The simplest concept of a successful movie is when it generates ROI. Over the years, trade and fanatics developed farcical terms like "Blockbusters" and "All Time Blockbusters" to satisfy the ego of the stars that they got paid from and to get fanatics attention. Most frequently these terms are used very loosely by Salman fans of late. Lets have a look at the so-called "Blockbusters" and "All time Blockbusters"
Lets have a look at the biggest grossers of 2011:
Bodyguard - 148 cr, Ready - 120 cr, ra.one - 118 cr, don2 - 107 cr, singham - 100 c,r znmd - 90 cr.
Ready is claimed to be a blockbuster by salman fans. But how can that be a blockbuster where there are atleast half a dozen films with the same lifetime range? Bodyguard is said to be a blockbuster which released an year after dabang that did 140 cr. So if Dabang was a BB, how come BG with just 8 cr more in an year be a BB as well?
Lets have a look at the biggest grossers of 2012:
ETT - 199 cr, Dabang 2 - 155cr, RR - 133 cr, JTHJ - 120 cr AP - 115 cr
If ETT is a blockbuster at 199 cr, how cna Dabang 2 be a blockbuster which did significantly lower than ETT?
Lets have a look at the biggest grossers of 2014:
PK - 340 cr, Kick - 231 cr, HNY - 203 cr, Bang Bang - 181 cr, Singham returns - 141 cr
In 2013 there were two 200 cr grossers which were CE - 215 cr and Krrish 3 at 245 cr. If these movies were blockbusters then how kick that came an year later and did less be a blockbuster especially when it made several distributors losses because of high selling price
In reality salman khan has given only 4 blockbusters in the last 8 years which are Dabang, ETT, Bajrangi Bhaijaan and Sultan and they came far and few from the hoardes of movies that he did in between. In between this, his distributors have made losses for movies like Jai Ho, kick and PRDP. Then the big mother of all disasters - Tubelight.
His last and only All time Blockbuster was HAHK which featured Madhuri Dixit who was the lead and bigger star of her time. Besides HAHK, salman does not have even a All Time Grosser in a span of 25 years which other stars like Hrithik, Shahrukh and Aamir have given from time to time (Dhoom 2, OSO, RNBDJ, Ghajini, 3I, CE, Krrish 3, Dhoom 3, PK and Dangal)
So much for the "Stardom of Bhai"
