I am surprised Akshay did not learn the lesson even after seeing how Sanjay Dutt, SRK totally overshadowed the so called good guy in Naam, Khalnayak and Darr. Or how Amitabh's grey character overshadowed the good brother in Deewar. And how Sunil Dutt's angry and bitter character overshadowed the good brother played by Rajendra Kumar in Mother India.
Anyday complex and grey characters with an emotional backstory strike more chord with audience compared to unidimensional goody two shoes characters.
Sunil's character would defeat all plans of Akshay's character even before he reached the scene in that film. He would kill all villains and it is he who first learnt truth of Naseer and truth of who killed Akshay's father.
Akshay has nothing but songs and scenes with Paresh and Raveena. Not even burning flame of revenge in him to avenge his father's death. I am surprised why he always chose goody two shoes characters knowing audience will prefer the other guy over him.
It is no surprise Sunil is remembered more than Akshay for Dhadkan.
Earlier most heroes thought one who gets the girl or is on right side of the law is a hero.
Only when they got repeatedly overshadowed by villains and grey characters and saw the cult status of grey characters online and on TV they realised that playing goody two shoes stickler for rules hero who gets the girl is not the only good deal.
Akshay is a weak hero in it given how he suspects Raveena when he sees her with Sunil and slaps her. Sunil fights with him and calls out his immaturity. Akshay character has not even emotional faith and maturity in Mohra. Unlike Sunil who is shown mature from day one.
