Srk’s Billoo Barber to release Akshay’s Chandni Chowk to China?
Oct 29th, 2008 is release date for these films!

Shah Rukh Khan |
Akshay Kumar |
The much talked-about war between Akshay Kumar and Shah Rukh Khan is soon going to be public. The war for the number one position will be at its peak when Shah Rukh Khan’s Billoo Barber will clash with Akshay Kumar’s Chandni Chowk to China at the marquee.
In the past couple of years, Akshay Kumar has delivered hits consistently and is said to be on par with Shah Rukh Khan in his box-office status and hence is a threat to SRK’s numero uno throne. He is already the most sought after actor and that’s why Nikhil Advani’s film Chandni Chowk to China is tipped to be very hot in the trade circuit.
Keeping this in mind, according to trade insiders, the publicity strategy of Chandni… is planned in such a way that it would be able to hold on its own despite Shah Rukh’s Billoo Barber releasing simultaneously. Knowing SRK, it is obvious that he will go all out to promote his film. So Akshay and Advani have already planned to start off with the teaser promo of their film to show with Akshay’s film Singh Is Kinng. With both sides pitted equally, it’s well worth the wait to check out who will win the battle.

Hi guys,
True, very true…the article has to be true and SRK’s time is going to be over now as Akshay’s gonna rip SRK apart. Billo Barber will be a biggest flop and Akshay will be the undisputed KING…After all, SINGH IS KING!!! Over to boring, monotonous, egoistic, hamming SRK….Akshay is here and is rocking…..He is the new superstar.
Only time will tell whether Akshay can beat BIG B or not becuase even SRK has lost out to BIG B now.

Suraj!
Which is Akshay Kumar Biggest Hit in India & Overseas?
Comment by Rajeev on 24 June 2008:
Suraj,
Let me tell you,Billo Barber is Not SRKs film at the first place.he has got a guest role.The main lead is played by Irfan Khan.
So all the talk betweem SRK and AK fight is a non entity.
Secondly ,with due respect to AK,he has stared delivering hits in last one and half years.So dont trate him as a superstar as yet.Let him rule for 3/4 years more.
Suraj,
Your BO knowledge seem to very poor or your are one of those fools like Nishit and arun who argue in this forum without any logic and stats to back them.
Comment by hala on 24 June 2008:
first of all :
Akshay is NOT on par with KING Shah Rukh Khan in his box-office status .. His movies last year did have Ave succeed but they are rubbish movies without quality or substance ..
and his last “TASHAN” is Super flop .. sooo bad movie ..
Second :
Billo barber .. is NOT Shahrukh Khan’s Film .. It’s Irrfan’s one and SRK did a cameo in it .. Dispite that “Billo Barber” will Rockkkk INSHAALLAH ..bcoz it has SRK midas Touch
So .. Live Long King Khan .. GOD Bless you ..
You are The Best in The World of Cinema ..
Comment by hala on 24 June 2008:
suraj ..
hahahah .. you are soo funny .. who you are talking about???

