When did you feel an actor was struggling? - Page 2

Alia in Kalank (she completely lacked the grace in front of Madhuri and Sonakshi)

Ranbir in Sanju (he made it into a caricature, without catching the nerve of the character)

Hrithik in Super 30 (he did a lot of training and hard work but that accent just wasnt there...... Pankaj Tripathi wouldve been fit for that role but unfortunately he wouldnt have gotten the audience that Hrithik did)

Zayed Khan in mein hoon na. In the emotional scene where he looking into the sky and talking to dead Naseruddin shah..(he was his son in the movie😆) you could see him genuinely struggling to deliver a dialogue.

Salman Khan in his many movies but in Baghban, he was very bad though it was just a cameo but still he tried so badly and couldn't make it) especially when he says Babuji, it looked so OTT.

Almost every actor today, their dance, expression, they way they speak. Too many practice and it shows

Unfortunate, but so true! Especially after you have seen someone like Sridevi in English Vinglish, that silent no-dialogue acting through the eyes. The way she can change expressions within a scene and still make you connect (without needing jarring background score like Ekta or Kjo tend to use for their tv/movie actors). Or even Amitabh Bachchan in Sholay, he was so good even in the silent scenes when someone else was in the spotlight. You must be really good if you can stand out despite some other amazing actors in the same frame. The way they say their lines...

Most actors if you notice closely have only one expression in 1 scene. They end up doing a second scene, just carrying that second expression throughout. That's usually one of the first things that catches my eye. The second is their body language, most of them carry themselves the same way in each movie...these days, the only body language you see in actors is the 'look at my six packs/sexy body after I put in 2 months of efforts at the gym'.

Very rare to see an actor to actually adopt a character in their movie, like Kangana did in TWMR, her Tanu character was a bit too loud, jarring in dialogue delivery for my taste, but Dattoo was pitch perfect. But then dialogue delivery and voice modulation for most actors is just so bad.

I kinda blame KJo and Ekta for this new trend of actors who are so inpalatable. If you see SRK in Baazigar, he was so good.

i kinda enjoy watching his movies. 😆

I did like him in some movies like Khoobsurat etc

But in general, he could never justify his character of being charming/rich playboy etc.. he looked like a "langoor" to me no offence, even more so when he was paired among such sweet and beautiful actresses who could really act. Also, its not just about the looks.. apart from few movies, I never found his acting convincing.

My old crush Ali Zafar.. he struggled in all the movies except tere bin laden and kill dil, MBKD.

Other all movie he brought second hand embarrassment to me , as I really liked him and wanted him to do better.

Alia in kalank. Not het cup of tea. Mujhe to samjh me nahi aa raha tha k iska character chahta kya hai.

Ranbir in Roy.

Katrina in baar baar Dekho.

Siddharth malhotra in baar baar Dekho

Shahrukh in happy new year. He was trying so hard to look convincing to his character.

Amir in dhoom 3 , specially in that dancing scene of dhoom one. But more than him Abhishek and uday in dhoom 3.

yeah you do have valid points there. hmmm, maybe it was the type of movies that he did that i liked.

Deepika in Chappak/Padmavat/ Bajirao

Alia in Kalank

Shahrukh in HNY..Anushka in zero

Most recent 2nd hand embarrassement moment i felt was with sradha in Milegi milegi and ek aank maroon toh...she was trying hard to give some expressions n it came across as very awkward to me.

Sidharth malbotra in SOTY..especially since i was rooting for abhimanyu in the movie..that massage scene on the beach..his expressions n moaning..embarrassing🤢

Forgot to mention-Alia bhatt whenever she tries to look sexy..
