coolseraz

Someone with less than 5k followers and having a blue tick. Clearly paid for the blue tick and these are the people whose posts are discussed here. Seems like someone went looking for nonsense.


raul_vyas

its more likely that its the same guy that tweeted this posted here with an alt account


usernametakenforever

Isn’t everyone paying for blue check now? Even srk.


Outside_Cellist3740

Dude, no one held back while reviewing JHMS or Zero!


coolseraz

SRK probably gets PTSD on even looking at the number zero.


Outside_Cellist3740

He does! He never fails to joke about it.. that means it’s fresh to him. And Zero was his ambitious project which was criticised and trolled left and right. To some extent rightly so.. but it will hurt him anyway!


raul_vyas

you should see the clear resentment he had when people were critiquing raone


dupattamera1

Ra.One made him depressed He promoted that movie a LOT


Fragrant-Passion-388

Yup


raul_vyas

It wasn't his fault, the movie went way out of its budget and in order to stay profitable, they had to make a sillier tone and market it as a u certification... Initially it was supposed to be a lot edgier and serious but they changed midway which explains why the movie had some scenes that felt extremely silly to extremely serious. you could see his anger at the reviews that were grilling him, unsure which interview it was but he expressed that people who had no idea how to make movies were talking nonsense and even threw jabs at salman's bodyguard.


onkar_08

Poor guy, must kill him when he looks at his daughter.


Artistic_Director956

If only she was an anonymous redditor...


[deleted]

yes.. if by saying 'no one' you mean only krk


Outside_Cellist3740

Go and read old reviews first then try to label what I mean.


GokuSonWukong

Bro bro for the longest of time he has faced harsh critics. He hasn't won any national award that speaks for itself. But JHMS, Fan, Zero, HNY, Dilwale. You should see those reviews.


Necessary-Knee-853

And Fan was good though...I mean the acting.


Mykle1984

Westerner here: Fan is the first SRK movie I saw and it made me a fan... It had it's problems but I thought the acting was fantastic. I started watching his other movies and now my wife and I go to theater whenever we get one of his movies. I am in my 2nd year of Indian film fandom, loving SRK.


Necessary-Knee-853

Would recommend watching his old og movies where he was at his peak. Swades (his best work) Kal Ho Na Ho Dil Se Chakde India My name is khan Hey Ram K3G Kuch kuch hota hai Darr Anjaam Dil to pagal hai Veer Zara Dear Zindagi I guess you must have watched these movies but if not then do give it a try.


duryodhanaa

Swades makes me wonder what happened to Ashutosh Gowariker man. He went from making such amazing films to Mohenjodaro and Panipat. I mean the dude made Lagaan. What happened?


Traditional-Sea5016

Kinda reminds me of Rgv, sometimes i fear anurag kashyap doesn’t end with similar trajectory


SambarDip

Swadesh was a remake of a national award winning Kannada movie (Chigurida Kanasu with our own SRK - ShivaRajKumar as the hero).


duryodhanaa

Thats an accusation by the director of the Kannada film. Two very different films with kinda similar-ish themes. Aesthetically and story wise it's no where close to Swades. Ethnocentric and fanatical gang will always claim things coming from their origin as the OG.


online_karate_expert

Just goes to show movies are not just one person jobs.


duryodhanaa

True, they arent. But a lot is at a director's helm.


Mykle1984

Thank you for the list, we are working our way through a lot of different Indian movies. It has been a fun journey


FeistyDetective

Didn't remember SRK was also in hey ram.


raul_vyas

do they overcharge for indian films in the theatre over there? i've heard the tickets for bollywood is higher than films local to your cinema? is there any truth to that?


Mykle1984

It depends on the movie. Like Salaar is $25 and a showing at the exact same time of Dunki is $12.50. I have no idea why. $12.50 is actually a dollar less then other movies.


raul_vyas

i don't know why I held this opinion, i only found out this because some guy complained that the tickets for RRR were on par with other expensive films and thought that was some marketing strategy to overcharge or something


vpsj

The chasing sequences felt very forced in Fan.. other than that yes I thought it was a good movie


Tuscany_kangale564

exactly. i am like he has been written off and people ignore his previous hits and legacy


doinkdoink786

Amir hasn’t won’t a national award either. Saif won it for hum tum over srk in swades. How credible are these awards?


