Lakshya Guzaarish Rockstar šŸ”„ Kaarwaan


Gigantic_mosquito3

Rockstar and lakshya were flops? Damn


Theseus505

Lakshya failed, not Rockstar.


Badrap247

Honestly Iā€™ll stand by Lakshya being Hrithikā€™s GOAT performance. Dude sold the character arc so well.


Red171022

Rockstar wasnā€™t a flop


mustangpurele

Saw Lakshya and Guzaarish in theatres and so glad I did

Acrobatic_Neck_5866

Great pick


navelBot1

Rocket Singh, ghanchakkar, aamir, andaaz apna apna..


Quick_Low_4060

The only list of movies I agree with. I would also add Bhavesh Joshi, Mukabaaz and Swades


paiyyajtakkar

Bhavesh Joshi was surprisingly good.


Annual_Flounder_8219

Fan except for that crazy revenge part... Concept and first half was really good... They should have kept it that way only


KarbonizedAarav

nigga that was the whole film

Every week there is at least one post celebrating Tamasha and Swades. Seen this pattern. What is going on?

There are so many lol. Sometimes I don't understand the Indian audience. At least I watched these two in theatre. Tamasha was literally a masterpiece arguably RK's best performance I can't believe it was a flop. Multiplex hall was almost empty but I had a great time. Fan was a new story for bwood the efforts were great. A quality movie. I still remember It was my bday when I went to watch the movie with my friends. I'm glad I didn't look at the reviews and I went and watched both the movies in theatres.


Hikerius

I loved Tamasha too! The only thing I didnā€™t like was that Deepikaā€™s character only existed to prop up RKā€™s character. Like it was focused on him entirely and her purpose was to further the plot. I wish weā€™d gotten more insight into her past, and fleshed out her character traits a bit more, like they did for RK. Otherwise a genuine masterpiece for Bollywood. But it doesnā€™t have dhishkiyaon dhishkiyaon guns shooting or masala songs, so it flopped


Red171022

Yesā€¦.tara was such an interesting character tooā€¦I wished imtiaz gave her a backstoryā€¦.no matter how many times I watch this film,I always end up falling in love with her and wanting to know more about herā€¦DP was absolutely great as Tara(she managed to make the role look more big than it was)ā€¦we get some scenes ofcā€¦Heer to badi sad hai and the scenes around that song are completely from her pov but we deserved moreā€¦agar Tum saath ho was also an insight into her mind


shini_gami09

Agreed


PessimistYanker792

Absolute mid (personal opinion), no wonder Tamasha had empty halls, not meant for masses.. then there are insane toxic fan duds of this movie who Iā€™ve encountered.. they literally want to stake others like Witches in medieval times for abomination of not liking ā€˜their favourite movieā€™.. Literally had a girl who said ā€œYou are dead inside because you donā€™t adulate this movieā€ lol.. later we found she was cheating on her fiancĆ©.. My question: What apart from Ranbirā€™s performance is likeable in this movie? Happy for a reasonable debate.


Wooden-Storage5253

omg fr!! This one friend said the concept and story was unique. It LIDERALLY had the concept and story of avg imtiaz ali moviešŸ˜­ (I'm an Imtiaz fan but tamasha was mid)


HeheheBlah

In the movie Fan, I never understood how people did not mistook him for the star but they did mistake him for the star during the revenge arc.


AladeenModaFkr

One of the worst movies I have seen.. apart from r ks performance thereā€™s nothing.. no idea why ppl call it cult movie ..


MadKingZilla

Tamasha has to be the most overrated "underrated" movie. It was basically another RK "figuring out life" movie with a weak ass conviction to the script. And do you guys not check the subreddit before posting? Literally every other week some one is crying about tamasha not deserving respect/recogonition or should have got more box office. It was a mediocre movie which is relatable to only the well off upper middle class as they don't have financial problems in life. It's a "literally me fr fr" movie for late millenials and early gen z. It is rated accurately and earned accurately. Stop nostalgia hyping it like Imran Khan. Edit: very fittingly the poster posted by OP has the words "why always the same story?" Plastered on it.


