His craze is confined only to the girls and ladies Reminds me of patrick dempsey Mcdreamy the hearthrob of many many women but could not make the crossover into Hollywood and had to play either support roles or paired opposite to female actors in chick flicks where the story revolved around the girl like Enchanted He did a role in transformers

again all smaller lesser roles
so there is something about men who are hearthrobs and lack of appeal among the male audience
especially in a male dominated society such as the Asian subcontinent where brawn rules


One Name.

Robert Pattinson.

He played Edward Cullen, the character who from girls of 12 to middle aged women of 45 had an odd appeal towards. He became a sensation.

But only among the ladies.

One would say he 'made' it as well.

A Very similar case I think with Sobti. Almost exactly.

So he might 'make' it.

But as you mentioned Patrik. The man is sexy beyond all measure. And he's a good actor too. But he never made it.

It could go either way really.

I don't know if he'd make it big or not, and honestly I don't think I'd give so much thought to it. Bollywood is slowly changing (although I'm not quite sure if it's for the better). But where the only new people entering Bollywood are the sons/daughters/cousins of already established actors/directors/producers, credit has to be given to normal people who get noticed and make it there. So for that, I salute Sobti for getting recognized.

Having said that, I'm big fan of his acting, rather how he acted in IPKKND (not really for his other shows) and I'm eagerly waiting for his movies to release. And I do not know if he had received other offers, but he has chosen wisely...or so I believe. And I'm eagerly waiting for his movies, not just to go gaga(because he does make me feel a little giddy, I admit) over him, but to judge him on his acting and his decisions. But at the end of the day, I do feel that he's not just a pretty face.

I wish him all the luck.

Barfi was not a good movie. It was a poor rip off of so many good Hollywood movies. Just because it was a sensitive subject doesn't mean the movie was good. It was also oddly disturbing and inaccurately portrayed in many bits.

If these are considered good movies. No doubt there's a huge probability Sobti can make it.

RC he does not have the macho appeal to men Some women find him sexy and if you look at the regular viewers not many have heard of him yes do get shocked and many dont care either The movie has to be extraordinarily powerful and hardhitting if bofh genders are to be his viewers which the 3 kings have Pattinson was a phenomena only among the chick flick movie goers many of them teens tweens and older women Beyond that he has to prove his talent and that is where we will know how appealing he is to all
Many many viewers in India come from the rural heartland or are semi literate and have no access to internet so yep am pretty much curious
I think it will do alright in the multiplex maybe an initial run but sustaing power of say the 3 kings doubt it

I'm in a really foul mood today, feeling very sadistic. And I've got a lot of time to kill. This is bad news for all phankies and bashers alike 😛

Well one thing about baiting with the link in the dori itself is that we get to see our silent stalkers as they mysteriously turn up here. 😆
