Over/Under-rated actors

Overrated actors:
1. Dilip Kumar - Before somebody attempts to shoot me for giving such an opinion about a 'legend'... think about it... apart from his trademark 'thinking and questioning' style of acting, what else does he have? Whatever role he plays, he has the same expression and style... be it Salim from M-e-A or Ganga from Ganga Jamuna... compare him to Shah Rukh Khan who also has a trademark style but the difference is... he is willing to give up that naughty loverboy style if the movie does not require it! The only aspects in which I would rate him highly is his fluent dialogue delivery and his comic timing.
2. Rajesh Khanna - Award winning performance in Anand... but again, like Dilip Kumar, no variety!
Underrated Actors:
1. Father and son - Vinod Khanna and Akshay Khanna... they are way too underrated, even in a no-brainer movie they carry themselves with class and poise...
2. Saif Ali Khan - Gets 10/10 from me for the diversity of roles he plays and can play. Just like the above father and son pair... a very intelligient actor.
3. Abhishek Bachchan - Has a style of his own and good acting comes naturally to him! Watch Guru...
4. Arbaaz Khan - The most intellectual of the 3 brothers... superb actor.
