Will take 3 names & their Quality Content films:

1. Irrfan Khan - The Namesake, PST, The Lunchbox(India Business),
2. Rajkumar Rao - Shahid, Citylights
3. Rajpal Yadav - Main meri patni aur woh, Kushti

I am talking about those Solo films they done, but couldn't pull off huge success on their own on Box Office in India, while they all get CRITICAL ACCLAIM a lot. Why aren't they offered big movies, why big banners don't make franchise with them like Dhoom or Hera Pheri or Golmaal keeping them as Lead Actors?

Why aren't they have any Rockshows, huge fanbase, when their solo movies come it vanishes even before notice?

Irrfan do have success in Slumdon Millionaire/Jurrasic World/The Lunchbox(Overseas) but those films aren't based on Him solely. Sole Hero Characters, why can't they be Crowd Pullers with Huge Housefull boards across cinema in India?

They are not good looking, no charm, no style, no screen presence, and most importantly no connection with the audience. You just cant survive only on your acting. There is much more that is important to be a superstar.

Cinema is only Content/Quality films where you can act, which they do, what else Audience need from them, they are doing exactly what Film Making is?

actors don't pull crowds, it's the stars who are good enough actors. To be a star (crowd puller), you need connect to the masses which they don't possess

Call the audience shallow but you have to have good looks and if you are not the typical looking than charm goes a long way.
Audience need to connect with the actor and feel like they are part of his journey

Lots of things-presence,grooming,PR,ambition, etc.
Nobody became a crowd puller overnight. It took the Khan decades to get where they are at.

U need to be an superstar to pull crowds like Khans. Their movies get hit on their names only and their don't have any phanbase to make their filams hit on BO. For making movies hit on BO u needs starpower which their all lacks.

I don't know .

In Hollywood we have someone like Robert Downey JR whos a big crowd puller and a Daniel Day Lewis who is a great actor . There's space for both of them

In Bollywood sadly sometimes the actors put down the crowd pullers even though without the Crowd Pullers alot of the actors film would not even get financing 😆😆

Well as a viewer of cinema, I dont think that way. I just dont want a star with amazing acting but also with amazing screen presence, style, charm, looks, dance, and entertainment factor.

I would rather watch a YJHD than watching a lunchbox. I dont go to theaters to watch those intelligent movies. I go to theaters to watch movies that can provide me some entertainment.

Just like I would prefer watching a TWMR over lets say Citylights. Both had strong content but TWMR provided a really good entertainment.
