Is Big B overrated?

Honestly, I've watched most of his movies (thanks to my mom) and his acting is good no doubt but is it really what people consider to be "the best" ..??

I'm sorry but I disagree....I think Big B is the best out of his generation and actually even today I find him good

BUT I do not understand the way people go absolutely crazy for him...building temples and such....I mean that's a bit too much.... but compared to acting I feel no one can beat Amitabh Bachan

No, not at all. Big B is one of the most talented actor of his time. He is a legend to me. He just has this magic on screen. And his acting is awesome. He is brilliant.

nope...the guy has done everything...and i mean EVERYTHING under the sun as far as acting is concerned....hes done lots of amazing work and is one of the finest actors of the country..

For sure no .He is bollywood legend .

Nope he isnt, at least I dont think so. He is rated highly because he is one of the best bollywood actors I have seen. He has successfully done action, comedy, romance, thrillers, negative roles and what not. He has an amazing screen presence and.although I don tbelong to his generation of  movies, I cannot help but appreciate how charming he is onscreen. I think I started liking old songs because of him. He's a total package. Of course there will be a portion of people who don't feel this way but that doesn't mean he is overrated.😊

No way.... He is not over rated at all.....One guy who totally deserves it....

He's definitely not overrated...yes some fans do go to the extreme for him sometimes, but his talent isn't overrated. He's the only actor capable of making me cry & all emotional with his performance.

thanks to my chachu dearest.. who is a big fan of Big B and has this big collection of his movies.. i had the chance to watch a whole bunch of Bachan movies.. and i actually enjoyed them..

among my favorites are Sholay.. Amar Akbar Anthony & Satte Pe Satta..

I saw only 1-1.5 movies of Dev Anand (God knows how became a hero..) and Manoj Kumar.. i liked his Purab Aur Pachim.. but other than that.. they are pretty yawn worthy.. 🥱

haha I guess I am the only one who thinks so, but thank you for your inputs :)
