Readers pick: Bollywood's most over-rated
There's a thin line between good and great. What may strike as effective might not necessarily be exceptional.

While some film stars are naturally charismatic and hopelessly fortunate to bag a top rating for every single achievement, others have a knack to blow their trumpet to the best of their abilities.

Does that really make them incomparable? We asked you to vote for Bollywood's most over-rated actors. And the stinging response was reminiscent of Aamir Khan's punchy one-liner in Rangeela: Apun public hai. Kisi ko bhi gira sakta hai [I am the public. I can reject anyone].

So, here they are, rediff.com readers, your selection of top ten over-rated heroes and heroines:

Shah Rukh Khan

He may saucily croon 'I am the best'. An overwhelming majority, however, voted Shah Rukh Khan as Bollywood's topmost over-rated actor.

Even though most agree his work in Swades and Chak De! India was competent, they feel the eloquent star's has made a career out of playing Raj/ Rahul clones in mush after mush. And to add to the injury, won awards too!

Interestingly, SRK made light of this very sentiment in his recent blockbuster, Om Shanti Om.

*** Man o Man! what an honest list!

Really! More like a list done by retards Pick some the most popular acts currently at a cheap stab to create some sort of list that doesn't even give consistence reasons for picking each person - reason go from 'over-paid', 'the media highlighted her too much' 'monotonous pairing' & 'unfair advantage' WTF!. And how did Rajnikant get classed as 'Bollywood' actor

I guess to your unlikeliness KAJOL did not get added lol

I personally do think, Rani, Sarook, Abhishek, Aish do not deserve, what they are at. AB is going down hill. Rajni, even not Bollywood, has been selling for screen presence/style.

Yeh! I'm still sulking over that

I would say Ajay Devgan is way over-rated
