Maybe ill call Arsalan 🤣

Arsalan would arrive with his sonu/salman combo songs, I can already see it.

You should be counting on me joining MDNA and see what life's like on the sweeter side for a change, if he ever targets Salman. 😆 Fat chance though.

Everyone knows that SRK's movie choices have been disappointing and that he hasn't had much luck lately but guess what? The fact remains -- Aamir hasn't established the same level of connection with the audience as a public persona despite giving out a string of blockbusters, and that limits his stardom in many ways. Someone with public craze in his place would make 100 times more money, and that's my opinion. Take me for example -- I watch Aamir's movies for the content, not his individual performance.

U must be aware of SRK's promotions right.

You flip channels in every 10 min you had "HNY team ke saath kijiye dant manjan or pijiye Mountain dew (or something)".And who can forget those blitzkrieg promotions of Ra One.His much publicised train journey for Raaes.

If I recall most promoted movie was either Ghajini or 3I post release.Only last decade,Aamir started socialising.

Pre 3 Idiots,He had record,bumper and record opening with MRF films in a year.His crap Mela had bigger opening than SRK's PBDH with Juhi.

DDLJ itself had low opening.

With all the hype post Lagaan,Swades was released which was dampener.

AL Rai after TWMR had Zero with SRK.So it's not like content oriented cinema have never been his way.

What stardom are you going on?

D3 was shit but it was an ATG.It's upto the makers whether they want to continue or not.

His ambitious superhero series ended with RaOne which he ruined.Shuru hone se pehle hi khatam.

People watch SRK's films for timepass entertainment.That's it.Nobody watches his films for his performance.

Likewise if you take into account all these parameters,I can bet a $,₹,€,£ if Aamir had done SRKs films it would have performed way more than him. Or any other mainstream actor in his place would have done better in those blockbusters.

All Aamir doesn't have is a crazy fanbase on social media platforms.

Wow I wrote an essay. 😆

Aamir knows his scripts. SRK doesn't. There's no sugarcoating it.

But SRK is the bigger star. People go to watch his movies. They go to Aamir movies for the story.

The biggest example of comparative stardom is this thread. Had to bring in SRK to have peeps write on Aamir. Or it would have to be about some affair with a starlet.

Seriously....😆

SRK and Aamir are both my favorites.....so not going to compare...they are both equal in acting and stardom for me......having said that.....I have seen people ridicule the star power of Salman and SRK.....I have heard people say.....Salman ka kya hai....he makes trash and people go watch it.....so its nothing.....Bhai aap apne favorite ko bolo ki trash banaye and lets see how many watch it.......or people say SRK's whole career is made of spreading his arms....well ask your favorite to spread his arms and survive for 30 years in this cut throat industry....may be people will drop a chavanni in the spread arms.....or Salman made his career over remakes.....or SRK is because of Yash Raj......so SRK wasn't Yash Raj's damaad that he was investing crores on him...he was investing because he knew that SRK is going to return that investment manifolds.....so easy to down play the stardom......as if gaining the crazy stardom that the Khans have is bachhon ka khel....that being loved by millions is bachhon ka khel...agar bachhon ka khel hai....toh saare bachhe kyon nahi karte what the Khans did??😉

How r u?

Almost nobody watches for Aamir's performance. He's a boring actor and never stands out. Most of his movies have better performances by the other actors.

What Aamir is good at is giving the public exactly what they want to see. He has his finger on the pulse of average people. I don't think he makes great movies but he makes stories that the general public will like. It's an art to know the audience in that way. But the downside of that is that there is something very generic about the movies - for anything to appeal to everyone, it has to have no point of view or nothing strong to say/experience at all. His movies are like vanilla ice-cream. It's okay - everyone will eat it by default because nobody is threatened/bothered by it. But it's still boring and dull. It won't be anyone's favorite like a Rocky Road or Mint Chocolate Chip.

SRK's movies r like toilet papers.You know where they land once u wipe it.
