For me his downfall started after Pad Man. I believe he peaked with that movie. After that he did some good films like Mission Mangal, Good News, Sooyavanchi and OMG 2 but I do think post pandemic his stardom has fallen.

Now in 2024 I believe he has 6 releases, does he want everyone to hate him smiley36or is he milking the last straw of money he think he can make

Ps: this topic is a special dedication to all those who think I only hate on nepos

he just likes making movies it’s his obsession. He’s those type who can’t sit idle n don’t care in the results.

Animal has changed everything

Salhaar

Dunki

Fighter


Akkii is pretty much history now , tiger is nobody Akki used to give good action and even comedies .

Hritik’s war 2 needs to work big which I think might. get. I thoroughly enjoyed war, but fighter was terrible .

Kalki looks like a disaster to me , but watchout for spirit from Vanga with prabhas

I really don’t know what’s going on with bhai . Does he even have any films on hand ?

Pathaan 2 gonna be huge , glad they got rid is Sid . BUT NO VFX SHAH PLEASE 🙏🙏🙏🙏


IF Ramayana done well , there will be no stopping for RK smiley4

Nitesh Tiwari better not screw it up, Dangal was good but not extraordinary, the ending was pretty lame 😞

Lets see how the opening for BMCM goes, smiley36

smiley3 6 movies? How many of these did he sign before the pandemic? Because BMCM was announced before the lockdown too, right?

I discussed this a little in CT’s topic about BMCM. He definitely saturated the market too much with similar themed movies. The Canadian citizenship and all the lies he told about it blew up in his face. Specially when he advocated for one political party over another when he himself couldn’t even vote. People accused him of manipulating Indians’ love of motherland for money. He used to pride himself on finishing a movie in the shortest amount of time until bragging that he shot for Prithviraj in 42 days blew up in his face too and he became a meme. And of course the pandemic and OTT becoming more and more mainstream definitely changed things for a lot of people. It seems more obvious with him because he has so many releases a year. Still, if his comedies work and become hits he’ll be good for another few years. People will chalk up all of his failures to either bad luck or any other PR driven reason. If those fail he’s done with main lead roles. But I think he has a lot of friends in the industry who will keep producing movies for him so like you said Shaitan, he will milk things for money as long as he can and then move towards character or father roles. He might have a good second inning like Big B.

There’s really nothing dramatic about this topic. I’m not sure why certian fans become so over the top and overconfident when their favs get one hit smiley36Given Ranbir’s trajectory his next should be a big puski flop. Dont forget this is the same person who gave us gems like Bombay Velvet, Besharam, and of course Brahmastra smiley37