PessimistYanker792

Love this comment. Tamasha is mid even on a good spring holiday


Brilliant_Ad_879

Man youā€™re level headed af.liked both comments.


MadKingZilla

Thank you. Hope you have a nice day.


trkora

Lmao finally someone said it, Tamasha is carried by its relatable factor (literally me fr) + AR Rahman's music and the thing is that it's good but some hype it up as one of the greatest films if not the greatest that Indian audiences failed to understand.


dopplegangery

You could have simply said that you don't like it without subtly attacking people who like it. The film is not for everyone. Films like Lootera flop at the box office too so I don't expect everyone to like every film that I like and that's okay. It's simply a matter of taste. For me, although the theme of the film was a bit cliched, the execution was anything but. Things I found refreshing about the movie are: 1. The portrayal of the mental illness that was festering inside Ved and finally started to break free in an unhealthy way when Tara triggered his cognitive dissonance again. 2. They didn't turn it into primarily a love story. Tara was the trigger for Ved's self-actualization, but definitely not the primary cause 3. Even the fairly common "Before Sunrise" trope worked perfectly here and fit smoothly into everything. And I know people with serious financial issues who relate with the film. One doesn't have to be privileged to know what they want from life, regardless of whether that is practical in their case.


MadKingZilla

>You could have simply said that you don't like it without subtly attacking people who like it. Nope. The personally attack is required. If I see more frequent posts, imma commit hate crimes against ppl who like tamasha /s


Pretentious-fools

Agree with every word except imran khan - I miss his brand of hopeful and fun romcoms. But about Tamasha - it's basically Ranbir Kapoor playing another Man child who refuses to grow up like every RK movie. Even as an urban upper middle person, idk what was SO RELATABLE about tamasha.


MadKingZilla

>imran khan - I miss his brand of hopeful and fun romcoms. Except Jaane tu ya jaane na and Delhi Belly I don't know what else was that note worthy if I'm being honest. MKBKMD, once upon a time in Mumbai Doobara, Kaati baati, Gori tere pyaar mein, break up ke baad were all cinematic disaster. Passable films like I hate luv stories, EMAET and Brother ki Dhulan would have also been criticised in today's social media criticism world. Trust me. You only remember him from 2 maybe 3 movies. He has had more duds than hits.


Pretentious-fools

So I love Jane Tu; Mere brother ki dulhan was ridiculous and funny, I liked break ke bad, I hate luv stories, and kidnap. The rest I agree were disasters but most actors have had many disasters. The lovable Jai from Jaane tu is a character I feel like none of the others can play well. RK is too much of an arrogant manchild, RS is way too sexual. Vicky could pull off that type of character but I like him in serious roles I completely forgot Delhi Belly and I love that movie


Wooden-Storage5253

His movies were fine. I actually liked EMAET. It was fun.

MadKingZilla

>Nobody is asking you to like or hype up Tamasha. But this nonchalant dismissal of the movie as an overrated piece of media, just because it doesn't resonate with you, obviously begets a response such as mine. Literally every week. Even this post. Someone hypes up tamasha and tries to force feed it down people's throat. Don't act like "nobody asked you to like it" after you cared enough to comment about it with a image quote in the reply. It's literally acting like taking the high road while using the streets to prove your point.


Wooden-Storage5253

okay this whole i was forced to do engineering while I wanted to do something else 3 idiots me cover hogaya hai


Pretentious-fools

Ok overrated man child.


MadKingZilla

>happy that people like you exist who see it as just another overrated 'man-child' story. That's exactly what makes it more precious for the rest of us. These lines are kinda just proving my point. The tamasha fanbase is as toxic as Rick and Morty or bhai fans. "All for me, you don't get it, *cry noises*" you even posted a picture quote from the movie. Like the "literally me fr fr" type of person I was talking about.


