Wasn't Ameesha trying to make a "comeback" in 2007-2008 in that Saif and Rani movie...TaraRumPum or something like that? She really needs to move on. I'm all for women breaking the mold in BW films, but Ameesha is most certainly not one of them who I have in mind to do this...girl just leave 😆

How does this fit in Sushant's case? He has never done an all out glam role before Raabta . The only other film which dint work for him was DBB which was anything but glam.
Anyways, KJO and Tarun shud focus on the script more than the so called glam factor.

Action movies usually have a wafer-thin script.😆 Heavy reliance on the hero. He needs to look cool, have "swag" and all of that for movies of this genre to work

Poor Ameesha
Her time is past
She may try to do character roles
She could have capitalized on her success in the past

like an out and out action BW commercial movie Bang Bang mounted at a high scale and songs that were quite popular had underperformed as it had no story...whereas Kaabil had an outdated music which couldn't create any buzz for the movie...he should look at every department...If he takes long breaks then he should see to it that the movie is worth the wait...

I think Bang Bang again was not meant for the masses, plus the director is awful, he could not keep the screenplay tight otherwise when you watch the original which is entertaining despite the wafer thin plot, Bang bang becomes monotonous after a point. The movie under performed also because a better movie clashed with it.

About Kaabil I agree, actually making the film with Gupta as the director itself was risky and it would make me wonder what is wrong with Hrithik, i really don't know what is wrong with him. He does not have to prove that he is a good actor, but his movie choices are haphazard now.

I want him to do atleast 5 film before he does another krrish something subtle and light hearted, there has to be a balance. I am glad he has rejected Rambo, don't know whether the Kabir Khan film will happen especially now seeing how Tubelight has fused 😆
