Difference between Shah Rukh Khan and Amitabh Bachchan Part 2

By Mustafa

The following differences are just very hard to ignore:

1. Amitabh Bachchan in his entire career had no Solo All Time Blockbuster and Blockbuster. Shah Rukh Khan has 2 Solo All Time Blockbuster Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge and Kuch Kuch Hota Hai.

2. With arrival of Khan’s overseas market opened up first with Salman Khan Hum Aapke Hain Kaun and then with Shah Rukh Khan Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge. Amitabh Bachchan success was just restricted to India and now that Khan’s has done so much in Overseas that Amitabh Bachchan is also getting recognition.

3. Amitabh Bachchan was every time overshadowed when He had same level of power performer acting with Him, example Shakti where Dilip Kumar overshadowed Him, Kaala Pathar where He was no match for Shatrughan Singha or Mohabbatein where He had bigger role than Shah Rukh Khan still was completely overshadowed by Shah Rukh Khan, etc. Whereas with Shah Rukh Khan it was vice versa example Mohabbatein where He gave His Career one of the finest performance against Amitabh Bachchan, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham were He completely ate Hrithik Roshan in the scenes which they had together, Hum Tumhare Hain Sanam where Salman Khan couldn’t match Him at all, etc.

4. In era of Amitabh Bachchan there was brilliant writers like Salim – Javed, brilliant directors like Yash Chopra, Hrikesh Mukherjee, etc still he was unable to deliver Solo Blockbuster and All Time Blockbuster. Whereas in era of Shah Rukh Khan there was shortage of good writers and directors still Shah Rukh Khan gave Solo All Time Blockbusters with Debut Directors Aditya Chopra Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge and Karan Johar Kuch Kuch Hota Hai.

5. Amitabh Bachchan had an affair with Rekha and never had a clean image. Whereas Shah Rukh Khan has clean image and had no affair with any heroine.
6. Amitabh Bachchan’s controversial love story, Silsila floped so badly that it had less than 30% audience in the halls on its opening day (most halls had less than 10% audience). Whereas Shah Rukh Khan’s controversial love story, Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna, broke opening week’s record and has third best opening of Indian Cinema History.

I can go on, but what is the point. The difference is very apparent in the quality of their achievements. There is a reason why Shah Rukh Khan is on top of everyone’s go to list. There is a reason why people love Him more than Amitabh Bachchan.

  1. Agree With Musatafa on few points Gud article but Again u ll have same comments

    Big B never had A hit like DDLj ,

    Its better we dont get it there(rekha-affair) but in case of srk it really helped him to connect with middle class audience bcoz of his clean image n all , im not saying that its against Big B it wud be foolish on my part if agree on that , But Srk had advantage

    Talking Abt silsila .. I thnk it was a gud movie,i rate that movie ahead of Kank , But I thnk Character of Dev was difficult N Srk did a great job

    U cant blame writters or credit the writters completely yes they do have a part , but still the actor needs to carry his responsbility n Big B n Srk both Did dat , u SHudnot blame lack of gud writerz

  2. Thanks for appreciating my Work. As for Sisila I don’t remember the Movie much, so I cann’t comment on it.

    Yes you are also write that we will get same comments, but we have to take action. When Amitabh Bachchan Fans write Against Shah Rukh Khan, we also have to do the same thing. Gandhigari can not be applied here.

  3. It is not fair comparing Sharukh and Amitabh , they belong to different generations , one is 40 plus and other is 60 plus .Compare Devanand and Dilip kumar , compare Amitabh with Rajesh khanna , even Dharmendra etc , compare SRK with Aamir , salman , Ajay ,Akshay etc or even Hrithik (if u can compare SRK with Amitabh) or wait till SRK gets 60 plus then compare

  4. Going by this Statement “anyone would laught to read that amnitabh didnt have any solo blockbuster in his life………its hilarious to read your posts……Like i tld you a ATBB depends on many factors and just presence of any actor cant make any movie ATBB…..if thas the case then PBDHH should be ATBB just becoz SRK is there in the film……Just becoz Salman and SRK have tow ATBB it doent make them superor to BiGb…….”

    Then I will say you gave a long list of Amitabh Bachchan Hits in different Generes etc, so it means it was a Combination of many factors it was not Amitabh Bachchan Hits only. As for PBDHH and DDLJ both are different Movies and there Gneres are completely different.

    For this Statement “In 70s and 80s there was not that much so called south asian population (indian, pakistani, middle eastern) in UK and USA which you guys proudly say “overseas market” …….Hence there was risk for producers and directors to relase their films in overseas market……”

    You are completely wrong there was this market at that time as well, but Khan’s Exploited it and Amitabh Bachchan couldn’t. Example Awara was a huge Hit in Overseas and that to it was a Black and White Movie.

    For this Statment “saying tha dilp overshadowed amitabh in shakti itself hilarious…….anyone who has seen performance of amitabh will laugh at guys like mustafa……in moabbatein even though his role was limited and negative but the moment he came on the screen the whole adience got electrified……saying that SRK overshadowed amtabh in acting is the biggest joke…….yes SRK role was better than amitabh but that doent make SRK better actor than him……….Look like mustafa didnt watch Kaala pathar and talking like a child……i can only pity on him…….”

    People of that era say this Dilip Kumar Overshadowed Amitabh Bachchan, if you don’t believe it, it is Hilarious. There was full articles on this matter shall I send you copies of that. As for Mohabbatein you are overhyping nothing else. When Amitabh Bachchan came on screen nothing happened, this thing happened with Shah Rukh Khan. As for Kaala Pathar again shall I send you copies.

    For this Statement “In the era of amitah bachchan, there was media ban on amitabh for 15 years…….amitabh never used media hype to promote his films and still his films got huge successs……..he never used star power to promote his films…..Amitabh never worked only for boxoffice but still his mere presence was suffcient to make a move hit for example Andha kanoon where he had only special appearance…….”

    Fact is that He never had Solo All Time Blockbuster and Blockbuster and Jounals Prove that. And going by your saying a Presence of Amitabh Bachchan cann’t make a Andha Kanoon a Success it is a team effort, their are many Factors. If Presence of Amitabh Bachchan made Andha Kanoon a Success, then why Silsila and Bemisaal, etc were Failures.

    For this Statement “Miustafa says that Silsila had 30% aundiece in opening week which is a “WHITE LIE”…….There is no statistics available anywher in this world to proove this…….”

    Shall I send you copies. The Film was a major disaster of that year 1981.

    Mr Nitin, PLZ COME UP WITH SOME MORE LIES……..I ENJOY EXPOSING YOU.

  5. @ beena i thnk its clear

    if u compare Srk V/s SAlman/HR/AAMir

    or

    Big B V/s Dharam/rajesh/.etc

    Srk n Big b are in lead , i thnk no one can argue that Srk or big b were not no 1 in their times

  6. But Nitin is disagreeing. According to Him Shah Rukh Khan is nothing.

  7. For Nitin it is like what He has said it is Final same like Anu Malik in Indian Idol. While others for Nitin are Biased. When He has right to say anything then others have right to say as well. For Him Shah Rukh Khan doesn’t exist but for Billions+ He exists and that is Fact, but does not accept it. Now He will say we are not rational.

  8. Nitin, That is a baseless allegation. That post(# 19) has come from you as I can check the IP’s and log times. Also, no one is deleting your posts or editing them. You have been messing with many different names and sometimes it doesn’t even get published and you leave. Please stop playing games and get back to discussion. Thanks.

  9. filmikhabar thats nothing new from nitin , whenever he cannot comment he willl either cut paste same and same thing or accussed of some 6 ids to be of same person . i have seen him doing same at indiafm forum.

  10. filmikhabar i know this guy he will not believe that he has written that comment even if his ip matches with that one.

  17. Hi everyone

    the high court has lifted
    the stay on 2005 national awards

    and Big B has got
    the best actor award

    It is a tight slap on
    the face of
    right people
    who were fighting for truth
    is this news

    i am very sad

  18. In the end Amitabh Bachchan Bribed all the people and got Award.

  19. Instead of Bribing here Amitabh Bachchan should have tried to save Sanjay Dutt. So sad that Award was more important than His mentor son.

