going wrong with him tbh.
