He came, he saw and he conquered, but not for long. There are umpteen articles being written in the press, several polls on websites, and a lot of gossip among producers, challenging Hrithik's ability to carry a film on his shoulders. Will he make a film hit ? Does he guarantee a bumper opening ? Do his pelvic thrusts make the audience crazy ? Yes, he can carry a film on his shoulders, and his presence does ensure a super opening at least in the metros, but he is no magician with a midas touch to make every film turn into a 'Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai'!
Everyone knows the rage that Hrithik created post KNPH, he became a superstar that Indian movies hadn't seen in quite a few years. All of a sudden, the Khan trio sensed that there was danger, and that they had stiff competition now. However, after a superb start, what followed was not that encouraging for Hrithik's superstar status. There were a string of flops like 'Mission Kashmir', 'Fiza', 'Yaadein', and now the latest turkey, 'Aap Mujhe Achhe Lagne Lage'. Yes, all these movies had Hrithik, but then they also had a bad script, a bad director, some were signed before he signed KNPH.
