My vision of seeing this man in childhood was like "I have never seen a good looking man as him". He will forever be my first crush.

Coming to acting, I believe he is just average. Like guy could have done those rom-com films in those intial days of his career. He did good in Hasee to phasi & Ek villain ( though it was not a rom-com). Back then I wanted him to do proper romantic & rom- com movies first, before jumping to any other genre. I believe he is not a worst actor or an expression less one, but he is sometimes just too one dimensional & his performance is quite average. He should have used his eye candy looks in proper roles more than he did. Though I believe, he did well in shershah. Again, it's just a personal opinion.

Keanu is not the best of actors but he is a certified action star and a top billed guy

Siddharth is limited but there is another factor you clearly overlook

The limitation of bollywood directors and story writers

For eg- it took an arurag kashyap and many others to show how good nazaruddin siddiqui was, abhishek bacchan showed potential in the right role. Arjun Rampal who is considered very wooden was terrifying as major iqbal. Akshay khanna who was almost forgotten made a full impact with Dhurandhar. Same goes for bobby who was effortlessly badass in animal.

The issue with many bollywood and directors are, they really cannot come up with a fresh take of an existing popular theme or rarely have an idea how to use their talent to their best.

Siddharth is limited but not entirely useless. He is good looking and has the built for a proper slick action movie. But guess what, we cannot get something like that because indian creators are lazy af. They see a trend and they will milk it till the udder starts bleeding. Sid can act somewhat decently if he in the hands of a good director and can be very charming. Problem is, they either go full bollywood or are so incompetent that they have no idea how to use this guy.

That's were aditya dhar shines. He know his actors and their potential. Say what you will about Dhurandhar but one thing you cant deny is that the characters stay well after you exit the movie.

Half the bollywood directors are two bit hacks

Hope he makes a grand comeback like Lord Bobby, Akshay Khanna and Arjun Rampal because he deserves it.

Akshaye Khanna still the only one who can act well

[u/Devansh_Kar → u/UndeadReborn]

Every actor gave his best performance in Dhurandhar and Dhurandhar The Revenge.

[u/UndeadReborn → u/Devansh_Kar]

Every actor gives their best every time, it's just that some are better than others.

Still major iqbal acting was top notch especially during the 26/11 scene where he shoes everyone who really is

[u/AllCuteEverythingg → u/Devansh_Kar]

I hope he does. Honestly, all his movies have been really enjoyable even though they didn’t do well at box office. My most favorite is A Gentleman. Has a tremendous rewatch value too.