he’s by luck .. a small star in KING SRK’s Galaxy ..
and soo all the others .. OK ..
So relax my dear .. you have nothing to proof here, and if you tried you will be the most stupid person .. good luck
Comment by jai on 24 June 2008:
Hi guys,
True, very true…the article has to be true and SRK’s.akshay time is over and his flops are again start . Billo Barber will be a biggest blockbuster and Akshay will be as small as he was 1 yr before…, ….shahrukh khan is here and is rocking…and rock the world previous yr with his two biggest blockbuster..He is the undisputed superstar.
Only time will tell whether Akshay can beat BIG B or not becuase even SRK has taken over big b in the start of 90s with deewna and till date
and for urs information suraj
shahrukh khan has beaten up akshay kumar before and will beat him again
if u remember janneman vs don
and akshay was also having the support of salman khan now wat he will beat srk alone and one thing more
look at the record of akshay 85 films 13 hits only
and now the bad time of akshay again start,when his tashan was extra boombed{flop} at boxoffice
and one more info akshay click only in comedy flick and not every time but sometime
and one more info
Priyadarshan is the director
i think u know the name priyadarshan,go and make some research abt him,now he is working with shahrukh khan
and one more thing priyadarshan has created akshay as comic actor he can destroy him too and ofcourse srk is there too
so watchout suraj priyadarshan and srk r coming together to rock the bollywood
Comment by Suraj on 24 June 2008:
Relax guys….People seems to be getting touchy over Shahrukh. Hang on, i never said, Akshay is the King right now. But as things stand today and considering Akshay’s recent record, it is very unlikely to conclude that he’s finished as claimed by most of you.
Infact Akshay has all the quality of being labelled a superstar and guys give it to him as he has really shown tremendous and marked improvement in his acting. He is one man who can do action, comedy, romance and looks hotter and hotter every day. In past only Mr. Bachchan has had that charisma. ofcourse he is rocking today also but can’t play a lead man because of his age.
SRK is limited scope of acting is very good esp. in romantic roles. He has given good films like Swades, but the movie bombed. SRK is more media driven and with good options in Akshay, one really wonders what future SRK has now? Ofcourse he will be around but I think Akshay is still better.
Shahrukh’s limited facial expressions like pouting his lips, tweaking his eyebrows are so feminish and we have really gotten bored of it now. I remember seeing OSO in cinema hall and I heard audience already complaining of his wrinked face and that the fact that he is romancing a young girl enough to be his daugther. I only wish Shahrukh could ACT and that’s where he fails and pales in comparison to Aamir, Akshay and Amitabh-the legendary actor.
Comment by don_mansoor on 24 June 2008:
whatever….but one thing keep in mind…SRK is not the lead in BB…..so where the clash?
Comment by Rajeev on 24 June 2008:
Suraj,
I dont think you have the capacity to decide if SRK can act or not??
People of India decides.If he is non actor ,then his movies would have bombed at the BO.But its not happening.In the contrary the great actor(Amitabh) giving flops after flops.
That means people do not like his(Amitabhs) crappy acting any more.
This year SRK has taken all the best actor awards available .Still you would say he is a non actor.
Unfortunately for you ,people do not listen to your verdict on SRK.They decide themselves.
Comment by Scacas on 24 June 2008:
Mustafa and Jai are SRK fans and hence cannot see the reality.
Akshay is King.
Comment by faisal on 24 June 2008:
Akshay can act… But cannot match the charisma of SRK.
If these two films release at same time… take my words, Billo barber will leave cctc far behind. Both would be hits i reckon but Billo barber has an edge bwcause of SRK.
He can make a film like OSO a Blockbuster.
Comment by manoj on 24 June 2008:
shahrukh khan will kill CCTC for sure ,he is a genius in marketing.
Comment by Suraj on 24 June 2008:
Rajeev,
First of all your logic to put Amitabh in the same frame as SRK is absolute weird and wrong. Their age differences are huge, they really do not have any competition with each other. Because Amitabh is at a point where hits and flops do not affect him or his popularity any more. He is well past B.O really since he’s not a forerunner in Bollywood. He can play character roles and some exceptions like Black, Sarkar, Sarkar Raj, Baghban (which are essentially being designed keeping him in mind. Don’t you think this is commendable???) always happen.
Plus one shoudl not forget that he’s been there for as much as 40+yrs now and has nothing else to prove. Indian film industry is known to have a yound lead hero, a young lead heroine and not an old hero/heroine. See that whatever little has changed today was not there in Amitabh’s times. But industry is slowly and slowly progressing toward hollywood stype where actors past 50-55 are real heroes. And to be able to acrry off that kind of roles, we need educated, talented actors which to some extent, BIG B has bene able to fill that void.
Now coming to SRK, no doubt he has won lot of awards, but do u really gauge a person’s acting skills with that yardstick? Analyse within yourself first. Aamir has won least awards so does that make him a bad actor. The answer to your question is that awards such as filmfare are given on the basis of a movie faring very well and to the popularity any x,y, actor demands. Otherwise, why do you think SRK has not been able to win a single national award till date?
Shahrukh has been doing same romantic roles with same limited expressions over and over again. It’s like old wine in a new bottle & every time the bottle is either in the form of a compact ingredient/mixture of different talents like OSO dance/song sequence or a new actress debut or the combined efforts of other co-actors along with him. It’s the combined effort that counts in his films. Ofcourse, since he’s a bigger star, he ends up with the meatiest part.But the point to note is that he is not the one man show.
For eg: when u see SRK in a movie, it’s always the star SRK not the actor SRK…But if you see a film like say, Sarkar Raj, here when you come out of the hall, you remember the characters, u have Subhash Nagre in your mind & not the Amitabh bachchan. This is his magic.His name is larger thsn life. He breathes the character, lives it fully. His knowledge is his strength while facing the camera.
I am waiting for SRK to do something similar. He tried with Swades a little, earlier on with kabhi Haan, kabhi naa but not anymore. What is there in SRK’s acting as such? Nothing at all. he is plain lucky to be there at the right time and right place when there was no competition and Amitabh had alrwady grwown older. he has not faced any competition whatsoever from anyone and from those who he faced, normally keep themselves aloof from awards or media glare. SRK is media driven and he can’t sustain himself once he grows older. he needs to reinvent himself. After all people are not fools to keep on accepting a haggard hero romancing a young nubile everytime. How many different attractions can u add in a film? or how many diff. permutations and combinations can u try? Finally, it comes out that one needs all this and can’t do with ordinary stuffs. Remember Paheli? Asoka..all those films flopped because SRK fell flat in those roles. And you compare him with Amitabh of 65+? Really funny….
Comment by Mustafa on 24 June 2008:
Same Nonesence Suraj without any logic. Bring some solid point.
CHAK DE! INDIA
“Shah Rukh Khan is the soul of CHAK DE! INDIA. What you see on screen would be half of what it is without this matchless actor. He makes you feel what you are supposed to feel. A performance that’s sure to go down as one of his finest works so far.”
DEVDAS
“Shah Rukh Khan is mindblowing as Devdas. He plays his character with such finesse and aplomb that it is sheer delight to watch him. He evokes the right kind of emotions in the viewers’ hearts, never once going overboard. He looks splendid and mesmerises the audience with his acting in many scenes. As a man madly in love, he proves that there could have been no better choice than him for the role.”
MOHABBATEIN
“Shah Rukh Khan is outstanding as Raj Aryan. The tension-filled scenes with Amitabh and then the light ones with the boys prove that he is an actor with an infinite range. The sequence in the climax, when he surrenders to Amitabh’s wishes to safeguard the interests of the three boys, is applaud-worthy.”
VEER - ZAARA
“VEER-ZAARA is another feather in Shah Rukh Khan’s well decorated cap. The actor enacts the challenging role with amazing ease, putting his best foot forward and emerging trumps. It would indeed be difficult to imagine any other actor essaying the two diverse parts. Simply unforgettable!”
KAL HO NAA HO
“One can’t imagine KAL HO NAA HO without Shah Rukh Khan. The actor delivers yet another bravura performance that he can be proud of, when he looks back in life. The role gives him immense scope to exhibit a gamut of emotions and the actor carries not just his role, but the entire film on his firm shoulders.”
PAHELI
“If you ever had an iota of doubt about Shah Rukh Khan’s versatility, it would evaporate the moment you watch PAHELI. This is amongst Shah Rukh Khan’s most accomplished performances ever. He is fabulous as the ghost and equally convincing as the bewildered husband.”
