Thu Dec 26 Shah Rukh Khan21:01:21 2002
Name:ajit gokhale
City, Country:usa
Your Views:I think Anil kapoor was the best in Nayak.He is an in-depth actor above all the current crop. (I think Amitabh is running out of variety but to his luck has a lot of fan following even though all he does is uses his voice to dominate and lets the character be Amitabh rather than the hero or lead in the film.) Worst actor is hard to pick as there are so many today.

Name:Dr.J.Mukherjee
City, Country:New Delhi,India
Your Views:The best actor was Shah Rukh Khan in Devdas. He has given a very modern interpretation of the role and has reached new heights in histrionics. Devdas is a spolit brat, a product of the decadent babu culture of Bengal. So there is nothing wrong in Shah Rukh Khan's interpretation. He is easily way ahead of the others.

Your Views:well rediff is a coconut website who always favour the goras and how well they do. if u think the performance of srk in devdas was crap then you have some serious problems or either ur just trying to cath the headlines by rubbishing the best well Deepa Gahlot no one ever likes ur reviews no one ever believes ur reports i think you should leave ur job. another proof of rediff chatting nonsense is their box office report saying kaante isnt a hit when the fact remains the film was a brilliantly made film which has been accepted and just cause u people take the fact that a indian film has done well u are rubbishing it, what a joke u guys are......

Your Views:Putting Shahrukh Khan as a worst actor of 2002 makes me laugh at you. I can clearly picturize yourself as monkey see monkey do critic.... Shahrukh gave a good performance in Devdas and every one will agree to it except you good for nothing critics....that's the bottom line

Your Views:Deepa Gahlot is damn unworthy to even think for writing these type of columns. I have read her 'past' reviews and articles and man she favors Ritik more than her husband. So, everybody its understood why SRK was in the Worst Category. Now, before finishing off, I expect more respectable matter on Rediff and to make sure that idiots are kept away from writing for Rediff.com.

Name:Akshay Kumar
City, Country:Bangalore , India .
Your Views:In my opinion , best male performance is Manoj Bajpai in Road . His character Babu was complex and he performed it well . For one moment , it was difficult to predict what he was going to do best .


Thu Dec 26 21:56:32 2002
Name:Trishala
City, Country:Richmond, USA
Your Views:Akshay Khanna - Deewangee Like in "Dil chanhta Hai", Akshay had the difficult task of acting with an established actor with a better role. But he was very good. Akshay is subtle, yet very effective. While Ajay grabs attention with the unusual theme and role( for Bolywood that is!!!), Akshay stays focussed and delivers his performance with sincerity. Kudos to him. -Trishala.

Name:Rakesh Nair
City, Country:New York, NY
Your Views:The best performances on the Hindi screen this year were both from the same movie. Ram Gopal Varma's "Company" displayed the immense talents of both Ajay Devgan and Mohanlal. Frankly, I'm surprised Deepa Gahlot did not mention Mohanlal's portrayal of Commisioner Srinivasan. It should also be noted that while Devgan did play a kind of derived gangster character, his role in "Deewangee" (which was mentioned by Ms. Gahlot as one of his best performances) was a carbon copy of Edward Norton in "Primal Fear." Were I to choose between his performances in "Deewangee" and "Company" I would pick "Company" any day of the week and twice on Sunday. Devgan as the gangster Malik brought a subtle, quiet ferocity to his role while Mohanlal offered uncommon, dignified intelligence as a police officer- a role that has so often been abused by "Bollywood" actors. Special mention should also be made to the young newcomer Vivek Oberoi as well as the awesome character actor Vijay Raaz, who was tremendous in "Company" and the otherwise average "Lal Salaam". Certainly the most vastly overrated (not to mention one of the worst)actors of the year was, as Gahlot so incisively mentioned, Shah Rukh Khan as Devdas in Bhansali's disastrous vision. But quite possibly the worst performance I have seen this year came from Arjun Rampal in Aankhen (or Dil Hai Tumhara, take your pick with this guy). An actor does not get as wooden or soulless as this gentleman has time and again proven he can be.

