  • One Year Of Salman’s T3: What Went Wrong With The Movie

    T3 was released on 12 November 2023

    Salman Khan’s big film T3 marks its first anniversary today. It was one of the most anticipated films of 2023 and the biggest film of Salman Khan since 2019. T3 was predicted to become a high grossing film at the box office. But what happened, shocked everyone. T3 went wrong and worse.

    T3

    T3 is the fifth film for the YRF Universe. Among the characters of Ti Pathaan, and Kabir, T is the most popular character as the T film initiated the foundation of the YRF Universe.

    YRF Universe is amongst the biggest and most successful film franchises in India.

    TZH (2017) earned over 330 crores in India and over 600 crores globally.

    ETT (2012) earned over 200 crores in India and over 300 crores globally.

    T3 (2023) earned over 270 crores in India and over 450 crores globally despite mixed reviews. All the films from the YRF Universe have received positive reviews. But, T3 received mixed reviews and criticism for its story, screenplay, and direction. Even the makers of the film were shocked by the performance of T3.

    T3 didn’t fail at the box office practically. But the film underperformed considering the hype of the YRF films and the superstardom of Salman Khan. Actually, whatever business T3 achieved at the box office is only because of the superstardom of Salman Khan. Otherwise, the film would have flopped terribly.

    So, what went wrong with T3

    T3 had a terrible release date. The film was released during festive season when almost every Indian citizen was busy celebrating the festival. Also, T3 released during the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 which was held in India. Nobody would be interested in watching a film when the Indian Cricket Team is playing semi-finals and finals of the World Cup in India.

    T3 had everything. It was made on a budget of 300 crores. They had an amazing stunt team. They had a great start cast of Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif, and Emraan Hashmi. But, T3 didn’t have the main thing, the story.

    The story of T3 seemed to be foolish. Forget the story. The direction, screenplay, music, and editing of T3 were worse, especially after watching a film like Pathaan in the same year.

    Salman Khan did everything to save the film and it is because of him that T3 is still a hit. Emraan Hashmi is an excellent actor but he looked unconfident as the main protagonist of the film.

    The story of T3 was written by the film’s producer Aditya Chopra and the film was directed by Maneesh Sharma. They both are to be blamed for T3’s underperformance.

    Moving on, the future of YRF Universe is amazing. They have films like W2 and Alpha set to release in 2025. Pathaan 2 is currently under production and writing is going on.

    There won’t be another T film anymore. T3 was the last film of Salman Khan as T.

    But Aditya Chopra, CEO and head of YRF Entertainment is planning the biggest Indian film ever. He is planning a two hero film with Salman Khan and Shahrukh Khan in the lead. Both actors will reprise their roles of Pathaan and T in a film titled ‘T vs P’. It is said to be released in 2030 under the direction of Sidharth Anand.

  • Superstar Actors Who Can Do Dhoom 4

    Dhoom is one of the most successful Indian film franchises

    Yash Raj Films (YRF) is one of India’s biggest movie production houses based in Mumbai. The YRF head Aditya Chopra enjoys two massive film franchises ‘Dhoom and YRF Universe’ under his production banner. We have seen YRF going all out with their YRF Universe by bringing films like Pathaan, W1, TZH, and T3 in recent times and a few more films that are under production. But the YRF team is quite slow on taking the Dhoom franchise onward. The last and third part of Dhoom came back in 2013.

    Dhoom series earlier included John Abraham, Hrithik Roshan, and Aamir Khan as the main antagonist

    The first part of Dhoom was released in 2004 with Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra as and John Abraham as the main antagonist. Despite receiving mixed reviews, Dhoom ended up on the winning side by becoming one of the major hits of 2004.

    The second part of Dhoom titled ‘Dhoom 2’ was released in 2006 with Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra reprising their roles and Hrithik Roshan as the new main antagonist. Dhoom 2 met the expectations and became one of the highest-grossing films of all time in 2006 and broke several box office records.

    The third part of Dhoom titled ‘Dhoom 3’ was released in 2013 again with Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra and legendary actor Aamir Khan in a dual role as the main antagonist. Dhoom 3 received widespread popularity. Despite receiving mixed reviews, the film grossed over 400 crores in just ten days becoming a major commercial success.

    With John Abraham, Hrithik Roshan, and Aamir Khan already featured in the Dhoom series we only see these three Bollywood actors who can do justice and might feature in Dhoom 4. However, Dhoom 4 is not been officially announced yet. But it will surely happen in the future.