Comment by Rajeev on 24 June 2008:
Suraj,
You are right when you say,the wards menas nothing.Even i dont value national wards because its the most corrupt one.Otherwise how would ypu describe Saif getting an award for Hum TUm otr BIG B is getting an ward for Black(I honestly dont thing BOG B s acting was anything great in that movie)
Secondly even i agree that Bacchan s should warrent a comparison.This is excatly my point.Bacchan is not a front runner because of his age.But my problem with Bacchan is he is still trying to ignore the current actors and trying to prove that he is still a superstar.
My problem with you is,you are trying find an excuse for BIG B repeated failure at the BO,and also trying to run down SRK with all his success.
Terming SRK a media driven hero is blatant undermining of his achievements.Nobody can survive for that long with only medias’ support.Do you think people go to watch his movies only because he is media freindly.This is as much laughable as being ridiculous.
You might be a BIG B fan,but you need to respect the current achievers.This is where all the Bacchanistas fail.
They fails to respect SRKs achievements.That is where i disagree completely with all bacchanistas.
Otherwise i am as big a fan of BIG B as all bacchanistas put together.
ONE MUST REALISE THAT SUCCESS IS NEVER A FLUKE….
Comment by Mustafa on 24 June 2008:
And Suraj one more thing if Shah Rukh Khan is not great actor, then how he is so much popular. Do you want to say that people watch an actor for just his face not acting. Or you want to say that He is Fluke which is going on for 16 Years without knowing any acting. At least give the actor his due. He has given memorable performances and National Award is not any yardstick to judge that Actor is good or bad. Raveena Tandon has won National Award will you say that she is greatest actress Indian cinema has ever sceen. National Awards doesn’t judge actor is good or bad.
Comment by Suraj on 24 June 2008:
Mustafa,
CHAK DE! INDIA was a good movie but again, the focus was hockey and the 16 girls. SRK did well in whatever little he had to speak.
Devdas- Well i would love to see the one starring Dilip Kumar and Amitabh’s Muqaddar Ka sikander anyday. Even Sanjay Leela Bhansali has not worked again with shahrukh. And he was particularly pathetic in scenes where he’s drunk and hamming….One such scene I remember was, when he fals from staircases and then critisizes himself….I object melord, I…iiiiii object” What was that? Total hamming and a comic scene and it was intented to generate sympathcy for Devdas. Me and the audience was laughing really.
Mohabbatein—Again a romantic role…umpteenth time…no great shakes except that meatiest part was obviously his but Amitabh with not much to speak and sing a song stood out. His glares were too much to resist and Shahrukh looked a dwarf in front of him in acting.
VEER-ZAARA—Again a romantic role….India-pak concept but good haunting songs and a touching concept. SRK was looking his age really. Good work by the makeup men. But he failed to win a national award. Can’t blame the selectors though, it was not worth it.
KHNH—-I would rate Saif’s role as better one. Although SRK had fgood line himself, but it was Saif who with his genuine comic timing, stood out. Ofcourse SRK was playing rajesh khanna ala Anand and so the sympathy was with him. Acting wise—What was new???He has played same way in Yes Boss, Dil To Pagal Hai also…the street smart dude…where was the novelty part???Good songs again.
Paheli—Sorry dude, i could not see the movie till interval only, tried a lot but failed. SRK was not at all looking a village man… Did i say that Paheli flopped anyways bigtime?????
Comment by Mustafa on 24 June 2008:
Suraj that is your thought not of others. Shah Rukh Khan was great in those Movies no two ways about that. Yes from biased angle you want to see then he was not good.
Comment by Mustafa on 24 June 2008:
As for Devdas Sanjay Leela Bhansali himself said that again if he will make Devdas he will take Shah Rukh Khan in it. While Dilip Kumar said only Shah Rukh Khan can do that role.
In Kal Ho Naa Ho when Shah Rukh Khan was dying people were crying to see him dying. That was the magic of his performance.
As for Mohabbtein He overshadowed Amitabh inspite of small role than him that is why his fans were crying like you.
Comment by Mustafa on 24 June 2008:
As for Chak De! India that is the greatest performance of this Decade, so don’t try to challenge on that. Stay away from it. Show your Biased nature for other things.
Comment by Mustafa on 24 June 2008:
And Mr.Suraj that comments are passed by Critics not common man like you. Who doesn’t know anything except Amitabh Bachchan. Fluke can go for 1 or 2 years, not for 16 years.
Comment by Suraj on 24 June 2008:
Rajeev,
Nobody is undermining SRK’s achievments? When did i say that he’s not a superstar any more. I just said that with the men maturing in Akshay & Aamir, SRK has to watch out as they are no less anyways in any sense. And if SRK has been at the right time right place, nothing wrong with it. There was an opportunty, SRK grabbed it. NO big deal but atleast accept the fact that time around, not a class competition was there for him to face. I never said that his success is fluke. But certainly there are better actors in Aamir, Akshay and Hrithik these days.
Secondly, I don’t like the statement that Bachchan does not like anyone? When did u see this happening? Infact I may say so, it has been always SRK who has tried to run down seniour artists like Manoj Kumar parody in OSO and even at one of the awards function where Amitabh was made to sit in tha last row and SRK was the organizer along with some dubai “bhai”. I mean there has to be a limit where one should go and draw a demaration line. In that sense, it was always SRK who can’t accept amitabh’s popularity and want himself to be in his shoes. Do u feel whatever he did was correct? Amitabh has always accepted that aamir, SRK and Salman are all doing very well for themselves. It’s the young blood who try to act fresh with him & try to be in his shoes. Come on, if u have guts, form ur own niche, why copy anyone?
And Bachchan deservingly won a national award for Black and you are the only won saying otherwise becuase he won 304 award for Black. All can’t be wrong buddy and then the audience verdict. If u can rate SRK’s paheli as great, then i think ur being unfair towards bachchan’s black.
And contrary to what u feel, I have not liked Bachchan of 80’s as much as I do now. Because its’ only now that he is experimening wuth different roles and what an actor has come out of him? It’s for everyone to see….Just because a movie doesn’t do well, you can’t negate his acting for sure. That would be criminal. And now really, my respect, adulation and for him has just doubled. I wonder if anyone would be able to reach that heights….
Comment by Suraj on 24 June 2008:
Correction….becuase he won 3-4 awards for Black that year….
Comment by Mustafa on 24 June 2008:
Wrong Suraj Shah Rukh Khan was not organizer of any Award show. Organizer made Amitabh sit in last row and amar singh was very angry, so Shah Rukh Khan was sent to sort out the problem which he could not.
As for Stardom Shah Rukh Khan is last Super Star after that Super Star thing will finish as no actor has that charisma.
Comment by Suraj on 24 June 2008:
Mustafa,
Thanks for the clarification. And what about Manoj Kumar’s insult? I know he went to sort out the problem there as well? Was he really innocent???
Comment by Mustafa on 24 June 2008:
Mr. Suraj I don’t agree that Aamir, Akshay and Hrithik are better actors than SRK. Aamir and Akshay has not given a single performance which is comparable to Chak De! India and Swades. If we talk about Lagaan, we remember the Movie not Aamir Khan acting. Hrithik was very good in Koi Mil Gaya.
Comment by Mustafa on 24 June 2008:
That was a Joke which went wrong. Even before shooting that Manoj Kumar was asked to see that shot, which he didn’t saw at that time and after that he made a issue of that scene.
Comment by Mustafa on 24 June 2008:
Still Shah Rukh Khan showed graciouness and apologised to him.
Comment by Mustafa on 24 June 2008:
And did you saw Zee Cine Award Rekha told SRK to touch her feat and SRK did that. He could have easily said give my Award and let me speak.
Comment by Suraj on 24 June 2008:
Mustafa,
COme on buddy, what logic is this? 16yrs??? I agree that SRK is way ahead of one time actors like Kumar Gaurav, Rahu Roy etc who could not sustain themselves for 10 yrs even. But my dear friend even Aamir ahs spent those many years, Anil kapoor has spent more than 20 yrs, jackie, rishi kapoor, ajay devgan have all spent that much time and are you saying that they are not stars? It’s just that indian inustry is in great need to actors and with not much saleable actors they have to work with existing actors again and again. And no body has given hits continuously since 16yrs, but still they are there and all of them are there, not just srk. It’s just that the price of an actor varies depending upon the latest fri result.
Infact i can vouch for the fact that even Zayed khan, fardee khan will compete 16 yrs or more…So????
Comment by Mustafa on 24 June 2008:
But what about there Box Office are they Consistent No. In some year they give Hit and for 2 or 3 years remain quite. Shah Rukh Khan for 16 years have given continuous Hits. That is why his achievement is Bigger.

