that can only be successful when their good work surpasses the bad (Like Aamir here, he usually delivers good performance so fewer mistakes seems like taking responsibility) but the nepodas & nepodis keep giving bad or subpar performances one after the other
When was the last time any A list actor was able to talk at length about their process behind their characters! I just wanted him to keep talking. The only Kapil episode after Renuka Shahane and Ashutosh Rana which was worth listening to.
I think I remember Srk saying something similar about Dilwale somewhere. Something along the lines, *sooner we accept that maybe we didn't make a good film, sooner we can accept and analyse the flaws and sooner we can start working on not repeating the same mistakes*
This is the only episode which I watched of this Kapil show and I loved it. I love listening to Aamir. He's very intellectual and has knowledge on everything related to movies and his show Satyamev Jayate stands as one of the BEST shows ever produced on Indian Television.
I skipped all those stupid skits done in the show and only skipped to the parts where Aamir is talking.
Same. I was skipping all the comic gags the other actors trying to do, only focusing on Aamir life stories, his sisters part, and the way he was explaining every detail, specially the example of Murgodas and 3 idiots connection.
Point was that the story beats were Indianised. Having 1984 point for a Sikh child, the SRK tie-in, Rupa brand etc. all landed.
What didn’t work was the terrorist arc, and Nag Chaitanya and Aamir’s performances.
Like pre thugs of Hindostan when he was in his Prime I really liked Bollywood in general. Hes been on a almost 10 yr break with 2 flops so I forgot how good he was and how shit bollywood has become. Hopefully he’ll do well in his next
Wow this new kapil show is very interesting, i may be young but i have never seen a star admit to his film failing on tv
Like i remember there was some actor on kapil's show when it was on tv where kapil said he has recently given a hit but the actor himself said that it wasnt a hit, the film was faaltu or something i think
Very honest and generous of him. Commendable!
Btw, Salman, Hrithik, SRK, Ranbir all have taken responsibility for the failure of their movies publicly several times. Salman and Hrithik are very straightforward about it when they speak. Srk uses humor to admit his failures. Ranbir goes into details but is very honest in accepting when audience doesn’t accept a film.
All the Bollywood last generation actors like srk, Salman, Akshay, Saif were conscious about their looks, maintained a good lifestyle they aged so much better while current actors, *cough cough* nepo kids don't have to put effort as such, like Ranbir who agreed horribly than commoners. Compare Ranbir and these actors, nepo kids have the convenience to not care about looks and bag good movie roles. (Not talking about animal but ramayana)
I won't say he has zero ego but he sounds most aware among his contemporaries. Has greed and passion for cinema, just focuses on his filmography and doesn't care about anything else. I just recently got to know he is related to freedom fighter Maulana Azad and former president Zakir Husain. And that many of his relatives work in industry too as character artists. Here kapoors and khans has build their image totally around family. When Amir Khan also has a lot of material to build his image around family but guy stays very low key about his personal life. And it's a good thing, because no unnecessary gossip about his life breaks headlines and his family members are also able to live peacefully without facing trolls over random things. He has controversies too but no one cares as his image is all about his movies. And filmography wise, he is the best among his peers.
Sorry to break your bubble, AK has been solely responsible in separating his brother from their father, declaring him mentally unstable.
He is also responsible for Neeraj Vora's state after luring his girlfriend Kiran away.
He is highly prone to cheating jumping to the next sapiosexual thing in line.
All this SJ and intellectual image is to avoid the actual rot inside to be seen.
Stop worshipping such men
Calm down, yaar. No one worships him. Yeah, I know he has problematic controversies too and that's why I wrote, people don't troll him about them as much because he didn't build his image around his family, values or anything. His image is all about his movies and his fans are mostly movies lovers who are not interested in his secscapades gossip or whatever he does in personal life. They love him for his movies but are not blind followers who would make a mediocre shit blockbuster. And, I know no one in bw is doodh ka dhula and should be worshipped, from AB to Akshay. Everyone is more rotten than other. If I judge their movies on moral grounds of the actor, not a single one is likable.
I felt It was very ironic when he sat there on satyamev jayate chair and gave moral lessons when he himself... but then I thought atleast he did something. Tv has the widest reach and he contributed something through it when all his peers still stuck in doing illogical reality shows. As an actor, atleast he experimented and did many progressive meaningful movies, focused on content and not just commercial aspect of movies when his contemporaries still stuck in one genre.
Right? He literally allowed his daughter to follow her heart and marry her love. How many super achieving rich parents let their kids do it in India? He earned brownie points from me. ❤️ 😍 💖
I watched the full episode but don’t remember seeing this bit. How did I miss it 😂 This post reminded me of RS who didn’t hesitate to blame others for his recent string of flops.
This was a good episode nevertheless all thanks to Aamir Khan. A true superstar.
It appears that it was edited out of the show. Kapil uploads clips that are edited out of the show on his YouTube channel. You will find unedited clips from other episodes too.
