Bollywood's Top 20: Superstars of Indian Cinema - Page 2

I would remove Kareena and Kajol from the list and replace them with Sri Devi and Salman

Between Rekha And Waheeda Rehman I'm a bit confused if i should make the replacement.

Rest all seems ok to me. Though the list should be extended to top 25 or 30 to do more justice to stars who CAN be included in the list.

Twenty superstars I know

Dilip Kumar

Dev Anand

Rajendra Kumar

Rajesh Khanna

Dharmendra

Amitabh Bachchan

Sunny Deol

SRK

Hrithik Roshan

Aamir Khan

Salman Khan

Vyjantimala

Waheeda Rehman

Nutan

Meena Kumari

Sadhna

Rekha

Hema Malini

Sridevi

Madhuri Dixit

Who da fcuk writes down a list in the form of a paragraph? That too two? Ain’t nobody got time for that

I think the book had been written without even looking at the careers of the respective stars. The best way of selection would be to take into account those stars who have been able to reach the top and rule the industry.

Among male stars, Rajendra Kumar should be included. Rajendra Kumar - Sunil Dutt - Shammi Kapoor were the trio of the 1960's. Among them, Rajendra Kumar was the top star. Post Dilip Kumar - Raj Kapoor - Dev Anand period and pre - Rajesh Khanna saga, it was Rajendra Kumar ' The Jubilee Kumar ' who was the biggest, top most and most popular Superstar.

Also, this forum seems to have very less to no idea about Suraiya. I would suggest you do some research about her. Suraiya was rightly included and deserves to be included because in the post - independence era, she was the ' STAR' , above all her contemporaries, be it male or female. She was a rage and had huge crazy fan following.

But I am happy that stars from the pre - independence era have been taken into account. Nowadays, youngsters have no idea about them, but still try to judge their stardom during their prime days. But if that era had been considered, Noor Jehan, who was the top female star as well the top female singer in the 1940's pre - partition, should have been taken into account. She was a singing sensation and a craze. One thing I didn't like about her that she left for pakistan after partition leaving Bombay where she got fame.

If I was given the opportunity to publish a book on this subject, I would choose:

Female Actresses: Madhubala, Meena Kumari, Nutan, Vyjayanthimala, Hema Malini, Rekha, Sridevi, Madhuri Dixit, Kajol, Aishwarya Rai

Male Actresses: Dilip Kumar, Raj Kapoor, Dev Anand, Shammi Kapoor, Rajesh Khanna, Amitabh Bachchan, Aamir Khan, Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, Hrithik Roshan

This is exactly what the list should have looked like...

I recall They didn’t include Salman and claimed it’s cause his films aren’t remembered.

Well I never heard of anything KL Saigal started in let alone who he is did but I do Know Salmans films. That criteria is out the window then 😂

This makes zero sense lol... how many memorable films was Kajol in besides the YRF/Dharma movies with SRK?

This list seems super biased towards that whole camp tbh...

Kareena deserves to be in the List

Ashok Kumar was the first super star of Indian cinema.