hey suraj,
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.
I can give more if you need.Digest this much initially.othewise you would have dehydtartion
Comment by Suraj on 24 June 2008:
Yes certainly and that’s why he is a bigger superstar. I am not denying that Mustafa. But my arguement was little different. I was debating on his acting standard as such whihc is below par from a superstar’s perspective. And that’s why Amitabh’s stature is way above him becuase he has remained a superstar as well as a superactor that he’s proving now…at age 66…..Dilip Kumar has also done that to some extent…And that’s why he is a great actor. That’s what i am saying…to reach that level, one should be a good actor because stardom will go ways once the youth finishes off. After that SRK has to depend on his acting skills alone….I hope u will also agree with me on this, my friend…
Comment by Mustafa on 24 June 2008:
Very well Said Jai. He is Biased which he showed by saying this ” I agree that SRK is way ahead of one time actors like Kumar Gaurav, Rahu Roy etc who could not sustain themselves for 10 yrs even.”
Comment by jai on 24 June 2008:
akshay kumar is a hype and hype is over with tashan bombing at the boxoffice {flop}
and now he is back in to his nest
look at akshay record 85 films 13 hits
leave actor,he is not even a superstar
Comment by jai on 24 June 2008:
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.
Comment by Mustafa on 24 June 2008:
Suraj that is your thought according to billions Shah Rukh Khan acting standard is way head of this current generation of actors and I am including Aamir Khan, Akshay Kumar, Anil Kapoor, etc in that. I hope u will also agree with me on this, my friend…
Comment by jai on 24 June 2008:
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..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!!
Comment by Suraj on 24 June 2008:
Mustafa,
There is no need for you to get offended really…
My line of thinking is not going in line with u as u are only giving me facts of his popularity…Nothing else. Other actors like Salman have also been rewarded in some or the other way….He was the 7th most handsome guys in the world…But all this is not something which i dont know already. Stars do get famous and that’s why they are famous.
My point is that SRK despite being in the industry for 16 yrs, have not given notable acting worth performances other than Swades, Chak De and kabhi Haan Kabhi naa…Do u feel that 3 films in 16 yrs is a good statistic????
Comment by jai on 24 June 2008:
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.
Comment by Mustafa on 24 June 2008:
Suraj I have not sceen any actor of this generation who have given performance comparable to Chak De! India and Swades. Just goes to show Shah Rukh Khan is ahead as an actor from many. I hope u will also agree with me on this, my friend…
Comment by jai on 24 June 2008:
so suraj who has perfomance like devdas,swades,chakde india has any one so plz let me know
no one has match of these three perfomance
Comment by Rajeev on 24 June 2008:
Suraj,
You are in a state of Mind ,where every thing done by SRK seems negetive where everything done by Amiatbh seems positive.
I dont think Manoj Kumars secne in OSO was insulting.It was really funny and the audience has really enjoyed it.Ask any audience for clarification.Secondly ,if at all Manoj was insulted,SRK was the first person to apologise him.Right??

