Well Bollywood in true tradition has a list of some real rotten actors and actresses. Picking up 5 is like asking me to pick up 5 drops from a pot of garbage. So I am slotting the worst actors in Bollywood under different categories. Yes only in India, you do find bad actors in every category imaginable. So Ladies and gentleman, welcome to Jurassic Park where we find the different species of bad actors.
Starsonaraus: This species is the child of another species called Dadosauraus. Mostly launched by indulgent dads who might have been good, bad or plain rotten. This species is phoren returned, with some degree from a fancy university in US( should have stuck to that university and spared us the trouble). Most are launched with media gushing about their dresses, pets and cats. They are supposed to have that charm, that poise, that everything except that humble thing called talent. But then we Indians are not supposed to ask such questions right? How dare we insult their khandaan? Fardeen Khan, Puru Raajkumar, Karan Nath, Suneil Anand, Kunal Goswami are some of the illustrious examples of this species.
PowderPuff Rex: This species was prevalent in the 60?s and 50?s. Powder puff heroes, who put on the same blank expression in movie after movie. Tried their best to cry, and left the audiences tearing their hair out in frustration. This breed was saved from extinction by the fact that they acted opposite some good heroines and had good songs to back them up. Rajendra Kumar, Pradeep Kumar, Bharat Bhushan, Biswajeet were some prime members of this species, before they became thankfully extinct.
Songadactyl: This species thrived on the hill station romances of the 60?s and 70?s where the hero and the heroine met in a hill station and romanced to the tunes of O.P.Nayyar, Shankar Jaikishan or R.D.Burman. As heroes their acting talents were nill, but they did manage to be a success, just because of the songs and dances in their movies. Every movie would see them give the same expression leaving the audience non plussed. Joy Mukherjee is the best example of this species.
Monoexpressionus: This species has a stock of expressions for emotions like love, hate, joy and jealousy. When you watch these actors on screen, you can predict exactly how they are going to act in that particular scene. They were good in a couple of movies like Jackie Shroff( Parinda) , Sunil Shetty(Border) and Jeetu in Gulzar?s movies, but that was that. Famous members of this species Jackie Shroff, Sunil Shetty and Jeetendra.
Dialogmarosar: This species confuses acting with talking. Even where a simple line would do, they go on uttering lines and lines of dialogue. Speech giving is their strong point, and the audience has to suffer every dialogue of theirs on topics ranging from karma to dharma. Some famed members of this ilk are Raj Kumar, Shatrughan Sinha.
Comedicpainosaur: These people are supposed to provide comic relief in the movies. But they are neither comic nor do they provide any relief. If any the comedy provided them is so stupid and idiotic, that it only irritates you further. You just feel like hitting them with a hammer . Many are the members of this species, but some foremost names which come to mind Rajendranath, Lakshmikant Berde, Rakesh Bedi, Johnny Lever, Ashok Saraf.
Villianorous: These bad guys ham to such an extent, that you want the hero to go and hammer them out, so that you can be spared the torture of watching them on screen. They believe that villainy means making loud noises, scowling, shouting at top decibel level and wearing outlandish costumes. Some prime villain bores are Shakti Kapoor, Om Shivpuri, Sadashiv Amarpukar, Raj Babbar.
