Ummm I want Farhan Akhtar in more movies!


You aren't the only one, but I still prefer him as a director. And I hope after Karthik Calling Karthik and Dhruv (both some of my most awaited films), he can go back to that. Although, I am not too thrilled about Don 2.

I think he should continue doing both - acting and directing.

He should probably quit singing. 😆

I heard he got a great script for Don 2.. but don't know.. his friend wouldn't say anything bad about his work. 😆

I am looking forward to the rom com he's planning to direct. 😃

Jimmy Shergill is still not good looking to me. He's average acting and average looker.

sapnon_ki_pari -- Farhan's next movie is Karthik calling Karthik. He's playing a crazy person from what I read of the articles.

Actresses can reach heights easily as compared to actors. Some, yes, do it because of their acting, as mentioned - such as the likes of Shabana Azmi, but SOME barely need to act and reach stardom. Name one actor in recent times that is as famous as Katrina, for no darn reason? Has any actor in recent times broken the dominance of the 3 Khans, whereas you see actresses who can barely act overshadowing those who can with their slutty outfits, obscene movie scenes and whatnot. Glamor can take an actress to new heights in bollywood, whereas with actors that is certainly not the case. Yes, there are a lot of actors who are over rated, and same goes for actresses, but with all honesty actresses can reach heights in no time, without even putting much of effort. There are always exceptions, but actresses can get hyped up way more than actors.

The fact remains that 'actresses' such as Katrina - while surely do gain a strong fanbase - are hardly considered actresses. No one claims Katrina acts good. People go to the extent of saying that she rides on the coat-tails of Salman and Akshay. So no, I would argue that she isn't an over-rated actress because people don't even consider her one in the first place!
Dominance of 3 Khans without acting much, you say? See Akshay Kumar. He hasn't acted in a lot of his recent movies yet they do so well.
Also, the comment wasn't about over-rating -- simply about actors being more talented and that isn't true. The males and the females are just as talented as each other. For every SRK, there is an Aishwarya. For every Kamal, there is a Tabu.

I think Vivek overdid it in Saathiya too by the way. Personally, I know criticizing Saathiya is a no-no here. But if you see the performances of Maddy and Shalini in Alaipayuthey, then Rani and Vivek's performances pale in comparison. Though I suppose one should not expect Shaad Ali to draw out the same great performances that Mani Ratnam can. Even though Shaad did his best to copy frame by frame what Mani Ratnam did in AP, he still could not capture for me the same essence.

*Just my two cents.


Never saw Alaipayuthey, but I do think Vivek did a great job as a newcomer. there was always room for improvement with his future projects. Sadly, he never got decent romantic film offers after that. More or less, I think his character wasn't some serious lover boy, it was more of a perky, outgoing, naughty type of character, which maybe to some appeared as him over acting? but, as far as I know, Saathiya comes down as one of Vivek's best performances.

I disagree though. I feel Vivek has done a variety of roles, and has done justice to most of them if not all- BUT he never gotten the deserving credit. Saathiya was one of his best movies, I no where saw him over act in that film, I'll agree about the other two to some extent, but surely not about Saathiya. He was brilliant in that film.

I thought Company was the one where he was good. Saathiya was an underwhelming experience for me partly because I watched the Tamil version beforehand. After watching Madhavan's performance, Vivek's portrayal of the same character seemed forced and overdone. Not just that, the dialogue and the chemistry between the pair and cast seem laboured as well.
As an example: See the beginning scene where Vivek goes towards the railway station and chats up with Suhani's friends then compare that with where Madhavan goes to the station and how naturally he flirts with Shakti's friend.
