An actor looses his gift once he sees acting just as a money making option and stop enjoying it (for that mater any job). And that is what has happening with Sharukh. Remember him in Fauji and his earlier movies. But now he is just a star who will dance in your marraige if you have the money to pay him.

I dont blame him, because he has made it clear that he sees acting as just a profession.

Well, one can't complain SRK for not playing a variety of roles. The reason is, once a Star becomes a SuperStar, he's entitled to stick to his image, because he needs to satisfy those 'certain' expectations that people have for him. Well, Amitabh could only be in action roles earleir in his career and all masala flicks after that. Rajinikanth in Tamil cannot afford to experiment. No complaints, because these guys are like money making machines for the producers. If they deviate from their image driven formulas, and if those movies don't click at the box-office, the loss is enormous. So why do all that? That's why we have Aamir in Hindi and KamalHassan in Tamil...

Shah Rukh is the king. He is perhaps the only one having a perfume named after him by Jeanne Arthes.

I"m not a big SRK fan. But I saw Swadesh yesterday! Excellent movie!! Not for SRK. I personally think that Hrithik would have been better in that role. But the movie was great. And SRK had very little to do with it. But excellent movie. MHN was a good movie, I liked SRK in that one.

[TessUnsonia]

I think he is a good and versatile actor. Personally, i do not like a lot of his older films(ones that came before Dilwale Dulhanija Le Jayenge). I think he is doing much better now. I think he has realized that is better to spread good values through films tahn to make pointless masala films. I don't know whether he is in acting purely for money or not, so i won't comment about that.

WOW. Someone that actually shares the same views on Telugu films as me.

yeah, i hate the way people in Telugu films look. They all look like idiots and the films represent the worst of society. Telugu films make Telugu speaking people look bad(i'm a telugu speaker). The reason why they cast such hideous people is because the directors or producers are ussually related to them. The films are madevery qucikly and the producers try to spend as little money as possible, so they cast their own relatives regardless of how they look. One thing i never understood was how Chiranjeevi became so famous(i know he has done some social work and all...but he is still a horrible actor). He is a big, fat, and ugly guy that can't act or dance properly. Even the actresses these days are getting uglier and fatter.

Anyway, lets create a new thread for more discussion on this topic.

[shemadagaswer]

Yup, I agree that Shah Rukh is an exceptionally talented actor. He is excellent in character roles. The dance routine is good too, but for a real actor, he is best remembered for impressionable, character roles, Pa!!

Shah Rukh should continue exploring these options and leave the dances to the younger crowd of actors, who are like a dime a dozen by the way!!

[huntbytnkbel]

I want immeadiate reply! WHO THINK THAT THE SOUTH INDIAN FILM INDUSTRY, THE MEN THINK THAT THERE BIG, UGLY, DISGUSTING MUSTACHES LOOK GOOD (CHIRANJEEVI, TELEGU)? IF THEY DONT GET A NEW "LOOK" THOSE UGLY PEOPLE, I THINK I WILL PUKE! PLEASE REPLY SOMEONE!

[unishisse]

Yeah, i've seen both of them. I think they were both pretty good. Veer Zaara was very long though.

I didnt like Veer Zaara. The story has no naturality. There two much scripter intervension to achieve the final climax. SRK was below average in it. I agree, SRK was below average. But I simply loved the dialouges, ,the end was much better than what I'd expected, Hema, and Amit were cool, it was a nice watch. Much better than the other movies that I had seen lately like Dhoom etc.

PS: How was Dhoom and VZ's box-office performence?

Regards.

please dont compare kamal hassan with aamir khan. there is no comparision. kamal hassan is an old fool who overacts and makes really crappy movies which are super flops. On the other hand aamir khan is the most versatile actor in India and has had so many hits to his credit. aamir khan also has the padmashee award, to inform the black tamil moron surya who think only the ugly egocentric flop actor kamal hassan has it.
face it, kamal hassan just overacts and uses the same expressions over and over again. except for tamil nadu no one gives a shit about kamal hassan anywhere in india, whereas aamir khan is very popular all over india.

[gundas]

Guys, dont get into regional warfare in the movies forum. All actors have their strong and weak points. Anyway, comparing the Shahrukh and Kamal Hasan is like comparing apples and oranges.

Bambal, dont bring skin color into this. There are many Tamils with very fair skin and there are also many Northern Indians with dark skin...so the assumption that all Tamils have dark skin is idiotic. For example, Hema Malini is a Tamil...but she has fair skin and Abishek Bachan is from Northern India, but he has dark skin.

[bromgeksan]

filmfare, zee awards were always considers the popularity of the stars. and sharukh is the greatest star of hindi films. so how can be an award ceremony be complete without him. in 2004, actually it was amitabh who deserved the filmfare awards for his powerpacked perfomances in khakee and dev. so filmfare awards doesnt count towards the calibre of an actor. sharukh is a good actor but can never be compared with amitabh or naseruddin shah.

[xyznicks]

Dhoom and Veer Zaara did quite well at the box office. They are even making a sequel to Dhoom.

[Susanleech]

Lata Mangeshkar's favorite actor is Amir Khan ...Anyway, I liked Shah's acting in K3G and Chaahat...he was super...

[DINAKuncher]

i agree srk is a really good actor.has anyone seen veer zara or swades?

this is not the spirit. of course you can argue, but please mind your language.

shah rukh khan is definitely NOT a great actor! i think his talents as an actor are extremely limited and his success can be attributed to the fact that he knows those limits and stays within them.

it wouldn't be very fair to call him an extraordinarily versatile actor either - one look at his body of work tells you that he hasn't gone through an amazing range of roles. even for films like "Asoka" or "Devdas" where you would've expected the lead actor to really get into the skin of the character and bring out a radically different performance, shahrukh's portrayals just seemed to be scratching the surface. there was not much insight or depth to his acting in those roles. in contrast, with films like "DDLJ" and "Kuch Kuch Hota Hai" and "Kabhi Khushi..." where the characters he plays are good-goody and just require him to charm his way through the role - basically, just being himself, he comes out a winner.

[BoboStin]

ramsri, you are absolutely right. swadesh was a different film and sharukh gave one of his finest performance. still it didnt work at the box office. so it is not his fault if he believes that people want to see him only in colourful formula films. i personally think that his best performance was in bazigar.
