From the King of Romance to Pathaan | FC PopCorn | A Film Companion Original

[@quazimunira]

It is not possible to put SRK in buckets like this. He started with films like Maya Memsab. But then he also did a Raju Ban gaya. He changed the definition of a hero through Baazigar and Darr. He brought back the sweet romance through DDLJ and KKHH. He showed his subtle side in Swades and Veer Zara ..... honestly this can go on and on. It is convenient to label SRK as a romantic hero. But in reality, he has always done different things in his career.

I wouldn't describe this as SRK 2.0. I would say this is more like SRK 4.0. Each of his decades in the industry have been very distinct from each other.

[@priyanshkumar2807]

Eggjactly... SRKs First Version of himself is recognized as his Antagonistic Version... while the 2.0 was his era of romance starting from DDLJ to Om Shanti Om or Maybe till My Name Is Khan or Jab Tak Hai Jaan... and then his downfall started when he turned out himself as his 3.0 Version from Chennai Express(the intentions might not were wrong but it was what it was till Zero)... and now his lineup of Pathaan, Jawan and Dunki looks like his 4.0 Version... looks like he's coming back keeping in mind what audiences want from him... that's the SRK 4.0🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

As much as I respect this conversation, it's kind of double standard to ask Shahrukh to bring back that romance. Till Zero, he was asked to let go of these romantic roles and focus on something else and now they want him to bring that romance again! Where's the logic in this? He's 57. He has to chart out a new path of action for his career to sustain. It's not about action films as well. With Dunki, he's gonna be that sweet, charming guy on screen again. It's a good mixture of films he has lined up.

Totally agreed. They are totally acting like hypocrite. When he does romance ,they say his age doesn't suit it. When he does different, they want romance. Indian critics are bullshit.

[@ironicaaz3593]

I agree with u. I used to hear. “Oh he’s is so old and he is romanticising with such a young girl”. And now I am hearing -“ he should do a romantic movie again”. Are these donkeys seriously donkeys or are they just some topsy turvy confused humans. Either way, I don’t care about what they were saying or what they are saying now. Srk is coming back. Be it abs or not. I dont care. He is doing everything for us. He never went after superstardom. It came to him on its own. He made brilliant movies like Fan and Zero in which there were no abs but still people criticised him. That’s the shit reality that we are living in.

[@saahilsiddiqui6762]

I disagree with the point that his stardom has limitations if he can't change the course of films. He has successfully changed the course, thrice. First as the anti-hero of early 90s. Then as the romantic guy from mid 90s and then in late 00s after Chakde. At some point, you do run out of these tickets and have to listen to the markets as well

Infact, I would like to see a Salman or an Aamir try to change the course of the indsutry. Aamir's formula is as old as Lagaan. Salman changed the course once in 2010 by riding on remakes and the southern formula of massy films. Akshay brought in the wave of nationalism. These are stars from late 80s and early 90s.

[@harshsinghbindra7471]

100% agreed

[@bilal_ahmed1011]

In my opinion he's always been this character driven artist. A large chunk of his career was painted with some beautiful romantic roles but you could see him easily divulge in others even during those times. Movies like Swades being good examples of that. So now the movies he's selected are presenting him in this light but his core remains the same. To adapt to the spirit of the character and plunge into it neck deep.

It is not Khan's responsibility to cater to what a segment of the audience likes especially the critics. The critics do not like 99% of the stuff anyway. Khan should just do the kind of stories that he truly enjoys telling. None of these people matter tbh. None of them.

[@ironicaaz3593]

Well said. I agree with u. I am a fan of Shah Rukh. And whatever he does always makes me happy. There is not a single movie that I don’t like in the era, which they are calling disappointing. And more importantly, I was born in 2005. I am not even a 90’s kid. But his movies were very magical to me. Yep I also started with his romantic movies only. But his new version was never bad.

To be very honest,,, this type of conversations of people like you have destroyed Bollywood.

[@utsav2776]

