Salman had a good phase from 2014-17. Kick was a stylish, decent action comedy. Bajrangi is a classic. Sultan was a great sports drama. Prem Ratan had a very good performance by Salman. And TZH is one of the best action movies of last decade. And it wasn't a masala flick either.
Tiger is the last film Salman signed with Reshma as his manager. Since Tiger, Salman has done Race 3, Bharat, and Dabbang 3, and is doing Radhe now. You can see the drop in quality easily. Curiously, Wanted is the first film Salman signed with Reshma as his manager.
Salman has figured it out all wrong. Tubelight didn't work because Salman was a misfit and the movie was boring. The original itself was a chore. Race 3 was never a series that Salman fit in. It's another thing that the movie was atrocious. He turned down Dancing Dad for Race 3. That was a major blunder. Dabbang was doomed from the moment Salman decided to write it. It's fate was sealed when they hired Prabhu Deva.
Radhe has good source material but Prabhu Deva is an incompetent storyteller. He will destroy it.
Inshallah's debacle will hurt Salman the most. He should work with ALR, Farhan, Kabir, etc. instead of doing movies like Race 3 and Dabbang 3. But Salman's never had any script sense. And he won't work in new, unique content because he's stuck in his own ways. He thinks the protests are the reason why D3 didn't work. As long as he doesn't figure that out, he will continue signing crappy films.
He needs to re-hire Reshma again. These brothers will destroy Salman. And Salman doesn't have the sense to identify right scripts. Apparently, Salim Khan told Arbaaz, "Ab isko bhool jao.. Doosre par focus karo," after watching Dabbang 3. 😆
