Just because one out of the three doesn't market or promote himself extravagantly and unnecessarily doesn't mean that he can bring any less people to the theatres than the rest.

Where it matters, at the box office, Aamir is unbeatable by any Khan, Kapoor or Kumar.

Don was a remake of one of the most popular films of all times.
Don 2 was a franchise.
Dabangg 2 was a franchise.

None of them could become top grossers of all time, could they?😆

They're both Blockbusters!! Dabangg is a bigger Blockbuster on many trade sites.

I don't want to make this about Aamir, but you have to be completely delusional to undermine his popularity.

Is Hirani-Aamir bigger than Sooraj-Salman or KJo-Shahrukh? Yet they couldn't achieve what Aamir did.

Was PK's WOM better than BB? No...yet it fell short.

Franchise, WOM, Directors...all arguments can be refuted very easily. There's nothing that proves Aamir is any less influtential in getting people to theatres than the other two.

Do you have any numbers to support your claim? Its hard to argue against intuitive biases like 'Bonafide Superstar'. As far as I know Aamir gets paid as much as anyone and kicks everyone Arse at the box office.

Aamir has given 4 All TIME GROSSERS out of his last 5 films. It's hilarious to see him being undermined on IF

He doesn't need to do Ghatiya films like other two khans to prove his stardom

And that highest amount of ATGs anyone has had in BW's history. Plus he is far from being done yet.

I think PK's lifetime is safe till X-mas 2016 at least. If Dangal doesn't do more which I doubt; it could potentially carry another year.

Because Aamir is the no 1 superstar of India hence why number 2 and number 3 fans feeling the heat😆

Save it Sameer. That's the most ridiculous thing to come out of you. I doubt people actually look at who's directing the film when they consider going to the movies. Also, do you think a hit boook guarantees a blockbuster? Like who even heard about that book before the movie came out? I surely didn't.

Those films did good because the end product was good. Good films get appreciated in the long-run.

Aamir's comeback?! 😆 The guy never left cinema. Is Dabangg Salman's comeback?

OK!!! 😆


Lets do Salman's ATG's

HAHK - Madhuri, Tuffy the Kutta, Songs!!


That's all we have...unfortunately!! 😆

IF for you.

And the arguments are amazing as well. From pop culture to star power to him doing good movies and what not.

Its funny because post 2000 with Lagaan, DCH, RDB, TZP and 3I (too soon to say for PK but you can count that as well, its a matter of time) he has made the most impact on pop culture. Lasting impact at that which I don't see going away in some years. I mean Rancho and his story will still be relevant and will still inspire many 30-40 years from now. 3I is actually the biggest of BW; from this era in enjoying the biggest global audience and having an impact.

Actually Talaash is the biggest testament to Aamir's massive star-power. Can you recall a dark, out of the box film ever making any money at the Box office? I don't. Films in that genre like AKS usually go down in flames. But don't you worry, Salman is not Ballsy enough to try something like that, ever. Neither can he pull it off.

Btw, what happened to Jai Ho? Clean Hit...all that jazz? Safe film, Bhai didn't have a release the previous year, so people were Bechain. Still...nothing...zilch?

Dabangg was his resurrection, his career was almost buried in the grave before Abhinav Kashyap gave him naya jivandaan. If I was a Lallu fan, which thankfully I'm not, I would worship a picture of Abhinav Kashyap everyday for giving life to Lallu's career.

Aamir doesn't have star power still he has the highest number of ATGs
Aamir is a bore in terms of acting still he is the only actor producer of Indian whose movie got selected in the OSCAR
Aamir gets credit only because of a famous director still the most revered director signs him instead of other SUPERSTARS more than once
Aamir gives BB only on holiday still number 1 superstar in this country can not give BB even on holiday

Any more argument to prove Aamir is nothing?? If yes then Keep telling yourselves. Its the only consolation left

One ATG HAHK in his career, thanks to Madhuri and one of the top selling albums of all time, aur abhi tak usi ko pakad ke baithe hai Sallu fans. 😆

21 years since then Hrithik has given an ATG, Shahrukh has given two ATG's, Aamir has given 4, BC even Sunny Deol has given one par Sallu se nahi ho paya.😆

As for Christmas...didn't Dabangg 2 come on Christmas? Kya Ukhaad like...GHANTAA??

The funny thing is everyone is reponsible for the success of movies Aamir stared in but Aamir. He can't be credited for PK, 3I because he has a Talaash and DG.

However Salman is the star in every damn case. Even when the actress opposite him was paid more clearly indicating the BO capabilities of each.
It doesn't matter that he has Jsi Ho and now PRDP. We only have selective memory limited to BB.


Shahrukh is doing Fan. The promos look good and if it turns out to a good movie; his fans would care less about 200 or 300.

