Did Hrithik deserve to win a Filmfare for Dhoom 2 over Shahrukh?

I never understood how he won a Filmfare for this movie, let alone was nominated. IMO SRK should have won for either KANK or Don and it shocks me that Hrithik was awarded over him for playing an action hero whose only nuance comes from showing off his abs.

No wonder SRK changed his figure for Om Shanti Om, thinking if he did the same he could win another Filmfare automatically.

Dhoom 2 was crap and nobody deserved any awards for it.

Best performance that year was from Aamir in Rang De Basanti but he got the Best Actor critics award. 

So maybe Sanjay Dutt should've won Best actor popular award since Lage Raho Munna Bhai was also a Blockbuster like Dhoom 2, and Dutt obviously gave a better performance than Hrithik in Dhoom 2 and Krrish.

SRK in Don got mixed response and he did his usual hamming in KANK. But yeah, that was also better than Hrithik in Krrish or Dhoom 2. 

What I found interesting is Hrithik despite playing a "villain" role got a nomination and won for "Best Actor" That year, they actually had a category for "best villain." 

Must've felt like a slap on AB Jr's face 😕

Because Hrithik didn't play the villain. He was the hero of the film, main protagonist. 

Unlike Dhoom 1 where John was the villain. As his role was much shorter than Abhishek and Uday but he still stole the show. 

They couldn't bring John back for the sequel because he died in the first part.

So they brought Hrithik in his place and increased his role because of he being a Superstar, which relegated AB Jr to a 2nd lead and Uday Chopra to a supporting role status.

AB Jr's role in Dhoom 2 wasn't small enough to call him a villain. He was more of an antagonist. Someone who is against the hero (Hrithik) but for valid reasons. 

Ajay in Omkara, Aamir in Rang de basanti , Sanju in LRMB were better than both Hrithik and SRK but those days awards were given on most popular character not best performance so it's fine.

Yup he deserved it, not sure why people think all he did was action.

There were emotional scenes and his body language was superb.
