By now we all know that Rangoon is a disaster at the box office. It isn't the first shahid starrer that is disaster.. It looks like he still doesn't have a 100 cr movie at the box office..

The list of flop movies keep growing year after year..

Soon he will catch up to AB Jr if he goes on with the same speed.


the question is why actors like shahid fail? He is an ok actor, decent dancer... good looking and the perfect hero for a typical Indian movie.

I have a theory on this.. I think that is the reason actors like Arjun Rampal, John Abrahim, Imran Khan, Dino Morea and Aftab failed too.

These actors are all good looking guys... chick magnates who possibly got more work than they deserve because of their looks.

Could it be that the male audiences turn on these actors and they don't watch their movies?

I am predicting that Sid Mal and fawad khan are heading that way too..

Kuch bhi.

He is not THAT good looking that men would turn on him. He is not even average looking. Its all about the personality and he has a HIGHLY unlikable personality. He comes across as an arrogant prick.

Plus he is Panauti. I cant understand why people are giving chance after chance to this boxoffice poison.

Shahid is a good actor, I read somewhere that he hired a
script_adviser, at least he knows his choices are bad.

In all these years,this is the first time I see,trade and members talk/ worry about shahid 's career.
Threads opened and harsh comments.

Kya baat hai,why are people getting so emotional,after all these years of ignoring him?

You think any actress would refuse to work with him today..I am asking the fans of the actresses.

a heroines career is over,when heroes ignore them..same is true for heroes.

Shahid in my opinion will have many projects greenlit with heroines interested in them

How would you explain the stupendous stardom that Dharmendra & Salman Khan achieved then?

dharmendra did action movies when his rivals did romantic movies.. he evolved and possibly was the father of action movies.. he milked that gimmick till late 2000s...

Salman was helped tremendously by his personal problem... his issue with ash... legal issues... health issues..people resenate with that..

Shahid is such a mystery! He looks like such a good, sweet boy, but his personality from what we hear is at complete odds with his physical appearance. Rude, arrogant, proud, controlling.
Same with his movies. He's a great actor and gets critical acclaim for almost all his roles. Still all his movies flop. Very strange.
The guy is quite a puzzle. Its probably my education getting into this but as someone who is very interested in psychology, I would love some insight into him!

TL;DR - Don't know the answer to this question, but am very interested in reading other people's thoughts.
