Who is technically a better actor? - Page 4

Acting is really subjective because I can barely stand Amir on screen. Dude is just unbearable, especially in his early movies.

bold: Absolutely...so, this poll makes no sense if one has no common idea what the "technically" in the title means. That's why I asked Minty as there are different ways to look at acting. A method actor hasn't the same approach to the role as a technical actor. I know that SRK is much more a technical actor than Aamir simply because of the way they're working. However that doesn't say anything about their acting quality, just about their mindset how to decide to enact the character.

This poll seems to be just like so many other polls which have only to do with a personal liking of the two actors' performances and aren't interested in a serious discussion... that's why I won't vote.

now who did overacting and who didn't that is personal opinion. his performance in darr and bazigar are still talked about. i have barely heard about those two Aamir movies.

Nope, not everything can be a PERSONAL OPINION.

There is a reason Srk is very well known for his hamming and very visible over acting in a huge majority of his films.

Still being talked about cannot automatically turn a performance soaked in overacting into some great natural acting. Srk did sh!t loads of shallow overacting in both of these films especially in Darr ,any lame man with even a slight understanding of performing art can very well see that.

You barely heard about those films of Aamir won't turn his great performances in those films into unworthy ones, else Govt of India would not have nominated Aamir for the prestigious National Award as best actor in just second release of his career after his debut

And whoever has seen Earth 1947 has nothing to say but has only great appreciation for Aamir's nuanced and utmost natural multi layered portrayal of that dark negative character

we all agree unanimously that HR and Kareena did overacting in MPKDH. but for SRK that is not the case. so it is personal opinion.

SRK's acting in certain movies has left a mark in audience's mind. He is generally praised for his acting. Aamir is mostly known for his script choices and attention to detail.

Of course that's exactly the case with a majority of SRK films where he did unbearable over acting

The only difference is that srk had crazy kind of stans who will never admit this, if they choose to see those overacting loaded performances without any tint of bias the answer is the same, but a huge majority who r not his kuttar stans will talk logic sense and in a fair way and will call bad overacting a bad overacting

SRK is very lucky for being so popular compared to Hrithik and Kareena that even his stinkiest over acting got overlooked mostly by his fans due to his immense superstar aura and THIS IS A FACT whether you like to hear it or not, popularity and getting massively clicked with fans is not equalent to be greatly talented as a natural layered excellent performer.

Aamir is not just known for his script choices but for his utmost natural layered acting as well with a complete understanding of the character, that was the reason he was nominated for National award in his very second release Raakh.

South Asian regions worships stars, not actors, in our region gimmicky acting is understood more than natural layered acting with subtlety and much required nuances.

I am not taking anything away from Srk, this is on his credit to be blessed with special traits and popularity, and I respect him for these blessings and traits, but at the same time cannot give him what he lacks, in majority of his film performances.

I personally find Aamir quite stern in his acting. Its hard to connect to his characters on emotional aspect. SRK does that quite effortlessly.

I guess than we need to agree to disagree

Different strokes for different folks

Unless you’ve acted or studied the craft, I don’t think you’d really catch the technical differences. End of the day, it’s about what feels believable and what we enjoy. I respect Aamir’s love for cinema and how he pushes good stories, but man… aside from Talaash and Dangal, I don’t think I’ve ever liked him in anything. Even in his classics like DCH and RDB, he’s the most annoying part for me. Just not my vibe.

bold parts: Yes, that's what I think, too, because all three ("believable, enjoy, vibe") depend on the own perceptions, feelings and personal experiences.

Even if not having studied the craft there are possibilities to get to know the differences between - e.g. - an actor who prefers method acting and an actor who one would call a technical actor. Knowing how SRK works I know about his approach to the characters he enacts. As for Aamir, I only can deduce out of what I've seen and heard/read in interviews.

Bazigaar was not about romance. it was about revenge. he was using the girls to reach to their father.

That's fine. But they showed the romance between SRK/Kajol and SRK/Shilpa just like hero- heroine and they had romantic songs together. His character was revolving around a lot of romance.

Well, of course it's your personal view and I also go just with my own perception. Moreover, I don't have watched all of Aamir's movies...still, I find it unfair that people focus on the romance-tag for SRK. I think, in many Aamir movies, there also is romance...it's part of the Masala concept.

That's fine. Eventually SRK is considered as the King of Bollywood and known to people world over. He can be versatile, but most of the movies that he did revolve around romance and people loved his movies. That's why we tag him like that.
