His last commercial film was Bang Bang which was in 2014 and created a opening record despite clash. The stardom of Khans is highly overrated as they have solo releases during festival time. I think Akshay is bigger than them as of now. Except probably Aamir. And what consistency are you talking about? When was the last time SRK gave a hit or a decent performance? When was the last time Salman gave a hit during Eid? His last three Eid releases have been disasters.


Last two have been flop, but far from disaster.
As for Sultan made more money than any of HR movie has done ever even with adjusted rates.

Anyways you don't seem to get what ATC is saying.

Hrithik was quite famous before 2010 and as much as the Khans as Salman was nowhere back then (except for his first movie else it was Wanted that was a turning point). Only SRK and Aamir were on the top and Aamir also was not doing much movies. People were crazy about Hrithik and his all movies were house full and tickets used to be sold in black.

Later, he just went downhill and it was not even because of his bad movie choices but because he appears once in 2 years on screen and even the movies that he acts in are boring. His popularity has still not faded away as in case of MohenjoDaro and Kaabil, the theater was still packed on the first 3 days. Due to bad WOM and the bad storyline, the movies flopped.

It's still not late and even if his one movie becomes a hit if not a BB, he can still revive his career.

Everyone knows about the "laashein" of distributors for Jai Ho, Tubelight and Race 3. Same with SRK for JHMS. And how they had to refund.

Same with Thugs. These people get maximum screens, solo releases, free runs and yet give a 150 Crs for Aamir and Salman to 55 Crs for SRK, how are they consistent? If they released the film on Non Holidays or during clash, they would not have crossed even 100 Crs. This is a reality.

The rules cannot change depending on last names. If someone had a flop in a risky genre with clash is written off. Same applies for others who have given nothing but disasters even in Solo releases. I rest my case on this issue.

The theaters were definitely not packed for Mohenjadaro or Kaabil, not even in the first 3 days.

The media tried like crazy to pump him up and pull down others to anoint him after his debut. He couldn't make it and settled down into eventual mediocrity. Nobody even thinks about him anymore. He's barely relevant.

@Thunder Light: I don't think you are still getting what is the crux.


See HR had huge potential, but he never was the biggest star.Even when he was giving the biggest hits, the biggest star in the country still was SRK.


That has nothing to do with the hits or current form of Khans.


It is the talk about peak, and peak of Khans is bigger than HR.


Also what risky genre are you talking about??
All of the Mohenjo daro, Kaabil and Bang Bang were all commercial movies.
It is not like HR was doing an October.
Even Tubelight and Fan were more risky projects than them.

I know SRK fans live in a parallel universe where he is the "King Khan" and Biggest Star in the World (even today). And this forum is full of his fans. I dont feel the need to argue with you any further as am Happy with the journey and career of Hrithik.

Dont worry. As long as his Haters and Stalkers are there, the man is never going to be irrelevant. ;)

I suspect I am older than many here lol so please. 😆 I saw Hrithik at his peak too but he was never at the top. He never had the Khan level craze nor standing. He was touted as Shah's competitor once upon a time by the media esp during his debut but he didnt live upto it. He is a sporadic star in a way. Like Sanjay Dutt. A few hits here and there but nothing consistent. He could have been something considering he has the looks and acting talent but then zero personality and Krish franchise pretty much killed him for audience looking for intelligent content. Anyway he was never at the top. He never dominated the BO for a long time so trying to spin it on my age wont really help you. 😆

Did you notice how you moved the goal posts there? He has been at the top. He has had Khan level craze (which can be shown by objective evidence - BO, awards, etc). So now you are changing the argument to "he never dominated the BO for a long time ". 👏I am not the one spinning. I was kindly offering excuses for your mistake.

I do not think that Hrithik himself believes in the rat race and he was never hungry for the top spot which makes him a more relaxed, secure and a dedicated actor for the choice of his films. I mean he can fit the bill for any genre of movies and how great is that when you actually see that Hrithik's bang bang with a negative WOM and clash against an excellent movie like Haider actually did better than the touted to be biggest stars like Aamir, SRK and Salman's recent films? And nobody boasts about it because neither his pr and nor his fans actually have any agenda to prove that technically he is in that level of Khans even though the impression is that he is not.
Claiming the top spot is really not important if his movies do well and i believe both super 30 and the YRF movie will fare better, at least he is working in the same year for a change.

yes SRK was at the top once upon a time but Hrithik did hamper that peak decade of SRK, it was nothing like salman or Aamir's peak which is still continuing.

Those who think he is over, good for you, let me tell you a joke, there was a year called 2016 when india forums believed that a woman named kangna took over deepika's spot and katrina's rage, and now katrina has starred in the biggest movies of past two years, and deepika is the numero uno of the country. Similarly, a month ago we all believed Aamir is invincible, but yes Thugs happened, a year ago Bhai and his fans believed that his star power is bigger than his lies and now he has had back to back eid flops which is unfathomable. So yes, think whatever you want, country's biggest stars never fade unless they retire, Khans will remain Khans, and Hrithik will remain the last super star after 2000s era.