  20. I thnk Big b did many movies like

    coolie
    jadugar
    loofer

    etc

    so wat u got to say

  21. hello
    fekhiye ye bat to pakki hai k amitabh bachchan is the greatest actor
    not only india but in the world
    ok
    remember it

  22. Hello! just don’t bother about the comments of so called mustafa, shankhan or soma datta bla bla bla. they r just blind supporters of srk. they have become so blind in their support that they can’t judge what is true and what is flase. the whole world knows who is superstar of the millenium conductted by bbc it is amitabh bachchan and srk can never become the one as for the next millenium he has to take some thousand births. next, amitabh is the first indian/asian actor to be immortalized at london’s wax museum so srk is always the no. 2 or 3, here also he is loser to amitabh. next amitabh is the first indian actor (here i am not talking about directors or producers or singers)to be awarded the highest civilian award of france which srk can never be. even if he is awarded the same he will be 2nd to amitabh. next amitabh is the only asin to participate in the bbc wogan chat show here also srk loses to him. amitabh is the 1s indian actor who has been awarded doctorate by two british universities here also srk loses as even now if the same universities going to award him doctorate then he will be 2nd to amitabh only. then in bbc’s survey of 100 most popular actors of all time amitabh was on the 92nd place which was full of american actors and srk was nowhere there.

    Somebody said that amitabh has bribed and got all the awards then pls. find below the list of international awards which amitabh has won and this bore testimony to the fact how great amitabh is. All the bull shit these people r writing are jealous of amitabh. They call amitabh old and say he should retire then one day u all will also become old and ur so called srk will also become old then nobody will care for him. however, pls. read the below mentioned matter and u decide urself who is great and i am leaving it to u.

    In July of 1999, Amitabh Bachchan was named the “Greatest Star of the Millennium” by BBC online poll where he defeated many Hollywood legends such as Alec Guinness, Marlon Brando, Sir Laurence Olivier and Charlie Chaplin.
    In June of 2000, he became the first living Asian to have been immortalised in wax at London’s prestigious Madame Tussauds wax museum.
    He was conferred with a special commendation by the Government of South Africa for his continued support for and his special affinity for the people of South Africa.
    In March of 2001, he was ranked as the “Most powerful actor in Bollywood” by the American publishing and media company Forbes.
    On September 10, 2001 he was awarded the “Star of the Century” award at the Alexandria International Film Festival. Egyptian Minister of Culture Farouk Hosni presented Bachchan with the award in recognition of his contribution to international cinema.
    An Bachchan retrospective was held at the prestigious 5th Deauville Panasia Film Festival, on 14-16 March 2003.
    In a poll conducted by Britain’s television channel Channel 4 in May of 2003, he was voted 92nd in the list of “the Greatest 100 Film Stars of All time”. Bachchan was the only Indian actor on the list, which is dominated by American and British actors.
    In 2003, he has been named goodwill ambassador for the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF).
    In 2003, he was honoured at the Hong Kong International Film Festival.
    In October of 2003, he was honoured at the Marrakech International Film Festival.
    In December of 2004, he became the first Asian and only the fifth ambassador for the Nelson Mandela Foundation.
    In April of 2005, The Walter Reade Theater of Lincoln Centre in New York honoured Amitabh Bachchan with a special tribute, retrospective–titled “Amitabh Bachchan: The Biggest Film Star in the World”. The tribute also included “An Evening with Amitabh Bachchan”, a live appearance by Bachchan hosted at the Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall.
    In September of 2005, The Tropentheatre in Amsterdam honoured Bachchan with a special tribute. The tribute also included a live appearance and an interview with Amitabh Bachchan.
    In 2005, he has lent his voice to the Oscar-winning French documentary March of the Penguins, directed by Luc Jacquet.
    British newspaper The Sunday Times has described Bachchan as “Tom Cruise, Sean Connery and Clint Eastwood rolled into one. Certainly there is no British actor alive who shares his fame” the British newspaper said on December 4, 2006.
    He is the only Asian to feature on the BBC’s chat-show, Wogan.
    He was given an honourary degree of Doctor of Arts by De Montfort University in Leicester, UK on July 19, 2006 in recognition of his distinguished career in films. He is the first Indian star to be feted by a foreign university.
    He will be honoured along with actors and directors from Hollywood at an International Film Festival in Rabat, Morocco.
    He has become the first Indian celebrity and the sixth in the world to be presented with a special certificate for his support to the International Finance Facility for Immunisation (IFFI) in London.
    On January 27, 2007 he has been awarded France’s highest civilian honour, Legion of Honour for his “exceptional career in the world of cinema and beyond”. Describing Bachchan as a “towering Indian personality” and the “number-one actor of Indian cinema”, Ambassador Girard said the award “brings Bachchan into the international legion of world’s greatest artistes”.
    An unauthorised biography of Bachchan was released in the British capital by the English author who described the Bollywood mega superstar as the “Uber-God” of Indian cinema. He is India’s “Most legendary Film Star” - a cross between Clint Eastwood, Al Pacino, Elvis Presley and with more than a hint of John Travolta,” Jessica wrote in the book, her maiden venture.

  24. my opinion is shah rukh khan is the next superstar is 100% true. and shah rukh khan remains his glory and responses.

  25. Big b was Superstar of before 90s
    Now SRK is Superstar

  26. Dear Freinds,

    There cannot be comparision between AB & SRK.
    AB has ruled the Indian Film insdustry since last 35 years & there was comparision with actors like Satrughan Sinha, Shashi kapoor, Vinod Khanna of his time and all of them got famous in those particualr films because they worked with AB.

    Just advised to see films like Deewar, Sholay, Don, Mukkadder ka Sikander, trishul, Laawaris, sharabi, Satte pe satta & compare them with SRK in Badshah, DDLJ, KKHH,Chak de india etc. Except Chak de india & DDLJ none of the Films can be compared.

    In fact today we are comparing 65 year old icon with 45 year old SRK and that is big respect for for AB.

    who are the other actors, not even Deelip kumar, who was compared at age of 65 with other new actors of this generation.

    Deewar ,BLACK & Sholay cannot be repeated, but don`t you think films like DDLJ can be made again???

    No doubt SRK was brilliant in DDLJ and Chak De India, but there is no comparsion in acting of SRK with AB>

  27. james

    my dear u r living in 70’s come back to 2007 and see who is the real superstar.u said deewar,black,sholay cannot be made again,yes stupid films like those can never be made.actually no one like to see these films again thats why they will never be made.

  28. pseudo intelligent amir
    why don’t u remake DDLJ and Chak ke…..even they cannot be remade…..u live in 2007 but still u r blind….see the world outside this forum…..DDLJ has only two things songs and kajol…..otherwise salman is better actor than CKD for Maine pyar kiya and hum apke hai kaun.
    talking about real superstar…..even a 65 year old person with 4-5 flops and one hit is a mega superstar,icon, emperor. don’t bring ur local king everywhere….compare him with rajpal yadav and …..hmmmmm….haan…..laxmikant pyarelal….CKD is a bigtime hammer…he hams wherever he gets a chance.

  29. dheerendre

    i think u have a close connection with that idiot bachan.o i see….i guess u have to praise ur illegal parents and thats what u r doing.by the way whats ur full name dheerendre..wait…i will tell u…DHEERENDRE BACHAN

    BY THE WAY EVEN RAJPAL YADAV IS BETTER THAN BLOODY BACHAN.O IAM SORRY I WILL NOT MAKE FUN OF UR ILLEGAL FATHER

  30. dheerendre

    by the way please tell ur…….that stop making pathetic movies and work in srk house.a good job will be to polish srk shoes,srk will give more than what his films r earning.and haan he has to give interview before he gets this job.since he is not qualified enough to do this job also,u can request srk by touching his feet saying”mere papa ko job dedo baadshah”

  31. MUSTAFA
    IT SEEMS U R ONLY YESTERDAY BORN…..DO SOME RESEARCH BEFORE WRITING ANYTHING….WE ARE TALKING ABOUT LAST 40 YEARS NOT 4 YEARS
    THAT SUMS IT ALL

  32. @aLL SRK FANS..
    Give some statistical data which can beat Bachchans glory. Instead of being subjective take it to objective and see who is better??
    Well whwnever ppl talk abt Blockbuster i force to thing how exactly r they rated??Y DDLJ or KKHH t blockbusters?/whats special they hv??

  33. See Sandy, Amitabh Bachchan had his time, Shahrukh is having his time, someone else will have his/her time. Time changes, world changes, either you can accept the change or perish. Some 20-30 years ago Amitabh might have ruled the roosters, now its Shahrukh’s turn.

    You like it or not, it is clearly visible by the quality of movies both are getting.

  34. Ms. Sandy, plz return back to NG Jhoot Bolo forum, there are already a large number of fools (excluding me ;) ) here so there’s no need of yours.

  35. Ms sandy welcome to filmikhabar from naachgaana jhuton ka forum..par aapka jhoot yahan nahi chalega

  36. I totally agreeed with sandy.
    If blog names filmi khabar then it should be filmi khabar not srk khabar.

    well how much one criticise NG but the forum is alive one.