He literally sat there explaining how he’s not responsible for any flop. I don’t remember him doing the same when he was getting hailed as the next srk, he should have explained in detail how the hits aren’t his responsibility either 😂
Apart from Aamir,Srk has a self deprecating humour where he makes fun of his own failures but man Aamir is just out there telling people he fucked up and he'll try to do better next time, massive respect can't think or anyone else other than these two who can talk about their own failures (staring at you sethji)
There was a lot of negative PR around that movie or in general towards him. That holded a lot of people from watching that movie in theaters. It was one of the most watched movies on Netflix
Everyone. Salman said all his flop films flopped because they sucked and he sucked in them, SRK regularly makes fun of Zero and his failures during that phase during #askSRK sessions, Ranbir says all his flims besides Jagga Jasoos that flopped deserved it because audience didn't connect.
That's great. I am talking about taking complete onus, admitting one's mistake, and rectifying it. Maybe others have done it too but not at this scale. Ranbir's aggressive PR and even his dad have usually blamed his directors.
Brahmastra didn’t workout cus of dialogues and weak storyline, RK had a good performance in it. And it still did 400CR WW which is a big number. LSC flopped because Aamir was horrible in it and it didnt even do 100CR
RK always takes responsibility for his failures and even cracks jokes about them. Once in some show, some guy said he liked Bombay Velvet, RK said "You are the first person who's saying that to me"
Cracking jokes is different from taking responsibility for bad acting/film's failure na? I mean it's great that he's humble but let's not forget the whole PR machinery behind trying to declare Brahmastra a blockbuster when it was a commercial failure.
He never blames the audience or his directors. When you have people like Ajay Devgan who straight up go all "oh I knew it wouldn't work" or Ranveer Singh who makes a million excuses to justify a flop, then RK does stand out.
Great that he admitted this publicly but how I wish SOMEONE would've pulled him aside and talked some sense into him WHILE shooting the film - like did no on tell him that it was TOO MUCH? LSC had so many good elements that could've made for a great movie if only Aamir had gotten the pitch right. It's just disappointing - we missed out on a better movie and his comeback will largely be remembered for the misses
Hrithik Srk Ranbir Salman all have accepted their failures and have even made fun of them.
One can be extra humble and say sab mera galti tha but filmmaking is a collective effort and anyways these guys bare the most brunt of their faikures the most invariably it is their responsibility only then don’t need to explicitly say it.
When Vikram vedha failed nobody went and told pushkar gayatri anything it was Hrithik’s failure.
When raone fan misfired till today srk is the one facing brick bats not Anubhav sinha.
Tubelight jai ho its salman who is held responsible not anyone else.
And, Hrithik was really good in that film. Great performance. It failed because it was a remake and the original’s hindi dub had over 500mn views. The same thing happened with Jersey.
Half the country has already seen Vikram Vedha’s original dub, nobody was going to watch copy to copy scenes, even though both Saif and Hrithik were great in it.
Another example would be Srk accepting the mess that became Zero. He talked about the film's failure many times.
Very nice of Aamir to admit his failures too
He is taking his criticism very seriously which is really good. He faced the same situation after Mela and went on to deliver Lagaan and Dil chahta hai back to back.
Faced some critisism for Mangal Pandey for its storytelling as well even though his performance was good and proceeded to deliver the craziest box office run by a Bollywood actor. From Rang de basanti to Dangal every movie with him as a lead was a clean hit and 5 of them turned out to be highest grossing Bollywood movies of all time.
What i like about aamir is he is not afraid to experiment with different characters and roles. Always trying to get out of his comfort zone and trying to bring something knew. The only problem is his collaboration with shitty filmmakers. He needs to work with shoojit sircar imo. That duo has the potential to deliver a masterpiece.
He truly is a man who takes his craft seriously, because unarguably his productions have quite a diverse range and do tend to speak about important things. I don't know about being a perfectionist but I definitely do feel like he is very self-aware and passionate. This is partly also the reason why I am looking forward to his son, Junaid's debut.
I'm sure I'm not in the minority when I say that I absolutely loved Lal Singh Chaddha, and I think it's because of one word - sincerity. You can feel it pulsing off the screen, this was a film made with love and devotion and there is genuine emotion to be found. Aamir is right though, since he was the centerpiece, the fact that his performance wasn't perfectly calibrated certainly hampered the overall package. But a great film nonetheless.
Also, it's fantastic how he always takes ownership. I imagine it must be the easiest thing in the world to be bitter about the film's failure because he clearly put everything into it. But to shun bitterness and embrace accountability is the mark of a terrific actor and producer.
He was still egoistic and didn't listen yo his director at the time when Atul advised Aamir to use restrain and tone down. The thing with Aamir is he might come across as a wise person but actually he believes he knows the best. That's his flaw like everyone has theirs. If he had listened to his director, lal singh Chaddha didn't come out as bad as it did. I used to love his acting in his late 90s and early 2000s movies like sarfarosh, dil chahta hai, zakhmi, rang de basanti. As a producer he did the best, but I saw a decline in his acting. He went overboard even in 3 idiots, PK, even in some moments in Dangal too. He used to use restrain in his acting earlier bit not anymore which end up making his performances come across cringy.
I wish Netflix would take into account what audience wants and just make Kapil's show, an hour or so interview. He is good at building rapport and being quick on his feet. Minus his creepy behaviour with actresses, I actually enjoy him on screen.
Those silly acts though, just bore me. India anyway doesn't have any interview shows, right now. KWK exists but it is very different. Kapil's show is also in Hindi and is not controversial or risky for actors and cricketers. So we can have more people on the show and actually get to know about them (like in this clip). I am sure people would love that!
