I've seen a lot of people on IF (including myself lol) say that Karan has been trying to copy SLB recently with his film choices and how he's presenting his actors in those films, yes I'm talking about Kalank. 😆

Do you think this is actually true or are we blindly judging him? We haven't seen these films yet. Kalank was conceptualized 15 years ago. Yes, the character looks maybe copied from Ram Leela but we don't know yet where the movie is based (maybe it's in Rajasthan or Gujarat). I also think Alia's poster look isn't copied from anywhere. It's quite a common bridal sort of look 😛

Coming to Takht, he's saying that he was inspired to make it after Bahubali's success. He also later said that period dramas are the IT thing right now and he's always the first one to jump onto the bandwagon. I thought this was kinda stupid


SLB didn't make those historical dramas because he was following the industry norm or what was the "it" thing was at the time. He made them because he was very passionate about the subjects on which those movies were made. For e.g. he had been planning to make Bajirao Mastani for more than a decade. He was also very passionate about Padmaavat's subject matter.

So is Karan really trying to copy SLB or are we judging him too fast? Btw I'm talking about SLB here because he's the only one who's made really successful historical dramas. Gowariker just made one long ago (I won't count Mohenjodaro lol). So the comparison will obviously be with SLB.

well SLB has been trying his time memorial trying to emulate Mughal-E-Azam alas with no success.
He has been able to capture the glamour but never got the content right.

Karan is definitely doing period dramas coz they are reaping profits. Sanjay has spoken at large about how historicals were extensive part of his growing up and mughal-e-azam is not just a movie but a connect point to his dad. Watching that movie again n again was his memory with his dad and is extremely special to him. His passion for his movies can be seen in his music. A layman who has never had any formal training in music comes up with gems like laal ishq, thode badmaash or even ek dil ek jaan is no mean feat. It can only be achieved when there is insane passion involved in it. Karan is emotionally bankrupt and shallow. One thing he really excels in is business. His father was not a very successful producer and made duds after duds hence was not in the ivy league of bollywood like chopras which Karan always aspired to be. So he learnt business with passion to erase all the failure associated with his father's name and hence does exceedingly well in that coz of that drive and passion. He wants respect now as he knows no one really takes him seriously despite his success and money. But sadly he is not a creative person who wants to succeed in creative business.

Well yes alia's look is jodha like but I didn't find sonakshi's look similar to paro's.Overall it is giving more SLB vibe than bahubali vibe I think.Let's wait for the movie though.(I think it is set in pre partition punjab)

Trying to cash in on period movies. That's why I feel SLB should move away from those for now