    Just copy and paste the article from other sites donot make blog.
    I am visting it after so namy days,yesterday I also found the same thing and today also the same.

  37. Point 1; blockbusters:
    I donot know how one is stupid enough to compare a 35 years old market with todays market.market size, money with poeple every thing is changed. Now there is block busters in every year.Even Akshay Kumar has two block busters this year.So does many others.D2 has made 35 cr in a week.
    write any two diologue of actor which are as famous as:
    a)”Jao us aadmi ko laker aao…”
    b) ” Kabhi kabhi mere dil mein khyal aata yeh zindgi teri narm ….”
    c)”Rishte mein tau hum tumhare baap…” so many others…
    well i just rembering kkkkkkkkkk iran

    2)Overseas:
    Same concept of market.
    Nothing else to say.

    3)Overshadows:
    May be you are watching some other movies.
    contrast is sholay: main hero heroine are Dharmendra and hema but still sholay is mostly remembered amitabh’s movie.
    deewar, trishul,kabhi-kabhi ,amar akbar anthony, namak haram and so on all are multistarrer but all are just amitabh’s movies in people mind.

    4) Again same blockbuster (man whhat the need to make it another point)

    5) Personal Life:
    well all knows SRK has an affair with whom.I donot want to quote Anil Kapoor here.

    6)Silsila is still remembered dude.After 25 years even a kid knows dekha ek khwab tau or rang barse.
    well KANK :even after one year people except srk fan will forget what KANK is

  38. dheerendre

    i think u have a close connection with that idiot bachan.o i see….i guess u have to praise ur illegal parents and thats what u r doing.by the way whats ur full name dheerendre..wait…i will tell u…DHEERENDRE BACHAN

    BY THE WAY EVEN RAJPAL YADAV IS BETTER THAN BLOODY BACHAN.O IAM SORRY I WILL NOT MAKE FUN OF UR ILLEGAL FATHER

  39. dheerendre

    by the way please tell ur…….that stop making pathetic movies and work in srk house.a good job will be to polish srk shoes,srk will give more than what his films r earning.and haan he has to give interview before he gets this job.since he is not qualified enough to do this job also,u can request srk by touching his feet saying”mere papa ko job dedo baadshah”

  40. well its a never ending foolish debate.Both the actors are legends.Where amitabh ruled from 73-87 simalrly SRK is ruling from 93 till date.

  41. “”"”rudaresh alias dheerendra alias satyam of ng jhoot forum says : ….I donot know how one is stupid enough to compare a 35 years old market with todays market.market size, money with poeple every thing is changed. Now there is block busters in every year.Even Akshay Kumar has two block busters this year.So does many others.D2 has made 35 cr in a week……”"”"”

    Do not comment just to grab attention.Think before u speak up.

    Akshay Kumar has no blockbuster this year…his film “namastey london” is a hit and “heyy baaby” is a superhit.

    All films of yesteryears have been adjusted for inflation using ticket price inflation.Blockbuster/superhit/hit are determined on the basis of distributor shares.

    The recent films (1992-2007) which make it to the top all-time-20 are only 7 …..HAHK(4),DDLJ(5),GADAR(6),DHOOM2(8),RAJA HINDUSTANI(12),KKHH(15),& LAGE RAHO MUNNABHAI(17).

    This is self-explanatory.

  42. grow up atleast i know what i am….and i am dheerendra….ur perception is that everyone is ckd fan and thats when many goes against chak ke u thinnk they r one……i am happy bcoz of ur frustration…..do whatever u feel like……..i am there.

  43. Dheerendra Shut Up!

    Give me one Chak De! India of Amitabh Bachchan and Amitabh Bachchan doesn’t have it. But for Black Shah Rukh Khan has Swades.

    Give me one Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge of Amitabh Bachchan and Amitabh Bachchan doesn’t have it. But for Muqaddar Ka Sikander Shah Rukh Khan has Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa.

    Give me one Devdas of Amitabh Bachchan and Amitabh Bachchan doesn’t have it. But for Namak Halal Shah Rukh Khan has Yes Boss.

    Give me one Darr of Amitabh Bachchan and Amitabh Bachchan doesn’t have it. But for Agnee Path Shah Rukh Khan has Veer - Zaara.

    Give me one Don - The Chase Begins Again of Amitabh Bachchan and Yes Amitabh Bachchan has it His Own Don, but the best part was ‘The End’.

    First bring the answers then argue with us.

    Namaste

  44. Mustafa ..Well Sed .

    Give me one CDI …etc

    I thnk None can Give that list of great movies ….

  45. K K K K Kiran,

    Big B was in his 60s when he received most those honours you mentioned and SRK was in his late 30s at that time!!! Do you understand about setting a standard (based on time-lines) for this comparison??… Anyway, wait till King Khan is 60+ and you’ll know what he’s capable of…

  46. To all Shahrukh detractors,

    Show me a solo Amitabh blockbuster (taking all his lifetime into account) which has managed a revenue of Rs.75+ crores (that’s the revenue Chak De India has recorded and is still going strong. Once the DVD/VCD sales are taken into account, it’ll be even bigger.).
    Shahrukh’s latest solo outing ‘Om Shanti Om’ whose distribution rights have been bought by EROS for Rs.74 crores. That’s the highest any film in indian history has received for distribution rights.
    And folks, Shahrukh is still just 41 where as Amitabh is already 65.

    Bottomline: Amitabh no doubt a great actor but Shahrukh is even greater

  47. hi all,i am rozario from Rio-de-janero,brazil.i am of indian origin,my great great grand parents came from india to work in the sugar fields in Guyana(south america). my indian friend gave me the name of this website.i was intrested to comment on this topic,simply for one reason that i encountered,during the visit of Mr.yash chopra to brazil.there was a question from the indian community in Rio, to Mr.yash chopra.”if shahrukhkhan was to make his entry in films when amitabh bachchan had made,i.e in the early 70’s,and amitabh to make his entry into films in the mid 90’s,when shahrukhkhan came.who do Mr.yash chopra think would have succeeded more in star status.yash chopra’s reply was Mr.amitabh bachchan wuold have made it big in both the era’s,while shahrukh would have struggled in the mid 70’s.i think that itself prove everything,who has the greater star status and mind u amitabh’s movies are dubbed and shown in localtv station’s here in south america & the caribean.and talking about overseas market,india had a big mass migration to u.s,uk and other countries,only in the mid 90’s.Mr amitabh was almost 50 by that time.to tell u the truth,i am not an amitabh bachcan fan or a shahrukh fan,i just happen to visit this site as a guest,who have interest in indian movies.GOD BLESS!!

  48. Rozario,

    Once again, you are one of those persons making some naive conclusions like most of them on this site. You are taking someone’s statement in some context and trying to generalize it!!

    Especially, if you are talking from an overseas audience perspective, there’s absolutely no doubt that SRK rules! So, you’ve committed a blunder dear not a mere mistake by trying to project Amitabh as the Bollywood man who rules overseas.

    Plus, i’m surprised to hear Yash Chopra making a comment about Shahrukh having to struggle in the 70s to do what Amitabh did - most of what Amitabh did then was a portrayal of angry young man or a romantic man which is no big deal for SRK to enact!! In fact, he does it better. Only one film where i think Shahrukh (at his present age) cannot match Amitabh’s performance is in the movie Black. However, may be SRK can do it when he’s a bit more older.
    And Shahrukh today is Yash Chopra productions’ biggest revenue grosser!!

    To put it in a simple manner, Amitabh never had a big solo hit(s) neither he has box office numbers today to beat SRK. Matter closed. Verdict delivered!! :)

  49. what is sharukh khan!
    he may be luckiest actor in film word.But not best actor.Not even he knows acting.always doing over acting.

    from first day he is working with best blood in films like yash chopra,aditya chopra,shubash ghai,sanjay leela bhansali,karan johar.So as he got chance working with best film makers in industry,so he is claming to be best.any ordinary looking,doing over acting guy can be star if he works with best film makers ,shahrukh khan is best example.

  50. If I remember correctly then first time he worked was for Hema Malini, Dil Ashna hai. Then it was Raju Ban gaya Gentleman, with Aziz Mirza, who didn’t do anything before RBGG. Then it was Deewana by Raj Kanwar, again Mr. Kanwar not before or after is anywhere on the circuit.

    It was Chamatkar with some Rajiv Mehra….. I don’t know who he is.
    King Uncle was his first big director movie with Rakesh Roshan, again he played 3rd fiddle, first was that sweet girl, then Jackie Shroff, then Shahrukh….. that too for some 30 minutes in entire movie.

    Then it was Kundan Shah’s Kabhi Haan Kabhi Na, a superb movie, but the director was again not acclaimed at least at that time, or say even now.

