I liked him as the lead in old movies and I can still watch them. As an actor he is not bad at all, but as a person he is very, very cunning, diplomatic and pretentious. He is the type of person who will suck up to the person in power, and then dump them as soon as they are of no use to him. I can't stand him boasting about his charity and how grateful people should be for his charity.

Rajesh Khanna's films had the best stories I think. He hardly did any formulaic films especially in his initial run. Later he ventured into the OTT films during Buddhha B's reign.

He was the best actor of Hindi cinema with a mass fan following.

I agree... Every movie of Rajesh Khanna from 1969 to early 70's had wonderful stories.. and not to forget, equal space for leading ladies.. he somehow lost track later.. but I always found him more versatile than Big B even during his decline phase..

AB was completely wooden and repetitive in all his movies.. It is only post 2000 that he started doing different roles..

I loved Aradhana, Amar Prem, Kati Patang, Daag, Ittefaq, Ajnabee, Aap ki Kasam, Kudrat, amd so many more. Rajesh Khanna was a brilliant actor but also had typical mannerisms that make stars-a complete package.

Yes, don't like most of AB's films but especially don't like the way he changed the industry. The whole music scene changed, the film scripts, direction, cinematography. And the ladies became flowerpots.

If you notice the films before AB's rise and after, there's a complete 180 degree change.

Yes, he seems really selfish and cold hearted. Even Jaya said that he is the baby of the house. At age 71, it's something to be ashamed of.
