Shahrukh Khan rejected multiple Aamir Khan movies - Page 14

Salman was massive in the 90's as far as I remember. I have always seen him as a superstar. It's not possible for an actor to have the comeback that Salman did with wanted without an already existing fanbase and popularity among the Public. Amir on the other hand became huge in 2000's.

Amir single-handedly ruined Dhoom franchise. I haven't enjoyed his movies since 3 idiots.I liked him the best during his RDB days. LSC being a remake is also so disappointing.

Why do you think Aamir ruined Dhoom franchise? I believe he was much better than Hrithik Roshan and John Abraham. He was much more authentic.

Dhoom 3 robberies were much more meticulously planned by Aamir. They were pretty classy robberies in Chicago. Wow. The Dhoom 1 and 2 robberies were tacky and shoddy. Hrithik and John failed to execute them properly.

Cope now.

@bold : True. Aamir doesn't have the fan following of Salman,Akshay and SRK.

SRK was terrible in flop Ramjaane.

Govinda actually stood at #4 after Khans and Sunny Deol in 90s. David Dhawan comedies saved him.

He excelled at dance and slapstick comedy. But became irrelevant soon due to bad choice of films and doing same slapstick comedy again and again.

BTW, his only success after 1999 is Partner in 2007, which became a hit thanks to Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif who had earlier given hit film Maine Pyar Kyu Kiya in 2005.

bhagam bhag was hit b4 partner which was super hit

Ram Jaane was a hit.

"Ram Jaane opened on Thursday, 30 November 1995, across 175 screens, along with Akele Hum Akele Tum, starring Aamir Khan.

"This is the only time when the films of Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan clashed at the box office. Ram Jaane was ahead from day one and remained there through the run, earning a "Hit" verdict by Box Office India, while Akele Hum Akele Tum was declared a "Flop".

He rejected DCH also. Glad he rejected those films. He was a misfit for these films anyway. SRK only plays safe. He never had it in him to do a Lagaan, DCH, RDB, 3 Idiots.

I am also glad he rejected Munnabhai MBBS. He could never have done what Sanju did in Munnabhai series.

It was his loss that he remained confined to same old rom coms by YRF, Dharma and Farah Khan.

He is a limited ham actor only good for romantic roles and now flopping since he is too old and jaded for those same old lover boy roles. He never had it in him to play Bhuvan, Rancho, Akash, DJ, Munnabhai etc.

He did a great job in Swades (literally made by the Lagaan director and a better movie) and Chak de India and also My Name is Khan. His performance in Fan was also good (even though the movie was lacking).

Its pathetic how Aamir Khan fans act like he is some sort of versatile actor lol, his performances are always the same (Watch his forrest gump act like his character in PK). He has much better script sense than SRK and that's about it.

LOL! Dhoom 3 is a legit hit. No way did Ra One succeed same way as Dhoom 3.

Anyway Aamir made it without big banners, without relying on any jodi and despite avoiding media and awards most of his life. Unlike others who went to extra lengths to please media, did excessive PR and still do, are chamchas of big banners and attend every award show on TV or dance at weddings and endorse paan masala to be in limelight at any cost.

Aamir may not have so called hype like SRK or Salman but has more trust among audiences and real life impact on society. His films are still studied for not just marketing but also socio cultural impact.

No wonder he is visiting faculty at IIM A whereas others are...ahem.

Despite less hype Aamir has broken every damn record and it is he who began 100 crore, 200 crore, 300 crore clubs, proved every detractor wrong and succeeded despite his lack of height and lack of fashion sense or style. Even his ridiculous hair styles like Ghajini cut became famous.

Definitely good achievement for a man who is supposed to be 'not a phenomenon' or lacking 'star power'.

And success of films like Raja Hindustani, Ghajini, Dhoom 3 proves Aamir can succeed even without message based scripts.

FYI his other hits like DCH, QSQT, HHRPK, Fanaa, Ghulam, Ishq, Dil, Rangeela have NO message or social issue theme at all but are still hits. Commendable success for a star who is supposed to have 'no star power and mainly does message films'.

Raja Hindustani, Dil, Ghajini, Dhoom 3 are top grossers of years of their release without having any social message.

Too bad other huge phenomenon like Salman and SRK failed to give hits in message based films and their message films like Phir Milenge and Swades are NOT even average grossers NOR got good openings.

Good luck. We will see when and if or how SRK manages to 'regain' his phenomenon status which is hardly seen much post 2008. Bas ek badi hit ki talaash hai...hehe while so called small star like Aamir was breaking records with Dangal, Dhoom 3, PK and even a crap film like Thugs of Hindustan did manage to get a good opening. Let us hope 55 plus phenomenon can manage to regain part of his 90s or 2007 glories and does not have to blame govt or particular ruling party for failures of his films.

Dhoom 3 literally killed the franchise. You bash SRK's movies and then act like Dhoom 3 is somehow good because it was popular. Its by far the worst Dhoom movie and if SRK or Salman made it you would be crying about how bad it is. Aamir's performance was a joke too. The only reason it didn't flop like Thugs is because of the franchise name

he was good in the 90s but terrible in the 2000s. Most of his movies flopped in that decade (apart from stuff like Partner and Wanted). SRK and Aamir were far ahead of him

Salman Khan only became a real superstar with Dabaang honestly but then he ruled the box office for a decade basically