    Then again kinda guest appearance in Maya, with Ketan Mehta.

    Then he got his biggie Baazigar with Abbas Mastan. And after Baazigar it was Darr when he entered YRF gang.

    Now I have told you how many???? 7-8 movies where Shahrukh either acted with virtually unknowns or played third fiddle in movies, infact even in Darr he was third fiddle, he didn’t have too much of role, it was predominantly a Juhi Sunny movie, but Shahrukh nullified all of them with his spell bounding performance, think about it Darr was released in 1993, and still people remember his kkkkkkk Kiran. How many actors have immortalised their roles like Shahrukh did????

    now whether you accept it or not, Shahrukh made directors big time and then people said he always worked with big time people. Shahrukh entered YRF gang with his hard work and dedication and talent, and stayed there with the same attributes, else so many actors came and went, YRF still give the best to Shahrukh, or may be whatever Shahrukh does comes out to be the best.

    With so many Saif’s Hrithiks Aamirs still whenever Yash Raj or Adi has to make make movie, they choose Shahrukh. And there already is a buzz that Adi is going to direct his next venture with Shahrukh. The situation is such that once Hrithik refused to work with YRF coz he said that whenever the role is important and is directed by Yash Raj or Adi they always pick Shahrukh.

    Now either you can be jealous and live in denial or say accept the truth and be humble.

  51. Mr. Raj,

    SRK did not work with these directors/producers you have mentioned like Yash chopra,Karan Johar from the very first day.

    He worked with Aziz Mirza in “Raju ban gaya gentleman”(1992),Raj kanwar in “Deewana”(1992),Rajiv mehra in “chamatkar”(1992),Kundan shah in “Kabhie haan kabhie naa”(1993) and Abbas Mastan in “Baazigar”(1993).

    By the time Darr or DDLJ happened, he was already a huge star.

  52. harry _mann
    isaid before and iam saying again that hrithik is just a rubbish actor.and d2 was only hit by aishwariya bipasha uday and abhishek
    only not hrithik
    what he has done in the movie
    he was looking like a joker
    you know joker
    joker hrithik is a joker

    you said in your one comment that in kofee with karan every body say that shahrukh khan is asuperstar not an actor
    you mention those names who hates shahrukh
    karan should ask
    kajol
    saif
    fardeen
    deepika
    arjun rampal
    salman
    akshay
    sunil shetty
    paresh rawal
    juhi chawla
    karishma
    if amrish puri would alive he would say srk
    ajay
    amir

    if you say that he is not an actor he is over reactor
    than listen his fan loves his over acting
    if you think not i
    ok

    he has the billions of fan who love his acting

    he is an actor to these billions peoples

    you said hrithik had given d2

    only one movie he had given block buster you are very happy with d2 and krish
    not because of him because of other cast
    priyanka bipashah abhishek and uday aishwaria
    not idiots like hrithik
    wait for his nextr movies
    srk movies you will go in shok
    you know shok

    you had said above that these people in kofee with karan said shahrukh khan is not an actor

    dont ask these peoples
    ask

    audiece
    not these nonsense people
    these peoples jeolous of srk and you to

  53. Kunal: very reasonable and logical answer to an illogical statement. Totally agree with u.

  54. To Raj:

    All the big directors work with Shahrukh because they know that he can deliver hits. Nobody is so selfless to choose to work with Shahrukh without any reason. All those big directors are selfish guys who want to make more and more hit films and so they choose Shahrukh.

    Look at Sharukh’s latest Chak de india. Didn’t he work with an unknown director, without any heroine, without romantic songs, without action scenes, without comedy, and with some new unknown girls? And the result is in front of you - Chak de is the biggest hit of 2007 so far when compared to amitabh’s 2007 flops like RGV ki aag and Nishabd.

    You are just a blind hater of Shahrukh and also jealous because of his success and popularity.

  55. anon

    great yaar………..keep it up…

  56. when you will see oso and khan you will go in comma
    and when you will in your sense you will agian go in comma after seeing srk success as an actor

  57. AssRGay is the most overrated actor…
    How do u define Alltime Blockbuster and blockbusters??
    PLz let me know.. ill answer u ppl to shut ur mouth

  58. east & west north & south shahrukh khan is the bestttttttttt. no match NO:1 in the universe

  59. A normal looking gay,always doing overacting still reached on top.yes he is s example,khuda maherwan to gadha pahalwan.

  60. Sandy,

    You need to take some classes in those topics where you have doubts before coming to debate things on the forum. How can you debate things when you don’t have a clue about what you are talking?? And sorry, we don’t have time for such people.

    Raj,

    As for ‘normal looking gay’, i’d like to see how you look like first. For a gay, everything will look gay-ish (if you look through a pink coloured lens, world will naturally appear pink!) :) And it’s a much bigger achievement to be very normal looking and yet become THE superstar (unlike SRK, most of other so-called stars are more or less conventionally good looking - Salman, Hrithik, Aamir, Akshay).
    Btw, talk about tangible stuff and not the intangible ones like being a gay etc. Looks like you have nothing else to contend. Have exhausted all that you had to say…

  61. Hello Everyone

    The only thing that amitabh can not beat is his AGE.

    Majority of hits by SRK and Amitabh are from the same directors, producers and writers. So the success of SRK and Amitabh is not only their but of the respective teams. So it will not be wrong to say that with increasing age, Amitabh can not do roles he was able to do few years back. Those roles are going to SRK now.

    As far as rivalry is concerned, this is media hype and both actors are gaining from it.

    VS

  62. @raj….
    I think u need to take class before me..
    if u cant answer then jus shut ur mouth.. srk is no where near BigB..
    srk can never achieve what BigB has done during his era..Let it be in number of hits or versatality.. every bollywood director know none can beat AB…
    There someone mentioned AB dint had any solo alltime blockbuster and blockbuster so i asked how u define them.. If its based on earninghs then BigB has 7 alltime blockbusters which hv earned 500%+over 90% of country..
    actually srk is jus overated nothing else..he has only 1 alltime BB (DDLJ) with 95 Crore earning(Inflation adjusted)

  63. srk king of all over actors

    peoples of 3.6 billions consider him as actor did you know how many zero in one billion

    haha
    love srkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

    the king

  64. Amitabh did not mature as an actor…always typecast as angry young man.

    He had used unscrupulous means for acquiring some prime spot in Pune.(dubiously declaring himself a farmer)

    he had gone to Tirupati Temple for giving huge sum of money and kilos of gold to appease the God along with Ash and Abhishekh before the pair’s wedding,when millions of indians are living below poverty line.

    Amitabh asked his daughter-in-law to be – Miss Aishwarya – to get marry with a “Shakun Tree” in some remote area of Himalaya to get away with the “Ashubh Chhaya of Mangal Graha” and have immediate “divorce” with that tree; so as to come out with “Shudha Roop” and then only free to marry with his “Ladla” Abhishek.How often he tries to lecture us against the menace of superstitions.

    It was shameful that Amitabh Bachchan felt that Uttar-Pradesh was a place worth living because there was no crime here, when hundreds of children went missing in Nithari and kidnapping and ransom became the order of the day.

  65. Rightly said Koushik. But telling these people such things is like ‘bhains ke aage been bajana”

  66. i think both amitabh and shahrukh are ass holes and their fans are unnecessarily wasting time comparing cow dung with shit

  67. Bingo Mast….. If you can’t differentiate between cow dung and shit (human), how on earth can you even dream of comprehending SRK.

    And Mast: Whichever of the two you’re covered with, you stink real bad.

  68. MAIN DIFFERENCE

    1) SRK relies on the media to hype his movies. AB in his heyday boycotted the media for 15 years and all his movies had bumper openings and were massive HITs. Can you imagine SRK without the media? it would be SRK WHO????

    2) AB has delivered 60 major grossers. At the age of 42 he had delivered 40 big grossers. SRK has only given 16 major grossers to date. source: ibosnetwork.com

    3) KBC with AB was a landmark moment for indiantelevison. KBC with SRK was a flop.

    4) AB was and is the ORGINAL DON, SRK is a COPYCAT DON.

    5) AB is a national ICON alongside LATA Managesker. SRK is just another actor.

  69. Agree with above comments

    I wrote last time as well..

    SRK>>> “Paise khilake jitane wala award”

    Amitrabh >> When he was in his 40′ , he has given his awrd to Sanjay datta for promoting..check 37th filmfare…

    and SRK is still counting his awards..like competions..

    he still need to learn how to act:))

    he is repeater and blue print…where as Amitabh is original

    dont waste your time..and space here.