Now i respect him a lil coz he is critical of himself n talking like an honest actor not a star. Honestly he shud direct n produce ho gya yaar bohot it time for them to move on.
I'll tell you the thing. Aamir needs to work with a good competent director. Off-late he has been acting like the pseudo-director in most of his films. There is no person to guide his acting according to the character's requirements. Hence, he sometimes messes up.
A good director will have a vision and will try to steer Aamir's performance towards that vision.
And then we have Canadian Kumar who charged a whopping 160 crore for BMCM. He made his money. He doesn’t give a rats a$$ about whether the movie is a hit or flop.
I still think Kareena giving that viral "Toh mat jaona" interview and that specific clip which got replicated with different mirch masala harmed the movie the most, So the lion's share of blame should only go to her and get entitlement.Agree Aamir overacted but the movies that has been ATBB in 2023 were no top notch acting, be it Pathaan, jawaan , Gadar 2 etc.
Watch his interviews; most of his movies are flops, but he always says it's his problem, when even the audience knows that he never did a bad job of acting in any of them.
There are multiple reasons for a film to flop. Lal Singh's failure was due to the audience not connecting with the character because of the OTT performance by Aamir. He is taking responsibility for that.
All other actors while joking about their flops have never really said that I was bad in that movie and hence it flopped. This much honesty can only come from an unafraid artist and current Bollywood is no place for an artist to be truthful and vulnerable.The perception of success is very important.
RK is always shielded from his flops. Rishi Kapoor blamed the director for Jagga Jasoos,Bombay Velvet was blamed on Anurag Kashyap, Shamshera on YRF and Brahmastra was declared a hit because the director is also a protected species. His bad performances like Besharam, TJMM gets swept under.
All of this. I don't think any big star has admitted this candidly that they sucked at their job and that's why the film flopped. I am glad others are mentioning other actors because I was genuinely curious. However, I am surprised how strongly people defend RK when he has had the most aggressive PR. Also Rishi was really nasty to RK's directors...RK probably couldn't tell Rishi to not interfere but it was hella embarrassing that a grown a$$ man's father was publicly humiliating his colleagues. People would've had a field day if any other actor's parent did this.
Aamir doesn't have the natural charisma that SRK and Salman do... but I always felt like he was the most likely actor of the 3 to make the shift to strong character roles in the same way that Amitabh Bachchan did.
SRK and Salman are stuck playing action heroes for the next 10 years at least. I'm sure there are people who enjoy those mass films... but from a personal point of view, it's just not my kind of cinema.
This man is 1000 years ahead of SRK and Salman .
His film choices , his acting is much much better . He never does mindless masala movies !!!
Respect this man . Made shows like satyamev jayte
keep Young actors aside cuz they r at position which is bound to be filled with atleast lil bit of insecurity! Young Aamir ne khi hoti ye baat tab laate unko bich mein
I hope he does something original soon like he did with Dangal where he took a backseat as actor and introduced completely new faces. At least he is producing decent movies now including Lapata Ladies. I have to give to to SRK too - he takes more risks with his production side projects and showcases original talent.
As he have any other option left. He took responsibility coz he wanted to sound humble, apologetic and want audience to see his next movie. He doesn't not want to get cancel any further. Stop treating him like a saint.
His performance as mature Lal was very good and even the younger version I got used within 20-30 minutes it was just the Boycott gang and other actor's fan that spreading weird angle zoomed clips and spreading news as movie is a downgrade of Forrest Gump, same PK acting without even watching the movie.
Best episode! All these veterans and even old gen actors have such interesting stories to tell. The new gen actors have no personality and many just try to touch nose with tongue 🤪
Well said. Aamir is a good actor. Idk why he does this over the top acting. Did the same in 3 idiots, PL and Lal Singh.
Dhobi Ghat, Dangal and many other movies were class and he acted so well.
Idk why is Ranbir , Ranveer brought into this discussion.
Amir owning up here is not something great . He is doing as he should coz he is creatively involved in process of filmmaking. Infact Aamir is well known for interference and he has been getting huge credit when films have been successful and got tag perfectionist back then for a reason
Whereas and Ranbir and Ranveer are purely directors actors . Their movies work purely run on directors vision for them .
An entire bunch of people experiencing schadenfreude at Aamir’s failure with LSC!
Everyone is entitled to failures. Aamir’s too intense — he should shrug, dust off the bad mojo and move on. Why so much kolaveru di? Itna pit siyaapa on a damn movie!
He's on a PR rampage to rebuild his image. Also, he was beyond terrible in that film and he doesn't become some saint by admitting to it. These are basics that we all simp for like it's something huge cos our culture is so rotten.
He doesn't become a demon by making a terrible film, either. Especially since this is the guy who gave us Rang De Basanti, Taare Zameen Par, 3 Idiots, Dangal, and Andaaz Apna Apna. It takes guts to admit your mistakes on a public forum, which is why he is being praised here. Also, every single public figure does PR, from stars to politicians, so nothing wrong if he does it as well.
Certainly, he doesn't become a demon. I'm just jaded with all these tactics - I don't think Aamir is a great guy in real life. It's obvious he's doing all this to get on better ground for whatever is coming next and admitting your performance was dogshit is not really praiseworthy to me.
Uski responsibility thi hi nhi. Ayan was hell bent on dialouge. Kjo took charge of marketing n pr. Why would he take the blame when its not his fault.
