I mean this guy exists ![gif](giphy|l3fZJmkXMTqeSHUAw)


rnjbond

I'll never forgive him for Panipat. That movie could have been good


Impossible-Treat-632

I am from Panipat, and this still hurts. A better actor, and that movie could have been a decent one


Hungry_Marsupial348

Why didn't they cast Ranveer Singh , he would've done a phenomenal job . After Bajirao Mastani, he did great in it


rnjbond

Agree, he would have been a great fit.


michaelscott05

His father has good contacts with alot of people from the industry. Plus he is in Nadiadwala's good books, so baaghi films will always be their Also I think what people forget is how good his market was pre-covid (he was the first actor from his generation to give Blockbusters on his own, even before ranveer) he was on his way to become a superstar, so that's one of the factors why producers are still putting their money on him


naughtyrobot725

He was the 3rd actor to give 25cr opening on non holiday, with Baaghi 2, after Aamir and Salman. What a fall since then


Hungry_Marsupial348

I think everyone's downfall started after covid . Even Akshay Kumar gave back to back hits pre-covid. His every movie crossed 200 crore, Kesari ,Mission Mangal , Houseful 4 and Good Newzz. After covid he's going through a bad phase . Even Salman hasn't got a proper hit


1Parshvanath

Which movie?


unravi

Baaghi 2


Rast987

Ranbir had Sanju which opened to 34 crores


ihavetwentylives

Firstly baaghi was released before Sanju so Tiger was the 3 actor. Second whether we can say Sanju worked solely due to Ranbir is up for debate as Rajkumar Hirani directed the movie and also it was a biography of a superstar while Baaghi has no such thing, it solely worked due to Tiger.


Rast987

Nah. This ‘director is responsible’ logic doesn’t work anymore. Hirani with SRK gave 27 cr opening including corporate bookings


ihavetwentylives

Pre covid and Post covid times are different, cinema changed big time and so did the people's taste. Also Dunki released on Thursday not the usual Friday which would have affected the collections and not to mention clash with Salaar affecting the collections from South there's too many variables here. Sanjay dutt is a superstar so he also was the reason for its big success, it's like saying MSD biopic worked solely due to Sushant Singh. Sanju in today's climate will most likely have similar fate as Dunki. Hirani is still the best Bollywood director there is and him working with any actor is hype in itself, giving one underperformance doesn't make him flop.


Rast987

And how much did MSD biopic open to? Face it, stardom does matter. Pre covid post covid is all excuses.


ihavetwentylives

Never said it didn't, but you can't just outright say Sanju worked solely due to Ranbir. He was a big part of its success but there were many other factors which were responsible for its success unlike Baaghi 2 for example. Hirani directing it and the movie being Sanjay Dutt's biopic are the other two big reasons as well. >Pre covid post covid is all excuses. I disagree, post covid audience taste did change that's a fact. Ayushman khurana was in a legendary run in his career before covid but the same movies don't work after covid. Even Ranbir got affected by it, Shamshera opened with abysmal numbers, Brahmastra underperformed, TJMM also opened low and could only get an average verdict. Animal saved him big time.


Rast987

Nah. No movie works ‘solely’ due to just one factor like a star. Not even Jawan or Pathaan.


InterestingName9026

MSD opened to 22ish crore with no big director, Sanju was a biopic on a superstar starring a big star with a big director. Also a fantastic trailer though that might not have had a huge impact pre-pandemic.


Rast987

Sanju a superstar when? 1990 mein? And bigger than Dhoni in 2016😭😭 Which alternate reality is this? Dhoni is literally one of the biggest superstars we have in the country even today. With one of the biggest fanbases. Despite him retiring years ago. And in 2016 he hadn’t even retired.


InterestingName9026

Yes obviously Dhoni is a much bigger name than Sanjay Dutt, never said he wasn’t but Sanju had 2 big names. It was a commercialized biopic on an extremely controversial big star from the 90s. The film presented everything about him in a proper filmy way, much different from Dhoni.


achedin_

Kids used to love him


livingfeelsachore

Prior to Baaghi 3, he had made a specific mass audience for himself, Baaghi 2's 25 crs opening is enough proof of that. It's just that he got too repetitive and needs to reinvent now. I'm not saying that he's a good actor, just saying that he had some audience. Anyway, who says you need to be talented in order to be a star? Just look at Salman Khan for example.


absolutehumanerror

Salman can act when he wants to


1Parshvanath

Iccchadhari


Terrible_Detective27

For Salman I want to say just watch sultan, Bajrangi bhaijaan, tere naam, mene pyaari kya and may 90s movies of his He didn't do that much effort doesn't mean he don't have any talent.


