Unless I am mistaken, Z was actually insulting Aamir – and that’s fine. There’s not even a 60 second clip that’s been released so far. All you have are images. So it is a direct dig that all Aamir can do is only indulge in prosthetics. If I am wrong, then forgive me. But I am pretty confident that’s what the dig was. Guess ‘ZERO’ is out of question here.. though I am one of the biggest fans of SRK’s act in ZERO.

Sorry An Jo, I was being little sarcastic.

All of these getups in movie after movie reminds me of Gulshan grover and kamal hassan where it’s less about acting and more about props.
Think of dilip/Amitabh, they really didn’t need mustach, long beard, short beard, long hair, short hair, etc to play out a role in every single movie.
I come from old school where heros didn’t need to change their look that much. maybe i just miss those good old days and with time beginning to miss those days even more.
Again, i want to see aamir in that plain innocent look (QSQT, Lagaan).

Have high expectations from the film. I’m sure Aamir has learned well from the debacle of TOH.
Btw it’s been almost 5 years since Dangal happened. Phew! Hurry up, dude. By the time one of your dream projects is announced, a decade goes by.
This spending precious years of your life shooting a film to get the right final product gets on viewers’ nerves. HR, Ranbir, and Aamir are notorious for this. This is why fans lose interest in them.
As much as I find most of Akki’s films mediocre, he is at least giving his fans what they want, multiple times a year.

HR and Ranbir don’t spend years trying to get a product right, they’re just undisciplined and disinterested in their careers. You’d have to be an idiot to waste time on the likes of films that these two do, of course Ranbir tops HR by still shooting for that lunacy called Brahmastra from god-knows-when.
As for LSC, it’s still a gamble in some ways. AKP has a stellar track record, but Kulkarni is a total unknown and it’s just hard to imagine Forrest Gump in an Indian context being anything special. Especially worrying would be any contentious issue the film would touch (and boy, contentious issues are dime a dozen in this country).

This is a nice look with a good innocent expression. But the pic seems to be heavily photoshopped – there is an unnatural contour of a shadow on the left side of his face.
Yes Tony, its almost 5 years since Dangal. It wudnt seem so long if he had not spent 2 years on a film like TOH. That is the main problem underpinning the younger stars like Hrithik and Ranbir – spending years on films which have nothing much to offer in the first place (although i personally did not mind TOH, it was nothing exceptional even on paper).
Anyways, Aamir had Secret Superstar in between, which was a small hit in India and a mammoth one overseas (China). Being an AKP film, he enjoyed the benefits of that labor (at least money wise). And LSC would have released last year if not for the pandemic which has caused all major films of 2020 to be delayed by one year, starting with Sooryavanshi.
Spending 2 years (3 in this case) to get right a film like LSC is OK, i guess. Aamir is at a stage of his career where any film he does will be treated like an event film. So its better to get it right each time, even at the cost of low frequency.
Dont think he loses any fan in the process. They still show up in theaters when the movies release. Its just that he does not enjoy the constant craze from his fans in the way Akshay does with his multiple films a year. But if Aamir is okay with that, then there is nothing much to complain. Recently he also announced that he will be staying away from social media for good.
FG did not dig into any historical moment, it just touched upon historical incidents. I expect LSC to do the same. Even if some ‘controversial’ event is referred to, i dont think the movie will take any side of the controversy. The narrative is not like that – it mainly revolves around the main character.

What Aamir is missing is script writing skills.
He usually relied on someone else to offer him a script and very few gets him going. He should have got a pool of writers under his wings or developed his own writing the way Raj Kapoor or Guru Dutt used to do. This way like those greats he would have had more control over his career.
Salman has his father who works on his movie’s scripts.
Akshay has a team now who continuously come up with ideas or works with other writers.
SRK has YRF who offers good projects.
However Aamir has not associated or bult his team for himself. There are no lack of ideas. We are seeing world over new concepts are coming. No way Aamir needs to wait for 3 years for a new idea or a script.

