So why are we making such ludicrous comparisons now? No one compared ABHIMAAN, JURMANA or ALAAP with ZANJEER, SHOLAY, DEEWAAR or AMAR AKBAR ANTHONY then. While the films helmed by Chopra, Sippy, Desai and Mehra would fetch astronomical prices from distributors, the ones directed by Hrishi-da would be sold for one-third or one-fourth of the price because the distribution fraternity as well as the aam aadmi knew that Hrishi-da's films were in a different space altogether. In the 1980s, when the Bachchan era was at its peak, Amitabh Bachchan had his four favorites - Ramesh Sippy, Manmohan Desai, Prakash Mehra and Yash Chopra - but he took time out of his busy schedule to do films for Hrishikesh Mukherjee. The naysayers may label their choices regressive or an easy route to attain success, but we must respect the decisions of SRK and Salman. Why, may I ask? Should actors be limiting themselves to mindless entertainers? Doesn't Aamir have a right to do the kind of cinema he feels is appropriate for him? Every actor has his/her reasons for accepting a film assignment. But you *cannot* compare TALAASH with DABANGG 2, CHENNAI EXPRESS or EK THA TIGER.Ī section of the movie-going audience is of the opinion that Aamir shouldn't have consented to do a film like TALAASH. You can compare DABANGG 2 and CHENNAI EXPRESS, hardcore masala films both, with EK THA TIGER.
Also, suspense thrillers have their limitations as far as BO revenue is concerned. Expecting TALAASH to break the record set by Aamir himself would be foolhardy. Let's not compare it with EK THA TIGER or JAB TAK HAI JAAN either. So has TALAASH lived up to those lofty expectations?įirst things first! Let's not compare TALAASH with 3 IDIOTS. His name is synonymous with qualitative films… Three prime reasons why everyone expected TALAASH to deliver big time at the BO. His track record at the BO is unbeatable. Sure, the actor appeared as the second lead in DHOBI GHAT, besides making an appearance in a song in DELHI BELLY, but post 3 IDIOTS, Hindi cinema's biggest hit so far, TALAASH is his first full-fledged role after almost three years.Īamir is known to set new benchmarks.
Aamir's acting career took a backseat when he decided to focus on producing a string of hi-concept films in the intervening period, DHOBI GHAT and DELHI BELLY]. The three Khans enjoy tremendous fame, popularity and fan following across the globe, which explains why their films are looked forward to with enthusiasm.
