What has the 'suitability for all' got anything to do with being a good actor? I think movies like Raja Hindustani and Ishq are made in the first place for juvenile Indian minds which never got past their adolescent stage. If a hindi film on-screen kiss excites anyone so much, its time to see the friendly family psychiatrist. Ina any case, I think Aamir was pressured into such films. Just as Shah Rukh was probably pressured into inane crap like Karan Arjun and Koyla.

Most definately Aamir Khan with his under stated performances compared to the over the top performances of Shahrukh Khan

I am a big fan SRK but I will give the acting award to Aamir Khan. SRK is good but not as good as AK...

i still think shahrukh khan is better. he makes different movies, come on unlike all actors he started with villian roles... unlike most start with romantic. ok if amir khan is good then how come he cant play roles like shahrukh khan in raam jaane, darr.... etc...

I think Aamir Khan is the better actor and Shah Rukh is the better movie star.

Amir is doing different roles in every movie . SRK as one of my friend said is dependent on yash chopra and he is available only for love stories . you try amir in every role and i can bet on that he can do much better than SRK .

I agree with Pagalchand, as well. Aamir Khan appears to be a more qualified actor than Shah Rukh Khan while Shah Rukh knows how to make his roles into performances where he becomes a star. Aamir has a knack for feeding off the acting abilities of his co-stars better, I think. And I don't understand how people can say Aamir doesn't have range in his roles when one looks at films like: Lagaan, Dil Chahta Hai, 1947 Earth, Ghulam, Hum Hain Raahi Pyar Ke, Sarfarosh, and Rangeela.

ummmm...tough choice here (please note heavy sarcasim)...aamir all the way..sure aamir had a flop like mela, but aamir can NEVER be accused of bad/over acting in any of his movies unlike SRK (e.g english babu desi mein)..without the yash chopra camp (which includes johar), SRK is just a star like akshay kumar..I mean really all of SRK's major hits have been heavily tear jerking romantic roles (DDLJ, DTPH, KKHH, etc)...aamir has churned out major hits with QSQT, JJWS, sarforsh and all the above mentioned movies ...his hit to flop ratio is phenomenal and is truly one of the most dependable stars..If I go to a video store and I am given a name of two movies I have never heard of and only know one has aamir and the other SRK, I'd pick aamir any day because I know if anything that there will be atleast one great acting performance...

OK, I think we get your point. You like SRK. You've pointed that out in your past five posts in this topic alone.

I'm surprised that you like SRK so much, but don't know much about him. He didn't start his career with negative roles. He started off doing romantic roles in movies like Deewana, Dil Aashna Hai, and Chamatkar. These movies all released before Baazigar, Darr and Anjaam.

Aamir takes a little more risk in choosing his roles than SRK. Sure, SRK did Dil Se and Asoka, but he did a shamefully commercial film like K3G very recently. Whereas Lagaan and Dil Chahta Hai, though they were hits, couldn't have been predicted to be hits because they completely strayed from the formula. But if box office successes were the measure of an actor, Julia Roberts is a brilliant actor! :baaa:

Sknath, the comment was tongue-in-cheek, because some people think popularity means that an actor is hugely talented, which we know is not true because of the popularity of average-at-best talents like Julia Roberts, for example.

Sorry if I've offended any J-Ro fans, but it had to be said :p
