The MPKDH pile-on does get kind of excessive.
Yes, his acting there was highly disappointing. No disagreements. Even Hrithik has owned up to this, saying he "failed terribly." But I appreciate that he was introspective, that he owns up to his flaws and shortcomings, and that he constantly works to improve his performances.
That being said, literally everyone in that cast was absurdly over the top, with the exception of Abhishek, who just seemed like he missed the memo. If you read some past interviews, Hrithik mentioned being baffled at some of Sooraj's guidance, with Sooraj insisting his cast crank things up to 15. At the end of the day, given this problem was not an isolated case, I believe the director deserves the lion-share of blame. That was truly uncharacteristically bad for many cast members.