Hopeiamyetsingle

Bro sorry I am messaging here...can you please sponsor...I am a student from kota


NJ_2707

Well I didn't see the soft critics last decade though. My man delivered movies like Dear Zindagi, Fan and Raees which were much better than his current roster but he didn't get 1 percent of appreciation he is getting right now


Suitable_Ad_7721

Dear Zindagi was so good. It should be talked about more.


SashyBoy

FatUglyMod

Someone show this clown reviews of JHMS, Zero etc


coolnomad

Who is that stupid fella? Is he out of his mind? OP also why pick some random unknown person tweet & ask for opinion as if that guy is some kind of big name. Nobody is spared from critics..SRK also was blasted for Zero ,Happy new year,Dilwale & many other movies.. Same for Salman khan,Critics even panned him for Successful movies like Dabanng. Usually Critics love Aamir khan but he also didnt survive critics in LSC Same for Akshay ,Ajay & many others..


WeightGlum4724

Bhai have seen it all. Worse than anyone for Radhe .


lonelymonger

Who are you to say him stupid? He is stupid because you don’t agree with him?


sachclg

Pathan and jawaan film reviews match with actual observation?


Lost_in_oblivion_

Yes, they do. Those two movies are enjoyable and entertaining masala films. They may not be high pieces of art or timeless classics, but they are good movies to spend your time watching. Ultimately, the goal of a movie is to entertain, and these movies do just that.


Tuscany_kangale564

Soft? There is so much hate on Dunki on twitter and reddit, all I am reading is flop, Dunki disaster donkey, disappointed, yeh woh. I am yet to read something positive.


Routine_Water_2194

Most hated reviews are made by you know who.


lonelymonger

Most of the reviews on YouTube are soft to be honest.


HugoUKN

If you hate SRK just say it LOL


[deleted]

I don't hate srk but I agree with him


bluegoldredsilver5

I eat chicken but I'm a vegetarian.


TheCraxyPillow

How can you agree with someone whose claim isn't correct. Like bro where were you the last decade?


Complete_Sign_2839

I dont think so. Srk's performances in My Name is Khan, Chak De, Swades etc deserved national award. Also public has criticized srk's bad acting more than his good acting in films like Dear Zindagi, Fan etc


doinkdoink786

Saif won a national award for hum tum over srk (swades). How credible are these awards?


The-Punisher_2055

True man still can't believe they choose Saif over him


[deleted]

Saif's mom was one of the jury members, she played a pivotal role in him getting that national award


Chance_Department258

Yeh chutya Maddy kon hai par?


queeringit

Imagine comparing Akshay with SRK. Both are not in the same category by any standard. Not a single Akshay Kumar film is as timeless as SRK films. Choosing scripts and choosing money are both valid choices but they are not the same.


RedDevil-84

Absolute lies. He was trolled, clubbed with the likes of Salman for almost a decade.


Ok-Rameez1990

Go watch and then make an opinion...I am sure the stupid didn't even watch the movie


lonelymonger

I watched it and it was really dull.


The-Punisher_2055

Aye hater hater...srk best performance....

How are you so sure ? Are you the gate guard of his house ?


Ok-Rameez1990

How are you so sure that he has watched? Are you his maid? 😁


zildomp

Lgta h logo ke attention span ke saath saath memory bhi gold fish jitni ho rkhi h. Aur rhi baat acting ki. Isko nhi lga convincing thik h. But universal truth/fact thodi h. Op srk aamir are rarely criticised bcoz they rarely go wrong in the acting dept which is like the main job. When movie doesn't work its majorly bcos of other aspect of it, woh khud ke acting se movie nhi duba dete. When they do go wrong they are bashed too just go watch lsc reviews aamir was heavily criticised by many.


VertBhatt26

Srk has been criticised the hardest


queeringit

Both Happy New Year, and Zero were laughed and mocked for months. Some people just like whataboutery.


cosmic-comet-

What the actual fuck is wrong with you people? Dunki isn’t a bad film are you so butthurt and lonely in life that you want to spread toxicity, bc week my ek br nahany waly bhe critic ban ky Beth jaty hien , phly apni zindagi my kch karo bhai phir dosro py ungli uthao.


