So I was watching Dev D today and remembered how much I liked Abhay Deol back then. He had all the qualities to be a star. He might not have those six packs or eight packs but he had that cute dimpled smile. He might not be a hottie but his elegance and sweet persona is drool worthy.😳
He did a great job in Dev D and I liked him in Socha na tha, Oye Lucky Lucky oye and Ziindagi na milegi dobara. Movies like Chakravyuh and Shanghai talk about how good of an actor he is. I don't know how many of you watched Manorma 60 feet under but I liked that movie.

But after such a good start, he seems to have disappeared from the industry. I know his movies had not been commercially successful barring a few but he always had the potential. The cinema he performed in, was of different league. I wish he had done some commercial movies that have performed. I find him an under rated actor. I miss him onscreen.😭

What do you guys think? Discuss.

his movies were always plot driven. Nobody cares about that. If you make money you survive. Otherwise you are out. Shahid Kapoor being the exception.

Abhay could and can never be a star. He should stick with niche movies with low budget.

well I clearly mentioned that he had the potential to be a star of you read. Nevermind I think with the acting abilities he had, he could be a star though he never acted in movies that were for masses. Bad luck.

Abhay has a really good filmography. He is this gen's Amol Palekar, Farookh Sheikh. The best thing is he tried something new and succeeded. Unlike Shahid he didn't try offbeat films just cos his commercial films failed. Always did the kind of films that set him apart. Looking forward to Happy Bhag Jayegi.
