Abhay Deol
The only natural actors in bollywood. Amitabh hams and is loud in a lot of comic sequences and Kareena tries to dramatize every sequence with over the top "bollywood" acting. She doesn't know the meaning of "subtle" role-play. I can't believe people think she's a good actress.
Bollywood needs an "acting" school and someone needs to teach them that making cringing faces during dramatic sequences doesn't make a good actor. Over the top acting is a trademark in bollywood. Learn how to underplay a character from the likes of Sean Penn, underplay intensity like De niro or Denzel and be natural like Hanks. Which is why Abhay Deol is the best thing happening to Bollywood right now. He's questioning the whole system and I hope he succeeds in changing atleast a bit of it.
these 3 absolutely,utterly and completely agree but i would also add amitabh bachhan, when he did teen patti, he was the perfect south Indian old guy, and him in black( especially the subtelity in the kiss scene) and if u guys have seen the last lear? agreed he does dramatises at times but considering the quantity of his work, i am amazed at the quality he keeps.
Mithun chakraborty: that guy can easily do a fatakesto and another serious , helpless father, can play a historical figure whom a lot of people consider as God, to a comic baffon, to an underworld don.
among the new lot: ranbir kapoor qand anuska sharma,they have it in them and it will get better with time.
someone i would like to see , jaya B, too bad we dont get to see her much, they dont make it like her these days, i just rewatchd dhyani meye( spelling might be wrong) her debut, amazing.
