Watch 1942 The Earth. He plays insidious and awful person. A true psychopath.

Amir - No way



But Sanjeev Kumar, from doctor to truck driver to deaf-mute he did it all with ease... He played old man when he was young(Sholay)

Jack has played more badas* roles which is the image he has in real life too 😆 (Have you seen his 'Wolf' he plays a mild mannered guy, it's a haunting movie)

Sanjeev Kumar - not so much but he has played heroes with flaws unlike heroes of that period

IDK anything about old Bollywood. But I am fairly confident if anyone can come close to Jack It could be Kamal Hassan without comparing filmography. He has done a variety of roles including Psycopath (Sigappu Rojakal if you want a movie name). Plus he a is director, screen writer, sang playback and a classical dancer. Kamal is one of the best actors in the world, period IMO.
If we are putting Oscars in the mix since Jack is known for his Oscars Kamal is the actor with the highest number of entries among Indian movies in Oscar foreign film category.

The stone cold face of thakur and the wet eyes at the end when he almost kill gabbar
To the comedy in angoor and the first man to do horror person in jaani dhushman

To sublime person of aandhi

Whole world went gaga over Slumdog millionaire which to a normal Indian movie watcher is blow average film

I think if world knew even little bit of Hindi what would had been the case
