How is Saif still surviving in the industry? - Page 8

No, sir/madam. I didn't. The OP's comparison was between Saif and Hrithik, and even someone like me who enjoys watching Hrithik will admit Saif is several magnitudes better in acting.

That is the only comparison I made until your response about BB2 and Pankaj Tripathi.

As for Saif's acting skills: the fact you needed to go to Tripathi's level to paint Saif in a less than flattering light itself says volumes.

Saif is at Hrithik's level or just better. Comparitively he has better script sense than Hrithik and work with best directors out there.

If not overhyping him like you are doing here is seen as painting him then good for you.

Langada Tiagi says hello; he stole the show in Tanhaji. And audiences enjoyed Saif in bhoot police. Script matters.

You can't use movies that audiences and critics disliked from the foundation of the script itself to paint someone out to be deficient. No, Saif is naturally not comfortable with very "desi" roles but with a good script and director, he flies.

Saif's "Wow'" and "Ole Ole' days are out there.Akshay,Sunil used to overshadow him.

Once again, when you have to reach all the way back to the beginning of Saif's career or reaching all the way up to Pankaj who is probably the finest actor from the Hindi belt, to compare Saif with it speaks volumes.

See, it's like the Oscars. 😆You have 5 nominees, and one of them will be better than the rest, but getting to that level shows the actor's capability.

Saif was praised by audiences in Bhoot Police; so that's one out; which leaves you with something as ridiculous as Humshakaks (a frikkin Sajid khan movie), BB (film with low ratings from critics and audiences and nobody performing well), and bullet Raja.

Vishal Bharadwaj tax.He could make begum and Modi imposter Oberoi bearable,Saif is better than those two.

Convenient to leave our TanhaJi where he overshadowed Ajay. And again; audiences appreciates Saif in Bhoot Police. It was an OTT release but You can check out the feedback on Twitter, insta, etc

He doesn;t look as old as SRK, thus surviving.

Technically more like 1995-2007/08.. OSO was his last hurrah.. 😊

Well technically I was taking Chak De, Chennai Express & HNY as the last hurrahs- since we were counting all of Amit ji's last gasp films in the 90s as evidence of his continuing numero uno status.

But whatever makes everyone happy. My original point though still stands: SRK was quite clearly no 1 in his prime just as AB Sr was no 1 in his heyday. To state otherwise is an attempt at rewriting history.

A poor imitation of Ranveer's Khilji.
