Yash Chopra |
| The King of Romance |
 |
| Credit |
: |
The 'King
of Romance' is still going very strong. His mushy romances about super-rich people wearing
chiffon sarees, having candle-lit dinners, jetting off to Europe is still a major draw for
folks here and abroad. |
| Debit |
: |
His
stories are too sweet and too predictable. There is usually a lot of style but no
substance. |
| Coming Soon |
: |
'Mohabattein'
starring Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan and Aishwariya Rai. |
| 2) |
Amitabh Bachchan |

The Legend is still considered to be
the God of Indian cinema. The movies he has signed will bring him in the reckoning once
again. |

His age. He can no longer play the hero
and has to accept the fact that only mature roles will suit him. |

Johar's 'Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Ghum'; Rakesh Mehra's 'Aks'. |

Verma's 'Jungle'. |
| 4) |
Shahrukh Khan |
| Baadshah of PR |

| Credit |
: |
His
excellent PR skills gets him the right projects with the right directors at the right
time. He is one actor who has his whole career mapped out for the future. |

tendency to ham. His inability to give hits without the help of brilliant directors. A guy
by the name of Hrithik Roshan. |

His
spotless reputation as a clean wholesome filmmaker. He brings the traditional Indian
values to everyone's living room. |
| Debit |

An
overdose of sickly sweet gestures is always in his films and people get bored to see a
family that is so perfect (Hum Saath Saath Hain). |

Salman Khan |
| The Superbrat |

| Credit |
: |
His looks
and his body. His ama\zing female following almost guarantees a good opening to his films.
He has his own set of loyal producers and directors. |

: |
His
balding pate. His inability to do varied roles. He plays the stereotypical rich playboy in
every film. |
| Coming Soon |

| 8) |
Karan Johar |
| The Young Prodigy |
|
| Credit |
: |
He can
make you cry, laugh, fall in love…all in less than 3 hours. He is young and hence
willing to experiment. He has created the greatest casting coup of all time in his next
movie. |
| Debit |
: |
Too many
expectations. His style of movie-making reminds us of Yash Chopra and hence doesn't help
him create his own identity. |
| Coming Soon |
: |
'Kabhi
Khushi Kabhi Gham' starring Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan, Shahrukh Khan, Kajol, Hrithik
Roshan and Kareena Kapoor. |

Too much
hype and too many expectations might take its toll on him. |

Vinod
Chopra's 'Mission Kashmir'; Subhash Ghai's 'Yaadein'. |
