The movie even with snoop dog didnt beat oso in the usa , to wat the link indicated..click on the link
Lol another one of jealous Sharukh fans cant digest the fact that SIK has beaten all records of OSO, and Akki really is the king of bollywood.
sharesingh is king but not akshay kumar
too late and well srk is cemented with the word number 1 and bollywoods biggest star. even harrison form in terms of box office made more money than stallone and arnie, but is harrison ford ever been closely matched to those big stars.. never.. different actor different style.. media will say hes good but wont cement him to being number 1.
hahahha
It will change, SIK is completely solo, and Akki has given the biggest hit in the Bollywood history, if you talk on number 1 as opposed to best comic actor of Bollywood, then thats Akki, if you talk about best Action Hero then thats Akki, if you speak of number 1 as best Romantic hero, then Akki can do much better than Sharukh if had of been given films by Yash Choprah, if you talk of interms of Looks and Physique and daredevilvry, then number 1 is Akki, See Akki is more special as he gives variety, now interms of Box office king, well I leave to the end of the year to decide.
shareok let me hit u with this..
best romantic hero/ srk
best pysco villain of our time/srk
whos ugly but still pulls of being a star/srk
who does the world say is number 1/srk
who does the international media say is number 1/srk
who is a orphan to the industry/srk
who gave yash chopra movies another lead in movie making with chak de india/srk
even aditya said with chak de india it proves our company can make any type of movie not just big love stories..
ddlg is the only film to beat sholay at the cinemas..for action its sholay for love its ddlg has akki had a film such as this a memorable movie which will test the test of time..nooooooo
srk wins hands down is cemented as number unoooooooooooooooooooooooo
bye bye..
Lets not compare Sholay and DDLJ to Sholay, Sholay was released in a time where Indian audince were not advanced in overseas, so its rediculous to compare it's box office success, also DDLJ was spent on it a lot. second Akki won best villian award for his awesome performance in Ajnabee, from this performance I think akki wud of made a better Don. The reason why Srk got there was because of Yashraj Banners which made him famous, and Baazigaar which was first offered to Akki, but akki rejected the film because when he first arrived he wanted to make few dosh, and show his martial arts skills in action, had of he did Baazigar then he would of been the top man long before. Another thing is Akki can give hits, blockbusters for any film he signs, weather it be low budget, crap film or good film.
"best pysco villain of our time/srk"
I guess Sharukh pays the media to say this, he hammed it in Darr, but he was ok in some scenes. If you want to see a good movie then watch Akki in Sangarsh performance as a phsyco professor and obssessive lover, the film was remake of The Oscar winning film silence of Lamb. Akkis performance was highly acclaimed and the film got some awards even though it failed at box office. Akki pulls of any roles, he fits in any character, give me one decent cop performance of sharukh.
firslty i didnt compare boxoffice of sholay to ddlj i was comparing the staying power on the cinema circuit. it beat sholay on that hands down, and this makes it further a memorable movie. akki will and never had had a memorable movie.. these films are difficult to come by, sallu thort he had it hum app ke hai kaun but it didnt work.
akki may of won the villian role i aint going to doubt his awards, but shahrukh khan was the only villian who became famous, bit like gabbar singh aka amjad khan actually made it bigger than big b and dharmendra in sholay. but amjad khans downfall was that he wasnt villian turned hero type of actor.
srk did that he didnt just become a villian he was everything and won hands down. darr was the benchmark physco role, akki although may of done a pysco role in sagarsh but will it be rememberd or was it any good?
ajay devgan and amir khan got offered the role of baazigar and turned it down, due to the fact they didnt want to be villians in a film. srk took it and made the film a classic. akki in the 90's was mediocre actor ajay devgan was uglier but better to watch than akki was back then, only now hes been pushed up the ladder.
akki can not pull of any role and no other actor but big b has had the miracle to pull any role off although aag as baban singh didnt work. srk proved it with don that he can be a don. srk's don was arrogant saracastic twised and psycotic something which srk has been associated with in the past. akki isnt a good enough actor to change his style apperace or acting strength, in other words he does what he does at his best.
akki needs to surpass amir khan and salman khan to even touch shahrukh khan, sorry mate singh is king but king khan is still king. read the india glitz review.
by the way im a british born pakistani.....
Hera Pheri is a classic film, its those arty type comedys not a slapstick. Mohra especially the songs are not forgotten, Khiladi remains one of the best suspense thrillers, Akki has many memorable films in different genre
"akki can not pull of any role"
Ajnabee, Sangharsh as the phsyco professor cud of easily got him National award and his performance was highly acclaimed, Give me one comic and action performance of the Hammer, plus whats wrong Bhool Bhuliya?
"akki needs to surpass amir khan and salman khan to even touch shahrukh khan, sorry mate singh is king but king khan is still king. read the india glitz review"
Hes already done that with "SINGH IS KING".
"srk proved it with don that he can be a don"
Sharukh doesn't suit in Don type roles, and crtic did not acclaim his performance. the film was pathetic remake and Sharukh came accross as stupidly fun besides looking like a Don, if he wants to act as a Don, he should try another film which isn't any remake of BigB. BigB was amzing, Sharukh just by putting special effect and jumping from the Plain which is fake anyway doesn't prove he is Don
"akki may of won the villian role i aint going to doubt his awards, but shahrukh khan was the only villian who became famous, bit like gabbar singh aka amjad khan actually made it bigger than big b and dharmendra in sholay. but amjad khans downfall was that he wasnt villian turned hero type of actor."
