What exactly is 'chemistry'? - Page 5

To me, chemistry is about sexual tension... or an unspoken tension that drives 2 people towards each other for a final emotional release... I want you... but I cannot have you...and I'm drawn towards you ...that tension sizzles on screen... sparks fly...It's in our looks...our touches...our voices...it is felt everywhere until ...ahhh!!!! A perfect Example is Hrithik-Ash...To me It seems like if they were not both married, they will totally jump each other...and that "want" but "cannot have " is to me chemistry...Ranbir-Kat...Akshay-Priyanka are other examples...
On the other hand, what is not chemistry is a good camaraderie between 2 actors who are just comfy with each other and people confused that into chemistry: AKA SRK-Kajol...To me they are just 2 buddies who have known each other since their beginning years and work well together...I don't have chemistry with my school body or my BFF...totally boring!!! We crack jokes together...we cry at each others miseries...is that chemistry?...Hell No!!! So anyway, I see plain old friendship on screen with SRK-Kajol, others see chemistry...go figure!!!!

I'm weird but I think sometimes chemistry of two actors has to do with the background music they play...lol if its good music, they'll look good together

Chemistry is so important between two stars. If off screen chemistry is good then equally it shows best on On-screen.

👍🏼 Excellent topic! I think chemistry is the off-screen and on-screen working relationships two actors have. Let's face it, if you don't get along in real life, how will we see that come across in the film? Not just that, both actors should look good together and compliment each other well. And also they must be comfortable together and portray the roles well which a director is trying to convey in his/her film. The perfect example of brilliant chemistry is SRK-Kajol, Hrithik-Aish, and so many others! 😊

Clarck Gable & Vivien Leigh did hate each other to guts - still Rhett Butler & Scarlett O'Hara had an amazing & intense chemistry/equation. A good actor is a good actor. 😆 End of it.

^^I agree with laxility, for 'real' and 'true' actors personal equation should not matter, they should just follow the script and screenplay, as a matter of fact not knowing each other too well can also create 'heat,' however I do think that having an offscreen friendship makes you look very real, or having unspoken feelings for each other in real life can help reel life, I am saying this because Salman does not look at ease with many actresses, and does share the best chemistry with Karisma Kapoor, in Biwi No.1 they looked like a real life couple!

Pulli you're cute and funny 😆😆😆😉

Not getting along or two co-stars hating each other personally doesn't mean that much, infact in some cases it only adds to the sexual tension or romantic inclination as per their role. Sometimes it proves to be conducive
