Movie Review: Thank You For Coming - 3.5/5

# Kangana Ranaut's Spicy Take: Salman Khan is 'Quite Cool' – But Not Those Directors! **Imagine Bollywood's firebrand Kangana Ranaut dropping truth bombs on stage, picking Salman Khan as her cool pick while roasting top directors.** At the News18 Rising Bharat Summit on February 27, Kangana's unfiltered responses had the audience in splits, proving once again why she's the queen of candid commentary.[5][4] Kangana was put on the spot: "Aapka acha dost kaun hai?" among Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, and Aamir Khan. Laughing it off, she quipped, "Ye mere dost kab se bann gaye?" But when pressed on who she likes most, she declared, **"I think Salman is quite cool."**[5][4] This praise comes despite her past rejections of major roles in his blockbusters *Bajrangi Bhaijaan* and *Sultan*, which she dismissed as underwhelming – roles that later became massive hits for Kareena Kapoor Khan and Anushka Sharma.[3] Yet, Kangana insists Salman remains kind, even hyping her film *Emergency* through mutual friends.[3] The real fireworks? When asked about directors like Anurag Kashyap, Karan Johar, and Aditya Chopra. Kangana didn't hold back: **"Mere standards itne low nahi"** (My standards aren't that low), taking a sharp dig at the list.[5] Her beef with Karan Johar dates back to 2017's *Koffee with Karan*, where she branded him the 'flag-bearer of nepotism' and 'movie mafia' for pushing star kids.[4][5] She's long positioned herself as Bollywood's outsider voice against industry insiders.[1]

Kangana's history with Salman is layered – she's empathized with his 'misunderstood' image, calling out jealous 'negative people' in gangs hostile to outsiders like her.[1] She's even shut down past insensitivities from him, like his "raped woman" comment during *Sultan* promotions.[6] Despite turning down his offers and public spats, their bond stays surprisingly warm.[3] This latest showdown highlights Kangana's fearless vibe in a nepotism-plagued industry. From *Emergency* promotions to viral trends revisiting her Hrithik Roshan saga, she keeps rewriting her narrative.[2] **What do you think – is Salman really the 'cool' one, or is Kangana just stirring the pot? Drop your thoughts in the comments below, share this post with your Bollywood squad, and let's keep the debate alive!**
