A good director? Yes. But a good actor? no
Before you start jumping on me and mention films like Bhaag Mikha and Rock on, let me say that those characters were very well written.

He was pretty flat in DDD. He was pretty boring in Wazir. Completely miscast in Shaadi Ke Side Effects. Luck By Chance was a great film but this guy ruined it.

I dont hate him or anything but he is not a good actor.

Agreeed. 😆
He totally miscast in Wazir. The only one who confidently with his roles is Amit Bachan.

His voice annoys me. Apart from that, it is okay as an actor.

Only good acting can do proper justice to a well written role/character. He did a commendable job in ZNMD, LBC, KCK, BMB and even Rock on for that matter. I personally thought he was great in Luck by Chance, Sapno se bhare naina sequence remains to be one of my favourites and he was terrific in that one. I wouldn't call it bad acting, at all.

Though I didn't like him in SKSE and Wazir looked boring to me, so didn't bother watching.

He is not that bad as an actor... Haven't watched Wazir, but he has done quite a variety of roles and he was pretty convincing in all of them...
BMB, ZNMD, DDD...
Only complaint is his voice... Its very coarse when he sings...
Apart from his singing, I think he is good enough in rest of the film making areas.
PS: Offscreen I love his sense of humor..😛
