Without a doubt Aamir Khan whose hype is not matched by performance takes the first prize. Any recent film is an example: the idiotic RDB or the much hyped Fanaa or MPandey. Only his fans can lap up such overrated performances. And if you dig deeper comes a long list of crappy movies like Raja Hindustani etc. This man has neither the physical attributes to be an actor (short, over-aged boyish, soft appearance) nor has he any acquired skills like dancing or fighting which are absolute requirements for our films! Next in line is Big B who is clearly living on past glory and erstwhile performances as angry young man, now angry old man. SRK atleast makes no bones of catering to mainstream cinema. Anil Kapoor too is like SRK although both have done some good work. Of the list provided only Kamal Haasan continues to strive for better performances, although he may not be always entertaining- he is clearly in a league of his own. There are some like Naseer and Manoj who have made the most of their talent, despite clearly lacking mass appeal talents. Rani is clearly not in the same league, crying mummy is not acting. Heroines have been reduced to ornamental pieces now, a far cry from Sridevi/ Rekha days.

I agree w.you a little bit about aamir. But aamir has a little versaitily in terms of doing an earth,mangal pandey, lagaan, TZP. In all these movies he's managed to become the character and we're not seeing the short,over-aged boyish,soft appearance in some of his recent roles excludin RDB. But i wouldn't put him on the list the includes bachan,srk,anil kapoor.
Aamir too has a league of his own in bollywood, you got to admit to tht.

Aamir is one of the few actors of substance alive in Bollywood.He holds a place in Indian cinema just like Tom Hanks.Do you know he was invited by a reputed british university students after Laggan,because after seeing Laggan their mindset about Indians changed a lot.There is no doubt his acting is recognised globally.He has the best percentage record when it comes to giving hits.Man just think before you say anything about people.Your are a very narrow minded person.Actors are defined by their acting not by their height or appearance.
