Akshay Kumar is not stupid

I have read some post and everybody is arguing that akshay kumar should pick better scripts, change his genre, etc etc etc.
The fact is Akshay Kumar knows he is not one of the Khans. In september he will be 47. He has 3 years at best to be a high paid lead. I don't think after that any one will pay him so much. Look at Sanjay Dutt. His lead movies are Policegiri, Chatur Singh 2 star, Department.
Khans usually do 1 film per year. Akshay Kumar did 5 in 2012, 3 in 2013, 2 in 2014 and looks like 4 in 2015.
Like they say make hay while the sun shines.

Akshay fans are just smarter and know which films are meant to be avoided

What can you expect from Salman? He is doing the same one man beating 400 again and again and again.

Aamir khan sold out. With dhoom he hit a new low. I mean the whole bollywood hit a new low. Even the audience.

I am big SRK fan and will agree that Chennai Express is not a film that suits SRK. Yet it was entertaining in parts.

I think Happy New Year will be good, PK should be good because of Raju Hirani. I Don't expect anything from Kick. Holiday will be a washout.

Haider should be the one to look out for.

Im tired on the sterotyping on Salman, yet its ok that srk do mindless masala/movies)happy new year and kick same theme btw both are heist movies ( can say the same regarding HNY Dont expect anything great, but ye both be money makers) and later on like srk salman doing other genre not just action/masala) btw ETT wasnt masala just so you know!!

Of course, he's making 130 cr per year. Don't need to give two hoots about what others say. Wouldn't hurt him if his bank balance increase by 600 cr in next 4-5 years.

People always forget that at the end of the day these stars are here to make MONEY. Everything else is secondary.

Even if all these movies flop Akshay is still getting paid and I think that's all he cares about. Maybe is he isn't doing good work because he's not being offered anything substantial? That doesn't mean that he should sit at home and not work.

Although as an Akshay fan I am disappointed and wish to see him do better work - I get why he has to do these nonsensical movies.

Salman fans think they will say anything and get away with it.

SRK few last movie
Ra.One- A complete different attempt. A scifi movie involving a video game super hero.
Don 2- Action Thriller
Jab tak hain jaan- romantic drama
Chennai Express- Mindless comedy

Now Salman Khan last few
Wanted- Masala
Dabangg- Masala
Ready- Mindless comedy
Bodyguard- Masala
Ek tha tiger- Still its one man beating 400. You say its not Masala so what it is? Jame Bond?
Dabangg 2- Masala
Jai Ho- Well this one was different. It was everything. How didn't it succeed or go to win oscars is beyond me.

Now you will argue that look how much money salman movie made and how ra.one and jab tai hair jaan were semi hit at the best.

If you actually say this, then you are missing my point by a galaxy.

Do you know what is masala? And n ETT is a action romance slick thriller and movie geared towards plex audience more then single screens ( and no he wasnt beating up 400 goons, and it had modern day locales and slick action, etc..) but yes the movie as larger then live theme that you can say an entertainer yes but masala no!! And yes its in bond /boure league most will agree its not like other movies, nor will kick or happy new year be masala category but CE yes was masala, these are heist movies and entertaining thrillers and will be money makers and entertain audiences..ie paisa vashool!!

Regarding the rest you mention im not saying anything just on ETT!!
And you missed my point that SRK too since ra one hasnt been doing nythung oscar worthy, i just did not like how you put one star /movie and prop up another , when both doing pretty much the same, once happy new year over then yes srk movies are going be more substance content per articles,and same with Salmans upcoming movies !! Anyways these stars have their audience and will gear to them!! And im not putting anyone above the other!!

These guys are paid to review the movies. So you are telling me you know more than them?

Anyways, if you read what I said originally, I specifically mentioned that I don't expect anything from Kick. Why? Because I don't like salman and I think his movies are very bad. I am not saying you should agree with me. I am a nobody. Salman is a superstar. But at the end of the day, its my choice whether to watch his movie or not. My ticket along with my girlfriend's or friends won't affect his movie collections at all.

As for happy new year, I like SRK. So I will go and watch it. This is a forum and everybody has a right to voice their opinion.

You said salman has been stereotyped that he can only do masala movies. I showed you his last few blockbusters and every single one of them is a Masala. Okay I will give you a benefit of doubt and say ETT wasn't. Still rest are.

I am not blind and I accept the fact that since Wanted Salman has outperformed SRK. His popularity has grown ten folds. But thats only in India. Worldwide SRK is still in top.

We can't talk about movies after kick without seeing them. I mean we very well can talk about them but can't say that this will happen for sure. After kabir khan's next, salman is doing Suraj's movie and he doesn't direct masala. Then No Entry 2 which will be another comedy. Will audience accept him? Cant say for sure.

Ye you every right to see what you want ( im not asking you to see movies you dont want too, jus like i wouldnt, i just was stating on ETT thats it) and yes you have every right to voice your opinion, and thanks on agreeing ETT isnt, and yes the others are masala genre agree!! Ok enjoy your weekend!!
