its not fare
samia read the heading it is not by mustafa it is by imfrz
It’s high time that Amitabh Fans should accept Facts. Amitabh Payed Big Amount to BBC to give him Millenium Super Star Tag. Basically it was Millenium Flop Star.
if samia u want to say grt stuff say it to imfrz
There is no one like Amitabh
Komal Nahta
“Amitabh is Amitabh”.
“There’s no one like Amitabh”.
“Nobody can match Amitabh Bachchan’s popularity”.
These statements are almost run-of-the-mill today. Not just in the film trade but also among the general public.
What is it that made Amitabh so different from the others of his ilk?
Why, in the last 30 years, have we never had any actor who has had the same fan following and who could clearly step into his shoes? What is it that really made Bachchan stand above all the other stars who have come after the superstar first made an appearance on the screen in 1969 in Saat Hindustani?
QUITE simply, the answer is Bachchan’s string of box office hits.
One after the other, the actor’s films hit the jackpot with such sustained regularity that in the seventies and eighties, Amitabh Bachchan became the safest bet for producers, distributors and exhibitors alike.
I use the word ‘alike’ to differentiate the scene that existed when Bachchan was the numero uno and the one that exists today. For instance, a Salman Khan today may guarantee mega bucks for the producer of his films but there is no like guarantee that distributors and exhibitors of his starrers will also make money.
As in the case of his latest release, Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega, while producer Sajid Nadiadwala made comfortable crores in the film, several distributors and exhibitors who invested in it stood to lose.
Ditto in the case of films of other topline stars like Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan or Ajay Devgan, Anil Kapoor, Sunny Deol. For that matter, anybody else.
Why, even current heart-throb Hrithik Roshan’s Fiza did not get for its distributors and exhibitors (barring Bombay circuit) what it fetched for its producers.
THAT was not the case with Bachchan flicks. The only other actor who was close in popularity to Amitabh was Rajesh Khanna. The industry has never witnessed superstars of the like of these two.
When hit films of other heroes used to do business of Rs 1 crore in a major circuit, Amitabh’s average flicks used to cross the crore mark! Just a few examples of such average grossers of the superstar: Do Aur Do Paanch, Toofan, Gangaa Jamunaa Saraswathi…
Second, the mere name of the superstar was enough to draw in the crowds into cinemas in his heyday.
Today, no hero can boast of such charisma as to lure the audiences to the theatres on the sheer strength of their names.
Shah Rukh Khan’s home production, Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani, could not even manage decent houses on the opening day, leave alone full houses. Anil Kapoor has never really drawn initial crowds; his starrers usually pick up by word of mouth publicity if they are good.
Even action heroes like Ajay Devgan and Akshay Kumar have had to remain content with dismal openings of their flicks on more occasions than one. But the Bachchan magic was one of a kind.
Whether it was Prakash Mehra’s Zanjeer in 1973 — after which there was no looking back for the star of stars. Or Manoj Kumar’s multistar cast Roti Kapada Aur Makaan in 1974; Yash Chopra’s evergreen Deewaar; Ramesh Sippy’s all-time blockbuster Sholay in 1975; Bachchan’s first film with Rekha, Do Anjaane in 1976; or Manmohan Desai’s biggest entertainer, Amar Akbar Anthony in 1977 — there were two common features in all these hits: Amitabh Bachchan’s towering presence and a bumper box office initial draw.
Don, Trishul and Muqaddar Ka Sikandar made 1978 a memorable year for the Big B. The following year may not have been as good but Bachchan, nevertheless, did deliver Mr Natwarlal and Suhaag in the last year of the seventies.
THE eighties were equally exciting for the superstar who did not seem to age at all. Today, when heroes find it difficult to hold their own for even ten years, Amitabh Bachchan ruled the box office for over two decades as the undisputed Maharaja of movies with no close second!
Ram Balram, Laawaris, Naseeb, Khud-dar, Andhaa Kaanoon, Coolie, Sharaabi and Mard were some of the great hits in the first half of the eighties.
OF course, when Amitabh Bachchan reigned supreme, films did not have to face the opposition of video and cable piracy as today. Cinema-going was the only and cheapest form of entertainment for the masses who identified with the angry young man.
But where films of the great actor did not have to fight the piracy battle or even the opposition of countless satellite channels, the media hype, too, was far less in his case. He did not have every television channel covering him or his films because there were simply no satellite channels. (He even went off press for a few years but for that, he had himself to blame.)