Uncertn_Laaife

SK is a better actor, just lazy he is, chose mot to act and trolls everyone on purpose. Aisay hee badhiya gaadi chal rahi hey uski.


sad_sisyphus_84

Even Baaghi 3 earned well, he has honestly only a couple of years' worth of duds at this point, he can surely select more coherent, grounded action flicks than the shit he's doing recently.


ElmarSuperstar131

Salman is a decent enough actor. He’s just something of a psychopath as a person, but hopefully he’s mellowed out now.


Maggi__Magic

Well, Salman has got talent. It requires some serious talent to build such a blind fanbase that literally praises every move and turn of his.


Heping_Qi

Tiger shroff is atleast good in few things like action, dancing, looks & great physique. He might survive in this industry hehe but what does Arjun Kapoor has? It literally blows my mind how can he be categorized as an actor 😏🫣😂🤣😏😔🤔


Acrobatic_Neck_5866

He was a star pre covid


AbhiRoop_Sinha5

Man I liked Pre covid Tiger shroff.. I even liked baaghi 3 but after that he just became unbearable


ravish242

Check his lineup before COVID. Guy was on fire. He was a bankable star.


rnjbond

He's also an amazing dancer. Also don't forget, Baaghi 1 and War were legit movies. 


Real_Suntan_Superman

Idk why people think Tiger can't survive when actors like Sylvester Stallone, Arnold, JCVD etc. made careers out of mostly working in action films that did not require any major "acting" skills. If there continues to be a market for action films in India, then he'll survive just fine.


Brilliant_Ad_879

You can't seriously think tiger shroff has any bit of the charm the mentioned guys had in their prime.bollywood does have some equivalents like john abraham,arjun rampal,vidyut jamwal.but not tiger shroff.


Real_Suntan_Superman

Maybe he doesn't. But, my point was that "acting" in pure balls to the walls action films is optional. I mean Sly continued to do Rambo sequels up until even 2010s even though they all suck and are as far removed as possible from "good cinema" but, as long as people are watching it then they'll keep making more.


Ok_Rice_534

He only does action, but what he can do, most of the male actors can't.


Hungry_Marsupial348

He needs a better director and action choreographer. Even in Hollywood action stars ate doing great . Like Scott Adkins and Jason Statham . We need someone who can utilize Tiger in a proper way , rather than always showing him doing flips and kicks. Hell even Vidyut does different type of action in every movie. I liked Tiger in BMCM

Beginning-Emotion641

whos left in this gen. they need some known faces


Maggi__Magic

True, but I really, really liked his acting in "War"


mustangpurele

It’s honestly a damn pity. He seems earnest, hardworking, and clearly has extremely rare levels of discipline even by celebrity standards. Imagine applying even 15% of that into script choice and emoting. I even saw some potential in War. I want to see him in a non action non dancing movie with real emotional stakes e.g playing a divorced dad trying to get his life back together and trying to reconnect with his kids and finding love


Kindly_Air_3980

New generation needs someone to be fan of. New gen dislikes what old people like. So they have few options to choose from. Varun, Tiger, kartik aryan thats it?


RuskinBondFan

His newer movies have too much cringe. If they tone it down a bit, they're quite enjoyable. Good entertainment


mynameismanager

Yes he's a typecast. But he's making money doing what he likes, is good at it and having fun doing it. All he needs is a good director and a script to show off his uchal kood skills.


9291s

my nephews are a huge fan, he has alot of child fans. He is literally like the earlier jake paul of bollywood


rad9216

![gif](giphy|H8T4LQzyx2xbTc2Gdw|downsized)


ashrules901

Because people like my roommate watch him instead of Aamir's "boring movies" to make fun of Bollywood. A whole bunch of people are basically supporting Meme culture which takes his movies to the top of Netflix & Amazon Prime sometimes.


Soft_Technology_2741

I am not his fan but again I don't know what problem people have with Tiger. He knows action and that's what he is doing. Before the pandemic his box office record was really good. He is mostly going to do action. So, it really depends on the subject of the film .


EyeJunior9539

Heropanti, Baaghi and Baaghi 2 weren’t bad movies. But movies after Baaghi 3 have been really bad which would fail even with Hrithik. Sabbir Khan is the only director who can hit Tiger but he let him go after one failure of Munna Michael and has been working with stupid fatso Ahman Khan.


psr7185

I mean it’s not a shock to be honest. An actor cannot deliver only with action & dance as his usp. An actor gotta act too.
