Hrithik is a better actor than the Khans (all 3 of them)?

Hrithik is by far a better actor than any of the 3 Khans. The only one who CAN compete with him is Aamir, and that too Aamir only in his intense films. Hrithik has been good to very good in all his films, no matter how mediocre the films were. I think we tend to underestimate Hrithik the actor as we are awed by his looks and aura.


He's a complete package❤️


I think Hrithik's best performances are Koi Mil Gaya, Lakshya, Guzaarish, Kaho Naa Pyaar hai, Fiza and Mission Kashmir. In these films, he's hit the ball out of the park. Koi Mil Gaya is definitely his all-time best.


The only film he was sub-par is MPKDH and Yaadein, to a certain extent. That too in the climax scene of Yaadein when he gets out of the car, the smouldering look on his face is next level.


Hrithik is actually a much better actor than we give him credit for.


Thoughts??

I agree.


Other than MPKDH, he really has not let us down in terms of his performances. That's not to say every performance was flawless... and this is not a comment about the quality/strength of some of the films/scripts. But I certainly believe he's a better actor and all-around talent than the Khans.


I appreciate that he plays age-appropriate roles, generally isn't romancing women twenty years younger, has decent content, and changes up his characters. My only wish is that he'd do more films broadly speaking, especially ones like Fiza, Lakshya, etc. Unfortunately, the Indian box office seems to prefer him doing action.


Other than his performance in 1947 Earth, Aamir has never really wow-d me with his acting. For me, his movies have been carried by the broader story and supporting cast members. I need not say anything about Salman, who phoned it in and stopped trying years ago, and I have never cared for SRK's acting and corresponding tics, Chak De India and Swades notwithstanding.


As for whether Hrithik's a better actor than Khan #4 (Saif), let's ask Kareena for her take on this. 😆

SRK has given only 2 decent performances Chak De and Swades


Aamir only a few...Ghajini, 1947:earth, and Sarfarosh are the ones I can remember


Hrithik has given so many good performances and is definitely a better actor than both of them


Salman doesn't even count

You think it requires acting chops to do a Wanted or Dabaang? You just need swag, and Hrithik has plenty of it.

exactly. Those roles are more about the swag than acting which Hrithik clearly lacks. Hrithik is also great dancer but he can't dance like Shahid in songs like Dathing naach, saree ka fall etc which require certain x factor which Hrithik doesn't have any. There's a reason his offline personality is as boring as watching paint dry.

If you think Hrithik lacks swag you need to watch this ASAP:

I love looking at HR, but a good actor he ain't. Below average at best.


But then, we're talking mainstream Bollywood, where mediocrity/not thoroughly sucking passes for excellence.