YET another factor that went in Bachchan’s favour in making him the darling of all sections of the society was his unbelievable versatility.
It is not for nothing that Big B became a superstar. Although he was adored in angry young man roles, he never let down his fans in non-action films, too.
Comedy, like action, was his forte and if he could represent the frustrations of the helpless youth of those times, he could as well play the comedian with equal elan. Chupke Chupke and Amar Akbar Anthony come to mind instantly when one thinks of Bachchan’s flair for comedy. With the same ease, Amitabh played the intense mature lover as in Kabhi Kabhie and Silsila.
THE range which Bachchan portrayed in his performances remains unmatched even today.
Like the superstar’s fees those days! The actor used to command a remuneration which was more than double that commanded by the actor who was second in popularity.
It was Amitabh who started the trend of an actor taking the distribution rights of a major territory like Bombay in lieu of his remuneration. And while distribution rights were, in those days, generally sold for ten years, the superstar got perpetual rights as his fees.
Today, films do businesses of Rs 15 and Rs 20 crore per major territory. But in the seventies and eighties, when 1 crore was the magical figure, several of Bachchan starrers touched and even crossed the 1-crore mark. Three or 4 films of his even touched Rs 2 and Rs 2.5 crore. Of course, Sholay did a business of over Rs 4 crore in its first run. Add to that a couple of more crores in its repeat runs!
AMITABH is also the last star to have had a universal appeal that cut across geographical boundaries. Whether it was the man on the street in Ludhiana in the North or Latur in the midwest, whether it was a company executive in Porbandar in Western India or a college student studying in Patna in East India, the fondness for Bachchan was the same.
Today, a Sunny Deol runs more in Northern India because of his action image, a Govinda is a hot favourite of UP and Bihar whereas a Shah Rukh Khan flick records generally dull collections in Bihar.
That is to say, Amitabh’s charm affected the audiences in the North, South, East and West in the same way. (Now, whether Hrithik will be able to sustain his initial all-India acceptance is to be seen.)
Why, just in India, across the seven seas too, Amitabh reigned supreme for over two decades. His superhit stage shows bore testimony to his immense popularity the world over.
AGAIN, today, when jubilees are more manipulated than the truth, Amitabh’s films celebrated genuine silver, golden and platinum jubilees. Amar Akbar Anthony in 1997 celebrated silver jubilee in as many as nine cinemas of Bombay — a record unparalleled even today.
As many as six of Amitabh’s films released in 1978 celebrated jubilees — yet another record, which remains unequalled till today.
And he had a total of seven releases that year. The six jubilees were Khoon Pasina, Don, Ganga Ki Saugand, Trishul, Kasme Vaade and Muqaddar Ka Sikandar.
As if the six jubilees weren’t proof enough of the superstar’s stardom, the nationwide hysteria that followed a life-threatening injury on the sets of Coolie saw the entire nation praying for this man’s recovery.
Amitabh got a new lease of life after he recovered from the accident.
The film, of course, went on to become a runaway hit. Manmohan Desai played up to people’s sentiments and froze the action shot in which Amitabh was injured.
An aside: Punit Issar, who accidentally caused the near-fatal injury to Bachchan became a household name thereafter and also bagged a number of roles. He is today better known as Duryodhan in the epic television serial, Mahabharat.
EVEN after Bachchan’s downswing began in the late eighties, the actor managed to make successes out of ordinary films like Shahenshah in 1988, Aaj Ka Arjun in 1990 and Hum in 1991.
Bade Miyan Chote Miyan in 1998 might have crossed the average line because of Govinda’s antics but Amitabh Bachchan’s towering presence in the David Dhawan flick cannot be overlooked.
A three-year sabbatical in the nineties was followed by a disastrous comeback with his first home production, ABCL’s Mrityudaata, a film which Amitabh’s critics condemned as the death of the actor. But BMCM and Major Saab gave him a breather.
With Kaun Banega Crorepati airing now on Star Plus, the ageing actor’s fan following has increased tremendously once again.
Critics derided Amitabh’s foray into television and predicted the end of his career on the big screen.
Far from it.
For the superstar is now playing his age in the true sense — whether in Aditya Chopra’s due-for-release Mohabbatein or Karan Johar’s Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham.
