SLB's last hit before Ramleela was Devdas while Ranveer never had a clean hit till that point.

While Deepika was coming off five success movies including two BBs, so I think she deserves biggest credit for Ram Leela.
Baaki she had her role in both CE(her and SRK jodi factor) and YJHD(her and Ranbir thing).

It cannot be mere co-incident that all of the SRK, Ranbir(until Sanju) and Ranveer have their biggest hits in the last decade with her.

SRK's top three hit in last decade have been with her.


And before you bring it, Finding Fanny wouldn't have been a hit even with Sallu as playing Fanny.


I never said that DP doesn't have star power. Of course she has, and she was a top actress at one point of time. But the way she's hyped as the biggest superstar to ever walk on earth is irritating.

You are also conveniently ignoring that after Devdas, SLB didn't make any commercial movie until Ram Leela. Ramleela worked because the movie clicked with the audience so the biggest credit goes to the director .DP can't make a movie Hit on her own, otherwise why Tamasha didn't work? It also had RK-DP pairing, which you are saying contributed to YJHD success.

YJHD success belongs mostly to Ranbir, as he was on a career high after Barfi, and he benefitted most from its success as Besharam also took huge opening.

And are you actually giving credit to DP for OSO success, which was DPs debut movie.😆

The post is saying the opposite of what you are writing 😛

As for movies, what abt Piku? That was a big hit. No other actress in it would have ensured such a response.


Except that I'm not claiming RK to be a Superstar.😆 Piku worked because of WOM. Its opening was only of 5 Crores.😆

In your book Ranbir is ahead of all his contemporaries in stardom so it is necessary that his stardom be broken down too in the same manner like you broke down Deepika's. And your delusion is evident when you credit him for being the driving force behind the success of YJHD and Barfi.

You also very conveniently credit Deepika for success of her SLB Ranveer films when you want to pull down Ranveer and do the reverse in Deepika threads.


I'm not delusional. RK was the driving force of YJHD and Barfi. Your favorite actress was not at the top when YJHD was released. But I never claimed him to be a Superstar like DP fans do.😆

Deepika, Ranveer, SLB, none of them are solely responsible for the success of their films. But they are hyped as if they are the sole reason on this forum.

okay you mean you have issue with her being called the biggest super star, than I agree. She isn't one. Not in the level of Madhuri and she still isn't the jaan of Launde Lapade.

Ram Leela opened big with a 48 crores opening weekend, I don't think we can credit that to a director who was making his comeback after giving duds like Sawaariya and Guzarish.

Tamasha also opened well, but it was such a tatti movie, wouldn't have been hit even if it had peak SRK.

YJHD was obviously more Ranbir driven but the hype due to him and Deepika reuniting after the break up was huge, hence it was his biggest opening at that time.

I am not crediting her for OSO, but just that it came under a trivia regarding SRK. But it is true, SRK's last hits have been with her, and public value them as on screen couple.

Anyways if your issue with with Deepika fans over hyping her in IF, than I cant say much 😆... You guys keep fighting, I read your post as discrediting her for any of her success, hence made a counter.

It shows why she is not there yet. Looks like GB, if becomes a success, wont do anything for her stardom too.
