BOI: why SRK's run is not as big as Salman or Rajesh khanna (N:Pg 54)

Q. What is the final gross of R... Rajkumar?

Ans. A little over 64 crore nett.

R. Taheel

Q. You have said Gunday will do 100 crore but how can that happen when and action film like Jai Ho with Salman Khan only does 100 crore?

Ans. All was said was that the opening will give it a chance of 100 crore whether it does or not depends on a lot of other factors..

K. Deshmukh

Q. Is not the Shahrukh Khan run of the last few years the best of all time?

Ans. Its a good run but does not compare with the run of Salman Khan over last three years and not even close to Rajesh Khanna as there are not many blockbusters. the magnitude of the films is much smaller.

M. Aslam

DUH...of course the last 3 years run of Salman is better...even a blind man would know that...compare karna hai to poora career compare karo...what is this 3 years ka run... 😆

ye lo

The run by Rajesh Khanna was phenomenal and the Salman Khan run is also extraordinary because its unlikely that five hits like this will be given by anybody in a span of 30 months again. It could happen again but not in a short 30 month span. It can also be said that it is easier for big stars to give big hits today as it has a lot to do with initial while 40 years back a film had to run 25 weeks in around 8-10 centres to be a big hit so the initial factor was less but then today there is competition from other forms of entertainment which probably equals things out.

and Misleading Title...BOI is talking about JUST 3 YEARS...not the entire 20+ years...

The second best run ever by a male lead in terms of consecutive major
hits in the history of Hindi came to an end with Jai Ho. Prior to Jai
Ho Salman Khan had five back to back blockbusters in a run lasting
around 30 months.

This run is only bettered by a run by Rajesh Khanna which lasted 15
months from October 69 till February 71 which consisted of 9
consecutive major hits including six blockbuster/super hit films There
have been other runs where male leads have given 5-6 consecutive hits
but these two runs stand out in magnitude.

The run by Rajesh Khanna was phenomenal and the Salman Khan run is
also extraordinary because its unlikely that five hits like this will
be given by anybody in a span of 30 months again. It could happen again
but not in a short 30 month span. It can also be said that it is
easier for big stars to give big hits today as it has a lot to do with
initial while 40 years back a film had to run 25 weeks in around 8-10
centres to be a big hit so the initial factor was less but then today
there is competition from other forms of entertainment which probably
equals things out.

Again this is a comparison of a brief period of salman and Rajesh K...where is the entire career?? Ya fir sirf HITS dekhni hain?? 😆
