Too long and no background music.
Boring automatically.
Classics I'll watch some day when I have lotsss of time in hand.

Me too. I don't think I have seen even one movie from B&W and Old Kumar's era.

Nay...he is not boring...see the thing is that people change with time...of course if u ask a 16 year old to watch DK's movie...it would be a snoozefest for them...I vcan't even watch SRK's older movies now...I tried to watch Deewana and found it so chhesy...u never know...30 years from now kids would find 3Is a snoozefest...so u can't base ur judgement based on today's generation...If u had this poll in the 50s or the 60s it would have had the same affect as if asking peole today if the three Khans are boring 😆

That reminds me of a recent convo I had with a 16 yr old neighbour. She was running down QSQT badly and praising jane tu ya jane na to the skies!

I was flabbergasted but then looking from her perspective, some of her issues with QSQT when not viewed with our rose tinted glasses seemed justified.

We overlook most shortcomings of things, places and people we have soft corners for and are nostalgic about.

Meena😡Tumhe saare legends se pareshaani hai..Dilip Kumar is the original 'actor' of Bollywood.Before him it was all theatre style naatak acting-priyatam tum kahan ho(in nasal tone🤣)
Ask your parents and grandparents and they will tell you about him.all the actors from AB sr,dharmendra,Sunil dutt,Manoj kumar etc to SRK talk about being inspired by his acting skills..give the man his due👏

@bold: completely agree there...as per me, Dilip is huge yyaaayy!! if any1 has seen his naya daur, gopi, ram aur shyam...it is GOOD n FUN!n yes he was one of the 1st natural actors of BW ..hence more the respect!

I thought he was an actor of little variance and adaptability BUT when he was good then he was good, for me he stood out in two films Dil Diya Dard Liya & Shakti, in Shakti his performance was understated, subtle but very poignant, you could sense the flames burning underneath, contrastingly opposite to Amitabh's open dramatical portrayal, both delivered the goods, but dare I say Dilip more than held his own against the prime Bachchan.