For another, he is doing films with directors who are among the most reliable in the country today — something which Bachchan failed to do for the good part of the nineties.
yar mustafa not to be harsh on some on
jo hai ossh ko vaisay rehnay de

You questioned us and we have given you answer go home and cry.
I could only laugh reading the false and distorted post by Imfrz (with Mustafa backing him senselessly) because imagine guys, If BIG B was such a flop actor, then how did the world acknowldege him as a legend, how did the whole industry claim him to be a one many industry.
Sorry, Imfrz..but ur analsysis is totally flawed because u have mentioned even Hera Pheri as a flop film. Hope Prakash Mehra doesn’t reas this otherwise he will so troubled by the ignorance of generation post 90’s who cannot have an inkling about a achivement of a phenomena called AMITABH BACHCHAN. It totally copies (is copying in the blood of SRK and his fans???) my style of SRK’s filmography with only difference….Its all HOGWOSH…and doesn’t even advocate a reading. All those anti elements like SAMIA, MUSTAFA, u and 2-3 buffoons can stay happy after reading this. but I wll just say one sentence…..You guys have even questioned the HISTORY who was the proof and who is the part to his SUCCESS….and this will always remain…So I wont be surrprised if u prove a Vinod Khanna or a jeetendra a superstar of the millenium now.
Who has claimed him One Man Industry. Media and Amitabh Pays them.
arun frnds
Not a Single Solo Blockbuster and Solo All Time Blockbuster to prove this Statement right “One Man Industry”. Amitabh pays handsomely to Media.
Arun Ibos is proved Liar Website and I expected this from you a Liar can post only from liar website.
dilip kumar has 9 filmfare best actor awards, srk has 7, amitabh has 4? So Dilip Kumar also used to buy Awards Arun will now say this.
Mustafa if you look at ABs reign.
1975-1991.
He VACATED his throne by retiring for 5 years.
DK did not retire he carried on.
NON-STOP 1975-1991, only when he retired he was off the list otherwise it would have carried on.
Compare this with SRK..
his so-called regin is shared with aamir khan, salman, hrithik, sunny deol etc.
Mustafa,
DK was a superstar but along with Raj kapoor and Dev Anand. Only Rajesh Khanna (for a short time) and BIG B have stayed numero unos….BIg B went ahead and claimed the crown of ONE MAN INDUSTRY…THE LEGEND OF BOLLYWOOD, the SUPERSTAR OF THE MILENIUM very rightly. even SRk who had no competition in 1990’s (when BIG B had retired), has failed to be a numero uno like SK-RK-DA, so obvioulsy statures of all these guys is much below than BIG B. Today, AAmir-Akshay-SRK-Hrithik constitute the top spot and not one of them can be termed a KING alone…Last year, Akshay beat SRK black and blue (even though 2007 was SRK’s best so far with OSO and CDI as successes) as he topped in the revenue generations his film made….
Hence, proved that SRK being compared with BIG B is a blunder. He has not been able to rule single handedly….

2005 - Filmfare Best Actor Award for Black
Nominated
Bachchan has been nominated as Filmfare Best Actor twenty-eight times (a record) and as Filmfare Best Supporting Actor nine times (also a record). He has also been nominated for Best Playback singer once.
mustafa filmfare awards have turned corrupt as they are voted by the public and voting is rigged.
Back then the jury gave the awards on merit.
Thats why you had anupam kher winning.
Today Anupam Kher can NEVER win a filmfare award for best actor as the procedure for winning has changed.
Today its just popular stars that win. this was not the case in the 70s and 80s.
You had winners like Naseerdun shah, anuphum kher, nana pratekar etc.
This proves that today filmfare awards are worthless!!
Rizwan & Arun continue with your Jokes but truth cann’t be changed. Amitabh had no Solo Blockbuster and Solo All Time Blockbuster.
Arun we are talking about Best Actor not entire Awards. Read first then comment.
By Mohan
I am not a SRK fan but all i can say is that Bachchan was not the star he is made out to be. I have a lot of proof with trade mags which i will provide at some time.
The first thing i would like to say is that before Amitabh entered film industry it was a family but manipulation started with Bachchan. The problem is people like me know what happened becuase we were there but what comes out after the event is not like it was.
Here is an actual glace of Bachchan’ career.
