20 years of Hrithik, Bebo and Abhishek - Page 2

I enjoyed bluffmaster and bunty aur bubli with Abhishek.

Kareena - don't like her as an actress. But the first half of JWM was probably the one I liked her in the most.

HR: War, Dhoom 2, Agneepath, jodha Akbar, ZNMD, etc. I hated his earlier movies.

Kareena Kapoor and Hritik Roshan were simply cringe in this movie . Probably the worst movie of Subhash Ghai .

oh you didn't quote so 😆

Actually Abhishek had most sane character in the movie

Hr and Kareena were so ott like kids on sugar rush 😆

And Kareena's mom character was so dramatic 😕 and regressive

This Exactly and Abhishek's acting was subdued and on point.

Abhishek is good actor tbh ...

He has great comic timing than hr and kareena IMO... They both just give OTT expressions in name of comedy

Abhishek had that good boy looks , passionate chemistry in early days ....

His eyes are so expressive ❤️

Excessive comparison with big b lead to his downfall I guess

His choices were good if not great

But he didn't went on a rampage signing one after another movie .. esp after recurring flops... He doesn't need to ...

Rn he seems to be in happy space enjoying family time, his football and other fav hobbies , doing movies for sake of his passion for acting.

I like him but sadly his talent wasn't explored properly.

I think 2000 was the year when a lot of star kids or insiders had debuted, like even Uday Chopra and Fardeen Khan had made their debuts. I don't remember whether Tushar Kapoor and esha deol debuted in 2000 but I guess they also started their careers when Hrithik-kareena-Abhi did.

Kareena surpassed her expectations.

HR has under performed and Abhishek has surprisingly lasted so long.

Only Bebo is relevant today

Bebo and Duggu are both relevant. Hrithik just gave the biggest hit of the year 2019 in War, so he's very much relevant.

Abhishek:

When he debuted, Abhishek seemed to have everything. Height, looks, surname. But he was not meant for commercial movies. Most movies people liked him were not commercial ones. (Yuva, Paa, Guru). But he tried to find a career in commercial ones. Sanjeev Kumar might have been a great actor. But he could not have done 80’s Amitabh’s commercial movies.

Nightingale may not win against peacock in a beauty contest. That does not imply, it is useless.

Abhishek should have tried the route of Sanjeev Kumar (most successful costar of his mother) than his father. I felt Aandhi and Guru had the same vibe. An young actor playing old character and coming out very realistic.
I still think, Abhishek might shine in character roles, where there is no burden on him to bring audience. (He could have been a good Ratan Singh or Langda Tyagi. But for that, he has to cut his arrogance and accept someone else is the lead).

Hrithik:

Probably destiny had written, it was not Amitabh’s son who will carry his legacy, instead Hrithik. Commercial or artsy genre, his popularity is not diminished. He was the right person to do Agnipath.

Of course, he has a long way to go to reach the megastar status of Amirabh. Even Khans have not reached there yet. But he has time to prove. It is only half a journey. But he must do more films. Amitabh even in his late 70’s puts so much effort in his movies (TOH) and is always hardworking.

Kareena:

Never liked her in the beginning, due to her Diva like attitude. (Both, Kareena and Abhisheks were flops in the beginning. At least, Abhishek seemed humble. But she behaved, as if she was a Sridevi).

Also the media coverage she used to get over my favourites (Vidya Balan and Amrita Rao), who had given more hits than her (in those years) used to irritate me.

But from an year, my resistance to her has decreased. (May be she has not made any annoying comment).

I realise, she has bloomed very lately. Most female leads give hits in their early twenties. By mid or late thirties, they start fading. But Kareena gave mainly flops (one hit out of five flops) in her twenties.

Her success without major stars were JWM & Hungama. Even starring with a major star did not guarantee her a success (like Ashoka, MPDH).

Her hit phase started when she almost hit 30. (3Idiots, Bhajrangi) We can call them flowerpot roles. But post mid thirties, she is actually getting substantial roles also (starting from Heroine/Ki&Ka) and she is making them hit. Her last 5 years are her commercial best out of her 20 years. This is a very unusual track for a heroine.
