Indian stardom is a completely different beast. The kind of hero worship a leading star gets in BW is so major that none of those small character roles in HW can match it. HW is just using Indian actors in small bits and pieces to get the Indian audience to watch their movies. Nothing more than that.

I remember Hrithik had gotten a HW agent more than a decade ago. His name was Jai Khanna. That guy had appeared on some panel discussion and said the big Indian stars actually have zero interest in HW because they can make way more money in India. If they took out time to go work in HW, they would actually be losing money. It's also not satisfying for their fans to see them in small roles.

Irrfan wanted the Indian fame and that's why he kept doing movies in BW instead of just moving to HW. Those HW roles just enhanced his BW resume and it could be used to differentiate himself from his peers so it worked for him.

His role in Hindi Medium >>>>> his roles in Life of Pi or Jurassic World

BO success doesn’t matter in the long run . Irfan will always be appreciated and respected, Salman won’t be

He got the best farewells ever, which only a handful in the industry can dream of! What better way to measure an actor’s success? Otherwise success is subjective, more or less who are we to say?

Yes he did get but he wasn't there to see it......

Off late, he did get the respect....but the ultimate goal to cherish for any artist is to see his work being appreciated, people thronging to see his work, cause work is like a baby for the artist......

Also I am thinking that no show at box office did disappoint him, and being his son babil must've seen it more close, esp since he aspires to be an artist too...

I am sure he felt all that and being his son he probably have seen it all...I only wished he used some other time to speak about it all, if at all...I am afraid his words will now be simply drowned in the noise!

I wish, truly wish people would stop making people who pass away fallen heroes..

and stop discrediting the success of others by calling it mediocre.. I am sorry.. just because someone works in a certain type of movie, it in no way implies that their hard work is any less.. stop discrediting their success and undermining their hard work trying to prove the superiority of a certain type of cinema

That said, Irfan was a phenomenal actor.. and it wasn't like he wasn't appreciated.. he was.. every single time applauded for his act..

It is up to the audience to decide which type of movies they wAnt to invest.. stop guilt tripping them into liking a certain type of movies.. movies are meant to entertain.. If a movie entertains you, it's worth your money.. simple as that
