I have watched him only in Ishaqzaade and found him decent there ... Much better than the promos.. so maybe I was pleasantly surprised ..
Finding him pretty underwhelming in 2 states promos..
The biggest drawback I see with him is that he always looks ... droopy ... Lack of energy and zest in his body language and the way he emotes on-screen...
Sushant Singh Rajput: Sushant has no superstar quality. He's a good actor and a decent dancer but I don't think he has that much appeal. I don't see girls going gaga over him nor do I see guys trying to emulate him. He did star in a commercial film like Shuddh Desi Romance but that role was just weird. Hopefully over time, he finds his audience and caters to their needs.
*Trying hard to be objective here đ*
He acts and dances reasonably well... and this forum is a pretty small "sample size" even in the online world... I see a lot more appreciation for him elsewhere like twitter, FB etc..
Waise bhi , all the people in the list are just one or two films old ... Kinda hard to definitively gauge whether they have that "superstar quality" or not .. And what does that mean anyways? I mean .. I guess what I am trying to say is the whole superstar quality thing is overrated .. or should I say... that after the Khans no one really seems to have that..
All these newbies will have to rely on either quirky, appealing storylines and trailers, or extensive promotions or the songs of their film to become chart-toppers..
Anyways, coming back to Sushant, he is deliberately choosing roles and films which will immediately appeal to critics first AND also which he is sure of being promoted well so that it is a commercial success too..
I think pretty much all these newbies have a "plan" regarding how they want to set up their careers and what kinda roles they want to take up in the first 3-4 years ...
Siddharth Malhotra: What can I say? The guy's definitely trying, I'll give him that. However, his acting and dancing is still somewhat awkward to me as a viewer. He needs to continue to improve these skills if he's wants to be taken seriously and going by his interviews it seems like he does.
I have not seen HTP .. so based on what I saw in SOTY .. I found him pretty awkward and self conscious .
Ayushmann Khurrana: Two words, overrated actor. It literally seems like he plays the same person in every film he does. If he wants to prove himself he needs to start signing difficult roles where he can show off his acting "talent".
Have seen him in VD.. and I liked him there ... I find him to be a pretty natural actor .. But I see him suiting only some kinds of roles ... I mean ... "looking the part" in only some kinda roles ..
Varun Dhawan: I thought he was bad in SOTY and I don't like him in any of his ads. He needs to work on his acting skills for sure. Until then, I hope his Main Tera Hero does well so he can continue to do massy roles that lack versatility.
I liked him the most out of the trio in SOTY ... He dances well and I felt he was the most comfortable and at ease in front of the camera ..
The whole movie was "fluff" ... but in the scenes which actually had some depth to them (like his scenes with Ram Kapoor) I felt he was good...
The MTH promos are boring and forgettable. I feel if he does take up a critic-pleasing film.. he will pleasantly surprise people..
Aditya Roy Kapur: This guy is as good of a dancer as Ajay Devgan, which is a problem. Something else that worries me about him is that he's too laid back for his own good. I don't see the burning ambition in him that I see in most of the newcomers which could screw him over at the end of the day.
Havent seen or followed him much ... apart from the fitoor articles ... By the way, I know that some of these seem harsh, but it's just constructive criticism. If you disagree, it's completely alright but understand that I'm just expressing my views. đ
