Does he think that the mere iconic pairing of himself and Kajol and some catchy songs/music or some good cinematography in the songs is "enough" to make a good movie? He should know better than that. There've been enough number of movies with a great star cast and may be even good songs that didn't do well at the box office. If I compare Dilwale to Haider which I eventually got to watch this past weekend, it is day-and-night difference - with Haider, we're looking at some reeeaaaalllly well done cinema (in my opinion at least) - that to me is true story telling - cinema is all about great story telling - if that is not done well, nothing else matters, scenes in Bulgaria or Gerua won't cut it....Sure, I'll probably play the songs from Dilwale a few times in my home theater - but would have no desire to watch this nonsense again - I still need to complete the movie though.....LOL

I think we are in very interesting times in Bollywood.

SRK's DILWALE (2015) = Aamir's MELA (2000) = Salman's VEER (2010)aka. Turning point in filmography

All 3 films were absolutely panned by everyone at various points in time. MELA and VEER turned out to be turning point in Aamir's and Salman's career respectively.

MELA debacle resulted in Aamir becoming Bollywood superstar of 2010 decade starting with Oscar nominated LAGAAN (2001) home production ending with 3 IDIOTS (2010) and beyond with P.K (2014) as the Aamir journey continues...

VEER debacle directly resulted in salman's re-launching into "North India's Rajnikanth" avatar. South regional blockbusters remakes resulting in BO golden run starting with DABANGG (2010) and most probably ending the "masala" era with All-time Blockbuster in BAJRANGI BHAIJAAN (2015). But Salman's journey continues....

DILWALE debacle with serious criticism by masses and classes alike could also directly result in SRK's re-entry into "acting" superstar with FAN (2016) and RAEES (2016) and other interesting line-up with class directors forever shunning garbage masala trash cinema of Rohit Shetty, Farah Khan and even Karan Johar to certain extent.

We are living in interesting era. All 3 superstars are aging and on wrong side of 50 yrs. All 3 are identical age and entered the twilight era of cinema. Something Big B had to deal with in 1990s.

I have a feeling one of them will eventually quit the superstardom.

Whether it will be....

50-55 yrs old Salman (least talented, masses hero) or
50-55 yrs old SRK (Most talented & versitile, properly stage trained, but poor, selfish, businessman-like decision maker) or
50-55 yrs old Aamir (wise, hardworking but extremely picky once every 3 yrs release).

Only the time will tell...1 or even 2 of the superstars will not age well imo..

stay tuned....