1968
Bachchan cannot make much headway in the industry so his mother asks Indira Gandhi for help the saying that her son is adamant at being a film hero but due to his looks nobody is giving him a channce. Indira goes to Dutt saab (Sunil) to see if he can do anything. Dutt Saab and Nargis are closest to Indira in film industry. Dutt saab does not have anything but he can’t say no to Indira Gandhi. He gives Bachchan a role in Reshma aur Shera. There are problems as Bachchan wants Vinod Khanna’s role but Vinod is doing Dutt Saab’s Man Ka Meet and is a favourite for him. Bachchan is relegated to the background with a role of a dumb mute but he he is now in contact with the right people and roles are coming. The roles are mainly in small films or side roles.
1969
His first release Saat Hindustani is low key.
Somehow he manages to get Anand which stars superstar Rajesh Khanna. Its a small role but a film with Kaka means in the limelight.
1970
Anand releases and does well. Its Kaka’s film but Bachchan is noticed.
1971
Dutt saab suffers big loses with Reshma aur Shera, Bachchans first film as hero Pyar Ki Kahani is a disaster, his next where he plays second lead to Navin Nishcol Parwana also does not make impact. Mehmood’s Bombay To Goa does better but does nothing for Bachchan’s career as he just does not look hero material.
1972
Sanjog, Bansi Birju, Ek nazar Raaste Ka Pathar bite the dust and how. Its pack up time.
Now Prakash Mehra and Dharamji are making a film called Samadhi. Dharamji has a script with him by Salim Javed which he wants Prakash Mehra to direct, both are very busy and give it six months to start the movie. Six months later Dharamji is doing a film called Yaadon Ki Baraat which he feels is similar to the Salim Javed scripted one so Dharamji tells Mehra who loves the script to take the script from him and make it with someone else. Prakash Mehra approaches Raaj Kumar and Dev Saab but they refuse. Mehra is in a fix when Pran Saab tells him about this lambu hero who is looking for work. Mehra is not too confident but with a good word from Pran saab, Hrishikeshda and Indira Gandhi, Mehra goes ahead and launches Zanjeer in Nov 1972, it is to be a quickie.
1973
Zanjeer is made quickly and it releases in May 1973 and after a slow start it is a hit. This is where everyone believes Bachchan became a superstar but it was nothing like that. What Zanjeer did was give him a life line. Two months later his Bande Haath bit the dust without an opening. Zanjeer was forgotten. Bachchan was not a star yet let alone superstar. Bachchan knows Zanjeer has given him a chance and he needs to consolidate. Around October 73 the Sippy’s are making a very big film with Dharamji and are looking at Shatru bhai for the supporting role. Now Dharamji is fond of Shatru bhai but Bachchan goes to Dharamji and asks him to put in a recommendation for him to the Sippys fully well knowing that Shatru is candidate No1. Dharamji puts in a recommendation for Bachchan and Sippy’s are not going to refuse Dharamji. Its only later that Shatru Bhai tells Dharamji that he was in the running for the role and Dharamji tells him if he knew that he would never have got Bachchan the role.
But Bachchan is on cloud nine, he is in Sholay and Salim Javed are accepting Bachchan for their films. He has it made and offers come from Gulshan Rai (Deewaar), B R Chopra (Zameer), Manoj Kumar (Roti Kapada Aur Makaan) and others.
The box office is still not being kind. Gehri Chaal(second lead) and Saudagar flop. Abhimaan does average business. Namak Haraam also does okay. Now the media would like to believe this is where Bachchan toppled Kaka but it was nothing like that. No doubt Bachchan was appreciated in the role but this was not the Kaka of Anand, Kaka was gone earlier with flop after flop (Maalik, Raja Rani, Mehboob Ki Mehndi, etc). Kaka had already been toppled by Dharamji so there was no question of Bachchan toppling Kaka and becoming the No1.
Media believes Zanjeer made Bachchan No1 but it was nothing like that. At the end of 73 Dharmji, Kaka, Panditji (Manoj), Jeetu bhai, Dutt Saab, Dev Saab, Chintu (Rishi) and others were all bigger then him. Alos you had the white horse Yusuf saab (Dilip Kumar) who was in self imposed exile.
Bachchan’s biggest strike was to somehow get into Sholay and this made other makers look at him because after Dharamji and Dutt saab he was the only choice for action roles as all the rest were more romantic types.
Tired writing now and will do some more in the next few days. Look out for.
