This is interesting

 

Why Modi continues to get lots of support and why congress seems lost.

 

Modi uses references to Ramayan for Lockdown while Congress quotes Shakespeare.

Yeh Jawaani hai deewani is the most rewatchable movie made this decade. 

 

Everything is good to great about this movie. Need more blockbuster movies like this and less like War.

The Jungle Book made to Top 10 for 52 days, but was one downed by Sultan & by the end of 2016 by Dangal.

Avengers: Infinity War also made to Top 10 for 50 days, was one downed by Sanju & then 2.0 by the end of 2018.

Only these 6 Holly films have made to Indian Top 10 Grossers.

I don't think any hollywood movie is making into TOP 10 until Avatar 2 or maybe till Avengers 5.

Definitely. Avengers 5 or unless any original works really well. The Jungle Book 2 may be if it is still being made.

[charlie Jatinder]

I won't read much into it. 

 

 

I guess Scarlett Johansson & Gal Gadot may be the biggest. Angelina Jolie is because basically Bollywood is feeding us that name. Same goes for Tom Cruise, as media is saying him biggest star since early 2010s. I would guess RDJ at top followed by Leo and Rock.

Actually the male star list is correct. Tom cruise will tie with RDJ in popularity. 

 

Female star list is absolutely wrong. 

 

Gal Gadot is very less popular in India. She just has Wonder Woman that's it. 

 

Scarlett Johansson, Emma Watson and Jennifer Lawrence will be Top 3 in India.

Raj Kumar Hirani??

Yup, his next is with Hirani. They were supposed to shoot in April but lockdown affected everything. 

 

There is also one project with Alia Bhatt  an action movie directed by Sidharth Anand.

@charlie Jatinder fangirling on twitter. 😅

 

Hirani can easily give a flop with SRK. It's high time SRK start doing supporting roles like Amitabh Bachchan. That's the best way to protect his legacy.

I am not on twitter. I was searching Himesh (a journalist) and he liked your tweet about box office. That's how I got to see your profile.

SRK as a father to a junior actor  who is the main hero would be one hell of a thing to see. 

 

 

However you are right Amitabh did some epic iconic supporting roles in the 2000s that cemented his legacy for all time.

He should do movies like Pink, Badla and many others that Amitabh is doing. 

Not only will that protect his legacy but will make him a giving actor. 

 

His next project after Hirani is with Sidharth Anand ( The director of WAR) alongside Alia Bhatt. 

 

@charlie Jatinder Do you like Dear Zindagi? I think that was very good performance from SRK. He should do more movies like this.