You are talking which is not making sense to me. As an actor he has given many memorable performances which i have mentioned and according to you that are not. But for others it is.

Suraj,
There is a seroius question and i hope you would answer honestly.
What is acting???
What is great acting??
What is the yard stick of acting??
who decides what is good acting and what is bad acting????
Comment by jai on 24 June 2008:
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.

Guys,
Heartening to see that stars have blind followers to do not siwh to see mirrors of their idol but prefer to see them on screen because screen will never show the truth but a mirror will. Enjoy ur time with ur fav. stars. It’s good to see handful of people supporting SRK’s acting??? really ….
The truth is that SRK or any other actor will never be able to recreate the magic of Amitabh ever. He is like a helley’s comet that comes once ina life time. Where as when SRK is there, u will always have an aamir or a hrithik or a akshay moving alongside.
Comment by Mustafa on 24 June 2008:
My point is that SRK being in the industry for 16 yrs, have given many notable performances. Do u feel that is not a good statistic????
Top 5 Performances (2000 - 2007)
Chak De! India
Swades
Devdas
Don - The Chase Begins Again
Mohabbtein
Top 5 Performances (1992 - 1999)
Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge
Darr
Pardes
Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa
Baazigar
Comment by Suraj on 24 June 2008:
Funny that some zombies are comparing SRK’s today with Amitabh’s today….and that too in terms of BO.
May i pl. state that kindly compare SRK 20 yrs hence with Amitabh of today. I can say for sure that BIG B will win hands down in terms of collections. SRK at 65 ???would he be there still? That’s a big question? Very doubtfull.
Very good night guys….Time to go home….I have wasted enough time but hope that u have been aprrised of the harsh facts.

The truth is that Hrithik Roshan or any other actor will never be able to recreate the magic of Shah Rukh Khan ever. He is like a helley’s comet that comes once ina life time. Where as when Hrithik Roshan is there, u will always have an Akshay Kumar or a Shahid Kapur or a Aamir Khan moving alongside.
Comment by jai on 24 June 2008:
What a Performances this is called a Great Actor + Real Super Star. Way to go:-
BAAZIGAR
“The biggest strength of the movie is Shah Rukh Khan’s superlative performance. It really raises the bar of the movie. BAAZIGAR also witnesses the rising of a new star in the form of Shah Rukh Khan who has the power to carry a film solely on his shoulders.”
KABHI HAAN KABHI NAA
“Shah Rukh Khan gives a wonderful performance; his sense of comedic timing is perfect in each scene. Most of the film, barring the romance scenes, requires him to be comedic and his talent is evident there.”
DILWALE DULHANIA LE JAYENGE
“Shah Rukh Khan does a wonderful job, in both his dancing and his acting.”
RAM JAANE
“Shah Rukh Khan performance as Ram Jaane is just amazing, he looked like a thug, he talked like a gangster, he acted like a criminal, and no one could have played this character better.”
YES BOSS
“Shah Rukh Khan has played his character excellent. He has displayed all of his talents in a nutshell as Rahul. Serious, Sad and Angry as well as Humorous and Excited are played with delicacy and enthusiasm by Shah Rukh Khan. Only his role in Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge has come close to this movie.”
PARDES
“Shah Rukh Khan has given a flawless performance. His acting as Arjun is subtle yet very powerful.”
DIL TO PAGAL HAI
“Shah Rukh Khan dominates the movie. His role as Rahul is played valiantly and may be deserving of an award.”
DUPLICATE
“Shah Rukh Khan has played both characters so distinctly that the audience has no difficulty differentiating between the two.”
Kuch Kuch Hota Hai
“Shah Rukh Khan is almost perfect in his role as Rahul and balances both the archie-ish college kid and later, the widower looking out for his daughter at a even pitch. He makes people laugh, cry through his emotions. It is one of his most accessible and charming performances in recent times.Undoubtedly the best performance of the year.”
BAADSHAH
“Shah Rukh Khan has done terrific job. It’s difficult to imagine anyone else carrying off the role with such conviction.”
JOSH
“Shah Rukh Khan excels as Max. He looks the character and performs it with utmost sincerity. This is undoubtedly one of the best performances of his career.”
ASOKA
“Shah Rukh Khan essays his part with enthusiasm. It won’t be wrong to state that this is amongst his finest performances.”
DEVDAS
“Shah Rukh Khan is mindblowing as Devdas. He plays his character with such finesse and aplomb that it is sheer delight to watch him. He evokes the right kind of emotions in the viewers’ hearts, never once going overboard. He looks splendid and mesmerises the audience with his acting in many scenes. As a man madly in love, he proves that there could have been no better choice than him for the role.”
CHALTE CHALTE
“CHALTE CHALTE clearly belongs to Shah Rukh Khan, an actor par excellence. One actually runs out of adjectives and personifications if asked to describe this performance by the actor. Clearly his most natural and likeable performance since DILWALE DULHANIYA LE JAYENGE, Shah Rukh Khan surrenders himself completely to the script and delivers a performance that is bound to be a big hit with one and all.”
MAIN HOON NAA
“MAIN HOON NAA reinforces your confidence in Shah Rukh Khan, the actor, the star. Portraying a mass-appealing character, the actor gives his best shot and delivers yet another power-packed performance. The role not only does full justice to his status as the country’s super-star, but also as a performer. Besides, the two stunts in the film [his introduction and towards the finale] will silence his hardcore critics who felt that the actor was more comfortable handling the DILWALE DULHANIA LE JAYENGE, KUCH KUCH HOTA HAI and KAL HO NAA HO kind of roles.”
VEER - ZAARA
“VEER-ZAARA is another feather in Shah Rukh Khan’s well decorated cap. The actor enacts the challenging role with amazing ease, putting his best foot forward and emerging trumps. It would indeed be difficult to imagine any other actor essaying the two diverse parts. Simply unforgettable!”
SWADES
“Shah Rukh Khan is extremely likeable. He stands firm on his feet in dramatic sequences, confirming yet again that he’s not merely a super-star, but a super actor as well.”
PAHELI
“If you ever had an iota of doubt about Shah Rukh Khan’s versatility, it would evaporate the moment you watch PAHELI. This is amongst Shah Rukh Khan’s most accomplished performances ever. He is fabulous as the ghost and equally convincing as the bewildered husband.”
DON - THE CHASE BEGINS AGAIN
“Shah Rukh Khan’s performance in the film is expectedly outstanding. It is one of the most stylish performance of his entire career. As Don he is ruthless and cunning and as Vijay his dialogue delivery and comic timing are worth applauding. Hats off to him for playing the Don and Vijay effortlessly. It would not be wrong to say that Don could not be Don without Shah Rukh Khan.”
CHAK DE! INDIA
“Shah Rukh Khan is the soul of CHAK DE! INDIA. What you see on screen would be half of what it is without this matchless actor. He makes you feel what you are supposed to feel. A performance that’s sure to go down as one of his finest works so far.”
Om Shanti Om
“Shah Rukh Khan has given a superlative performance and once again shows why he is called Baadshah of bollywood. He is par excellence and entertains the audience from the word go. He does a superb job in his double role and carries the whole film on his shoulders. He is soul of the film and you can see him doing the things in a very natural and confident way. His portrayal of eccentricity as a super star is just fabulous.”
And the Great Performances continues by the Legend of Indian Cinema King Khan