    AMITABH..dont need any explaination.So amitabh group can just ignore SRK group comments…

    as like SRK ..they have to advertise ..he he he ..

    come on SRK guys……keep writing..

  70. Rizwan/ PKS or whoever you are: Enough of your crying guys. Go take a walk or go to the nearest loo if you have a stomach upset. Or ask your mummy for some milk if you’re hungry……. But pls don’t cry here……. We’re celebrating OSO here………

  71. hey rizawan,

    1.SRK is the biggest icon in india.
    2.The most popular actor in the world.Opening OSO proved that.
    3.Made KBC the highset earning TV soap in television history.
    4.Made DON a supehit whera s old DON was only a avg fare.
    5.His total BO collection is approx 3000 crore which is more than the combined BO collection of BIG B,Rajesh Khanna put together.
    6.BIG B gave the award to sanjay Dutt because Sanjay Dutt deserved it in Sajan.
    7.BIG B last solo hit was Mard in 1984 .After that he have never gave a solo hit.
    8.70 % of the BIG B are hits are multi starrers. where as 70% SRKs hits are solo hits.

    I can give more if you need.Digest this much initially.othewise you would have dehydtartion

  72. FUk these people these people this khan and bachen first tell me who r they if they r frm india or pakistan than they are cheat hollywood.TOM CRUISE or BRAD PITT Or ASHTAN KUTCHER or ORLANDO BLOOM have far better class than indians or Pakistani because they dont copy movies and acting style.Actor ALL PACINO Scarface

  73. I hate bollywood Love U TOM CRUISE BRAD PITT JOHNY DEPP and matt daman GEORGE COLLONY upcoming stars ASHTAN KUCTHER COLLIN FARREL ORLANDO BLOOM I AGREE WITH MUHAMMAD KHAN 90 PERCENT OF INDIAN MOVIES ARE CHEATED FROM HOLLYWOOD CINIMA

  74. SRK has done great job. His last 5 movies which are Paheli, KANK, Don, CDI and OSO are all great. Whether art oriented role in Paheli, Negative role in KANK, Gansgster role in Don, Patriotic role in CDI and Entertainer/Fun Oriented role in OSO, he did the best. And he is already high in romantic roles and villaneous roles(Darr, Anjam) already. He always remind me of Dilip Kumar Acting. Dilip Kumar, SRK and Aamir are like institutions for me to learn acting.

  75. Muhammad Khan and Girl Next Door (the behroopiya): You blokes can’t even spell the names of all hollywood stars you mentioned correctly (just re-check how you’ve spelt some of them) and you’re talking of hollywood!! Hence wonder how much of a hollywood movie (in terms of dialogue) would really go into your li’l head……
    People like you, the blind followers of anything ‘western’, are the real shame of indian culture. People like you bring a bad name to our glorious culture mainly due to your sheer ignorance and then the over-confidence based on that ignorance…….

  76. Rightly said Varun.

    Muhammad Khan & girl_next door,

    The Sony pictures / Columbia tristars are coming to Bollywood not simply for nothing.

    Sony Pictures, is the first in what will become a wave of American studios to produce their own Bollywood films. The American studios are keen to make money in India, to make the best Bollywood film, pitting Hollywood, the world’s most profitable industry, against India’s own studios, the reigning masters of the genre, which make more movies and sell more tickets than any film industry in the world.

    There is no country on the planet, other than India and the United States, that approaches that level of domestic business.

    Walt Disney has partnered with an Indian studio, Yash Raj Films, to make animated movies for Indians. The first film, “Roadside Romeo,” due next summer.

    Recently Rohan Sippy tied up with Warner Brothers for ‘Made In China’ and UTV Motion Pictures collaborated with Hollywood studio Fox Searchlight and Japanese producer Entertainment Farm to co-produce ‘The Namesake’. UTV is also venturing to co-produce films with Miramax International, Emperor Motion Pictures and Europa Corp.

  77. AMITAB OR SRK AMISHA SUPR*******HI

  78. I have seen Om shanti om and i believe this is one of the greatest film of SRK and he has proved that he is a wonderful actor and great performer. SRK haters go to your nearest cinema hall and observe OSO with heart.

    And try to love people not hate them whatever they are a star or an ordinary person. If you love people people will love you. Not hate them because they are working for us for our entertainment.
    Look at me I like all of the actors and actresses but i like SRK, Hrithk, Shahid kapoor, Rani, Ash, Priety most.

  79. filmfare awards… SRK 6… Amitabh 4… for best Actor… tht too amitabh is like 60 + shahrukh just 40 +… soo let Amitabh first equal tht number… thn we can even think of comparing… SRK by the tym he is amitabhs age.. will hav evn more… still .. let jst amitabh equal SRk… loll

  80. well said Mustafa! i totally agree with you!
    for me,SRK is the best! and he WILL be the best!

    big b’s ben a great actor too..i can’t deny that! but..speaking of the present day, present bollywood year..then y a campare between big b,who WAS an actor in big movies and SRK who is the king of bollywood right now???

    big b’s has more movies than sr only bcoz he has more years in bollywood! when srk gains those years too..then u all (srk haters) will see , SRK will be more known then what like big b was known infront of everyone!

  81. big b worked wit nearly all directors bcoz maybe he didn’t know if they were good or not!! that’s y he has had many flop movies…. but SRK… he chooses good directors,which he believes is gfood and will work well with him! i’m not at all saying that the other diectors are not good..no,not that..but i’m simply trying to say that srk’s choice of directors are according to his name,fame etc…

    what say?

  82. shahrukh is the best actor in the world

    amitab is under shahrukh shoes

    amitab has not a single solo hit while shahrukh had 4 solo hits in his career ddlg kkhh chakde india and oso

    there is no doubt that amitab has more hits than shahrukh

    but shahrukh is 1000 times beetter actor than amitab

    hrithik ko tu ossh nay sabaq learn kara diya hai kay badshah say panga nahi lenay ka oso has beaten up all the records of dhoom2

    shahrukh is 1000 times better actor

    salman ka time khatam hai ok

    salman is over

    amitab has not a single own hit since 1990 except bunty bubly and black was average to above average

    salman doesnt have one hit since long time

    plz dont be jelous of shahrukh success

    shahrukh is the badshah of hindi cinema and only he knows what the acting is

    we should not consider hits or flops

    we should consider the acting and for me shahrukh is the badshah of acting and for you ashish amitab and salman are good actors fine thats done

    shahrukh had won 4 times and didnt lose a single award of sab say favourite kaun

    because peoples knows shahrukh is the best actor

    because they like shahrukh and his marvellous acting

    shahrukh you r the badshah of acting

  83. sorry danish

  84. sorry

    the comment no114 is for danish not for ashish

  85. I never compare any actor with other. Amitabh was a great actor of his time and now the crown is on SRK head. But something is there in SRK as everybody tries to compare him with Amitabh, Aamir, Hrithik, Dilip Kumar, Rajnikanth and many more.

  86. hai friends,

    I am always saying don’t compare amitab bachan with srk ,Srk is totally different from Amitabh
    He still not gave all times blocbuster movie to the audience
    Srk gave countless all times blockbuster,

    for exp,If Big B is Camel than
    Srk is a Horse,
    How can you compare Camel and Horse
    Camel Looks like Tall ,
    But Horse can run Fast
    Horse will not sit till death

    King Khan

  87. I just want to comment on one thing in this post…about Amitabh with Rekha..and SRK having no affair with anyone…let me start by saying “you are on CRACK!” Is cheating only cheating when you get caught ??? SRK has had his own string of affairs, just google it…

  88. well, Those who are supporting sharuk are all muslim guys.
    This is the problem with these guys that….who ever guy belong’s to their religion will be a star and other religion heros are zeros.
    But world knows that you guys including Sharuk is a zero.
    Amitab is like a mountain and Sharuk is a mud heap.

    Sharuk can’t have affair with other girl because he has affairs with guys :) go and have coffee with Karan and ask him about sharuk…..hehehehe

    Sharuk is just a lover boy….where can he give performance of Amitab?
    Amitab is star of this era………..Sharuk is bullshit…..

  89. Indeed what a year, 2007 has been. 2007 has been the year that SRK with CDI has confirmed that he is the best actor ever in Bollywood. Then after confirming that he is the best actor ever, SRK went on to reconfirm something that everyone (not just I, but everyone) has always said, that he is the best star that Bollywood has ever seen. Yes OSO has reconfirmed SRK’s legendary star status. OSO has become the highest grosser with 86 Cr collection in India and worldwide collection has reached almost to 225 Cr and it is still earning. wow! that is brilliant.