His villainous character was well portrayed, Thats why I think he would of made a convincing Don, though for me Ajay Devgan is best in these type of roles, but he isn't a superstar, so it should of went to Akki. Vinnod Khanna was the first hero to play a villanous character throughout the whole film and the film did well at box office, so its not true Sharukh was first.
srk did that he didnt just become a villian he was everything and won hands down. "darr was the benchmark physco role, akki although may of done a pysco role in sangarsh but will it be rememberd or was it any good?" Sangharsh character had many shades, Akki did full justice and was turning point.
The songs are well remebered and Sangharsh is a film that is Oscar worthy as it was was remake of Oscar winning film, the reason why darr is remembered because its a Yashraj film otherwise Urmila plays psyco role better but the film is as remebered because its not from Yashraj banner.
ok what you still fail to realise hera peri is a great film im not doubting, but its not a akshay kumar film, paresh rawal well and truly is the comedian, akky and sunil are the bums on seat factor behind the movie.
mohra yep great film and songs rememberd, but can you compare it to ddlj absoloutely not or to the classic songs of veer zahra,india loves love and srk has done so many flicks and the songs of these movies are forever rememberd.
you say darr was good because of yashraj, ok did yashraj have the concept of sunny deol playing the under-dog no, did he think srk would magnitude super stardom from a negative role no, so how can you say it was a yashraj movie and this is why it was a super hit.
yashraj films are not all hits my friend. don played shahrukh khan well because his initial entry was of a pysco arrogant guy with baazigar and darr i remember after those 2 movies ppl said srk is arrogant and pyscotic but that was because of the roles he did, ok back to my point ajay devgan wouldnt of suited the role of don maybe a villian but not of don read my points below,
srk played 2 big pysco roles with darr and baazigar
srk has done countless love stories.
don the character is a kind of a split personality 2 faced kind of guy sometimes good sometimes bad,so srk was always best suited with the 2 roles. because he could play the soft and the hard without too much effort.
srk has proved on cinema that he can pull the 2 off convincingly which is a hard thing to do. akky did ajnabee but so what ajnabee didnt give the guy the great accolade of the decade.
but both of us remember depending how old u r about how much ppl loved the negative roles srk did, i think its the first time bollywood experienced this where the audience liked to see the anti hero and give him awards for his performances.
vinod khanna may of done a negative role, but where is khanna now i mean no respect to the man. but his negative role didnt cement his career it didnt give him that boost because he didnt need it. srk is the only actor by thru negative roles he carried off a movie and was the star.
and is the only guy which has cemented his name on the love story roles too, akki hasnt yet to do that and he wont hes touching 40 and not a chance in hell in terms of the industry.
Paresh Rawal isn't a hero, whilst I agree he was best, so was akki who gave a great performance. If thats the case then why not compare Umrish Puri with Sharukh in Karan Arjun??
DDLJ is totally different film from Mohra, and one seen these type of films hundreds of time before.
"but both of us remember depending how old u r about how much ppl loved the negative roles srk did, i think its the first time bollywood experienced this where the audience liked to see the anti hero and give him awards for his performances"
Haha dont make me laugh, Sharukh never was good in double role, his role Vijay was cringworthy, totally trying to imitate Bachan, if Sharukh wants to act as don, then let him try it without doing BigB film.
"srk has proved on cinema that he can pull the 2 off convincingly which is a hard thing to do. akky did ajnabee but so what ajnabee didnt give the guy the great accolade of the decade"
Akki character was orignal and he portrayed it very well, whilst Sharukh was working on BigB's remake with same dialogue and he looked silly as Don, especially the first part and last part.
Baazigar and Darr is totally a different character to a gangster role, in Darr sharukh was obssessive lover. Akki's role in Ajbaee wud of gone with the Don character.
ok firstly hera peri was a triple comedy act,secondy i didnt refer to shahrukh khans double roles but his roles in baazigar,darr and anjam that people liked and which rocketed him to superstardom.
akkis role in ajnabee wasnt psycotic or arrogant, it was perverse where in the role hes interested in sex money and a good lifestyle. srk dons role was more of getting to the top of his game, 2 different types of character and 2 different types of films. akkis role was normal srk's role was demanding as he had to live up the previous don.
shahrukh khans don is in no way like big b's don, as i said srk's don was like a mix between baazigar,darr and anjam and any of his love story movies. big b's done wasnt exactly pyscotic or arrogant but a simple straight forward hi-fliying gangster.
u cant compre amrish puri to srk in karan arjun becoz one was a hero one the villian. secondly the way rakesh roshan shot the film was he gave the hero the credit, he didnt do a yashraj in darr by making sunny deol second to srk when that wasnt his intention.
if u like amrish puri u may look at it that way, but the films intention wasnt that the hero had to have mroe credit. bollywood films are not really geared up that way that the villian gains the credit, where as in baazigar darr and anjam it changed that trend,
