The success of Pathaan and Jawan starring Shahrukh Khan leaves the whole of the industry in a thinking state that time demands transformation and adaptation along with the extreme hard work of the artists.
Shahrukh Khan is one of the finest artists in the Bollywood industry. He has managed to transform himself as per the needs and demands of the audience and time frame. Even in his ’60s, he carries that Aura and best fanbase that any newcomer would admire to achieve at least once in life. But the Kal Ho Na Ho actor is blissfully enjoying the stardom to a massive scale.
The self-made King Khan of the Bollywood industry started his acting career on national TV. Imagine the gifted stardom he ended up with. No doubt, the Kuch Kuch Hota hai actor is a top star for the longest time frame in the history of Indian entertainment.
Gone are the days when just good looks and a few dancing skills were enough to get a strong introduction to the Bollywood industry. Now with time as the industry is growing the demands and expectations of the audience as well as sky-high. Many superstars came here, enjoyed stardom and left the industry after a downfall. Because they were not able to adapt to the changes the time was demanding.
Even Shahrukh Khan had to face failure with his last release 5 years ago named Zero. Although he worked hard and brought the best visual effects in that movie. But it failed to entertain the audience. Hence as a true artist, he bowed and accepted his failure silently. He had options to retire with respect. But he rather worked on the demands and gave himself the needed break.
After 5 long years, he returned to the silver screen as a completely transformed fierce, unbeatable, unmatchable and yet entertaining Shahrukh Khan. The audience welcomed him as Pathaan and his fever went through the deep lanes of India creating magic in India. Now, the second entertainer of the Fan actor, Jawan broke all the records of the opening day.
Hence, the rest of the industry is overwhelmed and must be thinking about what worked for him. Was it just his grand comeback? Or the audience just missed him so much. No, he is just going with the flow. Rather than trying his same success mantra, Shahrukh Khan accepted the need to change and deliver as per the demands.
His action thriller is a complete entertainer with suspense, drama, cause, action and flawless acting. Only one thing continued with time. He actually lives the character and doesn’t act. His existence works as a gleaming polish for his companions. Emotions justify the words he uses to express.
Now Shahrukh Khan serves as a big example for the rest of the artists in the industry to rethink and evaluate themselves as artist and transform them as per the demands and expectations of the audience. Be it his friend Salman Khan or his contemporary Aamir Khan. From senior actors like Ajay Devgn to young talents like Ranbir Kapoor and Ranveer Singh.
Everybody needs to accept that Bollywood is going through a phase of massive change. The audience expectation is changing and they must adapt it to survive. Even Aamir Khan is on a sabbatical break and working on himself before starting a project. Further, the last release of Salman Khan’s Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan was average at the Box office. Hence after Tiger 3 he also plans to take some time off .
In the end, Shahrukh Khan not only revived the falling entertainment industry of Bollywood. But he also bought back the trust of the audience over the Indian artists for entertainment. After Jawan, the Don actor is awaiting his next release Dunki in January next year.
We wish him all the best with Jawan and upcoming projects.
Thanks for Reading.
The Bollywood movie Jawan is being welcomed by Indian audiences with wide arms. It is a massive success bringing back the stardom of Pathaan actor. Shahrukh Khan looks refreshed, loaded with energy and unmatched prowess and mastery in acting. Every second of the film targets entertainment. Characters of the story are a big win as they smartly try to connect well with the audience emotionally. Shahrukh Khan fairly balances the roles of father and son.