I disagree with almost everything that they said here. They said that Khan starting catering to the superstardom and mass audiences post 2007. Let's just look at the movies Khan did and decide for yourself: 1. 2007 - Om Shanti Om and Chak De India. Was Chak De catering to mass and superstar or the male audience they refer to?? In OSO, they themselves agreed that it was a tongue in cheek take on the Bollywood industry of the times that basically said that a starson with a six pack and no talent, could still become the big star. How was it catering to mass? How is that catering to male audience or the superstar? It was all exactly opposite of that. A star of SRK's stature is making a complete fool of himself in OSO as Om Kapoor the star and making the audience chuckle n entertain. That's not pandering to superstardom. 2. 2008 - Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi He made Surinder Sahni, the meek ordinary middle class guy win over the leading lady n the audiences alike, while 'the' Raj, who symbolised the glossy exterior n flamboyance, lost. How is that pandering to superstardom or male audience... How ? 3. 2009 - he had an extended cameo in Billu. Not going to comment on this 20 minute appearance. 4. 2010 - My Name Is Khan He played a guy with Asperger's syndrome and won critical acclaim for it. You would be nuts if you think this is catering to superstardom or male audience or exterior or whatever. 5. 2011 - Ra. One and Don 2 He tried something new again with India's first full fledged superhero genre in RaOne and stylized action in Don 2. 6. 2012 - Jab Tak Hai Jaan A Yash Chopra romance with a flimsy storyline but Khan stood tall as Samar Anand and grounded the narrative in each n every scene n made the audiences fall in love with him again. Khan played Samar differently, one with brooding intensity, maturity and cool. It was a swoony Yash Chopra love story. There was no action there. 7. 2013 - Chennai Express Khan attempted something different again. He went all out with a complete madcap comedy. It had the love story too but that Chennai Express Rahul was completely different from his earlier Raj n Rahul. In that film, in one scene, the leading lady kicks him out of the bed... Is that pandering to superstar. The movie had mass action because it was a Rohit Shetty film. 8. 2014 - Happy New Year- A Farah Khan dance based comedy masala film. No action here too. 9. 2015 - Fan, Dilwale Rohit Shetty masala film. It had some action but much less than other Rohit films plus it had Kajol kicking some ass too. 10.2016 - Fan, Dear Zindagi Fan was Khan's best performance ever and he did completely out of the blue stuff. Again, he played something very different in DZ as Dr Jehangir Khan, a psychiatrist I guess who was kind, mature, gentle, wise. How is that pandering to male audience or to the superstardom???? How?????? 11. 2017 - Raees, Jab Harry Met Sejal In Raees, he played an earthy character in a bootlegger with a heart of gold. It was a good mass entertainer, had real good believable action pieces. It was very different from what Khan had ever done before. JHMS - Again different stuff. It was an edgy love story. Khan for the first time played a womanizer ... First time ever. He played a lost, lonely, bruised n battered tour guide whose only cure was an unassuming simpleton like Sejal. How is that pandering to superstardom??? 12. 2018 - Zero He played a vertically challenged character n owned the role. Need I say more?? So, basically Khan has done something different every single time but these people just can't see it. They just want to put their own perceptions and assumptions on his filmography and there is absolutely no truth to their words.

[@nishitharamachandra2448]

I agree, in all the 90's Rahul and Raj SRK acted as were just a bit annoying and pretty similar. Even before oso he did try different roles like Devdas (as a NRI who is easily angry and sad in the second half, different from his typical Rahul and Raj) and Veer Zara (as a calm and gentle lover ) . They say that in Swades he is a lover boy but I don't think so and definitely not like the Rahul and Raj type.2006 was Don and KANK ( a nassersistic and disappointed guy) were he played completely different roles unlike his lover boy ones.

[@thenerdyboii6436]

He's at an age when he can and should do whatever the hell he wants. It's crazy. South mein their stars can continue to do the same old stuff they have been doing for so long and they can still survive on it, and here we have such a dynamic actor with such a great range trying different things for his audience and we want him to stick to a template while also wanting him to give us something different every time? Make up your fucking minds, yaar. And not to mention, itni discussion ka kya point jab dene bhi 2.5/3 star hi hai tumko.

[@gourabsamantaray3089]

Don't stick ur perspectives on SRK. He is not in an age to pull off romantic characters n if he does, it won't be BO friendly. So just enjoy the films and keep loving him.

[@RK19091]

I don't agree that there have been different versions of SRK like 2.0 or 3.0 as such. He has always struck a fine balance between different genres ever since he debuted. If you see his career trajectory there was a darr between raju ban gaya gentleman and ddlj, there was a Don between KANK and rab ne Bana di jodi. Basically there have always been films like anjaam, baazigar, ram jaane, darr, fan, raees at one end of the spectrum and then there were films like pardes, k2h2, dil toh pagal hai, veer Zaara etc. at the other end of the spectrum. Pathan is no different in that regard and it comes in the same broader category of action oriented slick edgy films like Don, Don 2, Ra One etc. Dunki again comes in the same broader category of light drama films like Swades, dear zindagi, rab ne Bana di jodi etc. So this talk about SRK 2.0 , 3.0 doesn't hold much water honestly.

