Shahrukh Khan losing the battle of khans from flops

From a purely statistical point of view, we will use a measure called Star Ranking
Here’s How We Calculate Star Ranking
  • 100 Crs Points: 100 x Number Of Films In The 100 Crore Club
  • 200 Crs Points: 200 x Number Of Films In The 200 Crore Club
  • 300 Crs Points: 300 x Number Of Films In The 300 Crore Club
  • Overseas Points: 50 x Number Of Films In Top 10 Highest Overseas Grossers
  • In Case Of Tie, The Position Is Given Based On The Collections Of The Star’s Respective Film
Here is how they stand as of 05-Feb-2019.

So clearly SRK is in a dire need of some 300cr blockbusters if he needs to have any standing in terms of box-office returns as compared to Salman and Aamir. Even Akshay and Ajay are competing for the 3rd spot now with Ranveer Singh trailing close. Clearly, SRK’s stardom is on the wane but it has more to do with the choice of his films rather than his acting chops.
SRK is putting more effort into every film (ever since Happy New Year(2014) tanked despite a humongous opening day) . But even if we look past the box-office collections, SRK has not been able to deliver critical successes either. He ventured into the masala zone with Rohit Shetty's Chennai Express(2013) which is the highest domestic grossing movie of his career. But Dilwale (2015) was mediocre at best.
Raees(2017) tried to be commercial potboiler while being inspired from real events but eventually turned to be neither. The collections were decent but then there was a disaster in Jab Harry met Sejal (2017). His experiments like Fan (2016) and Zero (2018) have failed too.
Ever since Ra.One(2011) bombed it has been a slump for King Khan. My last good memories of an SRK movie is Don 2 that came out way back in 2011.As an SRK fan, I loved Zero a lot and strongly feel it didn’t get its due credit from the box-office.
It’s high time SRK delivers a blockbuster. With Jingoism selling like hot cakes, hopefully, ‘Saare Jahan Se Acha’ will finally do the trick for him.

What do you think of the 2019 Oscars nominations announced?

What. The. Hell. While I didn’t watch every single film of 2018 (sadly missing out on stuff like  First Reformed ,  Roma , and  Isle of Dogs ), looking at that Oscar nominee list felt like a stab in the heart, made even worse by the fact that it was the first thing that I saw when I woke up. While I never really cared about the Oscars before, this is the first time where I’m really pissed. There are so many movies that deserve recognition for that talent and quality that hasn’t been seen in the entertainment industry in a long time (or perhaps never), so many films whose lack of presence at this year’s Awards Ceremony pissed so many people off. Hereditary . First Reformed . Eighth Grade . First Man . While I only saw one of the above movies mentioned (that being  Hereditary ), I completely understand the pain and frustration that everyone else that saws those movies is feeling right now. Hell, I felt this same experience when the Academy didn’...

Ranbir Kapoor and Mahira Khan smoking case Last year, pictures of Ranbir Kapoor and Mahira Khan sharing a smoke in New York took the internet by storm. Mahira was relentlessly trolled for several reasons, from smoking to wearing a backless dress, and eventually had to apologise. On a television show, Mahira talked about the time the pictures were leaked online and said, "That was the first time in my entire career that I was caught up in a so-called controversy and it was strange because there were so many things in that. One, obviously you feel violated, you are in a personal down time moment and someone has just photographed you. "Two, obviously there was an uproar, because here I was, someone who is extremely loved in Pakistan, and they sort of keep me up on this pedestal you know, they treat me with a lot of love and a lot of respect. And there are certain things I didn't realise that they don't want to see me do." Mahira also said that it was ...
