It’s no secret now that Shah Rukh Khan is going through a career low, atleast as far as the domestic box office collections of his films are concerned. He’s still bigger than most, but not quite upto the very high standards that he had consistently maintained for the first 20 years of his career.
‘Dilwale’, which was touted as the box office favourite last Christmas, failed to match the glorious run of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Bajirao Mastani’. Now, FAN isn’t performing upto expectations either.
It’s at this time that a section of the industry, mostly Shah Rukh Khan supporters, who believe Aditya Chopra should let go of the Eid date and give it to the man who featured in some of his biggest blockbusters like ‘Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge’, ‘Mohabbatein’ and ‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’. Shah Rukh was also the lead star in every Yash Chopra directed film since Darr in 1993.
While it cannot be denied that Adi is one of the most talented directors in the industry, it’s Shah Rukh’s charisma that made DDLJ the iconic film that it has now become. With a lesser actor, the impact of a film like DDLJ would have been far less. Some believe, SRK’s contribution to the YRF banner is huge and it’s his films that have made the banner what it is today.
For the trade, the choice is unanimous. They all want ‘Sultan’. But a section of the industry believe Aditya Chopra owes a lot to Shah Rukh and the best way to repay would be by pushing ‘Sultan’ to a later date. More so since it was ‘Raees’ that was first announced for Eid.
I still believe if clash happened, then Sultan might get bigger opening, but I bank on Raees to win on longer run.
Wooow adi congrats. I used to think Adi and Karan were srk’s best friends but I was wrong. K Sultan will b a blockbuster n raees may struggle. Adi n YRF will make profit but will lose the most valuable thing which is friendship. But its good.Thanks Adi hop sultan b blockbuster. Sorry but money z temporary when compared to friendship.
Srk I still love u.It wasn’t ur blockbuster that made me your fan it was ur acting.So I don’t care about collection. I won’t stop being ur fan coz of a flop.N Inshaalah every thing will fall in place just choose good scripts. N please don’t release raees on other date especially diwali.Ajay is planning to release his dream project so it won’t b fare.N it will also b selfish to tell kjo to postpone adhm 4 the sake of raees.
If raees flops well n fine but do not postpone. N also Eros is as might as yrf so don’t worry about screen count
Thank god The Legend Yash Chopra is not alive today to read these kind of articles.
Srk made yrf…!.ohh man are you fool..?
Yrf was founded my Yash Chopra in 1970 when Srk was just 5 years child.
Before DDLJ yrf given huge Blockbusters & evergreen movies like Deewar & many more….its hard to post that huge list here…
But Srk’s hole career is surrounded around Darr,DDLJ,DPH,Mohabbate,Veer Zara & RNBDJ.
Outside this he has just few films to tell.
So its really funny that someone like indicine publish such a childish article…
What will happen in Sultan vs Raees is not in our hand.
Adi Chopra might do something for save his friends going down career… but its just for friendship…& not by cheap thinking that Srk made yrf…!
My humble request to Indicine:—
Please remove this childish article asap.
Because what yrf is today is just due to hard work of that great man Yash Chopra…who given 52 years of his life to this industry…
Yashi please forgive us for such kind of foolish things….
Its really sad that a legends 52 years dedication is ignored & his banners height is measured & even replaced by 4-5 films of some actor who is standing in this industry just due Mr.Yash Chopra itself…
Really sad moment this is…?
@devil : Your idol is just an actor. Forget calling him superstar he is not even a star I mean star kehlaane ke layaq bhi nahi raha !!!!!!!!!
@indicine
R u financially supported by srm or his PR team??
Lol
Just asking :-p
If so called king of clashes had averted those clashes by showing friendship, humility & humble nature then it could have come back to him and someone surely would have helped him. He was floating in success & his fans were on cloud 9 but now looks like rengtey huwe keede !!!!!!!!
This post is only dedicated towards arrogance, ego and the people who were blindly hating other actors in love of their idol. You may get name, fame, money, titles but in long term you will ultimately lose the trust & respect. Always be true to yourself n others. Most importantly be humble towards others while you are at peak of success !!!!!!!! If you keep self proclaiming yourself with greatness you will be shown your real place !!!!!!!!
LMAO reading some of the comments where SRK fans are saying SRK made Aditya Chopra and YRF what they are today..I understand after Fan debacle, many will lose their minds.. YRF existed long before SRK was even born…hahahahah in fact whatever SRK is today is only because of YRF and Dharma Productions.. Most his blockbusters are under these two banners, rest are hits, average and flops..
@ sweet heart- i always says good things about rnbdj another srk yrf movie so no question to like or dislike any movie because of srk. i found concept of rnbdj is great and ddlj was bad that’s why i said.
lol… unofficially Sultan was scheduled to release on Eid but Dirty game played by Ritesh n Farhan (including Srk) and announced Raees on Eid (they knew that sultan will arrive on eid but then also they announced, bcz they knew sultan officially isn’t announced) so to show people that they announced first they (they include indicine too) r fooling people by saying “raees has been officially announced first”.
