All other actors learn acting by watching his movies. He can do full justic to any role. He is the God of Indian cinema. Nobody can even be compared with him. Even rajniknat said " if i am the king he is the emporer" for Amitabh. Amitabh does not belong here. Rediff remove his name or go to hell.

BiG P ig is a biggest looser nowadays. No doubt he is over rated, nothing great in his actings. He should retire immediately along with his his son who is good for nothing.

What about chini kum? What about black? what about nishabd? He is one actor that is giving the younger ones a run for their money.
But I think rediff missed some other important names. Big B has done something and he should not be in this list. What is Rajni's role in Bollywood, just a handful of films and why rediff has included him in Bollywood I dont know.
i think in bollywood almost all r over-rated for a simple reason that bollywood is all about glamour exposure & hardly no one has acting skills. For acting skills they have to come down south & learn some basics fm kamal, mohanlal, vikram,etc. Just look at mohanlal he did one cameo in movie Company & took away Film Fare best supporting role. Imagine if all south indian come to north & act in some meaningful movies of bollywood, north indian actors wud be jobless.

My dear friends you all south indian actors once came to bollywood to make their career. They were rejected in whole India so they prefer to stay in their small south indian cinema.
Don't forget Rajni, Kamal, Cheeranjivi, Nagarjuna, everyone acted in hindi movies one or other time and their movie didn't work well. If you name company of mohanlal then you should name Aag also. Compare Sanjeev Kumar's role of Thakur with Mohanlal's in Aag. You will understand......."baap baap hota hai aur beta beta"
Its well know that south indian doesn't like hindi as a languages and your dislike of bollywood movie is just your unsuccessful effort to show south indian language and culture is superior.

MR. gohel
South indian cinema has the greates talents and thy all have been to international film festivals and have been heralded.
A jury member of the toronto film festival comes to india and chooses films to be screened in their festival. Whn he came to india, he did an interview and he stated tht bollywood and south indian films ar miles apart.
While bollywood lives on those good musicals w/love stories,family dramas, lavish sets (fantasy world). He stated south indian cinema as being very real and portraying the real india, in all genres and diffrnt subjects.
South indian language and culture ws never superior and no one stated tht, since its part of india.
We ar talking about bollywood and tht movie is diffrnt. from even rest of india, so if bollywood cannot be successful thn bengali cinema. You should know this, thn how do you expect bollywood to be a success against south indian cinema.
So don't be treated like an idiot from bollywood and stay behind those designer wears and, "cinema is abt entertainmnt and felling good aftr a long days work" crap ideology tht bollywood produces.

Wrong mr. gohel
South indian movie make their movies faster thn hindi movies those days. All bollywood films hav started to remake south indian movies, and even directors got to work in bollywood.
So if the south indian directors presumly from malayalam and tamil cinema got an opportunity to make films ther, thn obviously south indian actors follow the directors and see wht they can do in their movies.
But, bollywood never attempted to recognize south indian actors in those days so don't assume tht these actors left b.c they did not gt recgonize. Whatever chance they got w.hindi directors, they worked in their films, now if hindi directors always think of rishi kapoor,big b, and other kapoors and khans instead of south indian directors, its only their ignorance tht lead the south indian actors to walk away.
Anyways, see south indian actors tht acted in hindi cinema i.e kamal hassan, rajinikanth,mohanlal in their own films and you'll see tht their films in the south ar much better thn hindi films, and thts why the prefer to work w/talented directors in the south.
Especially kamal hassan and mohanlal. Both of them got national awards for their acting, and their films in malayalam and tamil got the most national awards thn all the kapoors, bachans,kumars, and khans.
Mohanlal in aag ws ram gopal varma's fault, you can't hate mohanlal b.c the public hated ramu for remkaing a classic in the first place. So take your baap and beta philosophy out on ramu's head.
SRK "IS" the most overrated actor. He just does same kind of mushy mushy acting. He can't give do proper action. And comedy? I don't remember SRK doing a good comedy movie. He is not versatile actor.
I am glad about this perfect verdict. I just hope AB was not there. He is a legendary one who has done every kind of role possible.
Even though i agree with most of the actors as over rated including SRK, Salman, Aish. But i dont agree with Amitabh and Ajay. Ajay, you can call as under rated and not over rated. Amitabh truely deserves the hype.
But even though SRK and Rajinikanth are over rated, they are the most loved stars.
the people at rediff seem to have lost their mental balance. they have placed some of the best actors of bollywood such as Big B, SRK, Rani, Aish in the list. Rajni is not from Bollywood but he is one of the most lovable actors. the rediff guys have gone nuts.

if thats the caes how do u justify his winning all the awards.....plz dont tell me that he buys them or that the jury is biased

Since whn filmfare awards and other numerous bollywood awards each year ar CREDIBLE. Of course, jury is biased and no one knows wthr the actors buy awards, but half of the people including aamir khan knows these "bollywood" awards ar all biased.
SRK winning awards for all his romantic films and thn his "new age" films, so this makes rajinikanth getting awards for his action stunts tht people love him for very believable in getting all the awards instead of a kamal hassan,vikram,ajith, surya.

i agree maxx. He is absolutely right. See om shanti om and main hoon na, u will get to know.
Only Shahrukh, he is over rated by faltu all indian news channels. Most of the people doesn't like his acting. Amitabh's name should not be come in this list. He is only greatest actor in INDIA. Rajni Doesn't belong to Bollywood. WRITER OF THIS ARTICLE IS FOOOOOOOOOL.