    Ranbir Kapoor

    Ranbir Kapoor is presently the most popular actor in India. The actor has received a cult following and his film career has taken a giant step frontward post the success of his last film Animal (2023). He is already giving tough competition to some of the biggest superstars of the country, Prabhas, Salman Khan, Shahrukh Khan, and Aamir Khan. Ranbir Kapoor has quite a few big releases under production. He is presently shooting for ‘Dangal’ director Nitesh Tiwari’s upcoming ‘RMY’ along with actress Sai Pallavi and actor Yash. The film is made on a whopping budget of 800+ crores with the first part of a movie set to release between 2025 – 2026. After wrapping up RMY, Ranbir will begin shooting for a film titled ‘L & W’.

    L & W is directed by noted filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali and it also stars Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal besides Ranbir Kapoor. Ranbir Kapoor will also star in the sequel of Animal titled ‘Animal Park’. With several big films under his belt, we still think Ranbir Kapoor might be perfect to play the next antagonist in Dhoom 4. He is handsome, he has aura and he made the world go crazy with his acting in Animal. No doubt, Dhoom 4 will be very big with Ranbir Kapoor.

    Salman Khan

    Salman Khan is the boss. Though the last few films of him have underperformed at the box office and he is to blame for it. But he is still one of the biggest superstars in the country and everyone is wholeheartedly waiting to see him do larger-than-life movies. Salman’s last big hit came back in 2017 which was TZH from the YRF Universe.

    In recent times, the actor has been criticized by fans and critics for doing mediocre and tasteless films like Dabangg 3, Kisi Ka Bhai Ki Jaan, Radhe, and a few more. And he did these films, especially after delivering iconic blockbusters like Sultan and Bajrangi Bhaijaan. He did Kisi Ka Bhai Ki Jaan in 2023 and as a result, his much-awaited biggie T3 released in 2023 underperformed at the box office.

    Fortunately, he has accepted his mistake and he is now looking to work only with big directors in the country and big production houses. He has signed quite a few big films with two films already under production. He is presently shooting for director AR Murugadoss’s next film titled ‘Sikander’ which is slated to release in April 2025. The film is produced by Sajid Nadiadwala. Salman Khan is also confirmed to star in Karan Johar’s next titled ‘The Bull’ that will be directed by ‘Shershaah’ fame director Vishnu Vardhan.

    Salman is YRF’s favorite. They have together delivered blockbuster films like Sultan, TZH, and ETT. No wonder YRF will think of Salman Khan whenever they are looking to lock the cast of Dhoom 4.

    Shahrukh Khan

    Last but not the least. Shahrukh Khan has completely changed the game and has set new benchmarks for every Superstar in this country. He has created box office records that would be impossible to be broken anytime soon. What he has done in 2023 with Pathaan and Jawan was shocking, surprising, and unpredictable. Now every time Shahrukh Khan comes up with a large-scale film, a 1000 crore worldwide collection would be a cakewalk for him. As of now, Shahrukh Khan has only one film under production. The film is titled ‘The King’ and it is the debut movie for Shahrukh Khan’s daughter Suhana Khan. Earlier Shahrukh Khan was expected to do a guest appearance but now he is confirmed to play a full-fledged role in the film. The film is jointly produced by Shahrukh Khan and Pathaan fame director Sidharth Anand.

    The film is directed by Sujoy Dosh. Owning to the success of Pathaan and Jawan, SRK might be YRF’s first choice for Dhoom 4. Though the actor is confirmed to begin the shooting for Pathaan 2 once he wraps up ‘The King’.

    With Salman and Shahrukh are already associated with YRF’s Universe. Ranbir Kapoor might be suitable to get associated with YRF for Dhoom 4. Their last collaboration came in 2022 with the film Shamshera which was a box office flop.

  • Rise Of Ranbir Kapoor: Khans Biggest Competition

    At 42 age, Ranbir Kapoor is one of the biggest superstars in the country.

    Ranbir Kapoor is here to challenge the biggest superstars of the country. The three Khans of Bollywood – the three leading actors of Bollywood. The biggest movie stars in India in terms of popularity, longevity, stardom, and box office. Salman Khan, Shahrukh Khan, and Aamir Khan have been ruling the Indian cinema for the last three decades.

