I quite liked Shahid's last 2 movies..TMK & Mausam..each had some issues with the film but which film doesn't...but just because it flopped..people want to jump and make fun of him & his choices...😛😆

When stupid movies become hit for no rhyme or reason..what then..should the actors be applauded for their script choices then..when there is not even a script to speak of..😆

For the blue part can you give me some examples, so we can talk about it. Also consider the stature of the star. You can't bring salman khan, SRK or any superstar into consideration.

For the blue part...I am talking about movies like Dabangg 2..thats the one I can easily recall...it had no story at all..just clips from the original Dabangg..just ran because of Salman...😆...My point being script is not the only reason for success or failure of a movie..the connect that the audience finds with a movie can be varied as all humans have different tastes...

If a movie fails..one can nitpick & find 101 reasons for why it was so..no one knows exactly..thats why every actor fears Fri..as anything can happen...

But once a Brand image gets created..an actor becomes a superstar..he becomes more or less safe..then every bad thing starts looking good..

Creating of a brand also basically starts with the same thing...make even the bad look good to the public's eyes..its all a big hoax & very interesting..😆

Shahid's worst years have been 2004-2005 & 2011-2012 where all his movies were flops...In both 2011 & 2012..he only did one movie per year...

In all other years, he had at least one success...

Tons of films that became beloved failed in their original theatrical run. Hopefully someone more knowledgable with Hindi films will help me out here 'cause the only Hindi film I can think of is Silsila, but I know Citizen Kane, It's a Wonderful Life, and the Wizard of Oz were flops and the list goes on and on but hopefully you get the point. The audience has to find the film for it to be successful. And having the "right" family and the right connections definitely helps present the actor and the film to the audience. Some of Shahid's flops might have not been if they had had a more influential actor even if the finished product wasn't as good.

Two more thoughts, everyone assumes that the films which Shahid turned down would have done just as well if he had done them which is not necessarily true. Lots of times he is only rumored to have turned them down so it might not even be true they were ever offered. He has said many times in many ways he can only choose from what he is offered. He can always choose to do nothing but that is a risk that hasn't paid off in the past.

Second, I am not going to go into great detail but it really does seem like SK has had dreadful luck in addition to definite lack of support from Bollywood if not worse. For example I firmly believe Kaminey would have been a clean hit if Mexican bird flu had not closed cinemas and delayed the opening. I remember that time and even when cinemas opened people were nervous about catching it and stayed away from crowded places.

If he was done...he would have gone already. 😆 But unfortunately for you, he ain't going no where. He is not done proving himself. 😉