Your Views:Well, the shortlisting did help a lot to choose the best and the worst. Sharukh Khan was ofcourse the worst IN devdas. His overacting won't take him places, he needs to realise that. First Mohabbatein,then Asoka n now Devdas, phew I am sick of him. And the best actor mantle I feel should be given to Vivek for his performance in Road, Company and ofcourse Saathiya. He gave a fresh n diffrent performance in all three. Hats off to this new comer. Atta boy!!!

Your Views:Of course, Ajay Devgan

is the best actor o this year playing various roles with such conviction and ease. He deserves this year's NATIONAL AWARD for his perfomances in THE LEGEND OF BHAGATSING ( where he potrayed the character of the legend martyer with such sensitivity and best of his ability ). And the worst one has been no doubtedly ShahRukh Khan. ( Well, will somebody tell me when has he been good in any role after Baazigar? ) Akshay Khanna was good too. A reliable actor as always. Then, why shouldnt I mention the new hearthrobe.....vivek oberoi.....he has proven his might too.

Your Views:sharukh is the worst???????????????????????????????????????????????????how can you make such irresponsible statements.at least you should have considered about lakhs of people who made "Devdas"the most successful film of the year.see i am and never was great fan of shahrukh but if you are saying that he was"disastrous" in the movie.then you really needs someone who will take pinch of ur brain.definitely there was no comparison to dilipsaab but still i think srk put really satisfactory performance and took full care of not to atleast deterioriate the character. so i kindly request editor of this site that plz don't appreciate such comments any more further and at least not display such outrageaous writeups publicly.

Your Views:I think the guy who is categorizing actors into best and worst actors is a stupid and foolish guy. You know, Shahrukh is called "Devdas" whearas Ash is just Ash as before. So, just don't try to degrade Shahrukh. If Devdas gets more accolades, it is because of Shahrukh and Bhansali more than Ash. Ash is good but Shahrukh is the nest!!! And Amitabh was really good in the otherwise boring Hum Kisise Kam Nahin. So, stop fooling people around and do some other work.

Your Views:I agree with all your choices for Best and Worst of 2002 except SRK. I'm not saying this because I am fan of his -- Actually I am not, but there were certain scenes where he is the best. Overall, in the movie Devdas, I couldn't see the undying love for Paro. May be script and the direction combine could not get the best of SRK. After all, the director is the captain of the ship.

Your Views:Ceratinly, Ajay devgan's roles in company, deewangee and TLOBS was this year best performances. This actor has dignified selction of role (foget forgetable HKKN which was anyway big B and dutt's film). Well akshay khanna and kumar deserve mention for good roles in good movies. Booby's performance in Humraaz and shaeed was also noticalbe. Vivek oberoi has proven himself for initail reels now has to go long way get best among rest. I think in 2003 people will be waiting for Aamir, sharukh and big B to come up with goo droles as they are guranteed sucess with good roles. hope for the best.

I strongly feel that Rajkumar Santoshi's movie was a class act and the Indian Audience once again failed to appreciate a master piece...it had all the elements....acting/cinemotography/good dialogues/songs/music. It is good to note that atleast the media did not get carried away by all the Roshan and Devdas hype and hoopala!!! Thanks a ton.

Your Views:I do not agree with Deepa Gahlots pick of Shahrukh Khan for one of the worst actors. Agreed that the performance was a bit over the top as with anybody else in the movie, he certainly broke a mould in his career. A look back at Dilip Kumar's performances without Nostalgic prejudices just ampliflies my point that Shahrukh Khan has essayed the role better than anyone previously has. I would deeply persaude Ms. Gahlot to put aside her long standing prejudices against Mr. Khan, not that it makes a difference to his enviable position in the industry and his reputation to be one of the finest actors in our country!
