In top 10 movies this year, Ajay's Dhrishyam and Akki's Bbay and Gabbar is Back feature. They have minted more money than all the young stars' films, with exception of Varun's ABCD 2.
Are they more bankable than young stars? Does this mean that the 90's stars - 5 of them nearing 50- are actually bigger than Ranbir, ranveer, Sid, Varun etc.? Discuss

They are always underrated and under appreciated on this forum and online websites. In real world Ajay is acknowledged as a serious actor for movies like Gangaajal, Omkara, Legend of Bhagat Singh, and so many others. Hes a versatile actor who has given hits in comedy, action, political drama and romances as well.
Akki was always the King of Action and recently he reinvented himself in serious movies like Baby and Special 26. He has sustained his image and popularity for last 24 yrs!
Of course they are way ahead of the young brigade on the basis of the number of movies they have done and their versatility.

Ajay & Akki have themselves to blame ...Stardom doesn't always mean who gives greatest no of hits..but also who give least washouts..& these two have 2 many to count..."One swallow doesn't make a summer"😆

true. so much so that Akki's Baby (enjoyed this alot), Special 26, Holiday or even Gabbar isnt well talked about. at least he doesnt get nominated for it. cos its in the middle of other crap fest like entertainment, boss, etc.

But he does diverse films and can afford to experiment. Which many senior stars cant.

Yea, especially in 2009,2010, 2011. He started adding in good films 1 each year after that.

he had so many crapfests during that period cos he has many releases each year.

Chandni Chowk to China, Kambakkht Ishq, Blue, De Dana Dan, Khatta Meetha, Tees Maar Khan, Thank You, Joker ... the list is so long 😆

They are underrated only by fans of newbies.

Otherwise it is still Khans, Akki, Ajay and Hrithik who rule. Rest come later.

I'm a fan of both of them. 😳

Ajay cause of the way he emotes with his eyes. I love him in romantic movies, IMO romance is his forte not action. He has just tasted more success with his action movies.

I like Akshay cause of his comic timing. But I would say he's one of the few actors who is versatile because he is good at romance and action genres too IMO. Though no one beats Akshay at comedy.

I don't think they are underrated, cause they do have loyal fans. Just silent ones or people who don't bother with number game. 😆