@indicine when salman go to bad phase srk never post his movie on diwali. Then why postponed his movie. Reply on this.
With due respect to everyone, indicine do u remember wat Srk said in fan ?” Maine zindagi mein sab kuch apne dum par kiya hain .I know everyone in the industry is against Srk now but one day the whole trade will run after Srk.mark my words.I hv 200% faith in Srk.he is a champion
And indicine u r my favourite site but the way u r mocking at Srk is not done.sensationalising his failure will not affect his popularity a bit.we are with him even if he fails repeatedly
I am not srk fan, but I would say that it’s only srk who dominates eid. he is the king of eid. salman might have released 7 or 8 movies on eid since 2009, but all of them failed to be ATG while srk released only one movie on eid and it became ATG despite facing 3 films back to back every next week, while for salman, all his films had 3 weeks free run and no competition still all of them failed to be ATG. so it’s evedent from this fact that eid only belongs to one and only srk. srk is ruler of eid. period.
King of Eid- SRK
King of Diwali- SRK
King of Christmas- AAMIR.
Sultan is hott in trade…
Is on schedule….
Watevr posters stills teaser first looks etc hv bn released…people hv gvn a thumbs up….
Public waits for eid to watch salman on big screen
So why shld it b postponed …dsnt mk sense…watvr d equation bw adi and srk…and wtevr d career position currently of srk…..
If i can b blunt if u reverse d position…and ask urself wld srk wld hv moved his movie if salman and/or yrf were gving movz whch wr underperforming…… I think evryone cn ans dat…its a bigg No…so go as per schedule Sultan
Why is everyone expecting Salman to postpone SULTAN? When Salman was going through bad phase, SRK chosed to clash with him instead of postponing his movies…here were you when Don clashed with Jaaneman? Saawarya vs Om shaanti Om??? Why didnt you people tell SRK to back off at that time?
His ego and arrogance is eating up his career thats y no one is willing to help him now…
SULTAN will release on EID itself…This time Raees will back off!!!
@yuvrag
ok bro then it’s your choice but in this case you are among few who genuinely disliked that movie.
Many Salman fans say that DDLJ was a bad movie just because of their hatred towards SRK.I thought of same about you that’s why I said that
Hi Saksham,
Thank you for excellently elaborating the details. Rajesh Khanna and Amitji were not dependent on YRF like SRK was and he himself accepted this in an award function. Salman Khan made his own way by working in different films and various unknown Directors, he is the real King and still very down to earth. All human beings should stay away from arrogance.
Baqi Picture Abu baqi ha mere dost-Still SRK has many good directors in pipeline.1 Big grosser and then this trade who wants sultan now will again run behind him
What really makes me laugh is the fact that SRK has done horrible things to other stars when it comes to release date now when the table has turn you people are begging for him. Remember what he did to OUATIM? ! Or how they try to bullie ajay with Son of sadar? He behaves like he is the only one that should win. People will support him appear in his films and do cameo’s but when it’ s with him it is a big NO
I think so called king khan should retire before he lost his fame. I hope he doesn’t become like vivek oberoi. On a serious note, I think king khan should try sex comedy movie.
poor srk has no option left. now it’s a situation like do or die. either face a clash or release it on non holiday. oops, we just saw your power on non holiday with fan. so sad!!!!!
What let go off??? Is it a choclate ??? If fan would have released on Eid , would the fate b different?? Have u seen Raees, that u r confident about the film. It’s made by director with no commercial success.
Now pls srk fans don’t say the same thing for Raees that u said for Fan that this will be the best movie of the century and stuff.
Why stop at Adi giving a charitable hand to King… Why not also ask Santa Clause to only give the lucrative Xmas period to King only…!
Even more why not make the Ramadan month a holiday month so King can get 30 holidays which will help him cross 100cr…!
YRF will lose money with Pankha but shameless srkians will ignore that n demand YRF postpone a sure shot mega money maker movie like SULTAN n instead allow Raeesa Bhabhi to release instead…! Jeez if the second rochest actor in the world needs charity then whos gonna look after the small stars like arjuna kapoor n joker boy…?
It’s Bhai not aditya who made Eid a lucrative period. WTH aditya is to give Eid slot to any chongu mongu???
I need to find my small violin as I feel sad for struggling Global Superstar King so I’ll be back in a minute…!
This feels like dejavu coz I remember King begging Jeetu ji behind Ektas back to get a solo release in 2013 for Lungi Express…!
When it comes to begging Our King heads the line
Isn’t he the “duniya ka sabse bada superstar”??? Then why doesn’t he make Bakrid or Gandhi jayanti a lucrative period???
