This Kunal Guha is obviously a misogynist, he picked out mostly heroine oriented movies for bashing, like Jazbaa (Ash's comeback movie), HAK (Vidya's return after marriage), Katti Batti (Kangana's flop after TWMR and Queen) and Dilwale, which is Kajol's return movie.

This proves once more why DW is slow earning in India while its the fastest blockbuster worldwide as there are many ageist misogynists like this Kunal Guha. Someone tell this idiot critic that many SRK Kajol fans loved it and thats why its made 273 crores worldwide and 125 crores in India in 10 days!

The latest collections of DW prove this guy is a LIAR! 😆

How come he missed Bombay Velvet (worst disaster of BW and worst movie) and PRDP (most headache inducing movie according to most viewers)? 😲

No, its not. Its not even a blockbuster yet WORLDWIDE, never mind the fastest bit.

I don't quite agree with this misogynist accusation

First of all, I don't think a 'comeback' warrants a film to suddenly turn into a feminist film.

People who have seen Dilwale, was there anything feminist about the story, per se?

Also, if a film is considered to be bad, then that's it. It's the reviewer's opinion after all-- Jazbaa WAS panned, and he terms it as a fall in great expectations because it did have some hype surrounding it. You can't just expect people to love your film because you've been away from the camera for awhile -- the movie actually has to be good.

Katti Batti also won't really be termed as a feminist role, just because a girl has a substantial role in it. Again, nothing quite feminist about the story of Katti Batti --> in fact, the story was panned by one and many, including non-snotty critics who just went to the cinemas to have a good time.

srk has not given good movies in this DECADE? are u sure? maybe u wud want to change it to last 5 years..
ya he hasnt given a critically acclaimed movie for a long tym but so hasn't sallu except one bajrangi in 2015.. ! atleast srk has experimented with a lot of roles in the last 5-6 years.. mnik, ra one, jthj, don2, ce, hny, dilwale... each movie is different from the other whereas sallu has only given some masala flicks and one good movie bb. whenever a sallu movie comes, ppl expect it to be another masala flick..but u cant deny tht people expect a LOT MORE FROM SRK. people expect him to do a good movie...evn though ce worked wonders people dont want him to do more movies lyk that..ppl want him to do movies lyk cdi, swades etc... whereas thts not the case for salman..who has created an image of a masala entertainer and people will lap up any masala flick tht he does..THAT'S the difference of expectations from sk and srk tht i talked abt...

and talking abt prdp... i really really wanted another hahk from rajshri... but i was utterly utterly disappointed.

Meaning of decade is a period of 10 years. Twenty tens is a decade we are in currently which is from 2010 to 2019. I hope now it's clear for you 😊

So starting from 2010, Srk hasn't given any great movie forget classic! But hopefully this will change with Raees or fan. Now coming to salman khan, he has given his share of bad movies too but he has DABBANG AND BAJRANGI BHAIJAAN as well. The character of Chulbul pandey is iconic. And it requires efforts for masala movies too that is why very few actors have been successful in that and that is why there is no other dabbang.

Expectations makes no sense because they change from a movie to movie. No one in real world is like This movie is not CDI so I am not gonna watch it or I will watch it and make it blockbuster. But this is not what I expect from him. Same applies for salman. Expectation excuse is lame because CDI was way back in 2007.

@bold by people I hope you mean only Srk online fans because CE was a blockbuster and Swades was flop. I don't know why people would make a movie they don't expect from Srk a blockbuster and a movie they expect from Srk flop as per your logic.

The main thing is people expect good or entertaining movies from all actors. They don't have different set of expectations from them. And by people I mean common people not die heart fans

PRDP was never a Disappointment . Firstly it's a CLEAN HIT (Doesn't matter what this Forum says or how much it dislikes the Film or Salman) . Secondly , it was a Family Drama and Families were the Main target for them which was Successfully achieved as Mostly all Indian Families loved the Film .

Doesn't matter what anybody says...It disappointed majority of the viewers...It disappointed ME for sure...What do you mean its never a disappointment? Just because it got a hit tag doesn't mean it is all that...Its the worst movie of this year next only to Dilwale...Both stars taking the audience for granted and making such horrible mind numbing movies...

https://www.bollywoodlife.com/news-gossip/dilwale-box-office-collection-shah-rukh-khan-and-kajols-love-saga-grosses-rs-273-50-crore-worldwide-in-10-days/

Just a few days back Dilwale crossed the Rs 200 crore mark at the worldwide box office and now it has crossed the Rs 250 crore mark too. At the end of Sunday, the film has a gross worldwide collection of Rs 273.50 crore. The film has broken quite a few records at the overseas market however it hasn't been able to break records at the domestic market.

The film opened very well at both, the domestic and International box offices, but it has dipped at the domestic market in the past few days. It has under-performed even over this weekend even though there were holidays and the film collected Rs 123.88 crore nett at the end of the second weekend at the domestic box office. As trade analyst Taran Adarsh revealed, "#Dilwale doesn't witness major spurt in biz, despite holidays. [Week 2] Fri 8.11 cr, Sat 6 cr, Sun 7.12 cr. Total: Rs 123.88 cr. India biz."

However, the film has performed very well at the overseas market as it collected Rs 110.83 crore by Sunday. Talking about the overseas collections, Taran Adarsh mentioned, "#Dilwale is FANTASTIC Overseas. 10-day total [till Sun]: approx $ 16.75 million [Rs 110.83 cr]. UAE+GCC alone contributed $ 6.3 million. WOW!"

The film is expected to have a good run till Januray 8, as no other film is releasing. Though it will face stiff competition from Bajirao Mastani and Star Wars: The Force Awakens, we expect the film to cross the Rs 300 crore mark at the worldwide market in a few days.
