exactly Riya. they can be great off screen or in other departments but if they are not good at acting then people will criticize their acting.

let me give you an example. there is one man who I think is the best singer in the world. he also tried his hand in acting. he did 3 films, all of them flopped, and being an ardent fan I saw all of them. and even though he's my favourite celebrity, I won't be shy in saying that his acting sucks because it does!

now you can all guess who he is. 😆

about Himesh, well actually I was a big fan of his until recently when he just started acting really horrible and got on my nerves. (I think sanam can remember me talking about my Himmy days in MC a while ago😆)

Aww cute story. Ask the deepika gang, I used to criticize her for her acting so much, back then I loved her offscreen, but she hadnt impressed with her acting. Post LAK, I can say that she is a decent actor as well. There is a difference, earlier I used to love her off screen but thought that she sucked as an actor, but now after watching more of her, my opinion has changed.

By saying tat Imu is a humble guy.. I ment tat he never overhyped himself.. and neither did he hire any PR machinerey to overhype him.. So I dont get the fact as to why is he being called overhyped or overrated. And about the acting bit.. I say it again.. acting is a very subjective thing.. I am sure there are many people outside this forum who like Both Himesh's and Imu's acting.. Tat is why both their debut movies were successful.

Thank you and thanks to dizzyonlemonade too!

The only regional film I have ever watched was about 10 years ago (I don't remember the name but it was some Telugu movie from which Judaai starring Anil K, Urmila and Sridevi was copied). Needless to say, I don't remember much.
But lately, I have been hearing so much about Sidharth and all these South Indian movies from which Hindi movies are copied scene to scene that it seems like a shame not to watch the original.

With this I end my interference in this thread. I will now let you guys get back to discussing actors and their acting capabilities (or lack thereof)😆

Not just overhyped.. it's become about underrated as well.. along with people who we think are not good actors..

adios, please don't take it personally... as i said, i still respect your opinion always even when i may not agree completely... 😊
Nimmy, same thing... i don't quite agree with the 'range' because SRK has shown range as well, even if not so much now so one can't say he is not capable... i believe him to be just as great an actor as aamir... maybe one notch lower but not more.... at the end of the day, we'll all have varying opinions...
now i find abhay wooden, and that's just that... my opinion... and i respect that people think he is a great actor even if i may not agree...
i really like how peaceful all the discussions have been here in this section, that too 35 pages later... having different opinions is not wrong, as long as we can all respect each other's views... well, that's my view... 😊

Its not just about Bollywood. .There is no fixed definition of a great actor anywhere in the world.. Its a very subjective thing.. U might like an actor I might not.. Everyone finds their fav's.. You cannot declare an actor to be good or bad! Nothing is constant in this unvierse.. Change is the only constant.. So you dont know.. the good might turn bad tomorrow.. and the bad might turn good..
Ps: Sanam.. I dont take anything personally in debates.. I just like to express my opinions wid passion.. If someone gets offended by my views or thinks.. tat I tend to get on ur nerves.. Then please tell me and I wont take part in tat discussion.. But When I do take part in a discussion.. i just express ma opinion wid passion.. and honesty..

You are right people's preferences are very subjective. I don't think Rahul Bose is a good actor. I think Hrithik has not really delivered in a lot of his films. I say all of this and some of their fans come here and discuss their opposing opinions. No one gets upset. That is what we are trying to do here. Lets have people give their honest opinions in a respectful manner.

The same goes for Imran. I am not a fan of his acting at all. Kidnap was just awful. But Imran is in this industry as an *actor*, so he will be judged accordingly. I am a Deepika fan because I see a lot of potential in her and I admire her attitude offscreen. But I will also admit that she still has a long way to go as an actor.

Yes Himesh and Imran had successful debut movies, but their second movies and now Imran's third were total flops. Why should their success or failure change people's opinion about their acting.

My point is that even if I don't agree with someone else's opinion we can still have a respectful discussion, without telling other people what they should and should not think about a particular person's acting ability.

Well I am all in for Judging Imran.. but I was just giving my perspective on his acting.. I dont have a prob wid anyone judgeing him.. But I just wanted to give my positive opinion on his acting. By telling the fact that Imran and Himesh have achieved the success.. I just wanted to point out that there are people out there who appreciate the talent and are willing to pay money for it! And I guess the friday result of box office is all that matter.. because tat is what runs people's households.. and by showing the box office figures I in no way wanted to change opinion.. but was just solifying my positive perspective on the.. Well I dont think I ever told anyone.. how to think about a certain actor's acting ability.. I was just showing my positive imagery of these actors after reading about all the negative comments... And I think when we post our views we tend to respond to our opposing views.. If no one responds to anyone's views.. then that wont be a thread it would be a newzpaper.. where there iz no interaction between people and they are just stating facts..
Overall...I wanna say tat.. after reading majority of negative perspective about Imu and Himesh.. I thought tat I just chip in my positive views about them.. so that this thread can have a wholesome perspective of these celebs. This is how I see Himesh and Imu through my eyes.. and that is wat I wanted to tell everyone! Himesh acc to me iz a great tripple threat.. singer, composer, actor.. that is his Usp! He is very passionate about his art and has found enough success in his artform to be accepted in Bollywood. Imran Khan is pretty new.. his debut movie was widely accepted.. he tried diff things but failed.. but I still liked him in all of his movies! I think he is has a long way to go! So this is how I see both Himesh and Imran through my eyes.. And I know that there are many out there who dont see wat I am talking about.. but there are many who do agree wid my perspective.. they might not be on IF.. but they are out there..lolz