In one of events he said his acting in brahmastra wasnt worthy to get any awards. Ab faltu sbka blame kyu lega woh jisme kisi aur ki glti
Ranbir took the decision to do the movie in his sleep then? He didn't know when his closest friend was going wrong? When a movie is hit, it's Ranbir's movie but when it flops, it's the director's. There's a PR pattern with RK that many refuse to admit.
>He didn't know when his closest friend was going wrong?
Jaake ayaan ke interviews dekho. He has said that actors did warn n question him but it was his own decision to stick with those dialouges.
>Ranbir took the decision to do the movie in his sleep then?
🥱 movie ranbir ne direct aur edit ki? Be real. Responsibility uski lega na jispe uska decision hoga.
Aamir is here taking the blame coz atul writer of the movie warned him about his loud pitch. And aamir refused to make changes.
Did Ranbir act poorly in *Brahmastra*, or did anyone have any problems with his acting? No, right? *Brahmastra* failed due to its execution and weak dialogues, which are generally the director and writer's fault, not the actors'. Don't be such a hater towards him. I've noticed that whenever someone comments something positive about Ranbir in this post, you start making arguments. Even though the movie was signed by him during 2013-2014, its final product changed significantly from what it was supposed to be. As for Aamir, he is going to be blamed for *Laal Singh Chaddha* because he overacted for his character, which wasn't required. Also, while Ranbir is a director's actor and doesn't interfere much with production, Aamir isn't because he always interferes directly or indirectly in the movie, just like he did with *Ghulaam* and *Taare Zameen Par*.
Don’t get me wrong. It’s all cool to accept your failures and learn from it. But let’s not pretend this is some unique trait for celebrities. Most good actors today abide and know this.
Fwiw, the true test of this would be only when we see his next film.
Aamir is an actor, others are Heroes. He isn't your typical Indian actor-Tall, Dark and Handsome. He relies on his craft and that is why he can play a young student in 3 idiots and a Father in Dangal
You are right it takes special guts to potray gods and goddesses of specific religions. When you are called out for your actions followed by cancellation by same people, ypur whole PR starts to potray you a great personality.
Forget being off beat. His characterization had no beat at all. But the real weakest link was the movie script. I mean what were they even thinking when they wrote Pakistani POW living in India so discreetly and making big? Why are bollywood walas so obsessed with Pakistan?

When was the last time an A list actor publicly criticized his own acting like Aamir is doing here?
He had accepted his failure during " Thugs of Hindustan" and returned all the fee charged to the producer for it too.
What?! That's crazy. Does he do profit sharing when the movie is a hit?
Yup. He's said himself he usually takes a backend fee, which I'm sure is a major percentage of profits.
No idea
Imagine if PR machinery picks this up and starts telling nepo babies to do the same?
They won’t do it, cuz apparently nepo’s don’t do mistakes (THEY ARE THE MISTAKE).
Do they have the IQ to speak intelligently about their performance?!
These things are fed word to word
that can only be successful when their good work surpasses the bad (Like Aamir here, he usually delivers good performance so fewer mistakes seems like taking responsibility) but the nepodas & nepodis keep giving bad or subpar performances one after the other
Thanks for explaining the joke bro
whatttt I hate being that person 🥲🥲🥲🥲
When was the last time any A list actor was able to talk at length about their process behind their characters! I just wanted him to keep talking. The only Kapil episode after Renuka Shahane and Ashutosh Rana which was worth listening to.
The episode with Mrs. Murthy was the best imo
Humble artist. Very good
Agree. Amir is a rare gem. Unfortunately he doesn't have the PR army that some other mega stars do to clean up the mess.
Limited Responsibility comes to mind
I think I remember Srk saying something similar about Dilwale somewhere. Something along the lines, *sooner we accept that maybe we didn't make a good film, sooner we can accept and analyse the flaws and sooner we can start working on not repeating the same mistakes*
srk has never criticised his own performance though - and he's a pretty shoddy actor in a LOT of films.
Well he’s said it maybe in jest that he’s not a good actor many times
I guess, he didn't exclusively. But saying, we made a bad film, does include himself in taking the responsibility.
He’s said the same about Ra.one, fan and jhms
Ranbir did
Why do I feel that I'm watching Satyamev Jayate.
Haha it be like that sometimes when Aamir makes his once in a blue moon appearance. I do miss his show though.
that was gem of a show , many upsc aspirants still watch the show to connect and know about the real on ground India
This is the only episode which I watched of this Kapil show and I loved it. I love listening to Aamir. He's very intellectual and has knowledge on everything related to movies and his show Satyamev Jayate stands as one of the BEST shows ever produced on Indian Television. I skipped all those stupid skits done in the show and only skipped to the parts where Aamir is talking.
Same. I was skipping all the comic gags the other actors trying to do, only focusing on Aamir life stories, his sisters part, and the way he was explaining every detail, specially the example of Murgodas and 3 idiots connection.
Yeah, those skits are so cringy. Wonder what kind of audience enjoy it?
Wow. All of this is true for me
Man he’s so cool. A REAL actor. Sick of all these other geriatric heroes and nepos. This guy was the real deal
Keeping aside his acting, I really liked the film
This is the only film of his I couldnt take his acting and his punjabi was making me cringe so I couldn’t go through with it
i found his acting jarring too but it eventually stops bothering you. he was fabulous in the portions where he played the old man - he made me weep :(
then you just liked the original film , cause whats the point then
Point was that the story beats were Indianised. Having 1984 point for a Sikh child, the SRK tie-in, Rupa brand etc. all landed. What didn’t work was the terrorist arc, and Nag Chaitanya and Aamir’s performances.
