As far as Badlapur and Ek Villain comparison is concerned, Badlapur is anyday a better story than Ek Villain. Badlapur actually shows how a good guy turns bad and bad is nearly not that bad and has actually a heart. It's not a love story.
Ek Villain Sid isn't really shown bad just like many movies how in love a goon becomes good guy and beats another bad guy who is actually bad.It's more of a love story.
The Korean movie that Ek Villain is remake of itself is so gory and boring.
1. SOTY is my all time favorite. Love at first sight with Sid in SOTY. I think Sid was as good as Varun in SOTY if not better.
2. HTP is such a beautiful story. Loved Sid in HTP.
3. Ek Villain was just awful.Screenplay wasn't up to the mark. Full of cliche moments. Shraddha's dialogue delivery just ruined it more.
4. Brothers. He had very less screen time in first half and had hardly any dialogues. I actually felt he was quite good in whatever he has to do. Found him better than Akshay in his small role. Move was OTT melodrama. Difficult to even bear once. More like Jackie Dada's story than brothers.
5. K&S: Yes Fawad was awesome but Sid was good too. Movie overall was awesome with superlative performances by all. Can't believe how much Alia sparkled in her small role.
I might not be correct but I feel a lot of members haven't even watched his work in the movies that they comment about. Like someone said few have just fixed permanent opinion that he is bad. They don't even watch his work but continue to express how poor his acting abilities are.
