Has Bollywood Succumbed? Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and Aamir Khan are its top actors, yet they haven’t even fired a shot. The Khans probably want to say, “Abhi Hum Zinda Hai”
Karan Johar referred to this presumption as “rubbish and bullshit” highlighting how successful movies will still be seen despite the negative social media commentary surrounding them. Even if movies like Gangubai Kathiawadi and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 have demonstrated this, people still want a reminder.
There hasn’t been a single Bollywood film released that is expected to be a hit. Shamshera’s excitement was inconsistent, Prithviraj, and it included some cynical undertones. Karan Malhotra’s debut original story in Shamshera and Akshay Kumar’s lack of effort for Prithviraj were visible to many.
Despite all the criticism, Aamir Khan’s Laal Singh Chaddha appears to be a foregone conclusion for exhibitors for several reasons. Given that this is a family-friendly comedy, director Advait Chandan’s talent at evoking emotions in Secret Superstar will undoubtedly is useful. More than any other story in the West, Forrest Gump’s tale runs the risk of becoming “densified”. Aamir Khan is perhaps the only actor in Bollywood who could truly capture this subject.
Pathaan and Jawan, both starring Shah Rukh Khan, are examples of movies you can predict won’t disappoint at the box office. With John Abraham, Deepika Padukone, and the YRF factor Pathaan has a lot of value compounding on itself.
Tiger 3 from Salman Khan is poised to shatter box office records. Salman Khan and the YRF camp would capitalize on Pathaan’s popularity by overtly teasing its espionage universe in Ek Tha Tiger, Tiger Zinda Hai, and other films. By this point, everyone would have seen Salman’s cameo in Pathaan piqued their interest in this one.
Let’s not forget that its top players haven’t even fired a shot yet if this is a fight for those who proclaim “Bollywood Has Fallen!”
