i agree with your parents..it seems like he is forever trying to talk in hushed tones..

Like a poster above mentioned..he cant hit a few tones..and if that is the case, no amount of working on it will help him improve.

Its so obvious that it distracts from the character and his acting

there is tamil actor ...when his second film released almost all review said he is doing decent job as actor but his voice is the prob

he had similar prob like rajat especially when he tries to shout ...but i don't what that actor did...when i watched his recent movie...his voice was better(his own voice...no dubbing)...
people who does mimicry gets different voice only by practice

i guess its just matter of practice

but for now his voice is not creating impact needed for CGM

He was kind of struggling there...

I loved RT as Jalal primarily because of his voice. Hushed. Sexy. Mystic. Angelic. Demonic. Everything together. But he was suave, arrogant, manipulative, charming as Jalal so the voice suited him.

I am a very big fan of Rajat... I love love love his acting skill... I would go to the very extent and say that I have not found any other actor who could act like Rajat at least on the TV screen. But I do agree sometimes, let's say in a rare case... very few scenes I feel his voice is not up to the mark... but dub voice is not the solution just for few scenes that will ruin the scene. Viewers will immediately find differentiate in the dubbing voice.

I guess his voice has never bothered me because I am watching him since Prithvi Raj...and following him since then for long, so I am very much used to the tone of his voice. I do not think in this particular war scene his voice tone was bad, he excelled the scene as per my view. I loved the scene and his tone both. I only have a problem when he speaks too fast without taking a pause.

This reminds me of a similar criticism - that time that Rajat's Jalal was stiff in his demeanour - made in the early days of Jodha Akbar in June 2013. It was only when I pointed out, in a post specially requested by young Disha, that the great Dilip Kumar had the same stance in Mughal-e-Azam, that the carping ceased.

As for this sequence, here is a general, not equipped with a megaphone, having to make himself heard by his soldiers amidst the din of the battlefield. He naturally has to yell at the top of his voice. And they use sync sound. So how could poor Rajat's voice be anything but hoarse?

Still, one could make out every single word, which is not always the case with him, or with Padmanand and several others during the usual indoor scenes.

I am no one's fan, and I am too old to drool over a handsome young man. But I have watched a lot of both Indian and international cinema and TV. Going by my experience with these, Rajat is, to my mind, a very competent, indeed very good actor all the time, and an exceptional one from time to time. In particular, he is a master of nuance.

And after seeing the kind of performances that seem to thrive in Hindi TV, this conviction of mine has only been strengthened. Has anyone found an Amitabh Bachchan or a Dilip Kumar in Hindi TV, perhaps, against whom Rajat is found so wanting? I at least have not seen any. The place is, especially when it comes to male actors, crowded with mediocrities who play supporting roles while the female leads dominate the show. No wonder, then, that anything goes for male TV actors.

Perhaps someone from here was around in the 4th century BC and has heard Chandragupta Maurya speak, to be able to say with such confidence that Rajat's voice is not heavy enough for the role? 😉

Chandragupta might well have had a high, squeaky voice. What then? That would not have made him any the less of a matchless warrior and a great emperor. Ashoka was not supposed to be at all goodlooking, and no one knows anything about his voice, but he was still one of the greatest rulers the world has ever known.

Why does an emperor always have to have an Amitabh style baritone? I do not know what you young folk would have made of Dilip Kumar's super slow delivery and Prithviraj Kapoor's ultra heavy, hoarse, almost incomprehensible Urdu in Mughal-e-Azam. Still, that was and is a classic film with classic performances.

I can understand where you come from. His voice is not heavy for CGM. But as I am used to it. I love it. XD

Sorry to say...but I don't like Rajat as Chandra Gupta..Ekta should cast another actor for this role..He's too short and his voice too husky for an actor..the show will be completely different if Rajat isn't the lead..Sorry..
