It's always important to give first-time directors a little leeway for errors. Direction may not be rocket science but debut projects often has some raw edges. ------------------------- Is the columnist trying to be some liberal teacher? How about "Reservoir Dogs" for a debut movie? How about raw edges in that movie?
Movie direction may not be a rocket science, but it is not everybody's cup of tea. You can have only one QT or one Gulzar

if u are comparing DMG with Reservoir Dogs, then seriously I have nothing to say to you. BTW vaswani is not a spring chicken
Most of the comments seem to be eager to compare 3 Idiots with DMG?Why?DMG is a shelved movie--and its a mistake to even bring it out now.Secondly,SRK had a 65 min role,agreed--but even Salman had a 75 min role in KKHH...was it a Salman movie?Same logic-DMG is not a SRK movie...Kindly compare 3 Idiots with My Name Is Khan..and we will find out who the actual 'idiot' is!

Ofcourse MNIK is not going to beat 3 Idiots. SRK is already a loser. He has got a good wallop from AK by Gajni. Still he is not satisfied. He wants more beating from Aamir. He wanted to market Billu in a clever manner. It it could be a hit then he could say it is a SRk movie and so it was hit. Since it is a flop , now the SRK camp is saying SRk had a cameo role. Man..please accept SRK has completely lost to Ace Khan. The bigest reason is that SRK is afraid to go out of the camp.He did not take 3 idiots. In any case MNIK is going to earn less in the Box office and in that case it is another defeat of SRK to Aamir. Already Mr. Clever Johar said it will be a difficult feat to achieve to match the success of 3Is.

SRK did this movie as a token of thanks for his friends. He completed his shooting in 2 days flat. But you losers want some excuse to put down SRK, thats all.
BTW, who cares about box office records? If u care, please also note how SRK movies have fared in last 16 years where he beat Aamir all ends. But audience goes to see movie to get entertained not to judge how much money it is going to make.

For your kind information see the below statistics: SRK: 70 movies -19 cameo- 20 hits-31 flops-39 % success AAMIR: 39 movies -1 guest appearence - 16 hits-22 flops-42% success Now I don't think I have to tell you who has a better strike rate. BTW, a movie makes more money is a clear indication of whether people are enjoying it or not. so, please eat your words otherwise you will be a laughing stock.

hey santanu.. let me tell you, SRK was the 1st to buy KKR....first to come up with TV shows..first to produce movies.. first to get its animation company..first to get his redchillies banner into advertising.. he is now coming up with the largest no. of international school chains..he is making one of the biggest cricket stadium in Dubai...one of the biggest movie studios in Bombay.. he is the first one to tie up with FOX...and first one to release any bollywood movie in 70 countries..do u think.. FOX guys r idiots..to tie up in a 100 cr. deal.. He is gone far more than wht ur Aamir can do... SRK has never kissed a girl in movies..never been into any extra-relationships.. he has made farah khan.stand..KJO stand..he has helped..sajid khan.. he is now beyond an actor..he has even beaten Tom Cruise in popularity.. So ...i will suggest try to do even 0.01 % of wht he has done..and than speak against him..OK>>.....

Brother, You lost the track. We know SRK is rich and has lots of business interest and invested in many businesses. If you are so serious to prove your point then please write a blog in the Financial Times and compare his success with real riches like Mittal or Gates. Here we are discussing movies. It is a fact Aamir makes better movies, more sensible movies, more enjoying movies , movies with social messages,etc. While SRK takes movie making as business.This is the difference. Even a small average movie like Jane Tu Ya jane Naa becomes hit, because it has Aamir's midas touch. Anyway, wait till 14th Feb,2010. In any case even SRK and KJo know it very well, that that so called hyped MNIK will not do business as good as 3I. So it is very evident that he is going to lose his King Khan status. Now, it will be Aamir Khan's rule. Just now got an info that Oscar Winner Robert Redfort invied our Ace Khan for dinner and he is most probably going to make something with AK. On the other hand SRK's own camp Farha Khan ditched him.

This Maihoon Don is a "Chamcha" of Flop Master SRK. For your kind info, though SRK tried to copy Amitabh's Don. He failed at it too. The funny thing is that whatever he tries now he fails at it. Take Billu. Take KKR..it is a mega flop. Take DMG..a sure shot flop. Then the Blockbuster flop MNIK is on the way and there is no prize to guess its fate correctly. Even he tried to dance and makes himself injured. He tried to have camps then Y Raj camp already kicked his ass. They took Ranbir instead. Pepsi on the other hand has shown him the door. do you need any more instance?

hey saurabh,
he may (as you seem to believe) have a good business acumen. All of these above mentioned 'achievements' does not make him a great actor. Aamir 'the actor' is leagues ahead of SRK 'the actor'.
you say "SRK has never kissed a girl in movies". have you checked out Maya Memsaab. Leave alone kissing a girl. He almost became a pornstar. Talk of extramarital relations... you never know. Check out 'Tiger Woods' - A squeaky clean image till his can of worms spilled out. We 'the audience' still don't care a damn about all this. We are hear to see him act, and there are many others who do a much credible job than he does. Hands down.