[@misterfatih23]

Couldnt agree more

[@BeccaLovesSRK]

There are so many really interesting things that SRK could do now other than action. Personally I would love to see him do a Bela Lugosi style Dracula, a courtroom drama, a detective movie... and I would give anything for one more romantic movie. I want SRK do an age appropriate love story with one of his 90s heroines. He’s aging like a fine wine and he’s a better actor now than he has ever been before. I really believe he could make something beautiful and epic like Veer-Zaara or Jab Tak Hai Jaan if he got the chance. Just give him a character close to his own age that fits his beloved archetype and an actress like Kajol or Madhuri or even Aish and watch the sparks fly. I’m sure Adi could write something lovely. He’s already written at least 5 of SRKs best love stories. Maybe even Karan if Adi won’t do it. I’d understand if SRK doesn’t want to, but to be honest, there will never be another lover like him. Nobody in 30 years has even come close. He is and will always be the king of romance, and, for me, romance dies with him. I’m not ready to let go of that yet.

[@shrutimukkamala412]

The abs, the physical transformation seem also a way to prolong the "hero"/protagonist into his 50s. Our male stars do not age, they just "change."

[@AZZU_Speaks]

One thing I must say is, they ignored the fact that what kind of films were made post 2007.. Whatever they are are calling SRK 2.0, does RNBDJ fall in that phase of SRK? No. It's a 2008 movie and unique in all therms.. One way to sum up the whole conversation is they don't want SRK to be versatile and want him to be romantic.. Then corms people who say SRK is romancing actresses half of his age, whereas they have no issues when Rajnikanth do so.. This interviews fails to acknowledge the experiments SRK did in this period Ra One, Fan and Zero.. Among these these 3 film, Fan and Zero is nowhere close to high testosterone films.. The ultimate point is, people have such high expectation of SRK which is not a cake of direct generation of directors.. If Zero was hit, we would have got tons of new experimental films for sure.. U can't predict SRK, he is versatile and u should appreciate it instead of calling it lack of his stardom...That was the biggest lol claim of the interview... As if he is the only one who makes everything of his film.. Look at the current phase of bollywood and he has not done remakes since the beginning of his career.. Expected little broader perspective from this interview, therefore I give it 2* out of 5.. 🐸

It would be so frustrating for SRK to listen ppl asking him to do the romantic roles again, cuz when he was doing everyone was like ki wahi same cheez baar baar kar raha hai, usko kuch alag karna chahiye when he tries something hatke, doing films like fan, zero, dear zindagi, those films don't do well at the box office, and now he is doing something massy, still ppl have problem. And my pov is ki aaj ke din audience is not much into romantic movies, everything has it's own time, now ppl want to see mass action, or anything which gives them adrenaline rush.

But I would definitely go to a cinema hall to watch bahubali or rrr or pathaan

[@phenomenal14U]

So you want him to be a soft man, almost like a man child, Than what about being dynamic in his filmography

[@SG97916]

There are no 2.0 or 3.0. There is only one SRK who has always been the same and who is for some reason unable to understand what the audience wants. He is still perceived as a Romantic hero. Also, he is considered to be the biggest superstar ever but looking at his performances both as an actor or at the box-office, his record is pretty much average. There are more of his bad films and bad performances than his good ones. Nonetheless, it is not that he isn't a good actor but even a good actor needs a good director. Just look at his best performances, all of them had very good directors. The problem is SRK still looks at the numbers rather than the content.

[@Raider4967]

Why you guys are obsessed with him playing rahul and Raj he already mentioned in his ig live it now feels odd romancing young girls and rahul n raj is for the younger guys to play.

Shah Rukh Khan has done something different each n every single time and they just can't appreciate him. They suffer from nostalgia overload. Of course, we all love SRK from the 90s n the 2000s but the guy has done remarkable work in the last decade n from 2007 too. Box office numbers do not dictate how good or bad the actor was. They just tell you whether the film clicked with the audience of the time or not.

I quite disagree with this analysis. Om Shanti Om came out in 2007. Up until Pathaan, SRK was making remarkable movies like My Name is Khan, Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, Billu, Dear Zindagi, Zero and Fan. None of these movies had him showing off his abs. They were fascinating, mature films that showed him developing as an actor, departing from the earlier mold. Now in his 50s we get to see him as the buff action hero, a role he has said he always wanted to play, in the kind of films that his kids like to watch. As an older woman, I love seeing this great actor pushing himself to be at his peak, physically, even while joking around about aging. I hope it inspires us all.

Until the director, producers, critics, and tastemakers genuinely elevate the young generation as the new stars of the era, the primary ticket purchasers will still look to the stars of yesteryear to define cinema for them. The same ppl who were the lead directors, producers, and critics in the 90s and 00s are still the primary players today, so naturally they want to cling to the familiar bankable stars. They need to instead expand their imagination and inject life into new blood.

