absolutely agree about Lara and Sushmita.
Very overrated, and it is hilarious Sushmita is somehow considered more beautiful than Aish 😆

I know 😆 and also I used to think that she must have given some amazing answers which is why Aish lost the Miss universe crown to her.. but her reply was meh 😕
Sush is a worse actor than Aish imo and definitely nowhere near her in terms of beauty 😆

Exactly! SRK has shown his range and versatility right from the beginning and all throughout his career, doing negative roles, serious roles, experimental roles so all those pegging him in romantic slot are just lying. And yes, his roles in this decade have been the most challenging and hes shown more range as an actor, hes earned acclaim for his performances though the movies didnt all click because of script deficiencies.
And agree, Andhadhun is certainly not overrated, it deserves all the awards this year

People just love to reduce srk to just Raj and rahul even though these were /are never considered his best roles!
YRF/Dharma benefitted as much from srk as he did from them.
And also.. its sad that his films this decade were average at most..which is why his performances got ignored by people and they think tht he must have acted bad.. when he did not. If only Fan would've had a better second half! His brilliant performance wouldn't have gone unnoticed :(( Thankgod atleast his role in Dear zindagi is being appreciated. .

SRK is the worst older mainstream actor. He overacts in almost every film. He hams like no tomorrow. He has these weird, twitchy mannerism that's very incompatible with grounded films. The residual love for him is essentially nostalgia. He did every OTT YRF and KJO romance and hence, cultivated his image as a romantic hero. The minute the trend of extravagant romances was over, his limited capabilities, terrible script sense were exposed to paying viewers.

His only good performances were Swadesh, Chak De and Dil Se/Dear Zindagi. He is unbearable in his romantic films.

Spot on.That twitchy mannerism you could spot in the aforementioned bolded films.In those films there are atleast few scenes where he goes overboard.His act is never consistent in a film.He was atrocious as Gaurav in Fan.

Also so many of his dialogues are so iconic, I dont think any other actor has had so many iconic dialogues in their career, dialogues that people can repeat at a moment's notice. Its his inimitable style of delivering those dialogues and his expressive voice that made those dialogues unforgettable.
Yeah people here love to typecast him as romantic Raj and Rahul but hes also the Rahul from Darr, Ajay/Vicky from Baazigar, Gaurav from Fan, I think his most iconic roles were the negative ones and the serious ones, Kabir Khan, Jug and Mohan Bhargava.
Of course he rescued YRF from its flop phase, no wonder Yashji loved him like a son. He also established KJo as a director.

I have never understood why TV actors are dissed here 😕
Some of the actors from TV are a lot better than most of the actors we have in BW...especially now when even average actors are hyped more than they deserve.
The second class treatment TV actors get here is condescending given that most of us stan average talent from BW.

But but.. the 2 bolded parts are contradictory 😛 He did Fan,Raees,Dear Zindagi in last 3 years.. which were all hardly romantic films.. and he shone in all three. Don't think that points to limited capabilities as an actor .. 😛
Script sense part I totally agree tho.


"Shone"... for his fans and SRK-biased reviewers maybe. I am neither.

Exactly. He is so weirdly theatrical, I hate that in an actor. As you said, he is never consistently understated.