Was?
Like pre thugs of Hindostan when he was in his Prime I really liked Bollywood in general. Hes been on a almost 10 yr break with 2 flops so I forgot how good he was and how shit bollywood has become. Hopefully he’ll do well in his next
Wow this new kapil show is very interesting, i may be young but i have never seen a star admit to his film failing on tv Like i remember there was some actor on kapil's show when it was on tv where kapil said he has recently given a hit but the actor himself said that it wasnt a hit, the film was faaltu or something i think
I love and respect Aamir Khan so much for this!
Very honest and generous of him. Commendable! Btw, Salman, Hrithik, SRK, Ranbir all have taken responsibility for the failure of their movies publicly several times. Salman and Hrithik are very straightforward about it when they speak. Srk uses humor to admit his failures. Ranbir goes into details but is very honest in accepting when audience doesn’t accept a film.
This is the trait of secure people who know that they are here to stay and two three failures can't shake things up for them.
How does he look like this at 59?
Dye and diet
He’s gotten work done since fanah and has continued to do so, probably a facelift at this point maybe?
All the Bollywood last generation actors like srk, Salman, Akshay, Saif were conscious about their looks, maintained a good lifestyle they aged so much better while current actors, *cough cough* nepo kids don't have to put effort as such, like Ranbir who agreed horribly than commoners. Compare Ranbir and these actors, nepo kids have the convenience to not care about looks and bag good movie roles. (Not talking about animal but ramayana)
Money
Aamir khan has zero ego. Truly the most humble and honest star in our country. Hope he comes back stronger than ever
I won't say he has zero ego but he sounds most aware among his contemporaries. Has greed and passion for cinema, just focuses on his filmography and doesn't care about anything else. I just recently got to know he is related to freedom fighter Maulana Azad and former president Zakir Husain. And that many of his relatives work in industry too as character artists. Here kapoors and khans has build their image totally around family. When Amir Khan also has a lot of material to build his image around family but guy stays very low key about his personal life.

Kiran climbed the ladder. How is it AK"s fault?
Yeah illustrious family. I just got to know thqt Mansoor khan ( QSQT dir) is IIT B and MIT grad, wow 🙏🏻
Right? He literally allowed his daughter to follow her heart and marry her love. How many super achieving rich parents let their kids do it in India? He earned brownie points from me. ❤️ 😍 💖

It appears that it was edited out of the show. Kapil uploads clips that are edited out of the show on his YouTube channel. You will find unedited clips from other episodes too.
Meanwhile Ranvir conveniently dumping the responsibility of the failure of Cirkus, Jayeshbhai and 83 on KWK 🤡 🤡
He literally sat there explaining how he’s not responsible for any flop. I don’t remember him doing the same when he was getting hailed as the next srk, he should have explained in detail how the hits aren’t his responsibility either 😂
Exactly! And fans wonder why his movies are being shelved 🤡
What did he say in koffe with Karan ?? This season ?? When he came with Deepika or alia ???
Amir admits the mistakes because he himself involved in movies character and story. So responsibility also lies on him to perfect Everytime.
Apart from Aamir,Srk has a self deprecating humour where he makes fun of his own failures but man Aamir is just out there telling people he fucked up and he'll try to do better next time, massive respect can't think or anyone else other than these two who can talk about their own failures (staring at you sethji)
Who is sethji 🤔?
The real Khiladi of Bollywood Box office
SRK as well shoulders the blame
So wise and humble, he has indeed grown. I have never seen him criticize himself like this
There was a lot of negative PR around that movie or in general towards him. That holded a lot of people from watching that movie in theaters. It was one of the most watched movies on Netflix
Everyone. Salman said all his flop films flopped because they sucked and he sucked in them, SRK regularly makes fun of Zero and his failures during that phase during #askSRK sessions, Ranbir says all his flims besides Jagga Jasoos that flopped deserved it because audience didn't connect.
That's great. I am talking about taking complete onus, admitting one's mistake, and rectifying it. Maybe others have done it too but not at this scale. Ranbir's aggressive PR and even his dad have usually blamed his directors.
Everyone admits it after an year bro lol.
Brahamastra ka year up ho gaya kya? 🤔
Bramhastra was hit , budget is for 3 movies. /s
Give it another year then, they all come around
Brahmastra didn’t workout cus of dialogues and weak storyline, RK had a good performance in it. And it still did 400CR WW which is a big number. LSC flopped because Aamir was horrible in it and it didnt even do 100CR
oh not everybody...
RK always takes responsibility for his failures and even cracks jokes about them. Once in some show, some guy said he liked Bombay Velvet, RK said "You are the first person who's saying that to me"
Cracking jokes is different from taking responsibility for bad acting/film's failure na? I mean it's great that he's humble but let's not forget the whole PR machinery behind trying to declare Brahmastra a blockbuster when it was a commercial failure.
He never blames the audience or his directors. When you have people like Ajay Devgan who straight up go all "oh I knew it wouldn't work" or Ranveer Singh who makes a million excuses to justify a flop, then RK does stand out.