Surprisingly shallow analysis for 2 reasons : 1. The so-called SRK 2.0 after Om Shanti Om rarely played the "muscular and masculine roles". After 2007, he did Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, My Name is Khan, Dear Zindagi, Fan, Zero, Jab Harry Met Sejal. 2. The critics said that SRK should stop playing romantic roles. SRK has fans who expect different things from him. The fact is that the majority of the fans now want to see him as a superstar in a larger-than-life role.

Disagree with them,he has not 'only' catered to the masses,just see the directors he has worked in the last decade

[@raghav1827]

His time is gone..nation is bored of khans ...we like now real stars from South

SRK didn’t needed to do a movie like Pathaan he has tried different concepts like Fan RAONE and Zero what he needed to was to polish those concept

[@priyanshuraj4328]

[@amritananda6804]

He has done dear zindagi and raees too in the last 10 yrs those were experimental as well. Also MNIK. This podcast didnt do justice to Srks filmography at all

[@anilkumarjena688]

PATHAAN BLUCKBUSTER 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@ShoeibShargo]

Just like Virat Kohli, SRK too has become a victim of his own success.

[@singhv1979]

A VCF film? you mean VVC. At about 8 mins

[@sadanrasaily3237]

There is no way human can be satisfied with anything. When, he is doing romance oh the same romance same love story do something different and then when he does other genres oh please we wont the same old SRK anything that has ruined his past few years are double standard people who are never happy and satisfied with anything and appreciate others hardworks let the man breathe and do the cinemas of his choice 😏😏😏😏😏

[@prabevj7538]

Not a full episode…Anupama are you cheating on Us 😢?

[@sharmilpradeep2363]

Have neither time nor interest to deeply think of who actors are in real life. I just want entertainment from Movies 🎬 I chose to watch No hullabaloo about actors Me n my group of ladies waiting to watch this one next irrespective of anything

[@SamirKhan-pz8yd]

These clowns are asking an actor who is 58 years of age to do romance what kind of thinking they have I can't understand.. i love srk now doing the Film which justifies his stardom people move on and change at different times of life and srk in now turned into a box office monster which is good for him in my opinion.. such a trash discussion 🥴

[@sureshyadav-kl5gb]

you higher class people why you think you own srk...........srk never was and will be high class role model....he is and was and he will be middle class role model

[@harshsinghbindra7471]

4:45 what a load of bullshit. My name is khan, rab ne, billu, dear zindagi, fan, raees. None of these are the superstar driven salman khan type films.. they are all srk orignals..good or bad but they are unique and not just a commercial potboiler

[@HabiburRahman-xs9gb]

SRK should never ever do another romantic movie ever again. Next year SRK should do some serious films or character roles, or maybe do a movie without any song and dance. Suspense thriller, heavy drama where he does not do over acting. More movies like Sawdes/Chak de/MNIK. Character roles not romantic hero/action hero/comedy hero.

[@sarthaksood2819]

female hero, feminine hero and feminist hero are different things, dont use them interchangebly.

[@shreyaschaturvedi1933]

this is great! except i skipped it at first looking at the thumbnail. i thought it was gonna be some boring video essay. love the podcast though

[@iiman]

Leaving aside Anupama, she was clearly trying to be on the with the other 2 boys. But come on boy’s do some more research, its SRK’s 3 decades of successful career you are talking about!

[@humorme2432]

These new kids will not understand what SrK was back in 2000s.. Judging srk post Om shanti om is strange and kinda childish..

[@punyabratadutta2306]

Respectfully I disagree. I think a star who is also a good actor/perfomer always chooses to do all kinds of films. We can't expect a 57 years old guy to do romance!! If he consciously took an effort to cater to SRK 2.0 audience, then it's his choice. I'm his fan still I hated his recent films. If it's a good movie, then I don't have the baggage of charming SRK in my mind. Shahid, Ranbir are also following similar pattern though

[@AVINASHKUMAR-dm2vj]

Your opinion doesn't matter at all. You're just putting your thoughts, on how u wanted to see him on the screen. It's like having Dal - Chawal again and again. And u can't be doing the same roles considering he's now 57 . And today the audience wants to see never ever seen content on the big screen. So, whatever he's choosing now will be great anyhow. Anupama Mam pls throw these 2 chapri boys immediately.

[@Muswell]

He's 57. He can't keep playing a hero romancing the women like he used to. I mean - do we want to see him chatting up 50yr old women? Would that sell tickets? So he has had to find another niche. And, actually, he never wanted to do romantic films -- he ALWAYS wanted to be an action hero. But, yes, they could stop filming his abs in every dance sequence - that's kinda boring now -- especially when they use make-up to enhance the muscles -- that just looks ridiculous.

[@saurabhshinde3540]

Everyone except for srk is promoting the film. The vulnerability around has made him to lie low i suppose. He's also not produced this one. Probably he has let the film to fly on it's own this time. Anyways the hype is still there.
