I think it is sad but it is true.....
This is the begining of the end of the brand SRK.....
SRK messed with many big and small name sin Bollywood just to promote himself up. For me lost the respect when he commented on a married woman in public....
He named himself KING and made media say that too. and now that name is coming back to him as a joke.
For me SRK is going down as a very well know SUPERSTAR of old times - Rajesh Khanna.
Like him SRK is not undersatnding that eveyr one at tops comes down and if he does that elegantly then he wil lbe famous like BIG B but if not then he is going to be like Rajesh khanan.
SRK also knows that he don't have the thing that needs to become BIG B - Respect of his co-stars and collegues and the acting abilities to carry of different roles......

I disagree king khan was a nickname given by fans and his films do really well even today..hes not fallen out with loads of stars alot of actors still really like him..even for oso he got so many actors to come thats just because of him..even big b was at the screening i saw in the making.Alot of rivarly is created by media to be honest and in bollywood alot of actors will tell you theres no such a thing as friends more co-stars etc or ones that are dating. SRK is one of the few stars i know has close friends karan, kajol , farah, aditya etc behind him because he is loyal to his friends.
To me he is a great actor but sticks to what he does best ...he can do negative roles just as well as anything else.Anyone who says he is not versatile has not seen all his movies. Paheli, swades etc were all different to rahul type roles and in daar, anjaam all completly differnet that is variety but note people want to see him in romantic roles because thats what he does best...what more i love about him is he is really entertaining.
This is just my view and obviously you are allowed yours.
Big B deserves respect but personally am not a major fan hes a damn good actor thats it.

Thats correct...he is good at what he does......infact very good....
But what he does is really limited....
Now that public is not at all impressed by the NRI locales.......they want more in a movie than romance and USA.......thats why YRF are lagging behind while Amir Khan production is raving ahead.
SRk is an entertainmer..but the kindof roles he does ....
Do we have a place for a 40 plus actor romancing on screen?
Do we prefers a 40 plus to romance an dsing around the trees or we would want to see Ranbir, Neil or Shahid do that?
For me till now SRK kas failed every time he has tried anything new except - Chak de (which again is a movie which is STORY based and any actor would have been ok for that) ------Paheli, Swadesh, Badshah, Duplicate and the list goes on......
He is good but the question is HOW far he would go from here?

Correction, He didnt claim he was "KING" the media, and the public did....

I dont understand? How is not getting along with co-stars, gonna lead to his demise with the public?

SRK has made some of the biggest hits of all time! He, is an actor and superstar, thats why he is KING! We all call Big B a legend, but is he really?

Sweety, just because u feel that way doesnt mean everyone feels that way! If ur kind of cinema doesnt accept a 40 year old dancing around trees doesnt mean everyones in the same boat. U might wanna ask the millions of people all over the world howfeel about SRK! And i assure you, u feel be left astounded.those few people he may have rubbed the wrong way dont decide his fate at the box office or with his fans, n im sure he could careless!

U ask how far he would go? Well around the time the movie har dil jo pyar karega rleased and hrithik came along, srk was written off! They said he should now exit movies because nothings left for him to do. And then BAm! Mohabbatein came n he shut everyone up! If big b can do some retarded a** movies like aag, nishabd to name a few, and can survive what makes u think srk whos given continuous blockbusters, not even hits blockbusters cant survive?

As for chak de! I beg to differ that anyone couldve pulled that off, ive run every actor in my mind to c whod fit the bill, but i cant imagine anyone but srk, i dont think anyone couldve had the intensity in their likes like srk did. Once again the critics wrote this movie off as well! But srk proved them wrong, and also ended the industries financial crisis with the first hit off the year, oh no wait it was a blockbuster! Biggest grosser then! Hes only broken his own set records in the past.

N plz lets not start on "any actor couldve done the movie" because y limit this phrase to srk? It applies to every actor n actress. But the fact remains, the movies were done by srk n were successfull partly because of him.

I love akshay n his comedic roles, but y pick srk for not being diverse? U find what ur good at, and what kind of cinema the audience likes from u and thats what u do. So id say akshays in the same boat then.

He may have failed for u but that makes NO difference because u are amongst a handful of people who perhaps wish to c him failed! Because he is far from over and done. And what u state is what u may feel but not the majority.