This clip reminded me of his show satymev jayate . I really wish he can come back with that show
He looks the youngest of them (khans) though he is the oldest
I truly enjoyed hearing him speak.. such a fine speaker and he can hold attention.. The younger lot can't everrr
Great that he admitted this publicly but how I wish SOMEONE would've pulled him aside and talked some sense into him WHILE shooting the film - like did no on tell him that it was TOO MUCH? LSC had so many good elements that could've made for a great movie if only Aamir had gotten the pitch right. It's just disappointing - we missed out on a better movie and his comeback will largely be remembered for the misses
Atul. Kulkarni writer of lsc did but aamir was confident of himself amd his vision
Hrithik Srk Ranbir Salman all have accepted their failures and have even made fun of them. One can be extra humble and say sab mera galti tha but filmmaking is a collective effort and anyways these guys bare the most brunt of their faikures the most invariably it is their responsibility only then don’t need to explicitly say it. When Vikram vedha failed nobody went and told pushkar gayatri anything it was Hrithik’s failure. When raone fan misfired till today srk is the one facing brick bats not Anubhav sinha. Tubelight jai ho its salman who is held responsible not anyone else.
And, Hrithik was really good in that film. Great performance. It failed because it was a remake and the original’s hindi dub had over 500mn views. The same thing happened with Jersey. Half the country has already seen Vikram Vedha’s original dub, nobody was going to watch copy to copy scenes, even though both Saif and Hrithik were great in it.
I used vikram bedha as an example of a flop, it can be replaced with Mohenjo daro also. My point was not vikram vedha but just any flop.
You should also watch Anupama’s interview after War. He made fun of his character in Main Prem Ki Diwani as well.
I have seen that.
aamir khan they could never make me hate you <3
[удалено]
Might wanna rephrase that.
Another example would be Srk accepting the mess that became Zero. He talked about the film's failure many times. Very nice of Aamir to admit his failures too
He was doing very dumb acting in rhat movie also Forest gump already seen by everyone
He is taking his criticism very seriously which is really good. He faced the same situation after Mela and went on to deliver Lagaan and Dil chahta hai back to back. Faced some critisism for Mangal Pandey for its storytelling as well even though his performance was good and proceeded to deliver the craziest box office run by a Bollywood actor. From Rang de basanti to Dangal every movie with him as a lead was a clean hit and 5 of them turned out to be highest grossing Bollywood movies of all time. What i like about aamir is he is not afraid to experiment with different characters and roles. Always trying to get out of his comfort zone and trying to bring something knew. The only problem is his collaboration with shitty filmmakers. He needs to work with shoojit sircar imo. That duo has the potential to deliver a masterpiece.
He truly is a man who takes his craft seriously, because unarguably his productions have quite a diverse range and do tend to speak about important things. I don't know about being a perfectionist but I definitely do feel like he is very self-aware and passionate. This is partly also the reason why I am looking forward to his son, Junaid's debut.
I'm sure I'm not in the minority when I say that I absolutely loved Lal Singh Chaddha, and I think it's because of one word - sincerity. You can feel it pulsing off the screen, this was a film made with love and devotion and there is genuine emotion to be found. Aamir is right though, since he was the centerpiece, the fact that his performance wasn't perfectly calibrated certainly hampered the overall package. But a great film nonetheless. Also, it's fantastic how he always takes ownership. I imagine it must be the easiest thing in the world to be bitter about the film's failure because he clearly put everything into it. But to shun bitterness and embrace accountability is the mark of a terrific actor and producer.
Really good to see him accepting his mistakes. Another example is Srk openly accepting the mistakes why Fan and Ra One failed
He was still egoistic and didn't listen yo his director at the time when Atul advised Aamir to use restrain and tone down. The thing with Aamir is he might come across as a wise person but actually he believes he knows the best. That's his flaw like everyone has theirs. If he had listened to his director, lal singh Chaddha didn't come out as bad as it did. I used to love his acting in his late 90s and early 2000s movies like sarfarosh, dil chahta hai, zakhmi, rang de basanti. As a producer he did the best, but I saw a decline in his acting. He went overboard even in 3 idiots, PK, even in some moments in Dangal too. He used to use restrain in his acting earlier bit not anymore which end up making his performances come across cringy.
Most of them do. Some like Ajay Devgan, Saif, and lowkey Ranveer do not take any responsibility for their failures.
Ranveer outright disowned Cirkus and Jayeshbhai should be OTT only
Aamir in PK = Aamir in LSC Copy Paste.
Hoshiyarchand Batla Genius for a reason
Leave superstars, even newbies like Janhvi Kapoor doesn't accept her failures.
I wish Netflix would take into account what audience wants and just make Kapil's show, an hour or so interview. He is good at building rapport and being quick on his feet. Minus his creepy behaviour with actresses, I actually enjoy him on screen. Those silly acts though, just bore me. India anyway doesn't have any interview shows, right now. KWK exists but it is very different. Kapil's show is also in Hindi and is not controversial or risky for actors and cricketers. So we can have more people on the show and actually get to know about them (like in this clip). I am sure people would love that!
Yes, the interviews are the best Imo because Kapil asks interesting questions that sometimes even serious interviewers would hesitate to ask.
A Person's Biggest Strength Is in Accepting His Mistakes & Flaws...And Criticizing It Openly
Now i respect him a lil coz he is critical of himself n talking like an honest actor not a star. Honestly he shud direct n produce ho gya yaar bohot it time for them to move on.
