I think Saif Ali Khan is one of the most versatile actors we have in Bollywood. I consider him a better actor than Salman, Hrithik etc, I enjoy his work Ek Hasina Thi, Omkara, Race, Kurbaan, Kal Ho Na Ho, Dil Chahta Hai and many other films. He has done sooo well! I don't understand why he hasn't become a big superstar I mean I rate him highly and of course he is one of the sexiest actors we have!😍

agent vinod...it luks like my type of film...

aarakshan is not really my type...prakash jha dramas are a bit too OTT for me..might catch it if it gets good reviews..

Saif is a brilliant actor. He does not have the power to pull audiences to the theatre like the other Khans but he's doing some good work unlike the others who seem to be stuck in the same Masala rut. As versatile as Aamir or maybe even a tad more ..! I think what he lacks is screen presence or charisma ...don't know what exactly but I can never bring myself to watch his films on the big screen even if I know he's done brilliantly
in it . Like someone mentioned , he's rated just about right and it's a little premature to talk of him / place him in the same league as the other Khans. Theyv been here , doing some consistent work since the last two decades and Saif has had to struggle for a large part of his career , I believe till 2005 (?) when KHNH released .

Nope...he's def not udner-rated! I mean he gets the media attention...he got the awards...he even has a fansite/club...so what's so underrated about him!

True under-rated is like stars Like Anupam Kher, Nandita Das, and Smita Patil...ppl always appreciate them, but they don't get the true value of attention, fame, respect that they deserve by the audience!

I think ppl disconnect with real quickly off-screen than on...he's cute, but he isn't as charismatic as the other Khans on or off screen!

I dont understand why Kurbaan is being equated to a gutter.

Princessaura, did Kurbaan disgust you because of hte intimate scenes? Because Saif has done intimate scenes wiht Preity as well in Salaam Namaste. And Vidya in Parineet, BIpasha in Race, so why is the intimate scene in Kurbaan also made such a big deal.
It was like 30 seconds of a 3 hour film. Did everyoen sleep thorugh the rest of the movie where Saif gave a gripping performance?
For me, Krubaan ranks as Saif's top four performances, in this order.
Omkara
Ek Hasina Thi
Parineeta
Kurbaan
His rom coms, while leight hearted and endearing, are NOTHING compared to his performance in these four films.



well I'll address the direct reply to me...well it certainly was one of the reasons..cz i cant remember his that specific race scene with bipasha now..so can't comment n it..
but i'm not a trying to be a prude cz other 2 movies salaam namaste n parineeta not only made me not feel bad about the intimate scenes i actually enjoyed saif in them too. so for me that wasn't the only reason for disliking the movie..btw correct me if i am wrong..but as far as i can remember neither of those previous movies were marketed mainly on the lead stars shedding their clothes as far as i can remember..
so i think saif let his acting talk in those movies n where in kurbaan _____..anyway it is my personal opinion..
i hated the movie plain n simple ..n saif in it too..(not the character)

and i do agree with ur other 3 movies cz Omkara, Ek Hasina Thi,Parineeta were his best 3 performances even according to me..they were movies that made me proud to say i AM A SAIF FAN while for Kurban i was feeling so bad as i was watching it with my cousin sis who already disliked saif..n i had nothing good to say to defend him when we watched it at a sleepover which was a 1st for me!

btw i think people always forget that not just being serious(sad/intense blah blah blah) is good acting. what Saifu did in DCH is something i don't think any actor can ever pull off other than just him!
so i think in my list i'll rank it as his 4th best performance instead of Kurban which for me did equal the gutter!

Umm that probably has to do with the fact that he has grown older and matured as an actor.

Acting is a business but it is an art form at the end of the day. An actor has to mature, get better and try different things. If you're just working for money then you're not really doing the art justice. Which is why I have no respect for guys like Akshay and Salman. Their mindless comedies are geared towards the box office and box office only. SRK was like that a few years ago but with Chak de and RNBDJ, Swades and MNIK he did get out of his comfort zone and try something different. Btw I have nothing against Salman the person, I've actually hung out with him at the Taj in mumbai, a couple years back and he's a really good guy. Him and Anil, whose the biggest douche you'll ever meet, but as an actor he's been doing the exact same thing since judwaa. Hamming and over-acting with a tere naam and a phir milenge in between. Some work, some don't.



well even i agree here about the chocolate hero roles..cz even i said that he doesn't do it n can't do it..it simply meant the same thing.. but yeaah about me being disappointed about it is also true..cz i really love his like that!!im sensible enough to realize he can't do the same thing anymore but that doesn't necessarily make me happy about it!

anyway Akshay n Salman stuff u said is totally true. they r always creating mindless movies but what my point is this topic isn't about acting talent cz if that was the point of discussion Saif sure is leaps and bounds ahead of Akshay and Salman! But BO success is the main thing that makes a superstar in B'wood so unfortunately in that side Saif sure lacks a lot..

anyway i pretty much agree to all the points u made in this..so still my idea is Saifu is rated just right neither overrated or underrated..
