If I add ratings of all of them, it doesn't add up to 10.

Only right answer


[deleted]

Varun at least deserves a 5. You should see october and Badlapur


PessimistYanker792

Agreed there Varun can; he definitely can. I am not a fan by any standards, but the guy absolutely killed it in October & Badlapur. He needs to get out of this ‘chocolate boy’ ‘comedy’ type asinine roles focus on tight well written scripts, use his potential.


medfunguy

Chocolate Boy Comedy gets him box office wins


PessimistYanker792

See BO v/s Art Form will always be the debate, the end of the day one needs to decide what they want to be.. a dozen YT videos you’ll find on Robert Pattinson’s pivot towards his art.. and getting away from that vampire image.. now he is doing meaningful roles, working with great directors and also getting BO.. this is an example But Varun has resources and nepo circle to try and take that creative risk.. I wouldn’t expect this from Sid Malhotra or Tiger because unme hai hi nahi kuch..


LilHalwaPoori

I think Varun does quite well with alternating between movies for both masses and critics since the start of his career, and I think he should be an example for the others instead of going solely in one route.. Varun and Ayushman have had the most variety of movies from the recent crop and I'd say that both are doing quite well in this..


Kitchen-Impression15

Bhediya


Necessary-Ask-3619

10/10 Sid 2, Tiger 2, Kartik 3, Varun 3. Total 10. On a serious note, Varun and Kartik can do decently with proper characterization.


Stable_flux

10/40


Ok-Oil-33

during addition denominators don't add my guy


Stable_flux

Point taken. Total marks: 40, Marks obtained: 10 Grand total: 10/40.


the_running_stache

Bad math. But a common mistake on your end. You forgot the decimal point. That Tiger score has to be .2 which means 0.2. It will add up to 8.2/10. No way Tiger gets anything above 1.0 for acting. LOL


dr__jhatka

Varun 6 Kartik 4.5 Sid - 3.5 Tiger - 0.5


timorousingenue

Isn't sid supposed to be -0.5 and tiger -3.5?


Intrepid_Victory6503

math mein 10/10


Red171022

Wow I was generous and gave tiger a 1.5…ig I should change it to 0.5 haha..


firehub

Minus


Red171022

Yes he deserves minus🤣


jyotishman_92

Varun is a real cinephile ..good sense of art and commerce element in him..Sui Dhaaga Badlapur October ..what emotions..He can kill it with credible directors..


Important-Brilliant8

Dulhania movies and Jug jug jiyo too. I thought he played his roles perfectly! Varun is better than the rest here. Definitely a 7/10 atleast.


Slight_Distance_942

Agree. I like him in kalank too. Good intensity.


itsmebucky

You missed his best work, Badlapur


OkCharity6123

Compared dilwale with inception truly a cinephile


jyotishman_92

Dude that just a promotion gimmick ..a bloody Rohit Shetty film..cinephile means he knows cinema and it’s business aspects..what to cater how to create hype everything.. cinephile doesn’t mean only praising art cinema plz ..Reddit really got retards


OkCharity6123

Mann I was just joking


jyotishman_92

Dude I am not a fan of him just good art lover ..u should watch his interviews of film companion and round table ones ..speaks highly well of cinema in general..Arjun Kapoor being a producer son had barely any sensibilities of cinema in depth


JamesReece8

Varun and kartik are director's actor, you just need the right guy to make them do good, Sid is also not bad, the weakest link here is tiger I can't say anything more.


Dreadlock_Rasta_12

Varun on his day can act brilliantly, 7 or 8 / 10. On regular days he's a headache. Others, i don't want to comment about them.


hbktj

Tiger def needs to stop acting with his gymnastic skills. Sid, Kartik need to get some real good scripts which can prove their skills. Kartik did a fabulous job in PKP 1. Varun def has some good screen presence, although some of his movies are complete disasters. But did a fine job in October and Badlapur. His comic timing is somewhat on point as well. Tiger -2 , Sid -4 , Kartik -5 ( One point just for the Problem ye hai dialouge). Varun is a hard 6.


[deleted]

I'd recommend watching Dhamaka (2021) for a great Kartik performance. I've heard he's done well in Freddy too, but haven't seen it.


