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.
