What are some unpopular bollywood opinions you hold? - Page 9

If acting cannot be assessed, why do we have so many movie critics and media mouthpieces praising only one or two nepo actors to the hilt for their "acting" skills, over and over again, and trying to pass them off as the best thing to happen after sliced bread? Where is the subjectivity there and why aren't they letting people decide who the "best" actors are instead of making that decision for the audience with their constant buzz? Isn't it a bit too much of a coincidence that all the top critics have the SAME thing to say without any difference in opinion? If that's not brainwashing and agenda driven PR, I don't know what is.

We all have our own brains that can form our own opinions

There is no rule that we have to give in to the brainwashing ..

Critics and media mouth pieces voice their own personal opinions, or echo public opinion (polls etc), or voice box office facts or numbers …even if they do get paid to say certain things or they are rigged, surely we all have our own brains to believe and do what we want to and see through the farce

An actor becomes “successful” when the majority of the audience (critics are a part of the audience) likes him/her

And u can’t force an entire population to like somebody they actually don’t …

- Deepika Padukone is overrated; she is not good-looking and isn't even a good actress.

- Ranbir's best chemistry was with Konkona Sen Sharma

- Katrina is an okay dancer. She can shake her assets and that's it. Rani and Priyanka are better dancers than her.

- Juhi Chawla has a prettier smile than Madhuri and is a better actress too.

- Juhi-SRK have better chemistry than SRK-Kajol.

- Hrithik is a great dancer but he lacks versatility. Same is the case with Tiger. Shahid, Varun are better dancers. A lot of South Indian actors are even better dancers.

- Rajkummar Rao is a good dancer.

- Amaal Malik has a nicer voice than Armaan Malik.

- Mohammed Irfan is a better singer than Arijit Singh.

- Vidya is a great actress but is boring. She has no charisma or screen presence.

- Emraan Hashmi is underrated. He is a very talented actor.

- Kangana is an okay actress. Her dialogue delivery sucks.

- Vivek Oberoi is an excellent actor. His potential was wasted.

- Salman khan sucks (at being an actor, writer/lyricist, singer, host and being a human being).

We don't have to give in to the brainwashing but you know what they say, if you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.

The problem isn't that they were born with silver spoons in their mouths. There are thousands if not millions of rich people in the world but people don't give them the stink eye just for being rich and having the means to attain their end goals. It's the contrived and obvious gameplan nepo kids and their God fathers employ to manufacture their stardom from scratch. A half-decent performance means a STAR is BORN when someone else would have to work ten times harder to get half as far. And then try to pass off the output as a result of their unparalleled "talent" and "acting skills" ... God, they make me cringe. Talk about insulting people's intelligence.

Some of my unpopular opinions:-

1. Priyanka overshadowed both Deepika and Ranveer in BM.She was brilliant even in her supporting role as compared to the leads.

2. Speaking of Deepika, I find her overrated af. She is a mediocre actress and I don't understand the hype about her. Sure she is better than some of the actresses these days, but she is more of an "andho me kana raja" types.There I said it 😆

3.Nepotism exists in Bollywood but it exists almost everywhere.Sure it's kinda unfair at some level, as in outsiders have to struggle more, but at the end of the day it's your talent and hard work only which takes you forward and makes you successful, and we have seen a lot of examples in Bollywood.

4.Rani is a better actress than Kajol.

6.Hrithik and Aishwarya are overrated in terms of looks. Sure they are talented and good looking as well,in fact Hrithik is a brilliant actor, but I don't understand this greek god/goddess hype about them. I have seen many better looking people than them irl.

7.DDLJ, KHNH, KKHH, HAHK etc all classics are trash movies.Sure I enjoyed them at some point of time, but now I find them cringeworthy af.

8. Arjun Kapoor is not a bad actor. I don't understand the hatred for him, sure there can be different opinions, but honestly I have never found him that bad in his roles, may be he chooses really poor scripts.

9.Ananya is not a bad actress as well, sure there is a lot of scope for improvement but she is still relatively new so.In fact she was better than Tara in her debut role, but gets all the bashing due to this "nepotism" thing.

10. I am not sure if this one is unpopular but Ranbir Kapoor is a brilliant artist. He has come a long way since his debut role. I find him very talented and versatile. He is as good as Ranveer if not more or less.

11. Not all art movies are good, that's why many get flopped. Sure they can be more rich in creativity, story-telling and all but at the end of the day it's the entertainment factor that works/clicks the most with the audience.

12.Imtiaz Ali is overrated.I find his movies average.

13. In "Love Aajkal 2" the other girl Aarushi completely overshadowed Sara Ali Khan, in fact Sara was quite horrible in her role!

14. Ileana D'Cruz and Katrina Kaif are not good actresses. I see them in the same league as Jacqueline, Shraddha etc. pretty but lacking any real acting skills.

15. Saif Ali Khan is a very good actor, in fact better than a lot of his contemporaries.

16. Bhai can act. He has given a lot of good performances in his career span and I think he is one of the few actors who emote well with their eyes. He is a brilliant TV host as well, very natural and spontaneous!

17. Bollywood has stopped making good comedy movies, none is of repeat value!!

18. Salman's best on-screen pairing was with Karisma Kapoor! In fact Karisma is a better actress than Kareena.

19. Sridevi was a good actress but her dialogue delivery sucked big time! Same is with Deepika and Kangana, though the latter was brilliant as a haryanvi girl in TWMR.

20. Tabu is a brilliant and underrated actress, same is with Konkona. In fact I also find Emraan Hashmi, Shahid and Alia very talented as well.

21. Varun Dhawan works hard in his movies, is a pretty decent actor but he just doesn't have that "it" factor in him to be a superstar or something!

22. Pooja Bhatt was such a beautiful actress in her time. She was quite talented also, she looked good with almost all the actors she got paired up with.

P.S Phew that's a whole lot of rant 😆. And these are strictly my mere opinions. No offense to anyone😆

Ranveer Singh is so overrated as an actor.I find his happy go lucky image fake

Same with Alia Bhatt.

People who keep on defending nepotism all the time on social media are either fans of nepokids, or on celebs payroll, or they're themselves nepo products who see it as a personal attack whenever nepotism in Bollywood is called out.

I don’t deny all that is annoying

I’m just saying it’s gonna exist …period …there is nothing we can do to stop people from having favourites or hyping them up

We just have to trust water eventually finding it’s level

At least being jealous motivates people to do something about it or be better in life.😆

Worshipping privileged celebs does nothing good for fanatics unless they are getting paid for it.

BTW I never asked for any blanket ban so you're barking at the wrong tree.
