Where is Amitabh?
by Murli on Jun 12, 2008 05:02 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

The man who ruled the roost for past 40 years...won Doctorate awards from british governemnt, Legion award from france, Highest civilian awards from Morocco,France, Jordan, and Middle east, Afghanistan, Iran, South Africa, and who holds three doctorate awards for his contribution to the world of Cinema, who in such old age still commands the highest number of fan following and much mroe than the combined number of fan following of hollywood stars ...who has been declared as the Star of Millenium by BBC, whose movie at any given time around the world 3 crores of people watch in a day ... an illusterious acting carrier of more than 150 movies with most different characters played which none of the acotrs in the earth has dared to play, who won first national award for his first ever screen performance for his debut Saath hindustani...
this list thereafter looks like the rolled paper which is used in the rest rooms in Western Countries!

One this which came out of this list is that for Americans, world starts at West Coast in LA and ends in East Coast in Miami. Rest is all 2nd world or 3rd world.

Obviously, you do not watch anything other than Hindi films, so you are excused for rating an overacting mediocre actor as no. 1. In the world!! Forget it, he's not no. 1 even in India, where Kamalahasan, for example, is a far superior and versatile actor. (And, I am not a Tamilian, not even from south.)

Coming to the Forbes ranking, it is based on pay, web hits, press mentions and TV mentions, and all these are counted largely only in terms of the USA and generally the Western world.

Please realise that for Americans, the world ends at America, like Hindi movies is the end of world cinema for you.

Don't take these rankings very seriously!!

Harish, I prefer to belong to the discerning and well-informed minority rather than the majority with a sheep mentality.

Mr Bachchan too, just like you, ran away from the responsibility of developing and improving public taste; he never acted in good films.

Instead, he chose to align with the existing (cheap) public taste, and degraded it further by acting in roles where he would always act big and take law in his hands. Remember something like "Wherever I stand, that's where the queue starts'? Spreading lawlessness, nothing less! You call such persons great?!

This list is all about America and Americans. Its Top 10 celebreties in US and not in the world. India have more popolation than US. People in India watch more movies then in US. Bollywood actors like Amitabh and Rajnikanth are like gods in India. Dont tell me that they dont even fit in this list of 100.