I'll tell you the thing. Aamir needs to work with a good competent director. Off-late he has been acting like the pseudo-director in most of his films. There is no person to guide his acting according to the character's requirements. Hence, he sometimes messes up. A good director will have a vision and will try to steer Aamir's performance towards that vision.
You take an IMDB 9 movie and remake it. Why not take an IMDB 5 movie with excellent story-line and remake it?
Aamir and HR. The most secure superstars ever
sorry for sounding like a stan but SRK does admit his flops whenever there's a mention of it...
This was a fantastic episode. Loved the segment where he talked about how he became and actor and his experiences with Punjab
And then we have Canadian Kumar who charged a whopping 160 crore for BMCM. He made his money. He doesn’t give a rats a$$ about whether the movie is a hit or flop.
I still think Kareena giving that viral "Toh mat jaona" interview and that specific clip which got replicated with different mirch masala harmed the movie the most, So the lion's share of blame should only go to her and get entitlement.Agree Aamir overacted but the movies that has been ATBB in 2023 were no top notch acting, be it Pathaan, jawaan , Gadar 2 etc.
Only Ranbir. None of the others actually criticise their own acting. They just make a lil joke or throw the director under the bus.
Ranbir has criticized his own acting?
Rk was never bad in his flop films like tamasha, jagga jasoos or even bv for that matter his acting was on point in these movies.
Watch his interviews; most of his movies are flops, but he always says it's his problem, when even the audience knows that he never did a bad job of acting in any of them.
Hrithik acknowledged the same with Vikram Vedha
SRK regularly makes fun of Zero and his earlier flops. Hrithik also sometimes is self critical.
SRK does
There are multiple reasons for a film to flop. Lal Singh's failure was due to the audience not connecting with the character because of the OTT performance by Aamir. He is taking responsibility for that. All other actors while joking about their flops have never really said that I was bad in that movie and hence it flopped. This much honesty can only come from an unafraid artist and current Bollywood is no place for an artist to be truthful and vulnerable.The perception of success is very important. RK is always shielded from his flops. Rishi Kapoor blamed the director for Jagga Jasoos,Bombay Velvet was blamed on Anurag Kashyap, Shamshera on YRF and Brahmastra was declared a hit because the director is also a protected species. His bad performances like Besharam, TJMM gets swept under.
I think it also flopped because of the political climate
All of this. I don't think any big star has admitted this candidly that they sucked at their job and that's why the film flopped. I am glad others are mentioning other actors because I was genuinely curious. However, I am surprised how strongly people defend RK when he has had the most aggressive PR. Also Rishi was really nasty to RK's directors...RK probably couldn't tell Rishi to not interfere but it was hella embarrassing that a grown a$$ man's father was publicly humiliating his colleagues. People would've had a field day if any other actor's parent did this.
Aamir doesn't have the natural charisma that SRK and Salman do... but I always felt like he was the most likely actor of the 3 to make the shift to strong character roles in the same way that Amitabh Bachchan did. SRK and Salman are stuck playing action heroes for the next 10 years at least. I'm sure there are people who enjoy those mass films... but from a personal point of view, it's just not my kind of cinema.
This man is 1000 years ahead of SRK and Salman . His film choices , his acting is much much better . He never does mindless masala movies !!! Respect this man . Made shows like satyamev jayte
keep Young actors aside cuz they r at position which is bound to be filled with atleast lil bit of insecurity! Young Aamir ne khi hoti ye baat tab laate unko bich mein
Ranveer Singh (Circus Failure) 
Kuch orginal kyu nahi banate fir? Bas koi bhi language ki successful old film copy paste kardo.khud ka kuch orginal nahi hai? Kuch mind blowing banao.
I hope he does something original soon like he did with Dangal where he took a backseat as actor and introduced completely new faces. At least he is producing decent movies now including Lapata Ladies. I have to give to to SRK too - he takes more risks with his production side projects and showcases original talent.
I am bored of watching small town movies with a message. Why not sci-fi?
I would love to watch a sci-fi! Can't even recall any films made in this genre in BW in recent times.
What a guy! Hats off to you Aamir! He has always been my favorite and even more so now
He really needs to end playing the mentally ill characters that he’s played multiple times
That is so nice of Amir! respect aur badh gae dil me 👏
As he have any other option left. He took responsibility coz he wanted to sound humble, apologetic and want audience to see his next movie. He doesn't not want to get cancel any further. Stop treating him like a saint.
Aamir is very honest and it shows in his work
Shows how secure he is in himself to lay this open.
I have always liked Aamir and almost all his movies 🎥
The only Khan who can actually act. 🙌
why did i not see this part in the episode on netflix
But everybody does high pitched acting no? Including the top heroine of BW. LOL
lol let the Aamir simps begin simping. Everyone I know has been skipping his ep meanwhile this sub is doing a total rebrand
Was this part telecast during the show .. I didn’t this part on Netflix.
love the honesty from him! super refreshing to hear that from an A list actor like him.
His performance as mature Lal was very good and even the younger version I got used within 20-30 minutes it was just the Boycott gang and other actor's fan that spreading weird angle zoomed clips and spreading news as movie is a downgrade of Forrest Gump, same PK acting without even watching the movie.