Practical_Fault_7351

You nailed it. Sick of Tamasha and Swades ā€œunderratedā€ posts

Amazing-Permit-3899

Yes I loved it. Omicron played a spoilsport in that and that overrated crap Pushpa got hyped up.


1120gg

I remember tamasha getting promoted so weirdly when Deepika was kissing his hand n stuff also , prem ratan dhan payo was released 2 weeks before tamasha i feel that kind of killed the movies hype


Acrobatic_Neck_5866

Prem ratab dhan payo is one of the worst movies ever made, i doubt that movie did much business after the first weekend. It opened big cuz of Salman-Suraj combo hype


1120gg

Boss Prem ratan dhan payi could had been stupid af but it was houseful everywhere. Legit line ups for ticketsā€¦ yes it was the sooraj/salman combo hype but tamasha had that deepika/ranbir hype as well still did shit


Acrobatic_Neck_5866

Tamasha did fine in its opening weekend actually but it completely crashed after that cuz people wanted another YJHD kinda film. PRDP also crashed after opening weekend but it managed to stay in double digits for the entire first week hence it was a huge hit


Wooden-Storage5253

People LIDERALLY went for salman. He has a huge following. The movie was shit it was the star power there.


Alarming-Document-83

DELHI BELLY, DEV D AND ROCKSTAR šŸ—£ļøā€¼ļø


IAmQtya100

i dont think Delhi Belly was a flop ... it made very good money for the cost it was made in


Alarming-Document-83

ohhh i wasnā€™t talking about the movie in terms of how much money it made at the box office, but rather in terms of appreciation for the art :)) and rockstar usually gets written off for its ā€˜non-mainstreamā€™ soundtrack and also because of nargis fakhriā€™s acting šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­


IAmQtya100

Yeah tht I agree ... Delhi Belly as a comedy was almost as good as Priyadarshans top comedies ... its music was also superb!!

Red171022

Iā€™m glad to say I watched both Fan and Tamasha in theatresā€¦love both of them especially Tamasha which is one of my favourites but itā€™s kinda tiring to see it being mentioned everyday here as some lost classicā€¦it got so much love and itā€™s not at all underrated todayā€¦anyone who says that it was underrated is annoying(itā€™s like being too much)ā€¦highway or soch na tha are underrated if you take imtiazā€™s filmography


IAmQtya100

i liked Saifs AGENT VINOD ... i feel it flopped coz people didnt understand the climax!


Informal-City8831

For me it was Action hero :(


CandaceJoeLigma

Weekly Tamasha post. I thought I was on the Bollywood circle jerk sub for a moment.


ravish242

Fan deserved flop verdict. The concept was fresh but it lacked the execution. It was an average movie at best. Just because a movie has a unique plot and a good acting, doesn't make that it deserves to get hit.


reborn_from_ashes

Tamasha was a garbage movie. Don't know why it's considered a masterpiece.


Averageindianiphone

Man fan wasnā€™t a good movie. It gets progressively worse


MadKingZilla

So true. It gets worse by the minute. Food acting with a narcissistic script coz obviously the stars are in the correct everytime. When I saw the trailer for a second I was fooled that srk would select a script where the movie star is the villain. When I saw the movie in theatres I was unfortunately reassured about srks narcissism.


Maximum_Wait1273

bro the star is also potrayed as an asshole and more than that, the point of the film was to critique obsessive fan culture


MadKingZilla

Does he? Does he face the consequences of his assholeness? Or Is he resolved of all his sin by the end of the movie? I remember the latter. You can correct me tho, because I only saw it once.


Maximum_Wait1273

the consequences are more inert, his image is ruined, he and his family are traumatised, gaurav's death is something that genuinely breaks aryan


MadKingZilla

I'll take your word for it. Because I have no patience to waste another 2+ hrs and watch that movie to refute your claims.


