HRITIK ROSHAN'S KOI MIL GAYAA... A BENCHMARK PERFORMANCE FOR TODAY'S ACTORS
by Ranvir Kumar on Feb 04, 2007 01:41 AM  | Hide replies

Any actor who can play a mentally challenged person as HRITIK did in KOI MIL GAYAA and do it with APLOMB...with ABSOLUTE PERFECTION can play just about ANY ROLE TO PERFECTION...Lagaan would be a cakewalk for HRITIK. And this man would have played GURU truly like a GURU...Unlike your MILKSHAKE BACHCHA...who really has a lottt of growing up to do... improve his convent diction and give at least a decent performance...it will be longggggggggg time before he comes even close to being a guru!!! looks like Milkshake is destined only to be a 'shishya'...that too a bad one !!! A true acting role which is a benchmark for young heroes of today is HRITIK'S KOI MIL GAYAA... which only an actor of the calibre HRITIK ROSHAN is capable of !!!

You can be a Hritik fan,but remember ,he too delivers his best under daddy dearest's guidance.Abhishek started off badly,but in Yuva ,Bunty aur Babli,Bluffmaster and now Guru he has done a very good job.Hritik has given his best under dad Rakesh's packaging and direction.Of course he has done a good job in films like Mission Kashmir,Fiza and Lakshya under other directors.Stop comparing these two star sons and especially stop comparing these two to seniors like Aamir and SRK.Why do have to bring Lagaan into this post? That was an amazing film only the great Aamir had the guts to produce.Nobody in the industry was willing to touch it when Ashutosh made the rounds of industry bigwigs.thank AG and AK for giving I ndian cinema a gem called Lagaan.And as to AB Sr speaking up for his son,it is a little over the top but forgivable as a father's pride.

Ok so dhoom 2,Fiza,lakshya were all daddy's movies? Agreed some of his movies did not do too well, still they grossed much more than most other so-called hits. You cant say he performs best only in his father's movies,you may say that his father's movies have been the most successful. By that yardstick Uday Chopra should have been the best actor today.How much did Bluffmaster make? None of his movies had any great performance except Yuva and GURU which were good. So one can safely conclude that Abhishek only performs in mani ratnam movies, evn though they may be flops and his other movies have done decent business even thou his performance was pretty ordinary..

yes, agreed. Hrithik has his own style since KMG. He is original and puts his touch in most roles. Also, another high quality work is in Fiza. Even in duds like NTJNH he has shown flashes of brilliance namely the climax scene.

Abhishek is good too in Guru, but he still has shades of Amitabh in his style even when he is directed by a ManiRatnam who even makes poles act.

Yes Maniratnam can make a pole act but cannot make SRK act. One such example is Dil Se. Worst Maniratnam movie.

Talking about benchmark, look at the standard srt by Hritik in the Dancing dept. We surely know he can act, and his dance is his usp.

Also mentioning about Abhishek, he obviously will have his father's style, its in his genes, isn't it?

why did u watch KMG in the first place? Even comparing hrithik and Abhi may be wrong, but Bollywood to hollywood? Or may be you did not see kmg at all and are just passing some comments. Guys like you must be even hating to call yourself an indian! Grow up man, learn to appreciate what we have here rather then licking america's shoes..

Yep, where can you get an almost perfect package like that! Looks, body,dancing,acting,hard work,sincerity.He worked really hard against all odds to make it.Media were after his blood when his movies flopped even thou he did not have a central role in 90% of the movies.But to AB they were pretty kind..

AB Sr is not doing anything bad to promote his son, after all it is talent taht will matter in the long run. But why the people are comparing Abhishek and Hritik unnecessarily. So far Abhishek does not look any where near to Hritik. But do not drag the talented Hritik here.........

Hi
by on Feb 03, 2007 05:03 PM  | Hide replies

Hey guys firstly Amitabh has all reasons to be proud of Abhishek after Guru.Let him enjoy his son's success.

Why the hell are people dragging Hrithik's name here?People who call Hrithik a dancing hero,or an action hero have clearly not seen either Lakshya,Mission Kashmir or Fiza.He has put in great performances in all movies except MPKDH which was crap.

Biased Abhishek fans are the ones who are jealous of Hrithik and dragging his name for no reason.Some guy is challenging Hrithik to do a simple common man's role:I am challenging Abhishek to do Hrithik's role in Koi Mil Gaya.About awards,Hrithik came very close to winning a national award for KMG but ultimately lost it to tamil superstar Vikram.The matter of fact is some actors are best suited for some roles;and there is no exception to that rule,not even Hrithik,not even Abhishek.Hrithik would have never been able to Abhi's role in Yuva and Abhi would have never been able to do Hrithik's role in either Laskhya or Mission Kashmir.

And lastly,Rediff get a life dude.Do something constructive instead of writing such crap articles.I know you want to cash in on the hottest marriage this season,but why post such dumb articles.

If hrithik had done yuva, which BTW was offered to him,people would have focussed more on the fact that the movie has flopped rather than hrithik's performance. How can Abhishek get an ward for Yuva which had flopped and Hrithik not get it for Lakshya which was an average earner? The same yardstick of success should be applicale to everyone..

