RNBDJ, Who is the king now ?

Posted by Shaan Khan on December 21, 2008

Just when the news of RNBDJ’s block buster week was tricking through, Newsweek announced that SRK is amongst the 50 top most powerful men IN THE WORLD. SRK fans have gone into a celebration mode while Bachchanistas (some masquerading these days as Akshay and or Amir fans just like they were once posing as Ajay “Pan Stain” Devgan and Sunny Deol fans) have gone into depression. Needless to say we feel sad for the Bachchanistas. Using Bubba Clinton’s words, “ I feel their pain”. I want the Bachchanistas to know that I am there for them in their hour of need. Should they need a shoulder to cry over, I am there. Should they need someone to listen to them babble, I am there.

To S S Sunderum, in particular, I want to reach out and say that this does not mean the end of the world. There will be a new dawn tomorrow, the sun will rise again. Please continue posting your lengthy illogical dribble. Your selective and unfair condemnation of SRK has unified and energized the SRK fan base. S S Sunderum, you my demented homie, are the wind below the wings of SRK fans. Without your hate filled post, SRK could have never done it. In the absence of your post I would not have taken the time or the trouble to write on behalf of truth & justice. Please do not stop, because most SRK fans would like to see SRK become the PM of India some day, and you my bitter looser, have the power in your poisonous pen to make this dream come true.

Ladies & Gentlemen, my friends, SRK is like that legendary horse, “Seabiscuit”. He runs faster when he hears approaching footstep. On any given day, SRK is a winner but when faced with competition, he becomes invincible, he becomes infinity. For instance, consider RNBDJ . Two of the best things about RNBDJ (we cannot state all the good things about RNBDJ because the list is too long) are, i) Adi abandoned his comfort zone and made an against the grain risky movie and ii) In keeping with the demands of the story that Adi wanted to tell, he intentionally kept the budget low (RNBDJ is relatively a low budget movie with little or no promotion either). These two factors (amongst so many factors) have made RNBDJ an iconic movie that people would be talking about for years to come. Success notwithstanding, many people still cannot get over the fact that Adi took the risk of making a low budget movie. People invariably ask, where did the courage come from ? The answer is very simple. The answer is that the courage stems from SRK. SRK is infinity and almost anything multiplied by infinity becomes infinity. The low budget of RNBDJ when it is associated with SRK becomes priceless. This is why Producers want SRK at any cost. Compare that with Lil C. Daraaouna had a huge budget, but when combined with a zero like Lil C, the whole movie became worthless and that is why Lil C as a lead anchor actor, has no future in Bollywood.

Bollywood today is in a transition. It is becoming more fragmentized like good old Hollywood. The era of one sole King is over. In time to come we will see an establishment of a multi polar structure, one king for each segment of the market. Nonetheless, SRK remains the solo king for the moment, the last of the Mohicans. Recent events have made this fact abundantly clear. Hence for the time being the wanna bees of Bollywood should take consolation in the fact that they had the privilege of also running. Akshay, Amir & Co should learn to wear their loss to SRK as a badge of honor. Those that attempt to topple SRK will like S S Sunderum only increase SRK’s longevity. Akshay and Amir should take note of the disastrous consequence of a similar attempt by Big B. To begin with, Big B made a run at SRK when everything around him was falling apart. It was a kamikaze attempt to revive a dead career. It was Big B’s attack on Pearl Harbor. Forget “not having a pot to piss in”, Big B when he tried butting head with the great Khan did not have “a dick to piss with”. Years of poor script selection and failures had already castrigated Big B . Hence, Akshay and Amir do injustice to themselves when they attempt to do a Big B. Both of these guys have a lot working for them and need not be as desperate as Big B. Unfortunately, it might take the failure of Ghajini, the braless Rajni (aka MKM) for Amir Obama to learn that you don’t mess with SRK and win. Perhaps someone should just send a copy of the latest Newsweek to Amir Obama. SRK is the king of Bollywood and will remain the king till he willingly abandons the throne.
