Will anyone be able to beat Hrithik? - Page 6

I know what craze HR had. But to say it can NEVER happen again is an extreme statement.

One thing that set HR apart was that he was an original. That added to his freshness. Unlike most newcomers who try to obviously model themselves after existing stars (say a Khan or HR or Big B or Govinda). His looks, hairstyle, dressing style was his own.

Hrithik is not a bad actor. Few bad performances in early films do not mean he was bad. He has given more hits in 14 years than Aamir Khan did in same time period when he started his career. He is still quite popular among kids and youth.

Irrelevance might be in race for top slot.

I feel he should improve his choices, play more real and believable characters than sticking to stately roles in period films/superhero films.

Just because we are not from that era it does not mean that achievements and facts from past can be rubbished. Both Rishi and Dimple became popular after that among young people. The argument was about beating superstars, giving biggest hit and winning all awards in debut itself and Bobby has it all.

Some years later if a newcomer manages to create sensation with debut then even his fans will claim it's never before in history! And then people of our generation will be defending citing examples of HR phenomenon.

Coming to your second post, who says HR should do an Abhishek?! I believe one should do characters that people can relate to. That is why Bachchan and Khans lasted so long.

I'm talking of films like 3 Idiots, DCH, CDI, Swades.

To me, Hrithik in KNPH is more relatable than in period films or superhero ones.

You may laugh it off but it is a fact that something like Dabangg became famous because people from small towns could relate to Chulbul Pandey.

In past even Dharmendra and Hema Malini did period films or costume dramas but that was never their mainstay. Mostly did aam roles.

As a viewer I can connect to a simple young man more than some king or superhero in situations nobody has seen or heard of in their real lives.

gonna be tough. even tho i am not much of hritik fan, but must say him and his kaho na pyar hain rocked the nation.

ohh please, the hysteria he created with his first film, that cannot be repeated with the box office collections. he is the only actor who is a superstar since his first film.

I think Kaho an pyaar hai was one of the best debut movie only paralleled by MPK! When you look at other actually underachieved mainly due to bad script choices after his debut! Also I don't think there are enough directors who can extract what he is capable of. Somebody with his talent & looks needed better platform & marketing.