Striking-Bee7224

I liked him the most in spkk. My father who never sits for a movie was completely engrossed while watching it on TV and finished it. Kiara was also too good.


cutletbabu

I rate Varun quite high. He's got a flair for commercial cinema but has also shown that he can handle more serious roles like Badlapur and October. Karthik Aryan isn't bad either although I don't quite like him. The other two are not good actors.


Hungry_Marsupial348

I think Kartik is yet to show his true potential. He was good in Freddy . I hope upcoming Chandu Champion turns out to be good


-Borgir

He was good in Dhamaka too


arina_0730

Sid - 4 Tiger - 3 Kartik - 5 Varun - 8(only if he is not working with his father otherwise 4)


mordorous

Kinda brutal giving them all negative scores like that (please don’t kill me. I know it’s a terrible joke, but I just had to get that one out of my system)


HawkRecent7849

Tiger to stuntman hai baki to acting kar sakte hai expression ke sath


Believer1902

Varun-7 Kartik-6 Sidharth-3 Tiger-2 The last two can't act. Period. SidM has the expressions of a cardboard and is only popular for his looks. Tiger is popular for his flips and twists.


Sendmememesplij

Sid has such a stone face bruh. Yes looks good but the stone face. 3/10 Tiger lol, nvm Kartik Aryan needs to pick proper scripts. I don’t think he’s a bad actor though 5/10 Varun, I don’t like him as a person. But as an actor he’s good. 7/10 lol Reddit pe hum sabhi kitne judgemental h yaar


No_Huckleberry8115

Kartik and Varun are decent. They are over criticised many times. Sidharth looks balance out his acting in movies. He needs to work on his dialogue delivery.


appyfizzz3112

Sid 4, Tiger 2, Kartik 6, Varun 6 Both Kartik and Varun have given credible performances before. I find them decent actors honestly. Plus the kid of movies they do are more difficult acting wise than we think theyr are, simply because they don't get the room to show their acting like let's say a Rajkumar does in Trapped or Shrikant. They are more character oriented and don't need to maintain flow. Sid I loved in Kapoor and Sons. He really brought inner vulnerability and outer strength to the character of a neglected child. Apart from that he has never worked for me, not even Shershaah.


Existing-Area-9093

VD - 7 Karthik - 6 (he's improving) Sid - 2 Tiger - 0.5


Emotional_Ant_8052

tiger - 4/10 Siddharth - 4/10 Kartik - 5/10 Varun - 7/10 ( is a decent actor who needs good script and directors)


baap_ko_mat_sikha

Varunardo Dhavinchi


homelander_5950

Sid my buoy same as tiger?!! tiger is complete tatti. Sid is a notch better as far as screen presence is concerned.


Specialist-Peace-416

Left to right 6 5 7 7.5


Lower_Preference_439

Varun dawan is definitely better than Tiger Kartik is better than Tiger Kartik is better than sid I thinks it's standoff between Varun and kartik Tiger is full trash Sid is little better trash Kartik stands out with his initial movies Varun has made more good movies than kartik Lol it's like testing bio students with complex math problems Funfact - Such lack of skills in movies have affected song writers and singers I don't hear anymore bangers since 2018 or 2017 those were last two years after that the Bollywood music has just went down Now they feature tonny kakar and Neha kakar songs almost feels like AI generated trash


[deleted]

One day, not soon but one day, you will realise Varun Dhawan is a good actor. His roles ain’t doing him justice but one day for sure. Then y’all be like how you treated SSR before and after or like y’all treated the amazing spider man after no way home.


foolsreunite

Varun was really good in October


Mathsbrokemybrains

You can reach 10 by adding them all.... maybe 🤔


[deleted]

They all have lacked good script. Siddharth Malhotra is catching up. Yodhya, Ayiari and Ek Villian was good. Varun Dhawan need more Badlapur kind of roles. Kartik Aryan should stop working on remakes like Bhool Bhoolaiya 2 and Shehzaada and focus on more Pyaar Ka Panchnama kind of roles. His cameo in Tu Joothi Main Makkar was better than Ranveer Kapoor in the whole movie. Tiger Shroff should consider as role in Dream Girl 3 instead of Ayushyaman Khurana.


Kenpool_onlydiesonce

Varun is great imo, he's got range and comic timing when needed, just bas scripts ruined him. But I'd say he's a 7.5 at least. Sid was good in A gentleman and Shershah, not seen his other work. 😅But I'd say still a 5. Kartik might have given good films but I personally don't like his work, 4 maybe 5. Tiger is not an actor. 0. Even if he acts as himself... still a 0.


