Bollywood without 3 Khans - Salman, Aamir, Srk - Page 8

Salman debuted with a minor role in a film called "Biwi Ho To Aisi", which in turn gave him "Maine Pyaar Kiya". Sooraj Barjatya debuted as a director with that film and so did Bhagyashree. Rajshree productions made critically/small budget films that were not as successful. Maine Pyaar Kiya worked and everyone's fate got changed. And it wasn't really due to the debut film but films thereafter. How many remember Kumar Gaurav--son of legendary actor Rajendra Kumar who hit jackpot with a film like "love story" but then could not sustain the successful period.

On the topic, BW is incomplete without the three Khans--they have each given something unique to film fraternity.

Thats true for many actors like Amitabh, Dharmendra, Raj Kapoor, Dev Anand as well.. Infact in Malaysian weddings its common to hear songs from Jeetendra movies..

Well I've been to Malaysia and trust me, there's nobody more popular than Shahrukh there. The taxi driver had a CD called best of Srk playing, the waiter sang Chaiyya Chaiyya for us and so on.

I would have never imagined Bollywood without the khans!

As I'd said in posts on previous pages. Those who think No Khans, no Bollywood or they made Bollywood are either not much aware of past accomplishments of yesteryear stars or do not even want to look up anything beyond Khans. Extreme statements are order of the day it seems. Maybe decades later the fans of that era's stars will assert there's no Bollywood without stars of that (future) era.

Partly it's media to blame for lack of facts in discussions around cinema. Most reports are PR kind of stuff with statements like "never seen before in history" though writers themselves don't bother about history. These days, with advent of internet, fans also write their own history (review, analysis of career) to boost their star. Actual facts and authentic history gets submerged because yesteryear Bollywood has no one to speak for its accomplishments.

So mostly agree Bollywood won't have made big without Khans. 👏