  90. hi

    this year has been great 4 srk as wellas fans like me..he has again proved to be the king of bollywood..his film oso even beat tom cruise starrer lambs of lions in us..so no doubt he is the king..amitabh bachan cannot be compared wit srk as he is not worth comparing…KBC was not a flop but was a hit,so he was approx given one crore for an episode..incometax is the proof for that..he has already paid 27 crores as advance in income tax which is nowhere close to second by hrithik which is close to 15 crores..so he is making big moolahs..

    moreover when i go through his autobio i more and more adore him..his struggle lives wit no parents as his dad passed away early and mom before he became a star.he has a sis who is still in mental shock after her mom’s death..imagine his strugglin days without parents, sis in mental shock,no god father in the industry…wat a man!!! bow to him

    speakin abt his superhits oso has proved to the megasuperhit,chakde becomin the national anthem for sports..wat more u want??

    speaking about his clean status,in fact there is not much controversies against him..ones media asked him dat u are very close to gandhi fsmily will u do publicity for dem…and he replied and i coat.”i knw dey wont ask me to do”.but there is nothing to say abt AB..

    all of u know bollywood has been divided into two camps-srk camp and AB camp..sorry to say dat ppl are movin out of AB camp eventhough it had very few..for eg subroto roy(sahara) once a big time AB fan is now a srk fan doin a show wit srk called chakde yaaran..

    media relations..
    who is AB?? he is the amitabh bachan coz of media and to the same media he behaved ruthlessly during abhi-ash wedding..taking srk now wen he came 4m london in aug after a very lontime he was supposed to inaugurate a mall..he went dere and the media ppl pushed him somuch dat the glass broke and he got badly injured..after dat he told and i coat “yeh to media ka pyar hai”..his shows are much big hit

    i can go on like this really long..so all srk fans have a great life and to all AB Fans we are waiting for you!!

  91. to danish khan..

    plz get ur figures right..
    oso has earned more than 95 crores and still pretty going strong overseas..it has tumbuled many records..it has entered the record books being a movie to get arnd 40 crores in its opening week itself…

  92. i am sorry to say dat u are too narrow minded to make such comments abt religion biasing.. srk has got the second biggest fan club among indian stars after the boss rajnikant…so u cant have the nos just coz of muslim fans..i will tell u something…just go to orkut,search for srk communities and compare the nos wit big b nos..u will see the result…srk has over 5 lac members in the community whereas ab doesn have even a lakh..

    plz broaden up your mind..we dont want ppl like u in india

  93. hey guyss…can we have some better discussions than just fighting endlessly on this topic..the world knows..n needs no proof of SRK being the Superstar…no doubt Big B too is gud..but he had his time where he has proved himself…n now its SRK time where is making most of it n is doing his bestt…
    n y r v getting Religion in between..thats sooo ridiculous or rather Cheap i shud say…talk only what sounds sensible…just to make a statement v hav no ryts to include such sensitive matters…
    so ppl plzz GROW UP!!!!

  94. hi

  95. Yaaar! SRK has consecutive 4 hits including KANK, DON, CDI and OSO while Akshay has back to back 5 straight hits including Bhagam Bhag, Namastay London, Heyy Baby, Bhool Bhuliya and Welcome. Both are going very good. They both are on a dream run.

  96. SRK has submitted 27 Cr of Income Tax, Hrithik Roshan has submitted 15 Cr of Income Tax, Akshay has submitted 7 Cr of Income Tax and the whole family of Baachans incuding Ash, Abhishek and Amitabh has submitted almost 7 Cr of Income Tax for the year 2007.

    Thus approximately SRK has earned more than 100 Cr, Hrithik has earned almost 60 Cr while Akshay Kumar has earned almost 25 Cr and whole family of Baachans has earned almost 25 Cr this year, based on the Income Tax.

  97. hey guys common grow up,,,dere can be no comparison between king khan and akshay,,,srk is sole king of bollywood if u r saying akshay gave 5 consective hits let me tell u all of them were multi-starrer except namastey lond while as srk has give 4 consective solo blockbusters n last one oso creatin history everywhere,,,,,,,i saw welcome its all n all nana pateker n anil kapoors film akshay kumar sucks in it and also bhool bulaiya his role is supportin as he comes in second half…
    now u only tell me guys do u still want to compare mighty khan with supportin actor akshey kumar?????

  98. guys one chakde india is equivalent to all the so called consectives hits given by akshey kumar in terms of boxoffice ,performance,quality and all other aspects ,,,,,,,i m not against akshey kumar he is a very good actor however he is no match to srk in terms of versatality,charisma,popularity
    akshey has not proved his metal in all kinds of roles he has so far succeded nly in comedies …..u folks tell me hw many of us remember amol paleker who also gave back to back hits in his time..srk is a living legend no one can deny dat……

  99. sorry no offences to anyone but this is my point of view……

  100. giong by the facts let me give u a brief descriptin of the type of movies done by akshay n srk to justify my comment no.130
    1 bhangam bhag = multi starrer=comedy flick
    2 hey baby = multi starrer =comedy flick
    3 bhool b = multi starrer = thriler comedy
    4 welcome = multi starrer = comedy flick
    the nly exception being namastey london
    now srk
    1 don = solo starrer=action
    2 kank= srk ka character was main =extramarital
    affair drama
    3 chakde india=solo starrer=sports flick
    4 oso = solo starrer= recarnation flick

    now u guys nly tell me who has given max solo hits and also proved the verstality n metal by doing all types of movies????????
    i m waitin for ur answers guys

  101. its pretty clear dat srk is the king of bollywood..more solo superhit movies to his credit..even srk has done all sorts of movies ranging 4m action,thriller,comedy,performance oriented and much more.. even aki is great but most of his great hits are multi-starrer where he needs someone 4 his comic timings..both are great but srk is better..

  102. The concert gave the die-hard SRK fans an opportunity to interact and get up, close and personal with their favorite matinee idol. The show hosted by Sajid Khan had opening acts by Rakhi Sawant, Mouli Dave, Neeti Mohan, and Kunal Ganjawala, enthralling the audiences. However, the temperature actually started soaring when actors like Dia Mirza, Dino Morea, and Priyanka Chopra took centre-stage dancing to some of their popular tracks.

    But the frenzy reached its maximum when King Khan made an entry. The stylish look, the well-toned physique, and his much-loved dimpled smile sent the crowds in a tizzy. Shah Rukh kept his act interactive for most part. He first called on two winners of the ‘Dance with SRK’ contest and gave tips on how to woo a girl even as his chartbuster ‘Aankhon Mein Teri’ from OSO played in the background. Next up was a performance on Don with SRK teaching yet another winner some mean tricks. Last but not the least a young girl from Jaipur had an unforgettable time as King Khan flirted around with her while swaying to the tunes of Pretty Woman from Kal Ho Na Ho.

    As it was time to say Good-bye the winners were given gifts like a certificate, a copy of Shah Rukh’s biography SRK- Still Reading Khan and a large size cut out of the star which he himself autographed.

    Even as the show ended, people were waiting near the VVIP car-park to get one last look at their favorite superstar. One thing is for sure when it comes to super-stardom and mass fan following there is no one to beat Shah Rukh Khan.

  103. Shah Rukh, the spoofer, gets spoofed!
    With unapologetic flamboyance, Shah Rukh Khan ’s home production Om Shanti Om had spoofed some Bollywood veterans. Now, King Khan finds himself at the receiving end of potshots in Bollywood’s latest release.

    Whether you like Rajkumar Santoshi’s latest film Halla Bol or not, what you would surely enjoy is the unsubtle way in which the film takes potshots at some top stars of Bollywood.

    There is a scene in the film in which Ajay Devgan ’s character (Sameer Khan, an actor) speaks about product endorsements by Bollywood stars. With a cynic tone in voice, Devgan mocks Bollywood stars who endorse products just for the sake of big bucks without caring to use the product themselves.

    Devgan’s character even goes on to mock a Bollywood star who endorses hair oil without ever using the product.

    The allusion becomes clearer when Devgan spoofs SRK and mimics him, saying: “Thanda Thanda, Cool Cool.

    Now, we all know that this is SRK’s punchline in an advertisement of Navratna oil that he endorses.

    In the similar scene, Devgan carries the joke further by ridiculing the stars who dance at weddings of rich people for money. This, again, is an indirect potshot at SRK who is known to have danced at some high profile weddings.

    A source from the industry says: “Shah Rukh hasn’t yet seen ‘Halla Bol’ but he must have by now heard about the scenes in the film that seem to mock him. Given his sporty nature, he is not likely to get offended by the scenes.”

    Even Rajkumar Santoshi says he hasn’t heard any complaint from Khan about the scenes.

