In fact, AB delivered consistently good performances right through that phase of his career - <I>Anand, Chupke Chupke, Milee, Sholay, Deewar, Kabhie Kabhie, Silsila</I> etc. Its the phase after that that seems to have killed off the true actor in him - crappy stuff like <I>Mahaan, Naastik, Mard, Giraftaar, Coolie, Naseeb</I> etc (Am not being chronologically accurate here, but I guess you get the point - slowly his ability to deliver a great performance just faded). Now he's just mimicking himself - sorta like Dharam.<BR/><BR/>You are right about Pacino, of course; in fact, the movie that eventually won him an Oscar - the one where he plays the blind man - was no great shakes as a performance. I am not very familiar with Brando's body of work, but De Niro is another piece of work altogether - he churns out good performances consistently!<B>Ranjit Nair</B>https://www.blogger.com/profile/13589634933960513747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18334306.post-1157904737726939392006-09-10T12:12:00.000-04:002006-09-10T12:12:00.000-04:00@Saumya: Hey, Kareena is damn sexy!!

I have seen Brando, De Niro, Pacino, etc. giving less than sterling performances in movies shown late night as filler on various digital channels.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18334306.post-1156373624990208782006-08-23T18:53:00.000-04:002006-08-23T18:53:00.000-04:00acha baba - no jij - all the best for the weddin -...acha baba - no jij - <BR/>all the best for the weddin - if the pre wedding jitters are hitting just look at Smi's pic (wink)<BR/>all the best Renjith Ettan (LOL!!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18334306.post-1155856623947486242006-08-17T19:17:00.000-04:002006-08-17T19:17:00.000-04:00Jij, sorry to say AB is AB ab aap ulte bhi khade h...Jij, sorry to say AB is AB ab aap ulte bhi khade ho jaoo – manne koi farak nahi paenda hain- he is my GOD <BR/><BR/>And MohanLal was awesome but since he started this master of all trade kind of roles from the onset of narasimham – I can’t stand him anymore – his only recent good film was udyan annu tharan that too again srinivasan takes a big piece of the cake . what is with the no –sense making punch line he has in all his movies .<BR/><BR/>Mamooty at least has maintained himself and hasn’t got the hanging jowls , sunken eyes and overflowing guts trade mark of all successful mallu actors – tho that doesn’t justify him acting with starlets younger than his daughter<BR/><BR/>Kamal – yes a gr8 actor tho a but hyoed too<BR/>Rajni – is an entertainer no doubt – like govinda – who also has given gr8 performances – eg hatya <BR/><BR/>And I agree with most of the others but if we are comparing acting skills than one cannot forget the nedumudi venus and thilakans of mallu cinema – coz they are far better than the nazeers, om puris and paresh rawals of bollywood <BR/><BR/>And I agree with ur mom – kareena – uff!!! – she is too masculine to be a heroineAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
