no doubt he's best indian actor but you think better than de nero & pachino? who are my heros.

fav films
taxi driver
godfather 1/2
casio
heat
carlitos way
scarface

for denero i like taxi driver i dont think ab could beat that maybe come close err no i change my mind he could not even come close. my best pachino performance was in carlitosway and again i think ab could not do that performance to the standed set by pachino.

all in all i think ab is amazing for indian cinema, but i guess denero/pachino are just better the face impressions the body movements just amazing check out heat and watch pachinos hand movements in that film just amazing.

imran.

yup...I agree somewhat Robert de niro and Al Pacino are better than AB and though most will not agree. Anyway it is not that the actors in Bollywood are bad but rather the audience cannot accept that kind of films. Even Agneepath was a flop. Can you imagine Taxi driver made with AB in the 1970's and be acclaimed.

I believe Nasseruddin Shah and Sanjeev Kumar to be as good as, if not better than, Amitabh Bachchan.

De Niro is probably Hollywood's best ever

Pacino & De Niro are Hollywoods greatest.
But Amitabh Bachchan is onvthe same level as both of them. I'm not saying he's better, am saying that he can compete with both of 'em!

De Niro's best Performance:Taxi Driver
Pacino's best Performance:Scarface
Bachchan's best Performance:Muqaddar ka Sikandar/Sharaabi

If you watch AB carefully in his movies, you can tell how good he actually is, watch in sholay..when he does that dying scene..look at the way his eyes roll and the way he expresses his emotions!......Also in Muqaddar ka Sikandar watch the scene before he sings "O Saathi Re"....watch how his voice & face change when tells everyone he is an Orphan!

I know Pacino & De Niro r class, but AB is up there with them:
think about it Pacino & De Niro have mostly been successful in serious/gangster roles...but AB has been successful in everything:
ROMANCE:KABHI KABHIE
ACTION:LAAWARIS/NASEEB/COOLIE..can go on forever!!
COMEDY: CHUPKE CHUPKE/ NAMAK HALAL
OLD MAN ROLES: MAHAAN/DESH PREMEE/AAKHREE RAASTA
DRUNKEN:SHARAABI/AMAR AKBAR ANTHONY/NASEEB
etc. etc.

See My Point!!!

I don't think you can compare hollywood actors with bollywood. There are some very good actors/actresses in bollywood for the likes of Nassruden, Shashi Kapoor(in his prime), Shabana Azmi, Om Puri and in todays films I think Aamir Khan and Sharukh have shown that if the roles are there they can diliver.

OLD MAN ROLES: MAHAAN/DESH PREMEE/AAKHREE RAASTA

Suryavansham!! haha

what ab does you call dancing mate? :p

How dare you! You mean haven’t seen the slick moves he did in Ganga Jamuna Saraswathi - disco bhangra! Pure class

Ali

And what a convenient time to bring back that poll!

..poor Pacino didnt even make it! But I've always questioned the authenticity of that poll.. how the hell did Govinda get there!

Ali

Then again polls are poll! Here's a new one that lists De Niro as number 1 and Pacino at number 2 - no Indian actor/actress to seen anywhere on the top 100!