    It may be recalled that Bollywood veterans like Manoj Kumar and Dev Anand were spoofed in SRK’s home production ‘Om Shanti Om’. In fact, Manoj Kumar had openly expressed his displeasure over spoof scenes in the film. However, peace was made just in time and the issue was not taken to the courts.

  104. Mere jogri Dosts …………………Shahrukh is no 1 and Amit is also not bad. You cannot compare, true Shaharukh has been No 1 for 20 years but Amit too was No 1 for a few years.

  105. Big B is god. Baki sab khan bachche hain. sari duniya amitabh bachchan ke 100 crore fans hain.and sab khan ko nila do to 10% bhi nahi honge. hardly 10 crore.
    kuchh bhi karne se pahle soch liya karo kya kar rahe ho.

  106. LOOK even thought i love srk i would admitt BIG B is much experienced, senior and absolutely best in this field/ acting he is to the top and even srk believes that then y u comparing… he also said sorry to MK hey every one does mistakes we r all human got that yea y u hating srk for chill chill…

  107. hi

    this year has been great 4 srk as wellas fans like me..he has again proved to be the king of bollywood..his film oso even beat tom cruise starrer lambs of lions in us..so no doubt he is the king..amitabh bachan cannot be compared wit srk as he is not worth comparing…KBC was not a flop but was a hit,so he was approx given one crore for an episode..incometax is the proof for that..he has already paid 27 crores as advance in income tax which is nowhere close to second by hrithik which is close to 15 crores..so he is making big moolahs..

    moreover when i go through his biography i more and more adore him..his struggle lives wit no parents as his dad passed away early and mom before he became a star.he has a sis who is still in mental shock after her mom’s death..imagine his strugglin days without parents, sis in mental shock,no god father in the industry…wat a man!!! bow to him

    speakin abt his superhits oso has proved to the megasuperhit,chakde becomin the national anthem for sports..wat more u want??

    speaking about his clean status,in fact there is not much controversies against him..ones media asked him dat u are very close to gandhi fsmily will u do publicity for dem…and he replied and i coat.”i knw dey wont ask me to do”.but there is nothing to say abt AB..

    all of u know bollywood has been divided into two camps-srk camp and AB camp..sorry to say dat ppl are movin out of AB camp eventhough it had very few..for eg subroto roy(sahara) once a big time AB fan is now a srk fan doin a show wit srk called chakde yaaran..

    media relations..
    who is AB?? he is the amitabh bachan coz of media and to the same media he behaved ruthlessly during abhi-ash wedding..taking srk now wen he came 4m london in aug after a very lontime he was supposed to inaugurate a mall..he went dere and the media ppl pushed him somuch dat the glass broke and he got badly injured..after dat he told and i coat “yeh to media ka pyar hai”..his shows are much big hit

    i can go on like this really long..so all srk fans have a great life and to all AB Fans we are waiting for you!!

  108. Shahrukh Khan has the most fans in the world. He is the worlds biggest superstar. Not even AB was as big as SRK during his prime years.

  109. Hey! SRK is declared as the biggest star of the world till date by CNN International.

  110. srk is not my fan but he is differnt from others

  111. srk is not my fan but he is differnt from amitabh

  112. I could not disagree with Mustafa more. I believe he must be Shah Rukh Khan’s cousin. SRK does the same role over and over again. The guy is so insecure. He blatantly makes fun of other actors (FilmFare Awards). He himself is so sensitive to criticism. How can you even compare a real man such as Amitabh to a Whatever that SRK is?

  113. All of Amitabh Bachchan’s movies this year have made less than SRK’s OSO. Eklavya-41.75 CR, Nishabad- 11.2 CR, Cheeni Kum-32.75 CR, Shoot Out- 54.6 CR, Aag-14.5 CR which brings the grand total to about 154.51 CR, compared to OSO which made 168.75 CR. These numbers are on BOI, in the Year at a Glance section.

  114. I think UDAY CHOPRA is better than the both of them combined. His work in Dhoom(1) is a perfect example.

  115. Thanks Na-Real SRk

  116. Mustafa, kamran_azam, amir baig - what can one expect from Musilm fanatics but to support Muslim actors like SRK and Dilip Kumar. It is because of this kind of malicious attack on Hindu actor/s particlulary Amitabh that our country can never transcend into a liberal society. To date Mulsims have this fetish to prove how superior they are (a drive to reinstate the Moghal rule in India) and want to aggresively drive their superiority by putting down people from the majority sect. Amitabh is just a scapegoat for fanatic Muslims and SRK and Dilip Kumar are mere carricatures of the wider mission of casting ill motives. No matter how concilliatory other relisions may be, Muslims will try to thwart them by demosntrating their non-existent superiority.

    That is why Bollywood today is called the Khan colonialization. Don’t think that you can gain the respect of the majority of people by forcing the gutter that SRK comes up with every year. He is a crap actor in his own words, and you have the audacity to comapre him with the likes of Amitabh Bachachan. Let SRK comepet with Akshay Kuamr who ate him up in 2007 and Hritik ate him up in 2006. This year he has no release in lead role. Somebody rightly pointed out that the volumes and scale of business has grown in suach monstrous proportions that to compare the business of the 70s and 80s is no longer a reality.

    One of you guys said SRK’s respones to Namak Halal was Yes Boss. How are these two roles comparable may I ask? Namak Halal was a hit and Yes Boss was a flop. Hum Tumhare Hain Sanam was a flop, Veer zaara (according to Komal Nahata is a flop). Swades is a flop, Chalte Chalte is an average, Don is an avereage, Asoka is a flop, Paheli is a flop, Koyla is a flop. This is SRK’s filmography for you. You see how many flops he has.

    Tell me which is the solo blockbuster SRK has given minus DDLJ (YRF). Most of the other big hits have been multistarrer.

    Mohabatein had SRK in the lead role. Most SRK fans have found his unstoppable commentary boring and monotonous. Shakti - has a split verdict. there are many who feel that Amitabh stole Dilip Kumar’s thunder in that movie. That is why Dilip Kumar could not come up with any major hits after that.

    So grow up guys. Stop this Hindu Muslim divide. We are one nation. Just as you expect us to respect the minsorty you should also rise above your parochialism and respect actors from other sects. Otherwise you just cannot win any argument by force.

  117. sharukhs hit is due to sentiment
    sharukh cant match hrithik nor amitab amitab being much older than sharukh earn more than him nad hrithik nbeing much yonger dominates him

  118. In what world does Amitabh earn more than Shahrukh Khan? Ravikant, you only looked at SRK’s flops, Veer Zaara was NOT a flop. CDI, OSO, K3G, KANK, MHN, Devdas, Don are just some of the hits he has given. All of Amitabh Bachchan’s movies flopped this year. Even in his prime years, Amitabh Bachchan’s movies were hits due to a good starcast, Sholay- Amjad Khan, Dharmendra. They made Amitabh look like crap.

  119. rajvardhan, Big B big fan, PKS - what can one expect from Hindu fanatics but to support hindu actors like Amitabh and Abhishek. It is because of this kind of malicious attack on Muslim actor/s particlulary Shah Rukh Khan that our country can never transcend into a liberal society. To date Hindu’s have this fetish to prove how superior they are (a drive to reinstate the Ram rule in India) and want to aggresively drive their superiority by putting down people from the majority sect. Shah Rukh Khan is just a scapegoat for fanatic Hindus and Amitabh and Abhishek are mere carricatures of the wider mission of casting ill motives. No matter how concilliatory other relisions may be, Hindus will try to thwart them by demosntrating their non-existent superiority.

    That is why Bollywood today is called the Bachchan colonialization. Don’t think that you can gain the respect of the majority of people by forcing the gutter that Amitabh comes up with every year. He is a crap actor in his own words, and you have the audacity to comapre him with the likes of Shah Rukh Khan. Let Amitabh comepet with Anol Palekar who ate hi up in 1980 and Nasserudinshah ate him up in 1981.

    One of you guys said Amitabh’s respones to Yes Boss was Namak Halal. How are these two roles comparable may I ask? Yes Boss was a hit and Namak Halal was a flop. Benaam was a flop, Agneepath (according to http://www.boxofficeindia.com is a flop). Main Azad Hoon is a flop, Majboor is an average, Great Gambler is an avereage, Alaap is a flop, Saaudagaar is a flop, Shahenshah is a flop. This is Amitabh’s filmography for you. You see how many flops he has.

    Tell me which is the solo blockbuster Amitabh has given in his career. None.

    Mohabatein had Amitabh in the lead role. Most Amitabh fans have found his unstoppable commentary boring and monotonous. There are majority who feel that SRK stole Amitabh’s thunder in that movie. That is why Amitabh could not come up with any major hits after that.