1. Bachchan wanted superstar tag after Deewaar and went for kill but fell flat on his face
2. One of his biggest hits Muqqadar Ka Sikander failed to get opening in places.
3. Ramraj Nahta and B.K Adarsh the men who helped Bachchan the most.
4. Losing many battles with same day releases with contemparies.
5. Bachchan was never off media he was off Stardust which led to support from the other magazines.
6. Prakash Mehra and Manmohan Desai nearly come to blows with Naseeb and Laawaris
Arun you are such a Joker ready to comment without reading.

Jai Both have ran away after seeing Solid Proofs. Truth once again Wins. Lie as usual lost look at Rizwan and Arun they ran away.
till 1992 amitab has only won 3 best actor awards means in 22 yrs
oh hoooo
Jai,
So thank ur stars that Bachchan did not win more than 3 awards in his youth. That means his best came once he was past youth and u are questioning his form????And till 1992, he had already won 2 NATIONAL awards where as SRK now past his prime has won NONE….So if u now try to show amitabh in poor light past his prime, you are well questioning the authenticity of the filmfare award….hahahah CATCH 22 situation for u now…
Amitabh had a SOLO blockbuster and that’s a different case that people like mustafa and jai dont have balls to accept that….Atleast we accept that SRK is a superstar along with HRITHIK, along with Akshay, along with AAMIR….
Arun what Past Prime you are talking about last Year All Time Blockbuster Om Shanti Om and Blockbuster Chak De! India and in 2006 Super Hits Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna and Don - The Chase Begins Again. hahahah CATCH 22 situation for u now
even srk give all time blockbusters and blockbusters at the age of 42
does urs amitab has done that
Basically Amitabh has not given Solo All Time Blockbuster and Solo Blockbuster in his entire Career.
First find out the meaning of CATCH 22 situation? Don’t follow the aerial route of COPYING as usual Mustafa!!!!
It seems like SRK fans are burning in jealousy that SRK’s stardom has been exposed rightfully…and he has been toppled over by Akshay and Aamir recently.
Infact there is another gap in SRK’s era now….joining in year 2008 with years 1996, 1999, 2000 and 2005….as yet 2008 has been a disaster for SRK so far….so wat SUPERSTAR???I question all trades, all journalists, all critics….SRK has never been consistent in his stardom unlike Bachchan, so matter finishes….
every srk film is becoming bigger hit than the previous one
and every amitab film is becoming dull than the previous one
hahahah CATCH 22 situation for u now
JAI…………PAHELI AND SWADESH ARE RECENT FILMS SO THEY WERE FLOPS OK
AMITABH HAS GIVEN SOLO BLOCKBUSTERS IN ZANJEER & MARD…
Now u guys will say that Dara Singh was also there in mard so no blockbuster…Similraly, my dear mustafa, jai…..DDLJ had parmeet sethi and Amrish puri so what SOLO blockbuster of SRK? Moreover Kajol had bigger role, so shame on SRK that he had to hide behind Kajol’s back(an actress’s back???)
Arun new discovery by you toppled by Akshay and Aamir in what nothing. Last Year Biggest Hit Shah Rukh Khan had where was Akshay?

And if Amitabh didn’t have blockbusters, then how did he become a pehenomenon????Thank ur & SRK’s stars that still he’s light years ahead of him in acting….
Some real facts and eye opener for all and the fact that why Shah Rukh Khan is real Super Star.

“To say that Shah Rukh Khan stole the movie would be an understatement. He is phenomenal in the movie. His role of a passionate lover obsessed with Kiran who would stoop to conquer and keeps having bouts of self-pity is a tremendous effort. Starting from the stuttering uttering of I love you K-K-Ki-Kiran , to the sulking nature in presence of others, to the fire in the eyes when anybody touches Kiran, the youngster has given a mindblowing performance.”

By Mohan
I am not a SRK fan but all i can say is that Bachchan was not the star he is made out to be. I have a lot of proof with trade mags which i will provide at some time.
The first thing i would like to say is that before Amitabh entered film industry it was a family but manipulation started with Bachchan. The problem is people like me know what happened becuase we were there but what comes out after the event is not like it was.
Here is an actual glace of Bachchan’ career.
1968
Bachchan cannot make much headway in the industry so his mother asks Indira Gandhi for help the saying that her son is adamant at being a film hero but due to his looks nobody is giving him a channce. Indira goes to Dutt saab (Sunil) to see if he can do anything. Dutt Saab and Nargis are closest to Indira in film industry. Dutt saab does not have anything but he can’t say no to Indira Gandhi. He gives Bachchan a role in Reshma aur Shera. There are problems as Bachchan wants Vinod Khanna’s role but Vinod is doing Dutt Saab’s Man Ka Meet and is a favourite for him. Bachchan is relegated to the background with a role of a dumb mute but he he is now in contact with the right people and roles are coming. The roles are mainly in small films or side roles.