    All three Khans have seen their ups and downs, there have been many good actors who have tried to leave them behind, but they have always stood tall and nobody has been able to leave them behind. All thanks to their die-hard fans.

    But here’s the newest entry in the Superstar League who is now challenging the mighty Khans in terms of box office, popularity, and stardom. It’s none other than Ranbir Kapoor. The rise of Ranbir Kapoor is astonishing. It’s because he has never been consistent in delivering consecutive box-office blockbusters. Although he has been a fan’s favourite ever since he made his debut in 2007 in Saawariya.

    Ranbir Kapoor has pulled the gear in 2023. He is now amongst the most prominent actor in Indian cinema. His acting skills, his politeness, his humble nature, and as well as his respect towards senior actors have made him every filmmaker’s first choice.

    After making his Bollywood debut with Saawariya, Ranbir Kapoor started in Wake Up Sid and Bachna Ae Heaseeo, both commercially successful films which boosted his popularity. He then starred in Ajab Prem Ki Gazab Kahani which was another hit film for him and the fourth highest-grossing film of 2009. However, his 2010 drama film Raajneeti became his biggest hit, and his acting skills were exceedingly cherished by everyone. He even received a Best Actor nomination at the Filmfare Awards. The film won him critical acclaim for his performance.

    In 2011, Ranbir Kapoor starred in Imtiaz Ali’s Rockstar. Rockstar is considered one of the best Hindi films ever made and the best film of all time. Ranbir’s acting and performance were highly praised at that time and he won several awards for it. He still gets a lot of appreciation for his performance in Rockstar. In 2012 Ranbir once again exhibited his great acting ability in Anurag Basu’s Barfi. Barfi was India’s official entry at the 85th Academy Awards. While Ranbir won consecutive Best Actor awards.

    In 2013 Ranbir Kapoor saw the biggest highlight of his career where he delivered his biggest hit at that time and starred in one of the most popular Hindi films of all time. Starring Ranbir Kapoor, Deepika Padukone, Aditya Roy Kapoor, and Kalki Koechlin, Ayan Mukerji’s Yeh Jaawani Hai Deewani is still considered a cult film and one of the best films ever made in Indian cinema. But, after Yeh Jaawani Hai Deewani, Ranbir witnessed a decline his in career. Barring Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, his films such as Tamasha, Roy, Jagga Jassos, Beshram, and Bombay Velvet struggled commercially.

    But again, his career witnessed a major growth where he delivered one of his biggest hits of all time. In 2018, he portrayed popular Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt in his biopic film titled Sanju which was directed by Rajkumar Hirani, one of the highly acclaimed filmmakers of all time. Ranbir was highly acclaimed for his performance as Sanjay Dutt while the biopic film grossed over 500 crores at the worldwide box office.

    Post Sanju, Ranbir Kapoor took a major hiatus from Bollywood. He returned in 2022. He starred in Shamshera which opened to a poor response from the audience and was declared a big box office disaster. But post-Shamshera there has been no stopping for Ranbir Kapoor.

    He once again delivered a few consecutive hits such as Brahmastra: Part One, Tu Jhoothi Main Makkar, and Animal. While Brahmastra and Tu Jhoothi Main Makkar did good numbers at the box office. Animal is Ranbir’s highest-grossing film and one of the highest-grossing Hindi films of all time.

    Ranbir Kapoor’s brand value and aura have risen to an incredible extent following the massive success of his last film Animal.

    Opened to mixed reviews, Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Animal starring Ranbir Kapoor grossed over 500 crores at the domestic box office and grossed over 900 crores at the worldwide box office. Ranbir was highly praised for his character and his performance full of swag and machoism was cherished by everyone.

    Post Animal, Ranbir Kapoor is set to star in Nitesh Tiwari’s upcoming RMY. Ranbir is also set to reprise his role in the sequel of Animal. Again, he is set to reprise his role in Ayan Mukerji’s Brahmastra. He is also set to star in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s next film with his wife Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal. If presented well and accurately, Nitesh Tiwari’s RMY could be the biggest hit of all time. It stars Sai Pallavi, KGF fame Yash, and Sunny Deol. It is one of the most expensive Hindi films ever. The expectations are sky-high from RMY. The film can easily gross over 1000+ crores.

    Whereas Animal Park, a sequel to Animal is in the pipeline. Concerning the popularity of Animal (2023), Animal Park will easily emerge as one of the biggest hits of all time when released.

