Koffee W Karan was better when I was a kid (Early 2000s) - Page 4

Of the people you have mentioned, Vicky is definitely talented, so are Tiger and Kriti, they might not be great or something but they are quite good onscreen. I have always found Tapsee mediocre, Kiara is bland but has managed to give good performances, Shraddha is beautiful but that's about it, she is below average. And I wouldn't necessarily correlate Instagram followers to actual popularity. Alia is a good actress, she has talent but she doesn't look glamorous. I think even Deepika and Kat were much more better and happening than most of these actresses mentioned by us both.

I am not talking about talent alone. I am talking about success in terms of box office and critical acclaim. Shraddha's last few films Chichore and Baaghi 3 remain some of the highest grosser of the respective years they were released. I agree she is far from talented. But she can def be called a bigger success than the likes of Sara, Jhanvi or Ananya. Fortunately or unfortunately. Like I said I don't think either of those three is talented. But Sara's invitation makes the most sense. Since she is the most successful out of the three.

About Tapsee when the pandemic first hit. I remember Thappad being one of the most critically acclaimed films of the year. Although it released on a OTT platform. It was a female-centric film that revolved around her. And many critics gave her raving reviews. Again her films and performances normally are critically acclaimed.

Vicky has had a whole bunch of success in recent years both at the box office and in term of critical acclaimed no need to debate that. Tiger again the box office pull was there. Baagi 3 among other films. Kriti just won a best actress award. So they are more successful happening people of the time. Compared to the people Karan has been inviting. I am talking success not talent really.

Kiara again Good News, Jug Jug Jeo, Kabir Singh, Shershah, Bhool Bulaiya 2. She has had all sorts of successes as well.

Arjun and PC during that time (2004/2005) were doing a world tour w SRK. One could say KJO brought them cause of that Association. I don’t think its a coincidence

The guy who he has not worked with in God knows how long. Sushmita, Aishwarya, Lara, Bipasha, John. Vivek Oberoi was all invited too. They weren't on tours with SRK.

Lara/Vivek/John in that era (2004/2005) did Kaal (Karan’s film lol)

I wonder Did he want those people for their personalities or for them to speak how good producer he is 😆 His agenda seems prevalent back then

The choosing of guests is not my issue. The cringe factor is.

To his credit KJO brought on Baahubali cast, Singers and even RRR cast in last 2 seasons. Just don’t think the episodes were all that fun.

I believe that was after the season. PC was supposed to be in Kaal but couldn’t work out dates. Sush, Aish, Bips , weren’t working for him. They were just the happening stars of the time. Name who else he could have invited ??? Malika Sherawat ? Rakhi Sawant ???

Malika came in season 2 w Bhansali

Let’s simplify. These are people confirmed for this year. Are they all agenda or are they happening or a mix ?

Perhaps in a non Alia/Ranveer episode the cringe might be toned down. An my emotions will be fine lol

• Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt
• Sara Ali Khan and Janhvi Kapoor
• Akshay Kumar and Samantha Prabhu
• Anil Kapoor and Varun Dhawan
• Shahid Kapoor and Kiara Advani
• Ananya Panday and Vijay Deverakonda
• Tiger Shroff and Kriti Sanon
• The 2 actors from RRR
• Vicky K and Sid M
• Kareena and karishma

As I said he could have found better guest than Ananya, Jhanvi Sara. Even Kartik Aryan would have been better. Shradha despite being a nepo kid isn’t a Dharma talent.

Deepika ?

Katrina ?

The last female superstars of Bollywood ??

here are some more guest !

Malika never worked with Kjo so when does it matter when she came. Lara, John, Vivek worked with Dharma afterwards.

John/Vivek came literally 3 weeks before Kaal released. If you don’t think that episode was film promotion to a certain extent then will have to agree to disagree.

Well that was one film among many guest that he had no association with. Himesh Rishemya ? In that case Ranveer and Alia also talked about Rocky aur Rani ki prem Kahani. Both are more closely related to Karan.

But you said it would make sense for Katrina to come in this season. She just released a film w Karan in November (2021) That could be termed agenda same as this Ranveer/Alia show

She isn’t a Dharma talent. Like Jhanvi and Ananya. Who were launched by Kjo and are his babies. He even said if he had to chose between Sara and Jhanvi for his next film. He would chose Jhanvi. Because he launched her and feels responsible for her journey. Sara has worked with Karan too in Simba. But that doesn’t make her a Dharma talent. Everyone works with everyone. Is Katrina a Jhanvi or Ananya to Karan ? No ! She works with him on occasion. Dharma productions is a monopoly. So they produce many films. But he curates the careers of those he launched mostly regardless of how talentless they are.
