we’ll thugs of Hindustanti had the ingredients n released on festival but it tanked too!! That was one of aamirs worst movies to date. Masla doesn’t suit him. LSC was slow paced plus it was clashing with akshsay kumars movie which too tanked as it didn’t have the right ingredients. Recently ranveer singhs movie tanked despite being rohit shetty movie and released on Xmas !! Pathan had the right cast and Salmans extended appearance added to the hype as well and it’s a spy universe movie. Tiger War also were spy universe movies !! It’s just like dhoom seriesOriginally posted by: atominis
Aamir is treated worse than SRK and before him too. I mean BJP banned his films in Gujarat once he supported NBA, donated for victims of Gujarat pogrom, called Modi a mass murderer.
SRK is more discreet compared to Aamir and never messed openly with RW no matter what he felt. He was clever enough to keep silent this time and he never spoke stupid shit like 'wife wanted to leave India' like Aamir blabbered during intolerance controversy.
SRK is never as poorly spoken and reckless in political controversies as Aamir.
Thanks to his education and more exposure to real life compared to 12th dropout, film industry boy, Aamir who has grown up in a privileged bubble.
LSC would have surely flopped anyway due to no hype, no promotion, slow and choppy screenplay, no festive release, no masala. But it did get in trouble due to past interviews and tweets of Aamir, Bebo and Atul Kulkarni. Atul is also anti RW, supported NBA, CAA protests and once said he was not a Hindu but an atheist. His old tweets were used as well to incite boycott.
Aamir offering apologies, clarifications or begging others to see film only backfired. SRK's and Deepika's silence anf remaining away from any interviews or media worked a lot in favour of Pathaan. The Pathaan team used more sense compared to Team LSC. Aamir and Kareena's pleading to see the film or offering apologies, made boycott gang feel empowered. Aamir also had extra negativity against him post his second divorce and was used as poster boy of serial love jihad and SM was full of propaganda that he is looking for third non Muslim woman to use. SRK has no such additional negativity on his personal life, except the Aryan drug fake case.
SRK has comparatively less ground to attack him compared to Aamir who is a walking talking bait for RW. Aamir himself took too much panga with RW, in past, that SRK has usually avoided. Content and festive release of Dangal, PK, D3, 3I, Fanaa saved him. LSC had no such factor in its favour.