    Popularity, stardom, and now the box office, there is no doubt that Ranbir Kapoor is one of the biggest actors in Indian cinema and one of the most desirable actors in Bollywood. He is already in the league of Khans. While Shahrukh Khan recently delivered two biggest hits of Bollywood in 2023, Salman Khan’s last big hit came in 2017 while Aamir Khan saw his last hit film in 2016. Though nobody can write off Salman and Aamir. They both have a promising release in 2025 which could be a game-changer for them.

    But it is Ranbir Kapoor who is now ruling Bollywood for the upcoming years. Guess his daughter Raha, born in 2022, is fortunate for him. The actor is all set to move into his new Bungalow built in the posh Palli Hill area of Mumbai.

The film has a strong social message for the Indian audience. A. R Murugadoss previously has directed several drama films with a strong message.

    A R Murugadoss and Sajid Nadiadwala unquestionably recognize the kind of film audiences love to see these days and the kinds of films that are acknowledged by Salman Khan fans. The makers are shooting for a grand drama sequence on August 22 in Film City, Mumbai.

    Sikandar is a hardcore drama stunt film. The current shooting schedule of Sikandar is 45 days in Mumbai. Later, the team of the film will shoot a major emotional scene at a palace in India. The film will be shot in many locations in India and Europe as well. Rajnikanth’s 2023 blockbuster movie J was the highest grossing film of the year. The makers of Sikandar have hired the same team of J for their movie.

    The last several films of Salman Khan have been failed badly. He has delivered hits and profitable films. But his fans are severely bothered about his discerning. Salman’s last blockbuster film came in 2017. It was ‘TZH’ that grossed over 500 crores globally. His 2015 release ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’ grossed over 900 crores globally. He is a mega movie star with several blockbuster films. But his script selection from 2020 to 2023 has been terrible. His last few films such as Dabangg 3, Radhe, and Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan are terrible drama films that suit a young new actor, not Salman Khan who is hailed as one of the country’s biggest superstars. His last film ‘T3’ was one of the most awaited films of the year. It was predicted to gross over 800 crores globally. Though the film achieved success but didn’t perform to expectations. Also, the storyline, screenplay, and direction disappointed many.

    Thankfully, Salman has accepted his mistake after seeing the kind of reception Pathaan, Jawan, Salaar 1, and KGF 2 have received from the audience.

    Salman Khan is now looking to work with experienced big directors from the South Film Industry, collaborate with big producers, and sign interesting subjects. Sikandar is a big drama film with a strong script and a fresh story. Besides Sikandar, Salman Khan is discussing several big films. He has signed several big films in recent times. After Sikandar, his upcoming rumored films are Atlee’s next, Vishnu Vardhan’s next, Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2, Kick 2, and T vs P.

    T vs P is the dream project of Aditya Chopra. Aditya Chopra owns the YRF Universe which has delivered films like ETT, TZH, T3, Pathaan, and W1 led by Salman Khan, Shahrukh Khan, and Hrithik Roshan. The next film is from the Universe Alpha, a female film led by Alia Bhatt. YRF is also producing W2 which is under production. Pathaan 2 is confirmed too. And we might see T4 in some years. But it’s T vs P that would be a dream project for YRF as it will have India’s two biggest movie stars Salman and Shahrukh together for an entire film. And surely this will take several years to come in reality.

    Salman Khan is also discussing a film with Karan Johar. According to the reports, the film is titled ‘The Bull’ and it will be directed by Vishnu Vardhan (director of Shershaah). Salman Khan is also confirmed to star in Jawan director Atlee’s next. The rumored film will have two big movie stars, one from Bollywood and the other one from the Tamil Film Industry. Salman Khan and Kamal Hassan are rumored to star together in this film directed by Atlee.

    Salman is also looking to announce the sequel of his most loved and his most successful film ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’. Kick 2 is also discussed.

     

  • Decoding The Salman Khan 3.0

    Salman Khan wants to make a big comeback

    Salman Khan is one of the biggest movie stars in India. He is a true superstar in the Bollywood Industry. Despite the setbacks he has somehow managed to stay at the top. But he has to be very watchful with his upcoming films. He has been blessed with a massive fan following in Asia. But his taste in his last few films has left his fans worried.

    In his 1.0, between 1989 and 2006. Salman Khan delivered quite a few box office hits. He was a popular star but not a superstar. He faced setbacks in 2006-2008 by delivering a few consecutive flops.

