Most over-rated actors in Bollywood

Some actors are stars, but are all stars actors? There are a few; the likes of Naseeruddin Shah, Vinay Pathak, Paresh Rawal, Pankaj Kapur who are brilliant actors, but are often restricted to small roles in big films or big roles in small films. Either way they do not get the recognition they truly deserve and are completely ignored at most annual award ceremonies.

On the other hand, Bollywood has a number of superstars, who command a huge fan-following spreading to different parts of the world. But do these stars deserve all the money, fame and not to mention awards, that is a part of super-stardom? Or are they unnecessarily over-hyped? Post your comments below

Here is the list of some of the Top Actors in Bollywood (in no particular order) vote for those who you think are most over-rated. (YOU CAN SELECT UPTO 3 ACTORS FROM THE LIST BELOW)

Note: Most overrated Actress poll will be up tomorrow

  • what a joke ??? srklover says that AKKI is moderate in comedy…weak to moderate in romance.
    If AKKI is moderate in comedy than i think all the other actors including SRK cant do comedy at all . AKKI is excellent in comedy
    As far as romance, he hasnt done many romantic movies but u can always watch namastey london and humko deewana kar gaye to knw that he is good in romance as well .

    Howevr for SRK he sucks in action big time , he shd stop doing comedy as well , he shd stick to only romantic and serious roles.

    Aamir no doubt can do everythink Like AKKI. so these are the most versatile and talented actors of Bollywood ofcourse after BIG B

  • fathiya u dumbass… how can imran need 10 years to be at elast a star when he gets huge openings for all his 3 movies so far ??? that’s a sign of stardom to put butts on seats instead of having no shows like hurman bawejas !!!

    imran as an actor has many plenty time to improve… he was fantastic in jaane tu … then he went out of his comfort zone … he will smash it in aamir’s delhi belly !!!

    so don’t mix acting with stardom dumbass !!!

  • Thanks all..You guys are gr8… really heartening to see one vouching for another.. irrespective of religion, cast creed.. guess however bad bollywood is .. it still has achieved one thing and that is unity and secularism.. way to go .. btw all of the so called superstars are over rated.. haha

  • Ok ppl reality check- The kings of bollywood are mithun and amitabh bachchan with the retired old dharmendra. All these others are cubs, kids who cant match the presence of these big legends, although the films amitabh has been making these last few yrs some1 needs to give him a slap. Out of them abhishek is the most overrated as well as akshay kumar who is just a buffoon who could have been a better action star with the right direction, but had to be a buffoon with soo many flops under big budget flicks. Abhishek shouldnt be here. Saif to be fair has talent and is not a huge star so is not overrated. Shah rukh khan is overrated however is talented and was a fresh breeze in the mid 90’z however from 2000 he got too repetitive with the same acting in all his roles (except that women hockey movie in which he was different, and good). Hrithik roshan has all the ammunition to be a superstar, aamir khan makes the best films, salman khan has his own charm but has no special talent.

  • without a doubt shahrukh khan is the best and aamir khan is most overrated! king khan make films , we in the UK loves you!

  • Hey guys this is the truth….
    SRK is the best romantic hero n one of th most versatile we have.
    th positive about Aamir is that he does lots of Ground work on th story n makes them hit as theres only one film relesin every year n tht too in december only.u cant expect expressions or a true acting from him.
    think of Aamir doin Veer Zara….it would have been bulshit.
    guys if SRK is workin under big banner so wht….r they acting????…they r only promoting n marketing, its th actor who acts n its SRK…..wit invaluable expressions…..
    he works under big banner cause no one else can pay him that amount.
    Films with India as subject
    SRK-Swades n Chak de–Mega mega hits.
    Aamir-Mangal Pandey–he himself dosent know tht th film has released or not…

    now u only decide….
    n last thing for god sake pls don’t call Salman as actor itself….his voice n body language sucks.

  • Wonder how SRK , Hrithik and Amitabh could be even listed here. Even more disappointing is that they have even been voted. SRK has given 3 performances in MNIK , Swades and Chakde INDIA which are the undoubtedly the best ever in bollywood and many more like DON, Veer Zaara, Devdas , Mohabbatein ,DDLJ AND a special one in KAbhi HAAN Kabhi Naa . HR with koi mil gaya ,gujaarish and jodha akbar and Amitabh with Paa , Black and Agneepath . All of them are perfect for character roles . All of them can be great as comman men as well as larger than life heroes. They are intense, charismatic, high on emotional quotient and even change their body language , speech style and mannerism and all three are underrated when they feature in such list.

