It was 1992 Amitabh bachchan was 50..and he did Khuda Gawah opposite sridevi and it did decent business.not any big blockbuster..Average in Box office. . Just previously in 1991 he did agneepath and won national award.
So many feats even at 50.Still media and the industry started saying It shud be over for Amitabh bachchan as the lead heroic role. He started shooting as a father's role to ajay devgan in major saab shortlyin 1996/1997 after his AB corp was set up.

and despite rishi and the entry of new khan actors AB was still No.1 But still he took a fathers role next just after playing a hero in Khuda gawah at 50.
Can salman , aamir Srk do that right now??they are close to complete 50.
Like the khans.kumas Devgns are still delivering...AB was also delivering decent business even at early 90's

Welcome 90'

beautiful time with lots of family dramas. I find it funny when people criticise 90's cause it was a decade of mixed bag .From patriotism films of sunny deol to Khiladi actions to abbas-mustan thrillers to Yashraj, Johar, Rajshri family emotional films to david dhawan comedy to intense stuff with what aamir did in 1947 earth, sarfarosh and other movies like Rockford
People enjoyed SRK, Salman, Aamir, Saif, Akshay, Sunil. Sunny, Ajay devgn,Akshaye, Bobby deol .Fine

Enter 2000's

a newbatch starts with Hrithik, Abhishek, Vivek Oberoi, Jimmy shergill, Tusshar, Arjun Rampal taking few entries from late nineties like aftab, Fardeen. Adding to this batch also has John abraham, Shahid kapoor.

among the batch above Hrithik has earned the maximum popularity, fan support and BOx office sucess. Over 13 yrs he has been consistently giving good performance to this latest Krishh.

Shudnt the media and industry change the shift or focus of calling him as the baadshah or shahenshah of Industry.

Media had crowned SRK , AAmir salman , akshay ect etc as the box office kings in their initial years. SRK has led the title of King Khan since his DDLJ, KKHH days.
If we say aamir, salman SRK hav truck load of hits..Thats why they are given such titles and respect by the media and film fraternity. Then in late 90's when all hailed all the three Khans(Kuck kuch hota hai, Hum dil de chuke sanam, sarfarosh) ,Devgan,(zakham) kumars( sangharsh) etc etc even at that time AB wa senior to them, Dilip Kumar , rajesh khanna , Rishi kapoor all had huge truck load of hits..Why did was there a shift from rishi kapoor, bachchans to the saifs, akshays, shahrukh, slaman etc etc?

So its high time the media and industry fraternity look for future talents and pamper than and uplift them then to be stuck to the 90's heroes

The funny thing is - even the 2000's batch is now becoming old
a new batch has arrived the late 2000's featuring Ranbir, Emraan, Imran, Ranveer, Arjun kapoor, to the latest SOTY gang, sushant, ayushman khurana.

Isnt it over attachemmt of media and film fraternity towards the 90's heroes?
why was this over atachment not prevalent for the yesteryear stars wen Amitabh , Mithun chakroborty, Rishi kapoor were growing senior near the upcoming akshay, aamir, Srk etc etc

Is there also a reservation for the 90's male actors. by the media fraternity

if people are bored of seeing raveena, karishma, tabu, urmila..why a different treatment for the male actors of 90's? If 90's heroines hv packed up somehow..forcefully by media. Like madhuri;s film is coming but the media has less buzz ..Reason- she is old, she wont do a lip lock like deepika in ram leela.

new stars hav arrived but the media seems is still stuck on 90's heroes

Whenn the 90's heroes came, they were pampered and highlighted

its high time
media starts appreciating and pampering Hrithik as baadshah
praising john for madras cafe , shoot out at wadala
Appreciate Jiimy shergill extensively for sahib , biwi.

Change is the constant thing in life.
If audience can throng theatres to see a new heroines ,,,they shud also opt of films with new heroes. E.g- ram leela.
Its more pleasure to watch the actresses with costars of almost same generation

chennai express may be a hit,dabaang may be a hit..but the pairing of old male actor with anew heroine has to be said goodbye. I think people wud any day choose yeh jawaani over chennai express.
and srk fans wud always love srk with kajol, juhi, madhuri evn if his cheenai express grosses more numbers

God Knows why the obsession with male actors of 90's .
SRK, aamir, all hv done well and they hv got ample popularity and respect..Now the fraternity shud pave way for other actors to occupy that spot. But ist not happening

Even after dismissal collections of Krishh ..He is not the No. 1 hero.
and the worse is wen the 2000's batch is compared with 90's actors

Hope the biasness changes and a new trends develop

come on if we can support new female actors over the old ones..why not cheer for ayushmaan or ranbir over 90's actors...

Just a thought. 😊

nepotism ,favoritism and casting couch are the pillars of BW
star kids or kids of people already in industry get direct and more easy entry
casting couch refrain, to an extent new comers-we have some exception-very few


if people are bored of seeing raveena, karishma, tabu, urmila..why a different treatment for the male actors of 90's?

it's a patriarchal society, we need to accept it
once an actress is married,her prospects are reduced
people want more ''fresh'' faces
people prefer the actor than the actress
most movies BW make are hero-oriented
heroines get flower pot roles to play


we do have a bunch of new talent-varun,ARK,sid,illeana,yami,shraddha...
they need to prove their worth!!
a stupid movie like SOTY will not make anyone king of BW or superstar

with better movies and better performances,the star power rise

as for HR,that guy got a standing ovation when he came in CNWK(only 2 actors got it till now),K3 trailer is the most viewed BW trailer...he is a superstar!!
in the next years,if he makes more good movies per year,he will be the king!!

same will apply for the newcomer

Ranbir is going the right way as for now if we exclude his besharam disaster.

it was strange and unfortunate that from the last decade, apart from Hrithik none of the promising actors copuld survive, be it Abhishekh, whom media hailed as the new prince.. i still remember, how Abhishek was the competitor for Hrithik and kareena's mother made kareena leave KHNPH and do refugee with Abhi only becos they knew that how big a film would be when junior B and junior K will debute 2geder..
Then we had uday, fardeen, who were launched with all the hype and glamour and failed terribly..

and then this era, we again got so many new talented actors, but unlike Ranbir nobody has succeeded to prove themselves as successful stars individually..

yes both Ranbir and Hrithik r star kids,m but still Abhishekh and Uday also was, its like attitude matters along with approach..

Khans r very seniors to them, and when Hrithik was compared with them since his first film, it was an achievement in itself, and he still competes with them.. similarly when at a very young age RK is compared with the khans, its his credit, his due, that he is hailed as one of the topmost actors...

@red:- i think that is the reason i am stuck being his fan since years..
he has always competed wid himself, he was written off, he tried different concepts, roles, failed in some, but got right in most of the experiments..
he is a superstar in his own merit, and he is still hailed after the khans, he is a decade younger than them in terms of both age and career, he still has achievments that equals theirs..
he never tried to follow khans, and thats the best thing about him..
RK's biggest mistake was he tried to follow salman khan and do besharam, but i guess that flop will not affect him much..

It's not the media who keeps these stars going at all. It's the fans and their support that has them still going strong. The media has to jump in to support and popularize whatever the audience loves.

I agree with part that heroine should be on par with hero.
but it is not the choice of audience to choose a hero. it is sometimes producer or director or actor who is casting himself who are behind such decision s.
media is a puppet in this circus and they go where the grass is much greener

i agree, the same male actors are only acting because the audience just want to see them more than the female actresses of yesteryears, sad but true.