And it shouldn't be expected to do 200. Its not that movie. Why people don't grasp this simple concept is beyond me. It has no holiday, no event movie feel.

Same goes for Salman. Ask him to make a brilliant movie as Dhobi Ghat. I won't care if it does 10 or 20. And most people will do the same because they can grasp a simple concept;

Not every movie will do 200 crores. Each has its own market and BO target. A movie made on 5 crores is done so for a readon and one on 100 for another. Not every movie is made to be a BO juggernaut esp not one that has a limited release on a budget of 7-8 crores.

Lol...its funny when people quote BB for Salman's acting...What acting did he do in the movie??? The only thing he contributed to the movie is his star appeal...the rest was done by that little girl, the reporter and the other supporting cast...All Salman did was trying to look sweet and confused...

Originally posted by: raj80

This is a very weird logic.If Aamir's film is a hit then everything else is credited other than Aamir but for films like Talaash and Dhobi Ghat only he is responsible though they r of different genre...

It's funny Sallu fans r now excusing that PRDP was a diff genre film...This is happening only due to under performance of the film...Before the film's release they were like PRDP will be ATG,biggest hit of the decade...and the reason given was the very same genre...audience like family films and PRDP is one of them 😆...

So for underperformance of Sallu's film everyone is blamed except Sallu 😆...

Yeh, would've, could've, should've, but it didn't, all you've have are excuses, nothing else. You are clutching at straws, Lallu lost in America, PK only had 15 more theatres than BB, completely negligible amount, and yet it's got a higher average earnings per theatre than BB.

UK is the only country where BB did slightly better, a measly $500k more, in Australia and New Zealand, Lallu lost once again, and PK made 127 crores in China, now that's the real test, a completely non-desi audience loving the film, just like they loved 3 Idiots.

As I said, Lallu is a regional hero, nothing more.

Originally posted by: Heisenberg.



So 1 american tweeting about BB = international fanbase, laughable. Lallu is a regional actor with a regional desi fanbase, this can be proven by simply going on his fb page and looking at the names of those posting, pretty much all of them are desi.

About PK in America, PK not only beat BB on opening weekend, but also lifetime gross, it also had a higher per theatre average earning. Aamir once again beats Lallu.

LOL the joke might be on you and BOI. The general public does't really give a shit about BOI. No one can undermine Aamir's stardom or the impact his films have on the audience. Salman nor SRK have the guts or the talent to make even a 3I.



THIS

Originally posted by: -Arsal-


So what happened since then?? Why couldn't Salman diliver again. If he did it in his sixth year; surely he could do it again??


Its like saying a player with 10 centuries is greater than one with 40 just because the latter hit his first 5 years after the first.

4>>>>>1. Doesn't matter if it came after 20 years or 50. Add to that none in BW's history have given as many ATGs.

The only thing it proves is a certain someone used to be ahead once upon a time. Now he is not even close in the ATGs race.

Originally posted by: -RaeesRiks-

SRK and Salman can get you at least a HIT tag with the negative WOM , can Aamir do that ?



read the above and if its still not clear, he can give an ATBB like D3 or blockbuster like ghajini

Originally posted by: Piyatrix

Lol now Aamir needs to do bad movies to prove his stardom. Is it Aamir's fault that the other two khans are poor in selecting scripts. The difference is Aamir takes risks and they come off.



I was about to say this. its hilarious that he needs to do a bad movie to prove his star power. U know it was hirani or franchise and even murgadose 😆

Its not even worth arguing with them.

SRK is still miles better than sallu, at least he can act and gives swades, chak de, once in a while, what does sallu give? dhinka chika? Even BB isn't that great, first half was hell boring and what was that chicken song, any film that has that chicken song shouldn't be called great 😆

I appreciate aamir because at least he doesn't take his audience for granted. He makes films for masses, makes good movies, pushes the envelope a lil bit even if that means risking failing but he does it anyway.

what are the other two doing? still doing the same crap over and over again.

Einstein said 'insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different outcome'

they're giving shit after shit and then they expect to break records or give atbbs, not gonna happen 😆

Bajrangi was loved more by non desis as it did well in the markets the time it came it was considered to be in the oscars and has gone to festivals ..and majority like it more based on polls and even here and that by even diehard aamir phans ..even prdp which overseas is doing well per mojo , lastly I'm proud that bajrangi did what it did on non holidays which is greater then Pk on holidays !!

Between you were missing then, and now return hmmm



You told me to check out boxofficemojo, which I did, I found out that BB lost to PK in America, Australia, and New Zealand, it did marginally better in UK, but a very small difference, so that's 3 for Aamir, and 1 for Lallu, so what exactly are you talking about? Lallu is the loser here.

And here's the difference between SRK, Aamir, and Lallu.










And here is Lallu with his "international" desi fans in Poland, what a joke roflmao