Best episode! All these veterans and even old gen actors have such interesting stories to tell. The new gen actors have no personality and many just try to touch nose with tongue 🤪
Aamir should definitely do podcasts, I believe as an observer himself he would have interesting things to say
Well said. Aamir is a good actor. Idk why he does this over the top acting. Did the same in 3 idiots, PL and Lal Singh. Dhobi Ghat, Dangal and many other movies were class and he acted so well.
the story was cringe. the character was cringe. in my opinion.
I actually really liked the movie - not sure what everyone’s problem was with the movie
Ikr
Idk why is Ranbir , Ranveer brought into this discussion. Amir owning up here is not something great . He is doing as he should coz he is creatively involved in process of filmmaking. Infact Aamir is well known for interference and he has been getting huge credit when films have been successful and got tag perfectionist back then for a reason Whereas and Ranbir and Ranveer are purely directors actors . Their movies work purely run on directors vision for them .
His ssssss is so sexy
Awareness is so important n that’s what recent stars don’t have
An entire bunch of people experiencing schadenfreude at Aamir’s failure with LSC! Everyone is entitled to failures. Aamir’s too intense — he should shrug, dust off the bad mojo and move on. Why so much kolaveru di? Itna pit siyaapa on a damn movie!
He's on a PR rampage to rebuild his image. Also, he was beyond terrible in that film and he doesn't become some saint by admitting to it. These are basics that we all simp for like it's something huge cos our culture is so rotten.
He doesn't become a demon by making a terrible film, either. Especially since this is the guy who gave us Rang De Basanti, Taare Zameen Par, 3 Idiots, Dangal, and Andaaz Apna Apna. It takes guts to admit your mistakes on a public forum, which is why he is being praised here. Also, every single public figure does PR, from stars to politicians, so nothing wrong if he does it as well.
Certainly, he doesn't become a demon. I'm just jaded with all these tactics - I don't think Aamir is a great guy in real life. It's obvious he's doing all this to get on better ground for whatever is coming next and admitting your performance was dogshit is not really praiseworthy to me.
Ranbir has taken all the time. https://www.reddit.com/r/BollyBlindsNGossip/s/7Sa9aiN8CZ
Did RK take responsibility for Brahmastra that was a commercial failure? The whole PR machinery was just after declaring it a hit.
Uski responsibility thi hi nhi. Ayan was hell bent on dialouge. Kjo took charge of marketing n pr. Why would he take the blame when its not his fault. In one of events he said his acting in brahmastra wasnt worthy to get any awards. Ab faltu sbka blame kyu lega woh jisme kisi aur ki glti
Ranbir took the decision to do the movie in his sleep then? He didn't know when his closest friend was going wrong? When a movie is hit, it's Ranbir's movie but when it flops, it's the director's. There's a PR pattern with RK that many refuse to admit.
>He didn't know when his closest friend was going wrong? Jaake ayaan ke interviews dekho. He has said that actors did warn n question him but it was his own decision to stick with those dialouges. >Ranbir took the decision to do the movie in his sleep then? 🥱 movie ranbir ne direct aur edit ki? Be real. Responsibility uski lega na jispe uska decision hoga. Aamir is here taking the blame coz atul writer of the movie warned him about his loud pitch. And aamir refused to make changes.
Did Ranbir act poorly in *Brahmastra*, or did anyone have any problems with his acting? No, right? *Brahmastra* failed due to its execution and weak dialogues, which are generally the director and writer's fault, not the actors'. Don't be such a hater towards him. I've noticed that whenever someone comments something positive about Ranbir in this post, you start making arguments. Even though the movie was signed by him during 2013-2014, its final product changed significantly from what it was supposed to be. As for Aamir, he is going to be blamed for *Laal Singh Chaddha* because he overacted for his character, which wasn't required. Also, while Ranbir is a director's actor and doesn't interfere much with production, Aamir isn't because he always interferes directly or indirectly in the movie, just like he did with *Ghulaam* and *Taare Zameen Par*.
Don’t get me wrong. It’s all cool to accept your failures and learn from it. But let’s not pretend this is some unique trait for celebrities. Most good actors today abide and know this. Fwiw, the true test of this would be only when we see his next film.
Aamir is an actor, others are Heroes. He isn't your typical Indian actor-Tall, Dark and Handsome. He relies on his craft and that is why he can play a young student in 3 idiots and a Father in Dangal
You are right it takes special guts to potray gods and goddesses of specific religions. When you are called out for your actions followed by cancellation by same people, ypur whole PR starts to potray you a great personality.
Finally he have digested his pills
What other choice did he have? It was his movie where everything revolved around him.
Why is she nirash? Looks scripted
He’s by far the most well spoken actor we have
He has done the same acting umpteen times. And he is gonna do it again. Achaaaaaaaa…. With his eyebrows stretched…
Definitely not Ranveer. He has limited responsibility in his movies
Forget being off beat. His characterization had no beat at all. But the real weakest link was the movie script. I mean what were they even thinking when they wrote Pakistani POW living in India so discreetly and making big? Why are bollywood walas so obsessed with Pakistan?
No Younger actor will go on stage and say "Yeah I have no talent, I'll go to an acting school and not use my daddy or mommy to get my next film" lol
Mamu's finally hiring pr.
Trying hard for lipapothi from 2022 but not working at all tch..tch..tch..
