SHAHRUKH OR AAMIR???WHO WILL BE THE LAST MAN STANDING????

hello everyone...this is my first blog and whatever i have written below is completely MY VIEW.
So to start with,i have chosen my favourite topic of discussion "BOLLYWOOD".
Over the years,we have seen a lot of rivalries amongst the bollywood actors and actresses.
To name a few, during the starting 1980s we have shabana azmi and smita patil's hidden rivalry,
amitabh and shahrukh's exposed rivalry etcetc..but according to me,the rivalry which should top the list is of between SHAHRUKH KHAN and AAMIR KHAN.
Two of India's biggest film stars at present -- both being the heart throb of a young generation -- are fighting a battle for popularity, their rivalry revealed by subtle digs.
For years, India's celebrity-obsessed media has compared their acting, star power, fan following and box office fortunes but Aamir and Shahrukh avoided commenting on each other, cloaking their rivalry behind studied sophistication.
But things have changed drastically in last 1 year or so and aamir being culprit in doing so.
I still remember what aamir has written in his blog- "Shahrukh is licking my feet and I am feeding him biscuits every now and then. What more can I ask for?"how can any actor be so insecure and jealous ????This clearly indicates that aamir is showing extreme cupidity at the success of his counterpart.
While shahrukh always takes a backseat in these matters. Once he said in an interview that he finds out which actor he's supposed to be fighting with from the newspapers.
Things got worse before the release of "ghajini" which is simply a copy paste of the tamil version.Even the film name was copied.Aamir promoted his film like anything .He appeared in almost every news channel to do so.But at the same time,he directly criticized shahrukh in front of media calling him "an idiot".So in these isuues,the king khan is way ahead of aamir.
lets talk about different aspects of filmmaking and make some comparisions.
COMEDY:-
In 1994,there came aamir-salman starrer "andaz apna apna" which performed shabbily at box-office but has since gained a strong cult following over the years..
In 1999,shahrukh has done "baadshah" which performed fairly well at box-office while "main hoon na" in 2004 became a major hit.

ROMANCE:-
Aamir cant even go 10% of what Shahrukh has already achieved in this field.
Shahrukh has dilwaale dulhaniya le jaayenge,kuch kuch hota hai,dil toh paagal hai and the list will end somewhere for sure.
Aamir has 2-3 films to boast of in this field.

HISTORIC:-
After "lagaan",aamir took a long break to shoot for "mangal pandey"which failed so miserably at box office that ketan mehta dissappeared somewhere from the limelight and must be hiding somewhere now.
Shahrukh has done two films in this field.
"Asoka" and "devdas".
though asoka flopped at box office,devdas rocked.Shahrukh's performance as the rebellious alcoholic Devdas is often considered one of his best performances, garnering him a filmfare award.

SERIOUS ROLES:-
In this field,both the actors have done equally well over the years.
Aamir has done "sarfarosh","taare zameen par","rang de basanti" and a few more while shahrukh has "chakde india","kal ho na ho","kabhi khushi kabhi gam"under his belt.

Shahrukh khan has already got 13 filmfare awards while aamir has to satisfied with only 5.
None of them got national awards or oscars,so no need to compare in this field.
So,it is quite obvious that who will be the last man standing.

  5. hi thr...gud to see u bloggn!!nicely written,i must say,thou i donot completely agree with al the thngs tht u hav mentiond...lik lagaan had been atleast nominated for oscars!srk nevr had such a hit which has been internationally acclaimd!now dnt site referenes of his oversees earning..thts jst coz of loads of nri's who are a sucker for hardcore bollywood movie entertainers which are typically provided by srk!
    aamir hasn't achievd 10%of wat srk has in the feild of roamnce-agreed!but that way he has proved that he hasnt typecasted himself for one particular genre!he has done such varied roles that u ddi completely distuinguish a 'bhuvan' fron a 'dj' or a 'nikhumb'! while srk alwaz plays the same raj,rahul in most of hisfilms!just te heriones change!evn the dialogues r sometimes repaeted!new dont u agree?!
    hav i been too critical?sory..just an opinion,thts al!:)
    but keep bloggn!!:)

  9. nice blog. but srk is nowhere in comparison to aamir. you compared historic romantic and serious films. you forgot one category- stupid films. and srk is definitely the king khan in this section.
    and about ghajini. it is a remake. not a copy paste.
    do keep blogging. :) .

  10. very nicely done..even though i dont agree with u and have known u long enough to start arguing abt it..still a very nice effort..looking forward to more :P

  11. hey satyajeet bhai, a very nicce blog, but you are too obsessed with SRK. but u must also remember that Aamir has also got a long standing fight with most of the awarding oganisers, thats the reason why he's not nominated for the awards. Well anyways, overall the comprison was quite gud, but you also got to accept that Aamir is more of a perfectionist in Bollywood, but SRK has its own charms, giving a different kind of entertainment. Overall, it was a nice topic to start with. Congratulations!!

  12. dude
    u cant compare srk wid amir
    amir surely is THE best
    srk can do only lover boy roles (dat too in a gayish manner)
    but amir can do all types of roles
    n if u r tellin abt the qaulity of movies srk does n dat amir does lol i think OSO is a gud example of a typical srk movie.
    It was just a bogus n nothin else!!

  13. satya is just jealous because Ghajini is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy betterrrr than crap Rab ne..... :D

    ReplyDelete
  14. arup yarrr...i completely agree wit ya...ghajini is better than rab ne....but SEE THE TOPIC MAN........SRK WILL ALWAYS B WAY AHEAD OF THE CURVE IN BOLLYWOOD.........

    ReplyDelete
  15. GAUTAM .....LOL....U ONLY SAID THAT GHAJINI WAS absolutely a dumb movie as compared 2 the tamil version.....i don wanna discuss this topic .........in my view,SRK IS THE BEST.
    STATISTICALLY,HE IS WAY AHEAD OF THE DIVORSEE KHAN.
    AS A MAN,HE HAS A BETTER PERSONALITY.
    AWARDS WAGERA KA COMPARISION MAIN KAR CHUKA HOON.
    U ALL AAMIR KAHN FANS ALWAYS HAVE ONLY 1 THNG 2 SAY.....HE IS A COMPLETE ACTOR......HE IS A COMPLETE ACTOR...AND SO ON.....

    THASS IT...DON HV NE PROOF THOUGH ...SO..JUST GO 2 HELL U FANS OF "8 PACK" FREAK

  16. Hahahahah the comments are good. But i must say that Satya has drudged on this one. Well every one knows that hes an avid fan of shahrukh so no point in arguing with him over this that aamir is a better actor .Yeah and if we are fans of and 8 pack freak so whus the fan here of a 6 pack jack for one heck of a song which is sorry for itself. Dard e fUcKo.They seem so artificial im sorry to say that i detested him in that song. any ways how come people never mentioned swades ? common guys shahrukh was amazing in it and so was the movie in itself!