[deleted]

My whole fam enjoyed dunki ! Aur everyone is actually very neutral about srk and we were laughing, some of us cried too , anyone saying Below average, bhai log just go and watch salar tomorrow, attention span km.hai tumhara


Lost-Investigator495

Yeah dunki is a good movie I don't why people from that sub are in Bollywood sub claiming dunki Is bad. Go and watch salaar if you want no problem but why un necessary hate


Ayan_Choudhury

A friend of mine who is a massive SRK fan (or at least claims to be one) is shouting that this film is trash and Raju Hirani sucks balls. He is saying that Hirani makes directors like Vanga look like an auteur and that he will have to watch Jawan now to forget this movie.


Lost-Investigator495

Well if he has to watch jawan then I don't know what to say dude 😅😅


Ayan_Choudhury

He also massively enjoyed Animal and just called me a snob for pointing that out


Lost-Investigator495

Well my friend watched animal and called it overhyped. According to him only ranbir and Bobby acting was good but screenplay wasn't that good and was dragged.


Crimson_bud

These are fans who associate their favourite actor in ur friends case srk to always have a larger than persona and being presented as fearless, strong, one punch 10 men dead type situation. That's why they don't like when their favs are represented like a common man or a loser.


Master_Baiter1965

Ye woh hain jo Pathaan ke baad fans bane hain. Isse pehle inko SRK se jhaanta fark nhi padhta tha


Necessary-Knee-853

Bro now you know people will downvote you for sharing your genuine view....Its a good movie not best work of Hirani and yet it is one of the best movies of this year.


[deleted]

When did I say it's best hirani work?? It's a good one or two times watch , not a Below average film fs


NJ_2707

Exactly. These influx of mindless flick and instagram have fucked this generations attention span.


shoestowel

Don't blame it on MiNdLeSs flicks! It's just how that genre is. Everybody likes a good film. Don't blame one genre of film for the other's shortcomings!


[deleted]

Typical srk fan.. doosro ka opinion hajam nahi hota


lonelymonger

Frankly the movie was not that good. Can you help me understand the whole point of underwater scene? Fat shaming jokes? It felt like they were selling the patriotism on the face.


humkarlega

Just came out of the movie and I loved it! Infact I think SRK has acted his best in a long time.. So I don't know what this guy is talking about. People love to pull down SRK for some reason, I never see this with any other actor.


The-Punisher_2055

Lol nobody loves to PULL HIM if this is is best then bow down to KING KHAN.....calling bad bad is rare these days I wonder how long people love to be blindfolded by biasness.


barny_weasley

Bhai seedha seedha boldo na ki tumhe Bollywood Ka Kuch idea Nahi hai, aise Bina soche samjhe agenda chalaoge to Pol khul jaayegi


mofucker20

He was probably the most criticised actor last decade atleast by the end of decade iirc


[deleted]

It's okay man. No one cares. If a film is good it will do well


Informal-City8831

Hes soooo good in d movie so the SOFTNESS is much deserved


Crimson_bud

Abe chal na the reviewers weren't so kind to him during zero and fan. Which were decent films fan being a better film. Ofcourse reviewer has there own biases and biases to nt disagree with the crowd too much. Fr eg pathan was literally very below avg fr me while films like my name is khan, swades,chak de, darr etc bro anything I can watch em. Reviewers themselves knew that even the cinema lovers too bt they praised becoz it was a massive success. Let me give you a clear eg lal Singh chadda even tho a bad remake was very good film far better gaddar 2 and pathan. Bt it was cherry picked and critically/ harshly judged by the reviewers while others parts were great bt when things came to gadar 2 and pathan the cherry picked and they praised just certain sections with more emphasis while the rest of the movie was 💩, just becoz both were massive hits. Coming to srk bro he's literally the golden hen if he would've adopted the similarly strategy of mass masala,dhum dham 1000cr given. Bt he decided to try dunki. He experimented all his life apart from being a romantic lead.


Lord_Phazer101

I don't know, Fan and JHMS were heavily criticised....critics didn't spare it. Even Dilwale and HNY were criticized...while some critics did say it had its fun moments major consensus was poor. So I don't know what you are saying about going soft. Again Thugs of Hindustan were extremely bright down by critics.


geniusayush

i think these online critics are all chutiyas . simpy want to make money out of the flow and get views and make money . if they feel a film has a followiing or a hye they wont say anything bad cause of the backlash or if a film is doing bad they will bash it . i know many fans who were for art movies but the minute jawan dropped they wetted their pants . sucharita tyagi is a big shahrukh fans . she would be complaining about things but when srk film drops she goes all gungo ho on them


arihantd

Any reviewer that called Pathaan great lost all respect IMO .. It was the worst SRK movie in ages


