That is the criteria by which Hindi movies are judged.
Yeah, SRK has massive following among the NRIs. So his film overperformed outside.
But in India, which is where hits used to be counted until Brahmastra, Dilwale lost, and it wasn't even close. Those em facts.
And I don't like DP, but I'm ending up defending her because fair is fair.
SRK is only called the Badshah of Bollywood. He's not actually badshah of anything. No one's obligated to drop their films to make his movies hits. Deepika was perfectly justified in saying challenge accepted when it was SRK himself who initiated that internet chatter.
During the Aryan fiasco, SRK fans were actually keeping tabs of who in Bollywood supported vocally. Those who kept silent were condemned as traitors (Paraphrasing).
Seriously? People are entitled to prioritize their own safety. They're not obligated to fall on the sword for SRK.Nor is anyone obligated to withdraw when the king saunters into the arena.
I dislike Deepika for her PR, her comments about other women, her slobbering over successful men. I dislike her behavior as though she alone is responsible for the success of any movie she's in.
But she won the Dilwale-Bajirao fight fair and square. Though I would characterize it more as an SLB win.
