So we always hear about saif AND Kareena. I thougth it would be interesting to pit the two against each other.

I compared three of their performances aginast one another, which in my view are their strongest. In each instance, decide who outperformed the other

Omkara Vs Chameli

Parineeta Vs Dev

Salaam Namaste Vs JWM

Saif Ali Khan all the way hun.
But I'd choose Kareena for JWM vs. Salaam Namaste.
I hated that Salaam Namaste flick.

Oo, interesing Tashu! Ok my take:

Saif wins hands down for the first one. Langda Tyagi is possibly one of the strongest characters ever portrayed in the history of hindi cinema. ANd saif didnt just play the part, he lived the part. While Kareena was fantastic in Chameli, she falls slightly short in comparison to Saif's omkara.

The third one is bebo hands down. Saif rocks in those hyper roles, but this was kareena's game all the way. She brought Geet to life and made it one of hte most memorable characters. Loved saif as Nick Arora though, lol

And the second one is, honestly a tie. Kareena was fabulous in Dev, and Saif so intense in Parineeta. And watching him break down in that avie breaks me down as well.

So its 1 to 1. TIE!

Phew, thank god! That was tough! Heheh

Yes Desu- Saifu wins hands down when compared to anyone and not just Kareena for his role in Omkara. He deserved a Best Actor for that role but bloody Bollywood has this nonsensical Best Villian category...which seriously doesnt make any sense. He shud've been nominated for Best Actor man!!

I havent watched Dev 😉 But I'll forever be biased towards Parineeta. One of my best Bollywood movie ever. I heart that movie.

I KNOW! WTH! LIke he deserved the national award for htat role, but so many bloody politics in the industry!

Argh!

But you must watch Dev for kareena's performance. Girl leaves you stunned, and you remember her pained eyes long after hte movie's over. However, god Saif as shekhar was so INTENSE. Suna man ka angan is a haunting song. Loved it!

And JWM wins hands down for kareena!

Special mention:

Saif in Ek Haseena Thi, BRILLIANT! Kareena in Omkara, BEAUTIFUL!

Ohh- SAifu was absolutely gorgeous in Ek Haseena Thi. I just loved him in that role. He looked rough- naughty and rough. What a performance man!
But u gotta give credit to Urmila. She just nailed that role.
Her acting all crazy over burning money was stroke of a genius.

I shall watch Dev but sometime later. I dont really like watching depressing movies, to be honest. I watched 1947 Earth recently and I kept thinking for a while. It was just too much to handle for me.

I hate the awards- esp. public voting ones. They're plain biased.

Ohhh I'm watching Jey Leno right now- Jessica Alba is the guest. 😳
I am so in love with that woman, it's not even funny. She tops my HOT woman list 😳

actually, i have to vote for Saif... only place Kareena wins is JWM..

first one: Omkara no doubt was the finest performances ever seen and it was portrayed brilliantly by Saif.. and though Kareena was also great in Chameli, she falls a bit short. if i had to rate, Saif 5/5 and Kareena 4/5

second one: although, Kareena was quite good in Dev but in some portions, she tends to go a bit overboard.. Saif was perfect actually in Parineeta.. it's another one of his finest performances.. rating wise, Saif 5/5 and Kareena 3/5

last one is easy: it's Kareena's game all the way.. she was perfect in JWM.. and Saif was good too.. if i had to reate, Saif 3/5 and Kareena 5/5

and you know i am not biased towards either of them..! LOL.. hehehe.. i think when Saif gets a good director, it really brings out the actor in him.. he's a superb actor and quite underrated, imo.. and Kareena is a great actress too, however sometimes she is overrated... 😳

Wonderful performances from both of them. And what do they do when these two livewire powerhouses come together?

I'll have to agree with Sanam. I liked Kareena only after JWM.
Well, she was good in Chameli but I thought that it wasn't THAT challenging role. I see anyone portraying that role with ease. But JWM surprised me....coz u cud sound irritating while playing a loud role...but she was convincing- actually more than convincing. It is hard to do comedy without being too loud. Even SRK- Amir overdo it for me.
Akki and Saif are just born to do that stuff- not to mention Paresh Rawal and Rajpal Yadav- They are true actors.

I hated Kareena's role in K3G. Poo was just too much for me to handle. Oh well, I hated K3G as a whole...was too dramatic for me.

But Kareena is a good actress- sometimes she goes overboard.
Soooowwwiiieee Desu 😳 Me doesnt hate her though. I do like her.

You just have to see her good performances. For example, kareena in omkara was good, she was great in Hulchul, have you seen hulchul? Aitraaz was brilliant as well, and so was Fida. 2004 was her turning point. Thats when she left those over the top dramatic movies behind and embraced a new style of acting.