I have asked you some questions.I belive you would answer them quickly.
1.What is acting???
2.What is great acting??
3.What is the yard stick of acting??
4.who decides what is good acting and what is bad acting????
5.Does the performance in romantic role doesnt qualify as acting??
6.Is Only heavy duty emotional roles qualify as acting??
7.Why does BIG B performace in SILSILa is termed as good acting,where as SRKs DDLJ performace is discounted???
8.Isnt SRKS DDLJ is one of the finest performance of all time??
I need some objectivity from Bacchan fans.Kindly answer this nobjectively without dodging them.
Comment by rajeev on 24 June 2008:
My definition of acting.
ANYTHING THAT TOUCHES YOUR HESART.
When something touches our heart we appreciate it.On that count SRK is being appreciated by the public as they throng to the theaters.Discounting this fact is not only foolish but pure case of propaganda.
Who are the critics???A bunch of jokers???
They cant decide what is acting is all about.What is the meaning of acting when there would be no body to see it.(Dozens of naseeruddin and OM pURI movies)
These guys are self proclaimed great actors.( NAseeruddin shah,Om Puri etc)
I still belive BIG was one of the finest actors in Bollywood.But i having said that ,his acting powers habve detiorated drastically in last 5-6 years.
Because people do not like his acting,his movies are bombing left right and centre.
The sooner BIG B realises this,better for him.
Comment by rajeev on 24 June 2008:
SURAJ,
We dont need great actors in this indutstry who will bore us by no count.
We need entertainers.
See what happned to Dasavataram.Kamal hassan is one of the so called great actors.(By Critics)But why does always Rajni kanth movie do bumper biz even if he is not a great actor from critics point of view.
The answer is Rajni is a great entertainer.And this is what importnat to the public.
We need more rajni kanths ,SRKs in the industry so that the industry can fare better finacilly.
Even i always belive that BIG B is a better entertainers than a good actor.As long as BIG B was entertainig the public his did well at the BO.
The moment he staterd to please the critics,the public stared to reject him.

Listen friends, its not only the films success has made SHAH RUKH KHAN;….KING KHAN… but its other factors as well, plus his all these magic and charmis spread over years and years damn hard work, and griefs & sorrows and physical pains. And despite of these things he carried on and on with the same brave and charming dimpled face. So, one doesn’t become a STAR or KING KHAN, within one year’s only one or 2,3 films hit and that as well not the solo one, other cast had a great part in his hit films…Such as in WELCOME it was Aneel Kapoor & Nana Patikar, in HEY BABY Fardeen Khan & Ritesh Deshmukh, and BHOOL BHULAIYAN, no way it was a hit. So, not at all there is no comparison between him & KING KHAN. And friends you are fighting over only a year fame actor, what about the other years achievements of his life? Can you count them as well. Its not that we don’t like Akshay, he iiiisss oookkkay. But the comparison between him and SHAH RUKH KHAN is like east and west.Hope that will calm this hot and boiling discussion. GOD bless us all.
Now please don’t start swearing and calling bad names, if you kid want to swear, by all means you can swear at me. If it makes you happy kids.

