Is Hrithik Roshan the most stylish actor ever to grace bollywood films?
The manner in which Hrithik Roshan had revolutionised bollywood films with his classic stunts and dashing performance in the film Dhoom 2, it has raised the debate that whether Hrithik is the most stylish actor ever to grace bollywood films.
He took outstanding make up in the film, sometimes even disguising himself as a statue while trying to steal the diamond from the famous museum in the film Dhoom -2, he had shown his skills while descending from helicopter with parachute and the use of modern technology for his outstanding operations in the film.
The scene where he pointed the revolver at Aiswariya Rai and asked her to kill him, there also his style was unique. Besides his dancing skills are excellent including the lips in the song “dhoom machale” which superseded the powerful performances of Abhishek Bacchan and Bipasha Basu in the film.
It is not only Dhoom -2, Hrithik was sublime in his double roles in the film Kahona Pyar Hai, opposite Amisha Patel. The scene where he represented Raaj and looked at the mirror and said the criminals know the similar face, there his style was as elegant as any of the Hollywood stars of the present age.
Even in Mission Kashmir, his action sequence opposite Sanjay Dutt, a soldier of many battles, was unique. One of the reasons why Hrithik could not shine beyond a moderate level in bollywood films is because Indian audience had not matured to accept stylish performances to that extent. Otherwise he had shown the most dynamic styles in bollywood and could had become more popular than Amir, Salman or Shahrukh Khan. His English intonation is impressive and his voice is different from the leading actors of bollywood.
Other than his father Rakesh Roshan, the other directors could not use him to his full potentials. Jodha Akbar to be released this year will show his elegance in historical roles. He is expected to show his style in a more versatile manner in the years to come and can be a motivation for the actresses like Priyanka Chopra, Preeti Zinta, Kareena Kapoor, Rani Mukherjee, in the years to come for matching him in the respective performances.