1969
His first release Saat Hindustani is low key.
Somehow he manages to get Anand which stars superstar Rajesh Khanna. Its a small role but a film with Kaka means in the limelight.
1970
Anand releases and does well. Its Kaka’s film but Bachchan is noticed.
1971
Dutt saab suffers big loses with Reshma aur Shera, Bachchans first film as hero Pyar Ki Kahani is a disaster, his next where he plays second lead to Navin Nishcol Parwana also does not make impact. Mehmood’s Bombay To Goa does better but does nothing for Bachchan’s career as he just does not look hero material.
1972
Sanjog, Bansi Birju, Ek nazar Raaste Ka Pathar bite the dust and how. Its pack up time.
Now Prakash Mehra and Dharamji are making a film called Samadhi. Dharamji has a script with him by Salim Javed which he wants Prakash Mehra to direct, both are very busy and give it six months to start the movie. Six months later Dharamji is doing a film called Yaadon Ki Baraat which he feels is similar to the Salim Javed scripted one so Dharamji tells Mehra who loves the script to take the script from him and make it with someone else. Prakash Mehra approaches Raaj Kumar and Dev Saab but they refuse. Mehra is in a fix when Pran Saab tells him about this lambu hero who is looking for work. Mehra is not too confident but with a good word from Pran saab, Hrishikeshda and Indira Gandhi, Mehra goes ahead and launches Zanjeer in Nov 1972, it is to be a quickie.
1973
Zanjeer is made quickly and it releases in May 1973 and after a slow start it is a hit. This is where everyone believes Bachchan became a superstar but it was nothing like that. What Zanjeer did was give him a life line. Two months later his Bande Haath bit the dust without an opening. Zanjeer was forgotten. Bachchan was not a star yet let alone superstar. Bachchan knows Zanjeer has given him a chance and he needs to consolidate. Around October 73 the Sippy’s are making a very big film with Dharamji and are looking at Shatru bhai for the supporting role. Now Dharamji is fond of Shatru bhai but Bachchan goes to Dharamji and asks him to put in a recommendation for him to the Sippys fully well knowing that Shatru is candidate No1. Dharamji puts in a recommendation for Bachchan and Sippy’s are not going to refuse Dharamji. Its only later that Shatru Bhai tells Dharamji that he was in the running for the role and Dharamji tells him if he knew that he would never have got Bachchan the role.
But Bachchan is on cloud nine, he is in Sholay and Salim Javed are accepting Bachchan for their films. He has it made and offers come from Gulshan Rai (Deewaar), B R Chopra (Zameer), Manoj Kumar (Roti Kapada Aur Makaan) and others.
The box office is still not being kind. Gehri Chaal(second lead) and Saudagar flop. Abhimaan does average business. Namak Haraam also does okay. Now the media would like to believe this is where Bachchan toppled Kaka but it was nothing like that. No doubt Bachchan was appreciated in the role but this was not the Kaka of Anand, Kaka was gone earlier with flop after flop (Maalik, Raja Rani, Mehboob Ki Mehndi, etc). Kaka had already been toppled by Dharamji so there was no question of Bachchan toppling Kaka and becoming the No1.
Media believes Zanjeer made Bachchan No1 but it was nothing like that. At the end of 73 Dharmji, Kaka, Panditji (Manoj), Jeetu bhai, Dutt Saab, Dev Saab, Chintu (Rishi) and others were all bigger then him. Alos you had the white horse Yusuf saab (Dilip Kumar) who was in self imposed exile.
Bachchan’s biggest strike was to somehow get into Sholay and this made other makers look at him because after Dharamji and Dutt saab he was the only choice for action roles as all the rest were more romantic types.
Tired writing now and will do some more in the next few days. Look out for.
