@pradishnair7@CineAlpha1 Right. There’s a reason they shifted to box office numbers(which are highly inflated) rather than footfalls. The best PR creates the perception of star whereas in reality the so called stardom is highly dependent on content and even directors brand value.
@jammypants4 It was actually a very high profile clash and probably the last genuinely hyped clash where everyone from industry to ground level were making jokes about being a Raees or Kaabil.
If AI companies were Bollywood stars:
Gemini = Aamir Khan
Takes forever. Obsesses over getting everything right. By the time it arrives, everyone else has released 3 things. But when it works, it is usually polished. Much like Aamir Khan, who can disappear for years trying to perfect one film while everyone else keeps releasing, but when he gets it right, the result usually feels thought-through.
GPT/OpenAI = Akshay Kumar
Ships EVERYTHING. Browser? Sure. Images? Sure. Agents? Sure. Some releases flop, some become massive hits. The sheer speed of iteration keeps OpenAI in the conversation. Much like Akshay Kumar at his peak, who would do 4-5 films a year. Not everything worked, but there were enough hits in between that he was always relevant.
Claude = SRK
Elite at what it chooses to do. Writing, presentations, Excel, coding workflows: often category-leading. But the range is narrower. No image generation, fewer random experiments. Knows its genre and dominates it. Much like Shah Rukh Khan, who perfected romance for decades and has lately moved into action, but has historically played within a relatively narrower set of genres compared with some of his peers.
Microsoft Copilot = Salman Khan
Extremely powerful inside its own ecosystem and has a loyal audience. If you live inside PowerPoint, Excel, Teams and Outlook, you get the appeal. Outside that universe, a lot of people simply don’t care. Much like Salman Khan, who has an insanely loyal fan base and is huge within his own ecosystem, but if you are not part of that audience, the appeal may completely pass you by.
Aamir perfects.
Akshay ships.
SRK specialises.
Salman owns his ecosystem.
This might be the most Bollywood way to understand the AI race.
@Rajiv1841 It’s mostly the lack of star players not just in Indian Team but every other team. A lot of chatter used to be about x batsmen vs y bowler. Also, complete domination of batsmen because of flat pitches and smaller boundaries are also key reasons.

@Apna_Bollywood@akshaykumar plz put an extra care to this project and make sure the final product looks like something that’s worth watching on big screen.
@amitkilhor You’re talking about movies? How many Indian authors write sci fi novels especially Indian language authors? I guess there’s something cultural about it like it’s mostly atheist countries who have mastered this genre. It’s their version of fantasy and magic.
@TheBluePen25 Whose honour are we talking about ? Her own honour which you didn’t mention. Also hundreds of women would have escaped khilji? What utopia are you living in? Or you are saying she should have run leaving others to die or enslaved till they die? Think before typing.
@RedDevilHarsh28 In case you didn’t paid attention the gdp share of UP is 2nd to Maharashtra despite being landlocked and higher than the rest of top 5 that’s the point. It’s the high population that’s bringing the overall result down.
@NishitShawHere Let alone 1000 cr. even 600-700 cr WW is not something any star can claim to be the result of his stardom. Stardom is only for opening weekend even that many times has a lot to do with genre and interesting subject along with director’s reputation.
@GabbbarSingh True the movie was really fighting between the epic and fantasy nature of its story vs director’s forced realism. The climax fight sequence was almost embarrassing.
@STUPIDREACTIONS Nobody is questioning his talent he himself paints a target on his back for trolls when he keeps badmouthing other actors just because they got the recognition he was craving for.