Arun you saw that Clash in Don VS Jaaneman which had Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar and you know who Won your Favourite Shah Rukh Khan. So now the Clash is Half Shah Rukh Khan VS Full Akshay Kumar.
Comment by Suraj on 26 June 2008:
Guys, I am here….hello everyone. I just happened to read mr. rajeev’s questions asked to me…
Well my dear friend, let me answer you in a reasonable manner. Acting…whatever great , good or bad is as much as effective if any person is able to succesfully breathe the character he has portrayed on screen. SO much so that people coming out of cinema, should remember the character which was played and not the star. For eg: When you see Sarkar or a Sarkar raj or a Black, you don’t remember Amitabh playing that role but Subhash Nagre actually. That is what is important and acting is something which should leave an indellible impression on the audience. And Amitabh with every movie of his has been doing that with ofcourse the exception of Aag etc. He is human so mistakes do happen.
But with SRK, you always see the star on screen not the character that he plays. I hope I am able to convey wat I mean becuase now don’t start naming the characters of his films.
Regarding romantic roles, an actor should be able to portray all roles with equal ease, not oly romantic or emotional roles. Ofcourse, romance is part of acting, but where SRK fails as an actor is the versatility part which he’s unable to show. Of he can do fine romance and doesn’t need to prove there, but is that all? People do not want to see his romance everytime. There are different aspect to acting too. FOr eg:, can you imagine, SRK playing the role of Subhash nagre? Can u see him playing the role of Amitabh’s Black? Can you visualize him in a toughie role that of a say, cop? Remember one 2 ka four…he tried playing that providing some what deviation from his usual self, but did not connect with the audience at all. Amitabh in his hey days could play all variety of roles without thinking of banners, directors credibility etc. And don’t believe me. Even SRK would himself realize this that ot match Amitabh is tru sense, he needs to master each and every aspect of the craft. During young age, it’s very easy to be succesfful becuase one can dance, sing a song etc, but once you are no more a lead actor, one has to know the nuances of fine acting to be able to justify the role that you are playing. And for most of the logical people, that would be the real test for SRK.
Bottom line being:
SRK is what Amitabh has been successfully &
Amitabh is what SRK wants to be but has a long way to achieve..(remember the age factor)!!!
Goody bye!!!
Hope I am able to put my thought across to you effectively.
Comment by Mustafa on 26 June 2008:
Amitabh in entire Career cann’t match Shah Rukh Khan Top 3 Performances Chak De! India, Swades and Devdas. Forget Black it is not comparable to these 3 Performances. As for Sarkar Raj He was ordinary any one could have done that role om puri or Danny, etc.

4.who decides what is good acting and what is bad acting????

Comment by Rajeev on 26 June 2008:
Suraj,
In Sarkar ,i agree,BigB s performance was excellent.But same cant be said about Sarkar Raj and Black too.
Infact Blacks characheter was over the top and was irritating(To be very honest)
Yes Amitabh has done some really good roles and equally some bad roles too.Same is the case with SRK.
Dont you thing SRks a charachter in Bazzigar was good acting??
What about Darr and Kabhi Haan and Kabhi Na???
To carry off a charachter like Raj in DDLJ ,it needs confidence and talent.
What about Devdas??
Swades???
KANK s charachter was complex and unlike SRKs true personality.Dont you you think SRK carried it well.
Comment by Rajeev on 26 June 2008:
Suraj,
You will agree with me that,Amitabh repeated himself with upmteen no of Angry Youg Man characheter in his peak.
Only after his superstar tag was no more with him,he started to experiment with different roles.
Having said that,i must say that BIG B s acting capabilities has deriorated drastically over last 5-7 years.

I disagree with your statements.
Lets take SRKs last 6 moveies.
1.OSO- Double role.One of 70;s and one of todays times.
2.CDI-Hocky Coach( No romance)
3.DON-(No romance)
4.KANK( The movie was based on fidelity and its a different kind of romance)
5.Paheli
6.Swades(No romance)
the characheters played in those movies were different to each other and in each of them SRK excelled as an actor.
The audineces liked them and so as the critics.
SRK got 2 best actos awards our of these 6 and collected a total of 600 CR nett gross at the BO worlwide.
Do you really think,audiences all over are fools to go to wtach movies of a person ,who according to you is a non actor???
Are you trying to underestimate the intelligence of the general public???
Comment by Suraj on 26 June 2008:
Rajeev,
I think I have answered most of your questions…
Q 1,2, 5 & 6 are already answered somewhat and regarding Q 3, there can’t be any real answer as you know that the moment there is any standard set, it means no one can better that which is untrue & would prove detrimental for an actor’s growth. But there can be classics such as Naseer in Paar, Katha, Dilip in Devdas, Shakti, Kamal Haasan in Nayakan & Pushpak, Amitabh in Black, Sarkar/SR, Agneepath, Khakee, Baghban, Shakti, then Darsheel in TZP and definitely SRK in Swades.
Q7… You are said it and you have yourself answered it. It’s not me and you who decided just now. It’s been decided by critics, by audience. Else you tell me that Silsilaa was not hit, but still today, people remember it as a classic. SRK’s rols in DDLJ is something which other actors hae also played. Rajesh Khanna played it with that kind of body language, Dev Anand played it. (When I say “played it” doesn’t mean that they have played it similarly but the effect was same. Since they are separate individuals, obviously their styles have to be different). Just becuase DDLJ was a massive success, doesn’t mean that we can say SRK’s performance as his best as well. And
No, SRK’s best performance was Swades in my wisdom and that answers your last question also.
So the point is that we want SRK to do meaningful cinema, ofcourse he has full rights to do succesful cinema in OSO, MHN but just because they are commercial successes, doesn’t warrant SRK to be a good actor in them too. When he has done good acting, we have agreed like in Kabhi Haan Kabhi naa, Swades, Chak De.
Darr and Baazigar were good ones as films as it hasd good songs, locales etc…but if u See Darr, you will see shades of Nana Patekar in Darr a lot and infact he himself has agreed that he copied him. In baazigar, the flick of his neck reminds you of Rajesh Khanna which again SRK himself has agreed. I am not saying this. So the point is that, there could be a different treatment and interpretation of doing a kind of role in general and that clicks with the audience. For eg: SRK’s stammerring act worked very well with audience, but then he kept on doing the same in other films also. That is where monotony comes. An actor should be able to surprise you as an actor. Copying is also an art and full marks to SRK to carry off that as well, but where is his own style?
Like I said before, SRK post 50 would be interesting to see and judged by all of us. He can reach BIG B’s status but for that he has to do everything else that he’s been doing now. Becuase he can’t play a romantic role everytime…
Comment by Suraj on 26 June 2008:
Rajeev,
DON had romactic track and let me remind you that playing a suave, villainy act is not difficult. You just need to show your mean side. and then DON’s moderate success was attributed to the slick style and advanced technology used for the film. And the one where he had to show his acting really never came out. I am talking about the 2nd role of “bhaiya”. Just compare that role with Amitabh’s. When he was chewing a beetle in the film and mouthing dialogue, it looked so real and authentic where as SRK’s show was all made up. He tried hard but could not match Amitabh’s show at all.
Comment by Suraj on 26 June 2008:
Rajeev,
See again you guys start talking about collections, awards etc. Tell me, I ask you one straight thing….
Do you consider SRK or an Akshay superior to Naseeruddin Shah who possibly hasn’t won a single filmfare award and whose single film has not been a blockbuster ever?
There is a difference between a star and an actor…This is what I am trying to convey. Rajesh Khanna was a star, superstar, so was Rajendra Kumar. But they can;t be called super actors as romance was their forte and they were accepted for that. Else why do you think Rajesh Khanna & Rajendra Kumar perished once they got old? SRK is again follwoing on that romantic image. To that effect, I would rate Aamir still one up on SRK as Aamir has much vulnerable and chocolaty face than SRK’s. Plus he has limitation of a short height. An he has done well to reinvent himself. Now no more, you associate Aamir with a romantic image post Dil, QSQT. Tell me, do you???Eve Akshay has on time reinvented himself which will give him a lease of another 10 years. We want same for SRK also as you see SRK’s movies always have the right ingredient in other actors as well, be it a debu actress, a new villian in Arjun Rampal, couple of dozen actors singing a lavish song etc. He is not one man show at all of late. For SRK to be successful post his prime age, he needs to different cinema and be accepted in that. Else comparisons with Amitabh are definitely odiuos at this point of time. Sorry to say!!!

