Hehe. Understandable that ones who never did such record breaking, iconic films and are flopping since last 7 years - they and their disgruntled PR will bash 3 Idiots and Aamir or give credit to even Mona Singh or the pups in 3 Idiots for its success.
I have been seeing such whining for decade now with disgruntled PR either claiming all films were offered to SRK or downplaying BO success and critical acclaim of Aamir's films or giving credit to nobodies like Gracy Singh or Sharman or Madhavan for Aamir's hits.
LMAO! Who is Madhavan? He was hit only in South. In rest of India he is only known as guy who was sidekick to Aamir in RDB, 3 Idiots and to Kangana in TWM series.
Even a flop actress like Kangana got him to play sidekick in her films.
The balatkar speech is not a rape joke but written to illustrate that learning by rote and without understanding is disastrous. Of course Hirani should have used other words to give this lesson but the speech is not meant to be a rape joke.
Anyway it is Aamir who gets invited to China and people love Rancho. No one invites Omi Vaidya or Madhavan or Sharman there. Aamir kept giving bigger hits like PK, Dangal, Dhoom 3 later while Sharman, Omi and Madhavan are nowhere now.
The fact is that every film has its type of actors that suit it.
SRK can only do QSQT, Dil, Dil Hai ki Manta nahi, Raja Hindustani, Fanaa type fluff films of Aamir. He is misfit for Lagaan, RDB, TZP, Dangal, Sarfarosh, AAA, Earth, 3 Idiots, Talaash, PK.
Lulz at giving examples of flops like Raees.
But disgruntled fans and PR can have fun claiming X, Y, Z film was offered to 'King' or that all films which did MUCH better, critically and commercially are trash.
Such repetitive comments and topics have been around for decade. It does not matter at all in real life.
There is a reason why these iconic films are successes and modern day classics. Audience and critics loved them. Their cast is perfect, no matter what one says.
These films changed face of Indian cinema and proved even a film without foreign locations, naach gaana and puja songs, wedding scenes, love triangles or action, villains etc can break records.
Cope. Cope harder. No one else could have done 3 Idiots and pulled off that kind of global success with it the way Aamir did. Originator of 200 crore club.