  • Without the Yash Raj-Dharma Productions association, Shah Rukh Khan has the following hits :

    Pardes (1997)
    Devdas (2002)
    Don (2006)

    Final verdict : Over-rated

    Without the influence of his father, Hrithik Roshan has the following hits:

    Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham (2001) – not strictly his film because of multi starrer factor
    Dhoom 2 (2006)
    Jodha Akbar (2008)

    Final verdict : Over-rated

    Without the influence of his father, Abhishek Bachchan has the following hits:

    Guru (2007)
    Dostana (2008)

    Final verdict : Over-rated

  • fathiya:

    he had no hits in 1996, 1998, 2005…the last number one with a total dominance was amitabh bachchan….from 1975-1988

  • @Santhosh: You’re the biggest idiot! Aamir has better body language and priceless expressions than SRK, his acting is so natural and he doesn’t overact like SRK who does it in almost every movie. Onlly Swades and CDI are nothing compared to lot of hamming and overacting in DDLJ, DTPH, KKHH, Mohabbatein, K3G, Devdas, KHNH, Veer-Zaara, Main Hoon Na, Don, KANK, OSO, RNBDJ, Billu and MNIK.
    Did you watch 1947 Earth? This is what i call real expressions, a powerful and natural villianous act. Did you watch sarfarosh? Did SRK act a role of a cop? and that too with perfection like Aamir? His Sarfarosh was 1000 times better than SRK’s Main Hoon Naa and One Two ka Four, his acting in 1947 Earth was miles ahead of that of Darr, Baazigar and Anjaam. His power package performance in Rangeela was way better than that fake and plastic non-performance of SRK in Josh.
    Aamir can do romantic roles of course, watch his natural performance in QSQT, Dil…and about comedy SRK sucks at it he can NEVER act in a comedy role while Aamir has a great comic timing, (watch AAA and most recently 3I).
    SRK has never given performances like: QSQT, JJWS, AAA, Rangeela, AHAT, Ghulam, Sarfarosh, Earth, Lagaan, DCH and RDB. Apart from: Darr, Baazigar, KHKN, Swades and CDI he has no other credible performance. So SRK’s fans stop talking about Aamir who is miles ahead of SRK anyday.

  • This poll has not right rating.because many people gives his vote for his favourite actor and otherside some people gives vote for wrost actor.so i can’t belives this ranking.plz don’t mind but this is fact.

  • SRK is not bcoz of YRF or Dharma but actually YRF is bcoz of SRK , YRF has never given a flop with SRK. There was a time when chak de was the only hit of 2007 from yrf and rab ne was the only in 2008 by them.
    even aamir gave flop parampara directed by yash chopra , Akshay(tashan) , Big B(silsila) was average at BO and many more but gave blockbusters when SRK acted in their movies.

  • Most Overrated Actors in my opinion
    1 – Ranbir Kapoor – HE does not even move his eyebrows. HE doesn’t have a good physique . HIS Dance is only average.This guy can’t act man and doesn’t deserver to be a hero , let alone be an actor. His eyebrows don’t even move with his limited expressions.
    2 – Imran Khan – Man seriously this just proves how a Khan , Kapoor related to the bollywood khans and kapoors can become a star. WHAT IS THERE IN HIM ? GUY CAN’T ACT , CAN’T DANCE , IS SKINNY , GOING BALD FFS. And he is getting roles opposite A class heroines like Kareena and Katrina. What the hell ? … Because of him , truly talented people like Shahid Kapoor and Ranveer Singh are struggling.
    3 – Abhishek Bachchan – Why doesn’t he quit acting ? He is not even 0.01% of the actor his father was. Hasn’t given a single hit movie except Guru..Why does he simply not quit ? Harman Baweja is better than him , at least he can dance.

  • Forward five years later…………

    Salman, Srk, Aamir continue to rule bollywood

    Hrithik and Ranbir having become bigger superstars. And are prob the biggest, other than the khans, esp hrithik

    Abhishiek Bachan is only seen in multistarrers…….as nobody goes to see his solo lead pictures.

    Imran Khan’s career has hit a major career slump. Five years ago we compared this guy with ranbir kapoor, now look.

    John’s career is going nowhere

    Farhan has finally become a star, proving his mettle as an actor.

    Akshay and Saif are slowly losing their core audience, lack of blockbusters.

    Shahid is finally making good choices.

    Emraan is still stereotyped
