We are discussing acting and looks here. Not BO.
BO wise Anil was ahead thanks to choosing safe subjects, multi starrers and films with more charismatic and popular heroines like Sridevi, Madhuri or depended on charismatic villains like Amrish.
He also got lucky in a sense that Sanjay was non serious about his career and so was Jackie. Sanjay first lost years due to drugs, later lost years due to jail.
Jackie was never as savvy as Anil who is still PR and media savvy and admitted to bribing Filmfare to get best actor award too.
Anil maybe better in BO but not in looks or style for sure. He was never a pin up guy like Sanjay or Jackie. Jackie was a popular male model before he did films. So no denying credit to Sanjay and Jackie for looks.
Vinod, Dharam had better looks than Amitabh but Amitabh had better BO record. Same way Anil may be having better BO record but in looks, charisma, screen presence, style and sex appeal, hotness, he was never anywhere near Sanjay and Jackie in their prime. He only looks better than them now due to the way he maintained himself. Not in 80s or 90s though.
I remember Preity Zinta saying Sanjay was her crush. I never heard anyone say Anil was their crush.