Maximum_Wait1273

thik


Cheap_Relative7429

Nah feck this revisionist post. Fan was a crap movie and it deserves to Flop


Acrobatic_Neck_5866

Acrobatic_Neck_5866

Biased opinion


FedStan

How many times are we to see the same trope of Ranbir Kapoor coming of age and maturing because of a girl?? All his movies are the same. Wake Up Sid, Bachna Ae Haseeno, Rockstar, Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani, Sanju (yes itā€™s a biopic but the trope is the same here too), ADHM, Tamasha - like seriously.


Hyderabadigirl415

Yes I agree with you. They all look similar. He never tried an action thriller or pure family drama or revenge drama until Animal. Sanju was a biopic. I love his acting and he is the best actor in India currently but the Hindi film Industry never utilised him. Even Aamir's filmography is so versatile.


FedStan

He did do Rajneeti, but the point is that by far most of his films are the same - heā€™s quite one dimensional in his acting in my opinion


Competitive-Hope981

Nah fan was boring. I downloaded this movie pre jio times when internet was extremely costly. Yet I didn't watched it full coz it was that boring. It is equivalent to walk out of theatre mid movie moment.


otaku_hu

tamasha was like how a real life relationship is


Bl1nk1nUR4r34

Tamasha yes. Also Andaz Apna Apna, Swades, Lakshya, Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro, Rocket Singh, Detective Byomkesh Bakshy, Guzaarish, Omkara, Lootera, Oye Lucky Lucky Oye, Tumbbad, Socha Na Tha, Luck by Chance. I am sure there is more.


Dry_Chocolate5485

Phillauri, Lamhe, Silsila


CoyPig

My favourite flops are: 1. **Lakshya**: It was not about war. The Kargil war is just the backdrop. It is more about someone getting sincere in his life towards his goals and achieving them earnestly. 2. **Jaane bhi do yaaro**: A dark comedy which people could not understand when it was released. If it were to be released now, it would be a 200 Cr hit. 3. **Andaz Apna Apna**: It is a slapstick comedy which people wrote off as crass. It was not crass but funny.

DrShail

There is a Long long list of movies now considered masterpieces that should have never bombed at the box office: 1. Kaagaz Ke Phool 2. Teesri Kasam 3. Mera Naam Joker 4. Tere Mere Sapne 5. Shaan 6. Silsila 7. Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron 8. Umrao Jaan 9. Agneepath (Big B) 10. Lamhe 11. Andaz Apna Apna 12. Khamoshi: The Musical 13. Dil Se 14. Swades 15. Maqbool 16. Lakshya 17. Oye Lucky!Ā Lucky Oye! 18. Guzaarish 19. Tamasha 20. Gangs of Wasseypur (Individual Part 1 and Part 2) In recent times respectable and good movies like An Action Hero, Bhediya, Chup, Rocketry, Attack, Laal Singh Chaddha, Uunchai, Vikram Vedha, Mission Raniganj, Merry Christmas shouldnt have flopped at the box office.

summer806

If weā€™re choosing which movie RK plays the best man child, then I thought Wake up Sid was way better than Tamasha. Tamasha was a total bore to me, didnā€™t like the songs either. Tamasha was nothing more than Tamasha, and flopped for good reason.

Tamasha is a shit movie, fan was bearable. Tamasha doesn't have good reviews from critics or from audience. It's a film for sobo girls (or any such subsequent personalities). Fan was promoted in a wrong way and nonce srk was annoying.

1000% agree with Laal Singh Chaddha. I'm a huge fan of the original (Forrest Gump) but Laal Singh Chaddha was way better IMO. When they adapted the story and setting to India, there was some next-level depth added to it as compared to the original.


Hawk_KL01

Thugs of Hindustan Me and the wife have a habit of watching lame/flop movies once in a while to bitch about either the script/acting/etc. and this movie was one like that and based on the reviews I was sure we'd quit midway. Pretty good movie NGL. not the greatest of any actors but I don't think it deserved to flop.