Ok i could go on about this but i cant type now, ur analysis of srk's end was rather weak and limited to only u. Dont mean to offend any1, ciao

Ok if you take a time to understand the post then you would see the point - Is SRK capable of different genre of acting like Amir, Akshay or BIG B.
Will he be able to do roles or even get roles written for him when he reaches the age of BIG B (whom some people are so eager to condem just becasue he is made to compete with SRK)
How many film does he has in his hands right now...and don't tell me that he is being selective.
Being fan is ok but being blinded by his persona is whole lot of other things.
But i have seen that one mentions SRK the whole lot os fans gang on you and start prasing him for just sake of praising without even understanding what the point is.
but when it is case of otehr actors then it is totally different.
So I would suggest that think and consider the roles he has done. I love his movies but for me he is done. AS I am no longer in mood to hear "K...k...Kiran" but i am looking for ;
New actors as well as old actors with new directors, new story lines and new content......

THE STORY is the heor of the movies. There are many movies that have great stories..infact the main player is the story. Thats when you totally forget the actor and remember the character. Thats what Chake de was . It wa snot SRK but it was KAbir Khan. There are many movies like that where stories had played a pivotal role and the sctors didn't matter....let me think over it and I will tell you more names .....soon😃

Okay I will caveat this post with the fact that I am a huge SRK fan. Next, I will say this discussion is pointless. How is this the beginning of the end for SRK? He's just come off the massive hit OSO. Yes, maybe his other ventures are not doing so well, but give the devil his due. He's also got an interesting lineup of movies this year. The fact remains that SRK's movies do very well and have created history.
Someone spoke about 40 plus actors. Akshay, Salman, and Amir Khan are in the same boat. Yes, the former three are all special and gifted actors in their own way, but their box office track records are no match for SRK. Also, I just saw the movie "Singh is King". It was fabulous, brainless entertainment at it's best! However, this movie will never be remembered like a Chak De India or a DDLJ.
Truth be told, all of the 40 plus actors have to diversify and perhaps retire gracefully. I think this is an area where Amir Khan is excelling and hopefully SRK will too. When SRK gives two to three flops in a row, then you can say it's the end. Right now SRK is still King!

Akshay and different genres all he does is comedy!! seriously ...how can you say that hes more versatile that srk all both have done is stuck to what they know best...srk and akshay both have in past done different genres.
Thats correct...he is good at what he does......infact very good....
But what he does is really limited....
Now that public is not at all impressed by the NRI locales.......they want more in a movie than romance and USA.......thats why YRF are lagging behind while Amir Khan production is raving ahead.
Hows amir khan productions ahead yash raj have had hits for years and now are trying something new they still have hits chak de, black, dhoom all yash raj banner releases ...amir khans productions had like a few films that have done well you cannot compare that to a established years old banner.
SRk is an entertainmer..but the kindof roles he does ....
Do we have a place for a 40 plus actor romancing on screen?
Do we prefers a 40 plus to romance an dsing around the trees or we would want to see Ranbir, Neil or Shahid do that? I still want to see srk and if you watch his movies its not romantic young heros but a adult type ..and whatever srk does would love to see since it entertaines.
For me till now SRK kas failed every time he has tried anything new except - Chak de (which again is a movie which is STORY based and any actor would have been ok for that) ------Paheli, Swadesh, Badshah, Duplicate and the list goes on...... swades was appreciated and did well...also his negative roles have done well...chak de was meant for srk otherwise you can say any actor can do any movie..its actor that creates the character otherwise why do films with a good story fail without a big cast.
He is good but the question is HOW far he would go from here?
hes established himself and done so many things to me he does not need to prove himself....its new actors that are starting out need to prove themselves..srk can choose what he wants to do.

[quote]How many film does he has in his hands right now...and don't tell me that he is being selective. [/quote]
He was offerred Hirani's Idiots first, not Amir. He wanted to work in it but ended up rejecting it because he couldn't give the dates, which he gave to Shankar for Robot. Agree that didn't work either due to creative differences, but point is, he still gets offers from other directors. Hirani, for one, is known to badly want to work with him. Hirani's movie was a VVC production, and VVC wanted SRK too in the movie....which shows that even after there coldness about the Paheli oscar comment, SRK is still very much in demand and even VVC wanted him.
Another thing, Akshay and Salman do the same things too, it's not just SRK. Infact SRK has experimented more. All Akshay does is slapstick, lame comedy. How is that versatile? SRK has been giving bigger hits than Salman and Amir, does that mean they should retire too?
As for Chak De, okay maybe anyone could have acted and got critical acclaim for it. But I somehow highly doubt anyone could have pushed that movie to become a "blockbuster" without any songs, or heroines. Put Akshay in a serious movie with no leading lady, no songs and a very serious role...it'll probably see the fate of his movies pre-2007 era. And I also doubt anyone could've portrayed the scene where India wins any better than SRK. The emotinal range in that scene was owned by SRK.
Also, why should he reitre so early when Big B, in his 60s, did crap movies like Lal Baadshah, Aks, Aankhen, Boom etc and is still surviving and thriving? Everyone has their fare share of flop movies, why would SRK being an exception to this.
