RE:INDIA'S BEST 10 ACTORS by DINESH BABU on Feb 20, 2008 04:36 PM Mohan Lal doesn't deserve first place because he suits only for Malayalam. Where is Nageshwara Rao (Telugu), Sanjay Kumar (Hindi)?? I think the list biased with Malayalam actors.    Forward   |   Report abuse
RE:INDIA'S BEST 10 ACTORS by GITTY GEORGE on Feb 21, 2008 11:01 AM mamooty should be in the first place.no place forth indians and delete mohanlal from the list    Forward   |   Report abuse
RE:INDIA'S BEST 10 ACTORS by jaison george on Feb 20, 2008 04:42 PM Dear Dinesh, There is no clasifiaction of malayalm, hindi, Tamil, etc. Acting is acting. Is Bachan is suitable for Malayalm or Tamil, Is Sharukh is suitable for Manipuri ? Give answer me? Acting doesnot have any language? that is acting. Mohanlal Deserves place No:1. Becoz u have to see his Talent & potential. U see Aag, Bachan is far behind of Moahanlal in the case acting in that film. Bachan also agreed that. Next, U r suggestion about Nageswara Rao is right. I will include his name also in the list.Then mammootty will go down to 11th    Forward   |   Report abuse
RE:INDIA'S BEST 10 ACTORS by DINESH BABU on Feb 20, 2008 04:49 PM Dear George, I agree with your point. But versatility with body language is also important. Mohan Lal has acted in many movies other than Malayam. But he could't adopt to the expressions. You can see movies he acted in Tamil.No second thought he is a great actor, but not at the top. I mentioned Hindi, Telugu for reference.    Forward   |   Report abuse
RE:INDIA'S BEST 10 ACTORS by DINESH BABU on Feb 20, 2008 04:41 PM The difference between other actors in the list is he can give voice in all languages he is acting with the Same style of pronunciation. He has talent to adopt to any language.    Forward   |   Report abuse

RE:INDIA'S BEST 10 ACTORS by sarvanan kumar on Feb 20, 2008 07:11 PM mohanlal may be gud in malayalam...he dint click in hindi (meant for character role) or tamil..i agree mohanlal is a very gud actor.but kamal is dynamic....watch kamal for acting starting sadma...nayagan....hindustani..anbe sivam .be it north or south...kamal is the best actor in india...no second thought...    Forward   |   Report abuse
RE:INDIA'S BEST 10 ACTORS by sandeep on Feb 21, 2008 12:00 AM yes saravanan. I agree with you. Also, Kamal can act like mohanlal. But mohanlal can never act like Kamal (mainly roles like that in swathi muthyam, avvai shanmugi etc.)    Forward   |   Report abuse

RE:RE:International Effort by Krikt Lover on Feb 20, 2008 08:57 PM you tell me then who is better than Kamal and when you are thinking of names think of all the different kind of rules he has done and anyone you can claim to be close enough to come close to Kamal. If you take any actor they are good at one aspect and form a stereotype. None can show this kind of verstality. Anyway this is my view and I am not expecting you to agree with me but please don't indulge in mud slinging    Forward   |   Report abuse
RE:International Effort by Konga on Feb 21, 2008 12:36 PM well...respect your views and it is very subjective....i loved Kamal in Sadma, Pushpak.....i also hated him Mumbai Express,Abhay etc...agree he is a great actor and one of my top fav.....same way..i have loved many AB movies...but hated in many as well...same goes for all top actors...hence i don't have any best....i keep AB, Rajini, KamalHasan, Naseer, OmPuri, RajKumar, Nagarjun, MohanLal in same league...they are best when they have good script with good director handling them...at the end of the day - it is a team effort...isn't it?    Forward   |   Report abuse
RE:International Effort by iyer ramachandran on Feb 26, 2008 05:42 PM why do we need to worry about oscars.Most of the Jury in Oscars are people who do not understand indian languages. how can they judge our movies by subtitles?    Forward   |   Report abuse

RE:RE:Kamal by venkatramanan iyer on Feb 20, 2008 04:19 PM first we all r human, then comes the upper caste and Sc/St catagory.
