Khan Saab's fans will always be bias in proving that he made those 2 studios, but the fact is, without those 2 studios films, he has got nothing.


What is the purpose of this thread when it has to be 1 sided bias viewpoint?


Before he launched his home production RCE, check out how many films without those 2 studios has he given in mega hit/blockbuster category. Is there something to be taken as example as look without them also he made this film bigger?


If a film is ATBB, Blockbuster & Superhit, I believe that film's hero/main lead has very big pull among audience to give that verdict films in consistency for almost 2-3 decades.


Remove those 2 studios films from 90s & you will have Karan Arjun as his biggest Super Blockbuster film, ab uss film ka credit bhi Khan Saab par akele nahi hai, Salman was bigger star(abhi bhi hai).


Baar baar SRK ko poora credit dena is bachon wali harkatein.

Yash Raj is one thing. But it's bizarre to me that anyone thinks KJo made SRK. KJo has spent his whole career trying to recreate DDLJ. Until YJHD and Agneepath, Karan had nothing to show without SRK.


Even for YRF, SRK has bailed out YRF multiple times and now once again it looks like it's on SRK to bail out YRF. It's pretty obvious who the bigger name is in both cases.

Dharma Productions really didn’t even start making multiple movies a year till 2009.

What has Khan Saab without DDLJ in 90s?


His 2nd biggest grosser is - KKHH (Dharma)


His 3rd biggest grosser is = DTPH (YRF)


In 90s, he has only 1 Karan Arjun which was on par success with DDLJ, and agar aap DDLJ bhi dekho, woh bhi YRF hai.


Ghantaa kuch nahi Khan saab ke paas without these 2 studios.

Nobody made anyone.. they all formed a relationship everyone benefited from.. YRF was giving flops before Darr.. they found success with Shah and never felt the need to look back.. they didn't look for other actors not because they wanted to "make" Shah or because they loved him.. he fit the bill of their romantic hero and brought back money.. win win

Karan practically launched Dharma's second innings with KKHH.. dharma wasn't a big name in any way.. Shah delivered then too and the rest is history

Saying what if Shah did not have YRF or Dharma is pretty much the same like saying what if Akki hadn't done action or later patriotic movies, what if Salman hadn't debuted with MPK or what if he wasn't Saleem's son . (No, i dont think Salman's success is due to his father but we all know that his father did call up producers to cast him after his debut)..

No body made anyone.. They all found a setting that worked for eceryone and tasted incredible success

Your statements assume no reaction from SRK if he didn't get those films. He would've done other films.


I mean... it's like asking would Amitabh have been successful without Manmohan Desai?


Salman without Barjatya?


Madhuri without Subhash Ghai?


If those people didn't get those directors, they would've gone to someone else. They already had the talent (whatever kind it may be) and the drive. Only opportunity was provided by director/producers.

The difference between Khan Saab & Stars whom you have mentioned above is that they have given much bigger hits other than those directors/studios, while Khan Saab left with only 2 studios to back him till the time he was able to launch his own studio.

Heh? Deewana? King Uncle? RBGG? Baazigar? KHKN? Karan Arjun?


Not to mention the fact SRK did it on his own, without an influential father (Salman) or letter from Indira Gandhi (Amitabh).


If not for YRF and KJo, SRK would've done films with other producers and continued to give hits as he did with Raj Kanwar, Rakesh Roshan, Aziz Mirza, Abbas Mastan.


YRF and Dharma in fact did more harm to actor SRK than any other producer/director duo he worked with.


But it's cool. If you feel SRK would not have done anything else in the absence of those 2 producers, that's your prerogative.

I appologize for my very long posts here but what I try is to not come across as someone who only wants to praise SRK but to value the work he has done which some deny him (see my initial post).

It is clear the SRK's rise is also because of his collaboration with KJo and YRF and Guddu is right that most of his Blockbuster movies are a fruit of that collaboration.

However, it is also clear that this collaboration was fruitful for KJo and YRF.

At the end, it is SRK's personality which is important for the position he has acquired and I won't play the comparison game with other actors...that is not the purpose of this thread.
