20 memes of Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Hrithik Roshan that are exactly what 2016 has been to Bollywood and life
Another year has gone by, and I am yet to understand whether it has been good to Bollywood or not. I mean there were some pretty good movies this year, like Dangal, Kapoor & Sons, Udta Punjab, Pink, Airlift. There have been women that were female oriented like Neerja and Dear Zindagi which still worked well at the box office. But the issue is that only a handful of movies worked at the box office, while the rest of them barely managed to break even or were complete duds. It was also a year where neither sequels nor sex comedies, both genres a safe bet at the box office, failed to work at the box office. Why we are still to find out why Kattappa killed Baahubali, as the sequel for the movie has been postponed to next year.
But then there was Sultan, the Salman Khan-starrer who nearly dethroned Aamir Khan’s 2014 movie PK as the highest grosser ever. But Dangal that released around this Christmas is all set to give PK a scare, unless demonetisation spoils its party.
2016 was also the year of breakups, divorces and for people who seek good news, baby births. It was also a year when Censor Board, led by the Modi bhakt Pahlaj Nihalani, was at its confused best. But the good thing was Pahlaj Nihalani found pleasure where everyone else found torture – A Flying Jatt.
I can talk more and more about how 2016 has been, but I would just let these memes do the job…
It has been a year where Censor Board was being its most vicious, isn’t it? Even the sarcastic Deadpool wasn’t spared…