Big deal!
by Arati on Feb 03, 2007 12:45 PM  | Hide replies

I think Abhishek was great in Guru.. He got his first hit in Dhoom after a string of 17 flops. It takes a lot of perseverance to continue to struggle after so many flops and the pressure to live up to the "Bachchan" surname. After so long, he is finally getting noticed. So let him enjoy the fruits of his hard work.

Sick as I am of reading about Aishwarya and Abhishek, the hype cannot be avoided. I am also tired of reading about Big B raving about his sons' performance. But what the heck?! He is a proud father and I see no harm in him trying to use his influence to give his son a better future. Big deal!!

I hope John Abraham and all those from outside gets as many chances as Abhishek got!!!
Also, after countless number of flops he never got written off or labeled as FINISHED (as some were like Hrithik even after HIT in KNPH, K3G) but as lambi race ka ghoda. Averages at the BO are not termed as successes for other's film. Sarkar is considered a HIT but Laksya a FLOP?

SRK's DON a unsuccesful film by Bachchan fanatics of this country?

Why such special treatement for some?

But then we are still live in the feudal world, Father is a legend so greatness has to be trust upon untalented people too.

In Hollywood we dont see fathers promoting their sons, the sons find their forte on their own.

Indians need to come out of the feudal system.
Bollywood daddies need to calm down be it Bachchan or Kapoor or a Roshan!

Atleast Bachchans, Roshans has their real fathers backing their sons. SRK has false fathers like Yash Chopra and Yash Johar.
SRK's Don (actually DON'T) is hit only for SRk fans.
First you have to be Special to get special treatment.
Do not talk about Hollywood. I have never seen a third class actor like SRK in Hollywood.
Abhishekh, Hrithik, Sunny at one time is finding their own forte. Why are you scared? Do not worry about what rediff tells you here.

If they were not star kids... big zeros....otherwise how abi and hrit got films again and again after flops and flops only....one reason... Big B and other one His father a director and PRODUCER (if he is only a director no body will ask him to direct.And SRK he came without any godfather... why Yash chopra became his father (At taht time there was so many Actors wandering in BW)because he find him capable... but now he bacame a true star... try to appricate...

You really mean hrithik got the movies because of rakesh Raoshan? The poor man could not act in any A grade movie himslef. Give us a break. Hrithik's first movie was a hit and almost all his movies were signed simultaneously. The best directors made the worst movies of their career with him, is it his fault? And in almost all movies he was more like a supporting actor- Sanju was the main in MK,Fiza was Karishma's movie,Yaadein was Jackie's etc..Even a YRF gave him a flop movie like MDK.However he still gave his best performance, where as Abhi is still pretty mediocre in his acting except for Guru and Yuva.The media tried their best to bring Hrithik down but he worked hard and succeded.
Hrithik is the only star today who has learnt the knack of turning avrage movies into super hits just by his magnetic personality.Rakesh Roshan is not seen so much in the media, but when people were bashing hrithik from all quarters he had to talk, so what is wrong with that? Stardust was the worst to Hrithik, on emonth they have him on cover FINISHED, still two months later they have him again- CAN Hrithik ever come back? The point is Hrithik's face on the cover was required to sell their magazine and then they give him best actoir for Lakshya, which he truly deserves. It was a fantastic movie, but I guess it did not do too well because it did not ahve any cheap front bench stuff and was a serious movie

i cant understand one thing now or then we people just talk about bachans. why? what have they done special for us? bachan is the most intelligent buisnessmen in the film industry he was in debt like ne thing ,now c wiot the help of tht corrupt, foolish and unbearable amar singh he cleared all his debt. guys just think for a moment wat amitabh is trying 2 do, he thinks he can promote his son and make him the superstar. dont u people believe in selfmaking? ask urself is abhishek self made? common guys there r so many guys outside who r tall, dark,handsome and most important better actors than abhishek,cud they dream of becoming an actor not at all,bcoz they are not bachan or roshan? if abhishek wud have never been a son of amitabh he would have never got a chance in tis industry? simple thing. amitabh is no doubt a very fine actor but that doesnot mean he is a gud citizen, he still ows millons to tax dept.,involved wit those politicians who dont have any dignity. so guys stop discussing them they are not worth of ur talk, u people have better things to do.

Isnt it amazing that Rakesh Roshan could not promote himself but is promoting his son? How do you know Amitabh didnot promote abhishek. Not just that when his times were bad he himself went to Yash and adi and actally asked for work.That is how Mohabattein and then KKKG happened. BB himself said this that he is gratefult o both the Yashjis..So obviously he must be promoting Abhishek.
In case of Hrithik, he did not need much promotion. After seeing knph eveyone wanted to sign him and the poor guy blindly signed all wrong movies. Hrithik's best friends since childhood are Aditya Chopra, Uday Chopra, karan johar,Farhan Akhtar etc. Hrithik did not even think at that time that all these will be directors etc today.So why would anyone need to promote him?
