Amusing how those who failed to match Khans are now trying to ignore their 90s and 2000s hits.
QSQT, HAHK, HSSH, DDLJ, HHRPK, HDDCS, Raja Hindustani, Darr, Deewana, Judwa, Jeet, Sanam Bewafa, MPK, Saajan, Biwi no.1, Rangeela, Ghulam, DTPH, Pardes, Ishq, KKHH, Dil, DHKMN, Raju ban gya gentleman, Karan Arjun, Baazigar, JJWS, Patthar ke Phool etc are all Khans' super hits and top grossers even before 2000s.
In 2000s also they had top grossers like K3G, Lagaan, DCH, TZP, RDB, Ghajini, Wanted, RNBDJ, OSO, CDI, Fanaa, Maine Pyar kyu kiya, Devdas, Tere naam, 3 Idiots, KANK etc.
Even a flop film like Mangal Pandey the Rising broke all opening records and became biggest first week collection of all times. Its record was broken only by Fanaa next year in 2006.
LMAO! Hrithik himself was influenced by Salman to build his body and by Aamir to do one film at a time.
Anyone who says Salman became a star in 2010 will surely be laughed at. No one can ignore his superhits and ATBBs, yearly top grossers before 2010. MPK, Saajan, HAHK, Jeet, Judwa, HSSH, HDDCS, Pyar kiya toh darna kya, Patthar ke Phool, No Entry, Maine Pyar kyu kiya, Tere Naam, Biwi no1, Sanam Bewafa, Love, Wanted etc are all superhits.
The frustration is understandable because no star has ever been able to match Khans despite all hype, producer papas, famous GFs or kissing ass of politicians.
And no propaganda or controversy could dent stardom of Khans who return again each time media writes their professional obituaries.
LOL at saying Amitabh was superstar of 90s. Nope. He retired after Hum and went to business. He returned to films only in late 90s with garbage like Lal Badshah, Mrtiyudaata, Kohram or playing sidekick to Govinda in Bade miya chhote miya. Amitabh got new lease of life playing dad to Khans or small roles in Khan films from 2000 onwards. Thanks to Aamir, Amitabh can also boast of being narrator for an Oscar nominated film. Thanks to SRK and Salman he got new lease of life doing dad roles in Mohabbatein, Baghban, K3G, KANK.
Big LOL if one calls Madhuri bigger star post 1995. She was giving flops post HAHK. DTPH saved her and she got a hit.
It is Madhuri who herself began working with Khans because she did not want to be typecast as older heroine working with older stars like Anil, Jackie, Sanjay, Jeetendra etc.
Sunny Deol has beaten Khans only once with Gadar. Otherwise he was doing well but Khans overtook him easily after 1993. Aamir beat him fair and square as Raja Hindustani became ATBB and Ghatak was just a hit (they released on same date). Even Salman beat all Sunny, Sanju films with ATBBs MPK and HAHK. Way before SRK drubbed him further with ATBBs DDLJ and KKHH.
Aamir and Salman are still giving ATBBs and yearly top grossers like 3 Idiots, Ghajini, Dabangg, Dangal, PK while Sunny Deol is retired or giving flops like Ghayal 2.
Cope.