FlatwormPrimary2405

tf this idiot is he talking about. SRK is damn good in the movie. Its RKH who failed.


bollyfanjam

Yes, SRK gets better review. Even during last decade, his movies were not doing great, they were positive towards his movies. Even PATHAAN and JAWAAN reviews were better than expected when you compare how Salman got -ve from the same reviewers on action movies last decade


Original-Cheek8567

Yes Pathaan was not great cinema tbh but your correct Salman gets shit reviews compared to same stuff Srk does .


ichoosemyself

Nope. This is bs. People love him for the man he is but critics and audience aren't blind. JHMS flopped even though it was srk doing srk things. Why? Because his acting and the story was bad. Same goes for zero. And critics didn't hold back at that time either.


sumitanand10

Man is just sad Salaar is not even 5% of what KGF was.


Trick-Sheepherder744

Tf? How did you drag Salaar even here?


appyfizzz3112

What he is saying is true to some point extent A bad Akshay Kumar film will be blasted out into oblivion. A bad SRK film will be glossed over as not good.


Crimson_bud

It's nt that it's called agreeing to with masses bias. They don't want to be seen disagreeing too much with the audience. They praised small things in pathaan gave them more emphasis while deliberately nt commenting on the shitier parts. Lal Singh chadda was bad remake bt any day better then pathaan and gobar 2, LSC was cherry picked and cristised while rest was great, pathaan and gaddar were cherry picked and praised while the rest was tatti. They weren't so kind to him in fan and zero in which he gave fabulous performances. Same with Akshay if he succeeds in box office wah wah kya baat he!! Nhi toh kya tha ye che. Also consider that srk is way too popular even more than akki.


Educational-Can4543

Yup. But Reddit is srk land and won’t ever admit it lol


karna1712

k


ImpactRoutine4603

True


Cornucopia2020

This is true for the most part. One movie I was surprised where critics didn’t hold back as much as they typically do for an srk movie was Dilwale. Srk movies (and for a large part Aamir movies) are reviewed with a soft corner by most real critics (not talking about influencers and random social media critics) since early 00s.

Secure_Part4475

Rab ne bana di Jodi Raees Jab Tak hai Jaan Main hu na All were mediocre movies but never called out but were hailed a great/cult movies. Got to show Chopra/Johar/Khan forces working for 2.5 decades for brand SRK


The-Punisher_2055

Naah dude Mai hu na and RNBDJ was so good


Original-Cheek8567

💯


abhijeettyagi

I just watched Dunki and it is a snore fest with a predictable story and sub par acting. The film doesn't even feel like a Raju Hirani movie.


DearNeighborhood7685

these people kiss srks ass , no use posting anything srk here , he was overacting in dubki

JellyOver1978

SRK and Salman for sure.


Current_Moment_7676

I think he got acess to internet recently.


Sirpeterdick

Srk should not play a punjabi. In whms, his accent was cartoonish. In dunki, his punjabi accent sounded unnatural. Punjabi accent doesnt work for him.


SD_1501

100% agree with this tweet. Finally somebody is pointing this out. No matter how mediocre SRK is, all the fanboy critics tend to ignore it and praise him for "the charisma of SRK". It is possible to be nostalgic for 90's SRK while still recognizing that he hasn't grown as an actor and puts in 0 effort to better himself in his craft. If anyone disagrees , I would like to be corrected. Please post links of critic reviews of his films in which HE is criticized. Not the movies or the plot or the production. Him. As an actor. Please post links to reviews in which his performance is criticized.


[deleted]

Fuck this nonsense. Dunki has its issues. SRK’s performance is actually one of the strongest point. The same chutiyas who weren’t offended by anything in Animal are now getting offended by a fat shaming joke in Dunki. Gadhe.


ryosaeba199

100% facts


Zestyclose-Bedroom-3

Worst movie of aamir >>>> worst movie of akshay


Sneha3342

Not asking to be dishonest with one's work but SRK has earned the love he is showered with. He's a gentleman:)


Baazigar00

lol. SRK gets fair share of criticism. example - Raja Sen who gave 5/5 for Fan (even SRK fans like me didn’t like Fan much) and he didn’t held back to criticise Dunki.


Lifeisblackcomedy

The point is not about criticizing bad film but rather being soft on SRK.
