No idea who is the 2nd one for you!
But for me it will be Sallu...
Definitely it won't be Aamir. He is a damn good actor unlike the other 2(2nd one being the worst - Salman).

I've seen starting scenes of Bodyguard...could not sit through rest. It has more sick jokes (they can be branded Salman jokes or more acurate Anees Bazmee jokes)
And, @sam, I read your review. Your main concerns (or the ones you mentioned here) is on technical aspect (how unreal it was to bring a game character into real life). It was and the processes were not even convincing.
But, if you could just for a sec forget the part how much you still hate it.
(For me, I missed a story telling; things were happening without any reason and without any link to next scene. Bodyguard sure passes here but Dabaang is not. Dabaang is anyway better than Ra.One. It had smart moviemaking, smart dialogues but all were given to Salman. Like Ra.One, Dabaang had neither story nor a proper narration and was a collage of in-coherent scenes.
I believe nothing can be utter crap...every movie has something for you to take away. It may be only songs (most Imran Hasmi movies), cinematography (Raavan), action (Singham, Krrish), comedy (Run; comedy of Vijay Raj), special effect (Ra.One), car chase (Dhoom series) etc.
After all you need to appreciate SRK for two things,
1. Promotion. he showed who's the boss. Fooled people to watch this movie. Created such a mass hysteria about his movie that even if it flops his production cost would be recovered.
2. He dared to go beyond those tacky special effects. He did not care if Indian udience would welcome his movie or not; he just did it.
on side note, he's known to try such things... made "Phir bhi dil hai hindustani". It had an unconvincing and shocking content "Live telecast of hanging". None believed media could come to such level one day. The movie failed miserably. But the scenario is a reality now.
May be in future other movie producers would try to reach the level of special effect he had in Ra.One. Good for us audience only.)

I have Yolks not Brains!
I , for one, really LOVED Dabang!
The movie never took itself seriously and that's what made all the difference!!
How could you not love Salman dancing to the ringtone !!
And , my previous post was sarcastic What I meant was, that SRK was playing a Hindu character yet he was buried in a Christian themed funeral!!

lol No Entry 2.
lol, I won't go and watch movies like Ra.One in a theatre alone and then come back pissed.
Some 'crappy' movies have their own 'valid' reasons of existence.....depends on the way/how you watch them.
Sometimes I don't really see the point of watching every movie as a serious movie buff.

Dude aint City of Gold an old documentary?? There is nothing to scar your mind for days. I hope you meant City of God a.k.a Cidade de Deus. This on the other is a very poignant movie. That movie can have the kinda after-effects you have mentioned. But for me "Requiem for a Dream" had that kinda effect on me. Boy the week after I had watched Requiem... I went on a watching-crappy-movies spree like all the mushy mushy chick flicks or "romantic" movie as some of my friends call 'em , 3rd grade action flicks and all. But couldn't take it after that, had to resort to my favorite genre - drama.

Exactly. I don't think Dabangg was bad. Both my 70 year old grandmas (nani and dadi) loved it. It was a movie which could be watched by old and kids alike.I , for one, really LOVED Dabang!

I am amazed you are telling border a crap.
I have seen both the movies.Though i dont have much knowledge in this but tell me before border how many war based hindi movies were released or was a hit.
Lakshya is indeed a decent and a good movie but the movie starts to mature after 1hr.Before it it is just filled with stupid or boring lines.
But then again i think it was border which inspired all the movies released after it based on the same theme.

:new fight: Border vs Lakshya...I'm in
I liked Lakshya very much. You say its filled with stupid lines, I would say some good topics and scenarios are handled there.
The conflict and confusion one faces at a moment in his life...
Lakshya failed because it had controlled melodrama...
And, Border had good theme, good war depiction but too much drama in war scenes.
And, before Border go to 70's and prior...you'll find a lot of war themed movies.