Are you trying to underestimate the intelligence of the general public???
Answer by Mustafa
Yes Suraj is underestimating the intelligence of the general public and thinks He is the Final Verdict. This is the main problem of Amitabh Bachchan Fans.
Just give me one Performance of Amitabh Bachchan Career which is comparable to Chak De! India, Swades and Devdas and the answer would be none. Forget these 3 Classic Performances of Indian Cinema History, Amitabh Bachchan in his entire Career doesn’t have that Performance which is comparable to Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge and Darr which is also the Classic Performances of Indian Cinema History.
Even in Don Shah Rukh Khan was much better than Amitabh. For 8 Mintues Role of Vijay you are comparing 2 hours 10 minutes role of Amitabh Vijay in Don, just goes to show your Biased nature. In totality Shah Rukh Khan was great in Don and Amitabh was okay.
Comment by Rajeev on 26 June 2008:
Suraj,
“”"Do you consider SRK or an Akshay superior to Naseeruddin Shah who possibly hasn’t won a single filmfare award and whose single film has not been a blockbuster ever? “”"
This is where i disagree with you.Yes i rate AK and SRK more that Naseeruddin Shah because ,ticket paying public go to theatres to get entertained ,not to get bored.
Naseruddin Shah is a boring actor and sucks.(he might be a great actor according to the critics like you)Audience doesnt like him and his acting.That was the rresaon he was a failure as a lead actor.True some movies were really good and even i liked them.But most of his movies were suckers.
So i believe if something is not liked by the audience then its not acting.
If the audience likes it ,then and then only it is qualified as acting.
For me i will spend my money any day to go and watch a SRK or AK movie than a naseeruddin shah or Kamal Hassan movie.
I can spend my money on Bacchan of 70’s (He was a entertainer then) .I will not spend money on bacchan of todays time(So called great acting which sucks)
I felt like loosing money after watching Black .I felt like being cheated after watching Ekalavya(What a horrible movie and performance).Bacchans charachter was more suited to be a GHOST than a royal guard in Ekalavya.
After watching Ekalavya ,my head didnt stop reeling for atleast 6 hrs.
So if great acting is all about giving shock treatment,then i would rather watch Salman Khan in Partner than heavy dose ,nonesencical performance of Bacchans.

Mustafa, Your comments do not demand any explanation from me as you have just reversed my comments and pasted in your name. I can appreciate your love for Shahrukh & the desperation, but all I can react is just smile at your comments, dude.
Take care!!!
Comment by Mustafa on 26 June 2008:
Well said Rajeev. I fully agree with you.

Are you trying to underestimate the intelligence of the general public???
Answer by Mustafa
Yes Suraj is underestimating the intelligence of the general public and thinks He is the Final Verdict. This is the main problem of Amitabh Bachchan Fans.
Just give me one Performance of Amitabh Bachchan Career which is comparable to Chak De! India, Swades and Devdas and the answer would be none. Forget these 3 Classic Performances of Indian Cinema History, Amitabh Bachchan in his entire Career doesn’t have that Performance which is comparable to Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge and Darr which is also the Classic Performances of Indian Cinema History.
Even in Don Shah Rukh Khan was much better than Amitabh. For 8 Mintues Role of Vijay you are comparing 2 hours 10 minutes role of Amitabh Vijay in Don, just goes to show your Biased nature. In totality Shah Rukh Khan was great in Don and Amitabh was okay.