1. Bachchan wanted superstar tag after Deewaar and went for kill but fell flat on his face
2. One of his biggest hits Muqqadar Ka Sikander failed to get opening in places.
3. Ramraj Nahta and B.K Adarsh the men who helped Bachchan the most.
4. Losing many battles with same day releases with contemparies.
5. Bachchan was never off media he was off Stardust which led to support from the other magazines.
6. Prakash Mehra and Manmohan Desai nearly come to blows with Naseeb and Laawaris.

Arun do you know the meaning of the Term “Solo”. Who was Hero of Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge Shah Rukh Khan no one else was Hero in the Movie means Solo Movie of Shah Rukh Khan as Hero. Who was Heroine of Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge Kajol no one else was Heroine in the Movie means Solo for Kajol.
Now show me Amitabh Solo All Time Blockbuster where He was the only Hero or Solo Blockbuster where He was the Only Hero. He had no Movie like that.
Come on Arun Reply.
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 +india collection has reached almost to 225 Cr and it is still earning. wow! that is brilliant
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.
Arun where are you reply this!

I know the meaning os SOLO and that’s why i Said that it had Parmeet Sethi also in a role that had grey shades. Even Amrish Puri had a good role. Both Parmeet and Amrish Puri have played hero centric roles in their career. So well proved that DDLJ was not SRK’s SOLO film any ways….
Also DDLJ is all time no. 5 still behind BIG B’s SHOLAY…..So it proves that BIG B is atleast 5 times bigger than SRK
Similarly, BIG B had SOLO MEGA BLOCKBUSTERS in ZANJEER, DEEWAR, COOLIE and MARD….
don-75weeks(platinum jubilee) was a SOLO BLOCKBUSTER of amitabh. It completed Platinum jubilee…what else does it make to become a blockbuster Mustafa????
Purely on acting skills its AB all the way from folk, village guy, suave and sophisticated, villaneous, you name it he has managed to pull of all the roles CONVINCINGLY. Thats the true calibre of an actor. The very fact that he is still around and going strong is AMAZING. The very fact that people still remember and adore him (young or old, boys or girls) and want to watch him is AMAZING. How many actually remember say a Rajesh Khanna, Shashi Kapoor,Vinod Khanna, Dharmendra, Jeetendra, Mithun. Its Amitabh who is still going strong. In SRK’s time, lets also not forget its not SRK alone the real toughies are Aamir, Akshay Kumar, Salman, Saif who are doing very good in India and abroad going by the Box Office. But then Amitabh is Vintage, watch him, relax and enjoy those tremendous acting skills. The voice, presentation, personality the tremendous screen presence, and most importantly the DIALOGUE DELIVERY,ahem no one comes close. The very fact that Iam writing so much and so many are writing about him comparing him with the newest breeds, is indeed a compliment to him and already makes him the best. Because you compare others only to the best. The very fact we are comparing others like SRK with AB, makes AB the best and not vice versa. Let the debate continue, it will only make good for AB. He is the star of the millenium right, Iam sure thats not for nothing.
who do you guys think,would have made it big in the early 70’s…SRK OR AMITABH?YEP!! AMITABH HAS PROVED THAT ALREADY.SRK would have struggled in the 70’s.last but not the least,suppose if AMITABH NEVER,entered the film industry in the 70’s,and instead he came in the same era as SRK,AMITABH STILL would have rocked the 21st century!!so bottom line is big b would have been a super success in both the era’s….and he still rocks at the age of 65+,i wonder what SRK would b doin at that age….may b watching IPL IN A CORNER IN HIS MANNAT!!LONG LIVE SUPERMEGASTAR AMITABH BACHCHAN,the name alone is a craze in the caribean!!
AMITABH IS AMITABH, DO NOT COMPARE TO AMITABH WITH ANY ONE, SAB SE PAHLI BAAT KE AMITABH TAK KI OONCHAI PAANE KE LIYE SAB SE PAHLE AMITABH JAISA HIGHT LAANA ZAROORI HO GA. HAKLA KHAN KO KAHO KE PAHLE HAKLANA CHODE US KE BAAD AMITABH TAK PAHCOHNE KI SOCHE. IMAGINE AT THE AGE OF 65 STILL HE IS RULING THE INDUSTRY. KOI AISA DIN NAHI HOTA HAI JIS DIN MR. BACHCHAN NEWS ME NA HO. RISHI KAPOOR KA KAHNA HAI KE AMIABTH IS ALWAYS FROM 1 TO 10 NUMBERS. DOOSORE ARTIST KA NUMBER 11 SE START HOTA HAI……SO ALL BACHCHAN FANS DO NOT CARE ABOUT WHAT OTHERS R TELLING.