Today (Apr 29th) is the 33rd anniversary of QSQT (1988). While searching for QSQT box office figures, I came across 2 figures floating across sites. One is the 3 cr nett figure mentioned in the above post and another is 4.5+ cr nett figure. Similarly, the budget varied between 1-1.5 cr depending on whom you believe. But no doubt it was a Superhit and a trendsetter for romantic movies in that era.
Aamir’s initial years were not as bad (wrt box-office), as he himself makes out to be. After QSQT, he had an average in Love Love Love (1989), which did around 2.5+ cr nett. This was followed by the highest grosser of 1990 – Dil, which did a solid 10 cr nett. He also had an average film at box office in the same year, in his father’s directorial and home production Tum Mere Ho (around 2 cr nett).
In 1991, DHKMN was a city centric Hit film which did 4 cr nett wrt to his budget of 2 cr. He also had another average fare in Afsana Pyar Ka (2 cr nett). In 1992, there was JJWS which again did around 4 cr nett and was declared as a Hit or Average depending on the source. In 1993, he had a bigger hit in HHRPK which did 5+ cr nett and was again a home production. And finally in 1994 there was AAA, which inspite of being declared a flop initially, did average business (5 cr) wrt its budget of 3 cr.
Rangeela was a blockbuster in 1995 (~20 cr nett). But he also had 2 other average films at box office that year – AHAT (7 cr nett) and Baazi (5 cr nett).
Not a bad record to start with – despite all the flops (8 or so) that were intermittent in this period. Around 60% of his films were successful overall, before the one-film-a-year policy kicked in.

Up to certain point, movies were more of hit or flop; yes there was average too but for big stars, it’s either hit or flop. Things were not looked at much with scope of economics (budget, return, other revenue). Perception had a lot to do with it also. In perception sense JJWS, AAA, Baazi, AHAT were all flops.
Just like many believes Shaan was a flop when in fact it was one of the biggest grosser of that year but since it didn’t do Sholay business, people perception is it’s a flop.
Think about countless mithun films that he shot on his property, all were flops except couple yet he kept on making them, why Because at economic level, everyone were making money on it.
Oh boy, i hope this doesn’t give Naveen an idea to start looking at akshay earlier films and start claiming every akshay film as a hit due to economics of it 🙂

No Aman, JJWS was not a clean hit. It was more like DCH of the nineties – v well received by the youth but not that big a grosser. It was Average. It takes a radical fundamentalist point of view to think perception of a star-film can only be hit or flop. Life is not binary and more often than not, things lie in the middle.
You can dust out Komal Nahta’s FI verdicts in the 90s or Taran Adarsh’s commentary, and you will find that these films are classified as ‘Coverage’ or ‘Commission Earner’ etc.
Here is what Taran had to say about AAA during its 25th Anniversary:
Trade analyst Taran Adarsh however states that Andaz Apna Apna was neither a hit nor a big flop and was somewhere in between. He explains, “It did well in select cities. Over the years, it became a cult classic and is today a much loved film.”

Best to my knowledge JJWS was not a hit. I’m not saying it was a flop but it was not a hit.
Now think of common man at that time, for him, JJWS didn’t live up to or exceeded expectation set by QSQT.
Same thing with AAA, you have coming together of two big stars at that time and movie didn’t live up to expectation. Compare that to Karan-Arjun where it became a clear cut hit (you can call it super hit or any other tags but in end it was clean hit). On other hand, think of movie like Hum tumhara Hain Sanam (SRK, Salman, Madhuri, Aish), at economic level it’s average or above average or whatever tag one wants to use, but for common man, it was a flop.

