There has been lot of talk about these movies marked as dumb, classless, brainless etc. Critics are also claiming that Salman Khan is doing only one type of movies. Now answer to them is why not? There are particular types of movies which are working for him. It is a Genre that Salman Khan has re-invented himself into, genre of having action, a bit of comedy, good music, and different dancing steps. In the past, Rajnikanth used to get such a big mass following in South or Amitabh in late 70’s and early 80’s, and they never got criticized for doing the films that works for them and public, then why put a finger on Salman Khan alone?

After all Salman Khan has tried different genres in the past.

•    Romantic: Saajan, Pyar Kiya to Darna Kya, Jab Pyaar Kisise Hota Hai, Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam. Tere Naam.
•    Family: Maine Pyar Kiya, Hum Aapke Hai Kaun, Hum Saath Saath Hai
•    Comedy: No Entry, Partner, Andaz Apna Apna, Biwi No. 1, Judwaa, Mujhse Shaadi Karogi
•    Action: Karan Arjun, Veergati, Suryavanshi, Garv, Wanted

Salman realized, his forte is in Action, Comedy, Family and Romance, so he mixed them all together to give blockbusters. He has excelled in those sorts of movies. They are not mindless movies; they are mind-free movies. It relieves tension and put a viewer in a two and half hour drive of fun filled entertainment. If Aamir Khan is being credited for doing movies on social issues such as Dyslexia for Taare Zameen Par, then Salman also did couple of movies addressing social issues such as Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega and Chori Chori Chupke Chupke, which addressed the issue of surrogate childbirth.  Salman also did an Epic movie such as Veer (but failed at box office) or Baabul on remarriage of widows.

Salman Khan, now has became a synonym of success at box office. Every thing he is touching is turning it into Gold and it is high time, he gets credited for some of the amazing work he has done over last 23 years.
