Dinesh Kamath speaks about his favourite film actors

Today I'll talk about actors whom I consider as ace actor. I'll talk about both Bollywood and Hollywood actors. Amitabh Bachchan and Dilip Kumar are the best bollywood actors of all times. The most memorable performace of Amitabh was in the film Deewar, while Dilip Kumar gave the most sterling performance in the film Shakti. It is difficult to say as to who between Amitabh and Dilip Kumar is a better actor. Both are superb actors, each in his own way. In Shakti, Dilip Kumar had played the role of Amitabh's father. And what a way he played that particular role! I've no words. No wonder Dilip Kumar is referred to as Marlon Brando of India. Amitabh became a cult figure after his magnificent performance in Deewar. In this particular film, Amitabh is shown as speaking to God in one particular sequence. It appeared as if he was talking to a real God and not a stone idol. That brilliantly he performed in that particular sequence. The film also has scenes where there are verbal clashes between Shashi Kapoor and Amitabh, which just don't fail to impress the audiences. Even in the film Shakti, there is a verbal clash between Amitabh and Dilip Kumar. This is another mrmorable sequence. Both Amitabh and Dilip Kumar exhange dialogues in such a way that you can't make out who between the two is a better actor. Both are outstanding in that particular scene of the film

Now I'll talk about my most favourite Hollywood actors. I can never forget Marlon Brando's fantastic performance in Godfather. What a way he performed! He gave a demonstration on what is genuine acting. In the same movie there was another actor who gave s splendid performance. He was James Caan who played the role of Sonny in that film. James Caan became extremely popular all over the world after his magnificent performance in Godfather. He undoubtedly gave a memorable performance. He played the role of a gangster who is hot-tempered and flirt but at the same time very kind, loving and generous and one who possesses a powerful military mind. He lives like a hero and dies like a hero in the film. There is still one more actor who excelled in Godfather. He was Al Pacino. He played a character called Michael who is just the opposite of Sonny but yet very impressive. Al Pacino was shown as a survivor and he went on to impress the audiences by his performances in two more sequels of Godfather that followed. I liked Al Pacino's performace in the film Scarface too. What a splendid performance it was! In Scar face, Al Pacino played a character who is just the opposite of the character Michael that he portrayed in Godfather. Al Pacino played a gangster called Tony Montana in Scarface. There is still another Hollywood actor who impressed me to a great extent and he is Jack Nicholson whose performance in the film One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest was simply brilliant. He played the role of a patient in mental asylum. In this film, Louise Fletcher had played the role of the strict nurse in the smae asylum where Jack Nicholson is admitted. The interactions between liberal Jack Nicholson and strict Louise Fletcher in this film are real treat to watch. The movie was a masterpiece and so also the performances of the two actors I mentioned above. For your information, both Jack Nicholson and Louise Fletcher received Oscar for this film. The film itself too was given an Oscar.

I'll talk more about the films and actors sometimes later. Bye!