So you are talking about public perception and comparing AAA with KA and HTHS? Public perceptions of those two 2 srk starrers are that both are forgettable films with zero shelf life. Who cares if KA was a blockbuster or not? No one cares to watch it or discuss it now, it was one of Rakesh Roshan’s shameful attempts at cinema. Less said about HTSH the better.
On the other hand, JJWS/AAA still has a shelf life and gets debated on their 25th anniversary about their box office status. That itself says everything about perception. Check the Imdb ratings of these films to know the real perception.

JJWS was average to below average. Same for AAA. AHAT did not perform.well. Baazi was a flop. A clear one. DHKMN’s collections were in the same range as Henna and Narsimha that year. It was a hit. I never saw net totals during those times. I saw circuit collections from a number of screens and % occupancy. Those were verdicts of those times.
But AAA became a cult movie. JJWS was a film ahead of its time. These films are beyond BO figures. I watched DHKMN again last week. If only half of today’s films had that innocence and spontaneity. These days, they are mere marketing products made for select audiences.

Hi Rahul, good to see you back.
AHAT actually did Ok. Even Nahta had it as ‘Coverage to Commission Earner’ in his annual verdicts. But yes, it was a Mansoor-Aamir film and was expected to do more. Baazi on the other hand was a much lower profile release and comparative to its budget did average business, it was hardly a washout. Even BOI had it as Average or Below Average at some point, when it had systematically downgraded the numbers and the verdicts of Aamir films in the nineties.

Ladakh is relatively free from covid fury and so is Jammu, Kashmir, Srinagar etc., I think. I am not sure.

They wudnt have allowed film shooting otherwise. Ladakh is anyways sparsely populated. Hope the LSC team remains safe and healthy through the schedule, which is a long one (45 days).

Is Naga Chaitanya a popular star?
———
Naga Chaitanya Akkineni is currently in Italy, for the shoot of ‘Thank You’. The actor might return to India sometime later as there are restrictions on travel to India. We hear that he will head to Ladakh as soon as he lands in the country, for the shoot of his Hindi debut film titled, Lal Singh Chaddha. Lal Singh Chaddha is the official remake of Hollywood classic Forrest Gump. Aamir Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan are playing the lead roles in the movie.
The latest reports in the film nagar reveal to us that the makers planned a new schedule in Ladakh which will begin soon. They planned it for a non-stop 45 days where the battle sequence will be shot. Naga Chaitanya will reprise the role played by Mykelti Williamson in the original and his role is based on Benjamin Buford Blue aka Bubba. Chay will be seen as Aamir’s close friend in the military. The schedule will comprise of scenes on both the actors.

LOL … Anyways, one never knows when this movie will complete its shooting. Such a long schedule will be extremely difficult to complete smoothly in such times. And if there is a national lockdown in between, the schedule will go for a toss. In that case the movie will surely be postponed to 2022.

Abishek is better than what you think. He has vastly underperformed, I agree with that. But talentless, he is not. Watch Refugee, Bunty Aur Babli, Sarkar, Bluffmaster, Phir Milenge, LOC, Yuvaa, Guru, DMD and Dostana and you will see the talent.

How old and haggard is Aamir looking these days? His days of playing young lead is over it seems. Shud graduate into senior roles like Dangal now.

LSC’s Ladakh/Kargil schedule that was supposed to be shot in June/July has been postponed again. Unlikely that this film will release in 2021.

So Kargil 1999 would be Vietnam 1967, possibly the Bubba equivalent gets killed by the first infiltrators and Aamir’s character is the first to inform the Indian Army. I’m guessing the Hurricane would the 2004 Tsunami, still have no clue how Naga Chaitanya is supposed to be a viable replacement for Vijay Sethupathi. Also LSC the character might take up the pagdi after he runs around the country with his hair and beard grown long.

The teaser seems a xerox of the original. Hopefully the politically controversial history of India is used better to create a positive impact. Aamir Khan’s Punjabi surely sounds better than his mess up in Rang De.. Advait Chandan’s Hirani inspiration might work well in his favor 🤞