    But he changed his gears in 2008 and thus began the thrust of Salman Khan 2.0.

    In 2008 Salman Khan collaborated with director Prabhu Deva for Wanted. Upon its release, Wanted became a massive success at the box office. But nobody had expected that Wanted would happen to be Salman Khan’s turning point in his Bollywood career. Post Wanted Salman Khan understood that the audience wanted to see him massive entertainer and he started doing such films. Post Wanted every film he did was a massive hit at the box office. Films such as Dabangg, Ready, and Bodyguard. In between he always produced a film titled ‘Chillar Party’. Salman Khan won the National Award for Best Children’s Film for Chillar Party.

    In 2013 Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif starred together in Kabir Khan and YRF’s ETT. The romantic film was the highest-grossing film of the year and broke several box office records. ETT was the first instalment from YRF’s current film franchise the ‘Universe’. Which is the biggest and most successful film franchise in Bollywood. After ETT, Salman starred Dabangg 2, Kick and Prem Ratan Dhan Payo. All massively successful films at the box office.

    In 2015 Salman Khan collaborated with Kabir Khan for Bajrangi Bhaijaan which is the most special film for Salman Khan. His performance in Bajrangi Bhaijaan is been held as his career-best performance. Bajrangi Bhaijaan is considered one of the best Indian films to date and one of the biggest hits for Salman Khan grossing over 900+ crores. Bajrangi Bhaijaan even won the National Film Award for the most popular film with wholesome entertainment.

    Post Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Salman Khan starred in Sultan and TZH. Upon its release, Sultan and TZH opened to rave reviews and positive responses. By the end of its theatrical run, both films had emerged as blockbusters. But who knew it would be the end of giving blockbuster films for Salman Khan at the box office?

    Since 2018, Salman Khan has been struggling to hit a big box office such as his previous films Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Sultan, and TZH. He has been widely criticized for doing mediocre and nonsense films such as Radhe, Race 3, Dabangg 3, and Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan. He has been advised by critics and fans to do big event films.

    In 2023, Bollywood saw a big change in terms of the perception of the audience. The audience no longer wants to see something average on the screen. Successful films of 2023 such as Pathaan, Jawan, and Animal showed that the audience now thus wants big high-octane films with a strong subject and story. Salman Khan’s Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan was released in 2023 to negative reviews. The film still did decent business because of Salman Khan’s superstardom. But it is considered a horrible film. In the same year, Salman Khan delivered his much-awaited T3. T3 was predicted to become one of the highest-grossing films of all time. However, the film received mixed reviews and did not perform as per expectations. Though the film did good business at the box office.

    Now after a series of constant average films, Salman Khan has once again changed gears and began his 3.0. He is now looking to do high-octane films with strong subjects or stories and work only with big filmmakers.

    Salman Khan has no release in 2024 as he is busy shooting Sikander. Sikander is an upcoming high-budget film starring Salman Khan. The makers of Sikander are pretty confident in terms of making the film. The film is a strong story and producer Sajid Nadiadwala is spending hundreds of crores on the lavishness of the film. The film is said to be shot in many international locations as well. The film is directed by A.R Murugadoss who is considered as one of the finest filmmakers of India and one of the biggest directors from the south. Sikander is expected to become a massive blockbuster when it releases. The star Rashmika Mandhana is the female lead.

    Besides Sikander, Salman Khan is set to collaborate with Karan Johar and Vishnu Vardhan. The film is titled ‘The B’. Vishnu Vardhan who directed Shershaah for Karan Johar will be directed by Salman Khan in The Bull. The film is still in pre-production and is expected to release in 2026. Salman Khan and Karan Johar are set to collaborate for the first time for a big full-fledged film.

    After Sikander and The B, Salman Khan is rumored to collaborate with Kabir Khan for an film. Salman Khan is also in the news for collaborating with popular director Atlee who directed one of the biggest hits of all time ‘Jawan’. According to the reports, Atlee is planning a two-hero big film with Salman Khan and a superstar from the south. If the reports are to be believed it’s either Rajinikanth or Fahadh Faasil with Salman Khan in Atlee’s next.

    In an event in 2021, Salman Khan confirmed that Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2 is planned too. So, the Salman Khan 3.0 looks good. He has quite a few promising films in the pipeline and he is working with big directors.