    So grow up guys. Stop this Hindu Muslim divide. We are one nation. Just as you expect us to respect the minsorty you should also rise above your parochialism and respect actors from other sects. Otherwise you just cannot win any argument by force.

  120. Well said Mustafa. Long time no c? Where you’ve been?

  121. Busy with my life, still it is not in right platform. Let see how long it takes to reach right destination.

  122. Musrafa

    Well done with your reply to rajvardhan…

    i dont understand why SRK haters out of no control bring religion thing in these matters…when i started liking SRK i was only 6 and at that time i didnt even had proper idea of what religion means…so did my soul tell me to like him may be he will be from my religion??? Lets agree for instance that muslims like SRK because he is muslim…then who is more in india muslims or hindus??? then how only a minotiry of population can make SRK so on the top??? Plzzz grow up….if you cant bear the fact that SRK is sooo popular then stop commenting on anything related to him…

  123. Hi Mustafa Well Back

  124. Welcme back brother

  125. Mr.Rajbradhan or who ever you are.Thats a ridiculous statement that SRK is only loved by Muslims.

    I am a Hindu but i love SRK to the hilt.Not only me,my family and freinds also love him

    7 out of 10 people i meet everyday love SRK and great SRK fans.Now they are not Muslims for sure.

    SRK is loved because he is one of the most secular individual i have seen.When we go to watch a movie religion doesnt come in to picture.

    Religion sd not stop you from liking an individual.

    I am a Hindu and i like amitabh as an actor not because he is a hindu.I mean how ridiculous the statememnt can be.

    The sooner we get rid of this narrowmindedness the better for our country otherwise we all will become Bin Ladens clones.

  126. Secondly Mr Rajbradhan kindly check your facts before telling anything.FYI SRK is highest tax payer this year.By no means BIG B and Hritik earn more than him.Akshya Kumar come close second to him.

  127. Guys its very simple BIG B was no 1 from 1975 till 1986 and absolutely he ruled BO.

    But at the same time SRK is ruling BO from 1993 till date.

    So both are greats in their own right.Its futile to compare both.Its like comparing gary Sobers with sachin Tendulhar.

  128. YAWN… SRK is the BEST..P.E.R.I.O.D
    Now, will some one please tell me where’s the first part?
    Hats off to Mustafa for this brilliant analysis :)

  129. All the above things said about BIG B is totally unwarranted and unacceptable. You nuts are comparing stupid dumb actor like SRK with a legend and it’s obvious why people like MUSTAFA are doing so… Mr Mustafa and all u anti Big B guys…sit back and hear this…
    GUDDU, ZAMANA DiWANA, RAM JAANE, OH DARLING YEH HAI INDIA, KING UNCLE, MAYA MEMSAAB, ENGLISH BABU DESI MEM, DUPLICATE, CHAHAT and many more…Do u consider all the above films of SRK even worth watching once…DAMN YOU ALL….
    Stop fooling yourself and face the reality. If u say that there were no cables, internet in BIG B’s (READ BIGGEST B OF ALL.. SRK doesn’t deserve to be compared with him as he is a non-actor first of all) times, then look at the other side of the coin also. The ticket rates were also not that exorbitant. Overseas market was not prevalent then and this is nothing to do with BIG B. Commercialization had not taken place and media was also not that active. But still if you have wrote such an article and wish to compare any small/big actor with the legend (AMITABH BACHCHAN) who is past 65 yrs now, then this itself is a compliment as this goes to say that all u above guys feel threatened by his presence. Grow up u losers. Even Dilip Kumar (after working with AB in Shakti), Kamal Hasan, Rajnikant, Aamir khan have acknowledged that there is no match for BIG B as he is versatile, slips in any role and delivers. Not like some craature called SRK who is a blot in the name of acting. He is a true ‘bhand’ to the core and he himself has admitted that after dancing in weddings etc.
    SRK has never won a national award where as AB has won 2 (Agnnepath and Black). Filmware awards are the only ones which SRK wins and we all know how biased these awards are. Hang on…here too BIG B has won more than him (just to give a mouthful to Mustafa and his people incase here is a point for him to score, if he thinks so)
    Last but not the least, if u talk of superstars in fim industry till now, then let me tell each superstar had its own style and persona and never copied any one else’s acting. Be it Dilip kumar, Dev Anand, Raj Kapoor, Rajesh Khanna and finally Amitabh Bachchan. Th era of superstardon started with Rajesh Khanna actually and ended with BIG B (DK, RK and DA were all there together and did not rule single handedly). But with SRK, he has copie all…from Nana patekar to Rajesh khanna to AB and his films… This shows his complex and what all acting skills he has for us to show. Aamir Khan is the only one in present times (and to some extent, Akshay Kumar and hrithik) who are real contenders for the superstars that we have had in the past. SRK never acts, he always over-acts. He doesnt perform, he hams big time.
    And if you are still not convinced which I am sure u all wud never, then let SRK come at BIG B’s age and we will see where would he stand then. It’s very easy to do romantic roles when one is young (although I feel 42 is not the age for all this, but with makeups and all, u can cover up a little) and he can only do that. What will happen once he reached 50 or even 47 maybe….!

    The first part of this post is @ http://filmikhabar.com/2007/07/30/difference-between-king-khan-and-big-b/

  131. zuzu

    ok we agree with you…go and celebrate that your so-called big b is still a superstar and SRK who is loved by billions of fans all over the world (whether they are aisan or not)is not even a superstar…go and live in your blind world…

    as you mentioned some of SRK’s not so successful movies…to that i would say that he is not GOD to get everything right…every actor make mistakes…i mean your so-called superstar big b just deliverd 3 back to back washout flops…so what would you say to that??? i mean as human beings we cant be perfact all the time…do you do everythig perfact 24/7???? in fact compared to all other actors in bollywood including your big b SRK is the only actor who has given less flops..

    who is sayng amitabh is not versatile and great actor??? i am being SRK fan dont deny the fact he is also one of the best actors in the world but NOT THE BEST…cause to call an actor best they should have everythig…great acting, great personality, maximum number of hits and superhits, great fan following (which doesnt stay or increase with the time come you are not a great actor), X-factor, and most importantly GREAT personality, and SRK has all of these qualities…your so-called big b doesn have all of these qualities…

    SRK is the best and he has been rocking and continue rocking until he is alive…

  132. damn zuzu you are boring!! and stop spamming
    Listen no one is denying that Amitabh was a good actor once upon a time..but he has had it..his time is up..he has made way for the newer talents to come to the forefront.accept it! SRK is the KING TODAY..and for many many years to come he will reign supreme.
    Whats the problem?? why cant you live with it? i see nothing but jealousy in your “yawn” posts.
    And what sort of argument are you resorting to??
    Sholay was a hit..but you are talking as if it the FIRST and the VERY LAST hit to ever come out of the industry.
    I’ll tell you which films of AB made me laugh..Aag, Nishabd, KANK(damn that sam thing was just so irritating)..and many many more. Cheeni Kum..whoa what was the shit all about?? stupid movie..and his scenes with the lil kid were disgusting.He tries too hard to look cool.
    Then theres the baap of all bores..SARKAR..all he does in the movie is stare and stare and stare..and guess what as if he alone wasn’t enough the baby monkey does the same too.
    and then there is JBJ..hahahahahahaha…my my my…was the theater laughing like crazy or what..someone in the audience said “dekh dekh kaise saanp ki tarah naach raha hai”..hahahaha..i laughed so hard man!
    And i agree..he might have tried his hand at diff sort of actings but its only the angry young man thing which earned him his roti, kapda and makan. i hated him in comedies..it looked so forced with that repeated use of “hain hain hain”.
    If you think SRK is not a good actor then the problem lies with you..He is a damn good actor..And i am sorry to inform you that millions across the globe are with me on that.
    And hell don’t give the shit abt him being popular overseas..he is like Aishwarya..all hype thanks to the PRs..no one knows him in the us, uk, eu forget the middle eastern coutries barring a microscopic desi minority!! LOL(what a joke that one is seriously), in spite of having to his credit a few, very few, international honours and awards.
    On the other hand SRK at 42 only is a mass hysteria overseas..his popularity knows no limit. He is the most sought after indian actor in the US,UK,EU, and in almost all the Arab countries. So much so that the local channels here play ONLY his movies. And in India his popularity needs no proof. And its only a handful of the elite population that seems to have negative opinion about him. And if you call Ab’s hard stares and same rigid facial expressions acting then dude you have a very deflated idea about acting. It’s a pain sitting thru’ his movies specially the recent ones. The older ones at least had other actors who made up for his dumb acting, like has been rightly pointed out here by some.
    And i think more
