This article/interview is before the release of the film.

It's taken from an interview I posted a couple of days ago, much before the release of the film.

"Playing safe

Where top-wrung A-listers like SRK and Salman have been inclined towards doing commercially viable cinema verging on eternal sameness, Saif points out that not being in the same league as them gives him an advantage. He explains, "I think with the really big stars a sort of Tom Cruise trap comes into play. They're big and therefore need to do certain things to live up to that stature. Also, the audience really does have a choice here. I think most people would actually be disappointed if they had to watch Shah Rukh or Salman in a movie like The Lunchbox. But they'll be able to see me in a movie like that. They already have, in fact. I'll do a Go Goa Gone or an Omkara and it is in my nature to do a Being Cyrus. Even Happy Ending is a good start and the films I'm looking at doing now are all going to be good films, even if they don't make it to the hundred crore club. I want to be part of a film that is a commercial success as well as good cinema.""

I seriously have to wonder if Happy Ending is due to Saif's interfering ways or if it's Raj and DK's own faults. Saying this as someone who hasn't watched any of the three films, AV Bullet Raja, or Happy Endings.
But with Agent Vinod it was clearly something Saif interfered too much in. He initially tried to put the blameSriram Raghavan too, saying stuff like he didn't choose the right director, a sequel would be with another director. He follows up on this thought later, by admitting that he tried to put more commercial elements with both Agent Vinod and Bullet Raja those were not the directors' vision. But the way he came off at first regarding Agent Vinod was very assholish, imo.

Now comes Happy Endings. One can point to GGG with the same directors and Saif, but with GGG Saif was not exactly the lead character, and it was somewhat supposed to be a more niche-type film. So the expectations going in regarding Box office were not as high and so box office was a pleasant surprise.

Saif just wants a hit at any cost .. with Happy Ending he just tried to go back to a genre that has been his forte - rom-com (or should I say romedy) where he plays commitment phobic.
It wasn't a bad film .. like all his others in this genre - it was shot abroad, pretty videshi style stuff, funny at places .. but all through the film, all I could think was how bad and old was saif looking. Even Kareena (who usually looks ravishing on screen) was looking old in that short role she had.
Saif isn't as charming as he used to be, gravity has taken it's toll on him too .. so since that charm is missing, he doesn't looks as cute doing the role that was tailor made for him.
Not to say he was totally bad .. he was alright..ish .. IIeana was good .. story and some scenes were fresh and fun too .. so I don't think the directors did a totally messed up job .. it could have been better though.
Surprisingly, Govinda's scenes were the funniest .. I was laughing out sooo loud, even Ranveer Shorey and Kalki were good


I doubt Saif interfered much in this one .. he probably just thought that he was in the safe zone but guess it doesn't works anymore.
In Agent Vinod, he for sure interfered .. it could have been one good film but he totally tried to make it more dramatic and commercial .. action film lovers found it too dramatic and the dramatic audience must have thought that it wasn't dramatic enough for them .. the film didn't really appeal to any one genre and hence, a disaster.

I just hope Saif isn't interfering in Phantom much ... I have not watched Ek Tha Tiger but Kabir Khan's other films (Kabul Express and New York) were really awesome. So, Phantom might just be the saving grace for Saif.

The biggest problem with you and your begum is, you both trying too hard to compete with biggies, khans and katrina's . You both are only looking and thinking of moolah /box-office success only.

None of your recent movies are art movies. You think your happy ending was some path breaking movie. You did bullet raja and humshakals to prove that you are a solid masala hero for 100cr , just like other 3 khans.

NOT.

Bhai movie works, solely, cos of his charisma, not to forget his huge fan base. You don't have neither. You spent crores to look beautiful in agent vinod, not even that, you interfered with ace director sriram ...see what happened. A big failure. Again, trying too hard

And you need to stop promoting your movies as 'different'. They are NOT different. They are mostly Hollywood wannabe movies, or commercial movies without a super duper HERO, Once I believed that maybe you will be good for kareena, career wise , but man oh man.. you suck more than her..as far as movie choice goes.

You both can act, and act better than many A listers. But it's too late. You both are finished. Now its time to analyse, who destroyed each others career.

He recently had his comeback hit with Sitaare Zameen Par. Shahrukh and Salman are nowhere to be seen. Aamir Khan will also be producing that...
