Shahrukh - underrated?

Lol & I ve always felt that SRK is overrated .. & still do

this topic isn't that odd actually.. i think clodpolish meant that the critics look at him as a star and don't take him seriously as an actor? imo he is very versatile.. dunno what the hell aamir is on abt with his shahrukh does the same type of films.. just coz the media pairs srk and yash raj a lot doesnt mean that he does the same romantic stories.. i guess it's just that aamir can't create waves like ddlj 😊

overrated in exactly what?

I think the only person who has underrated Shahrukh, is probably Shahrukh himself. Barring a few unconventional roles where he has showcased his acting skills, he has chosen mostly the chocolate romance roles. The thing about Shahrukh is his success is not in acting. He is not a polished actor like Aamir Khan. He is not a looker like Salman, Hrithik or the other hunks.

What makes Shahrukh such a phenomenon lies completely in his personality. Unlike other actors and actresses who portray roles and characters - Shahrukh plays dreams. He understands and connects with his audiences, and empathizes with them - he presents to them something they can connect with.

Aamir is a fantabulous actor and yes some of his films move you. But Aamir has never made me feel dizzy or that I am literally melting. Very rarely have I walked out an Aamir film feeling dreamy, wanting to fall in love. Shahrukh does that. He colonizes the dreams in the hearts of people and brings them to life.

A few years ago, Shahrukh had stated in an interview that he is not an actor but a commodity - a brand - a product that caters to the demands of the people.

Shahrukh completely deserves every bit of hype he receives for he has achieved these heights through his personality, self promotion and understanding of audiences - no star has catered to the audience like him - otherwise he honestly he is no quality star material. He is underrated in the sense that in the hype he receives - his intellect and potential as an actor are unnoticed.