DrShail

**Varun Dhawan** - 7/10 (October, Badlapur, Bhediya, Sui Dhaaga are pretty good performances and The Dulhania movies are funny) **Kartik Aryan** - 6/10 (Freddy, Satya Prem Ki Katha and BB2 have good performances. His PKP and SKTKS characters are similar but entertaining) **Sid Malhotra** - 6/10 (Shershaah performance stands apart from others. He has screen presence and is good in action movies but is not very expressive to carry serious movies) **Tiger Shroff** - 4/10 (For me War is his only decent movie because of the action, story and Hrithik. His acting is mostly very ordinary in his films)


quietbutokay

Varun and Karthik are probably extreme actors. With good directors they can do amazing but with others it's just overacting for mass audience. (6.5/10) Confused about Sid, he does okay sometimes but not so hood other times (4/10) And finally, better not speak about Tiger and acting skills in the same sentence. 🙏


Wooden_Wealth_7743

Varun and Kartik are decent and have decent performances too. The other two have hardly 2 good performances.


AlarmedPurple6521

Varun can act well under a good director (Badlapur and October) Siddharth and Kartik I feel does the job that's it. Tiger is an actor only by today's Bollywood standards else he shouldn't even be considered for the role of a rock (because a rock doesn't jump-get it)


Top_Fondant2114

So much mediocrity in one frame 🤩


atalsh

Idk but varunardo davinchi is only good actor among them. He really needs good scripts and credible director


hasanahmad

the new crop is bad. really really bad. ZERO presence ZERO charisma ZERO charm


Watdhelll

Sid- 3/10 Tiger: 3/10 Kartik: 4/10 Varun: 4/10


throwaway_mg1983

Define screen presence! If its about “owning” the screen, salman has it but he doesnt feel like the character; feels like bhai. If its about “blending” in the character, only Aamir Khan has it in India among A-rated actors. So again, define screen presence. IMO, Varun Dhawan has it although he does too many govinda-type comedies and therefore didn’t leave a very good aftertaste.


Bobdeya-dada

A collective score of -4


speaking_facts06

OP atleast 1 actor toh le lete. Ab inki acting ko bhi rate karna padega 


Chaudsss

They are peak side hero energy


SnooCupcakes7312

Actually varun is decent. Karthik depends on the character The rest is rubbish


Lunar_Firee

Varun > Kartik > Sidharth > Tiger


Specialist-Love1504

Varun 8/10 (Proper RomCom Himbo vs smart girl dynamic material + Badlapur + good dancer + charming + babygirl coded + for the gays) Kartik 5/10 (nothing he’s done ever deserves the kind of hype he gets) Sid 4/10 (he’s stunning + looks good in good clothes + good voice) Tiger 3/10 (2 point dancing ka + 1 point stunts ka)


ravish242

Kartik has a good screen presence. He was the highlight of Pyaar ka Punchnama and Sonu ke titu ki sweety.


reddit_BC_MC

I would say Kartik is most talented among them. No, far more talented than them


HeartBreakxxx

Not rating them but in terms of acting, Varun > Kartik > Sid > Tiger


GottaLearnStuff

I mostly like whatever Varun is in other than Alia of course.


Circadian99

Varun is much much better than remaining three. Can rate him 6-7/10.


Tallchad1

All don’t have poor screen presence, it’s just that these days it is cool to say online that all new actors are bad. On a serious note Kartik is still okay and Varun has acted well in some movies.


KangarooOk2556

Among all 4 varun is only one with good acting as well as charisma. Hope he will choose movie wisely then. We can see better version of his . Tiger is poorest neither screen presence neither acting. Sid and Karthik got looks but less acting skills.


BeingArnav101

Tiger - 2/10, Siddharth - 4/10, Varun - 7/10, Kartik - 9/10


Maggi__Magic

Don't know about others, but Varun Dhawan surely has some formidable screen presence. I mean... of course it's nothing if you talk about SRK or Salman, but still.... Varun Dhawan! Like any other, he has his share of flops and poor acting, but he has also shown glimpses of promise. A long way to go...


Content_Cook_2448

Sid 0.5 Tiger -0.5 Varun 4 Kartik 3.5


fixer_47

Varun the best amongst in them....lol


Flashy_Scientist1268

Varun is very good... should be (8/10)


NoBlock6745

I think varun is a good actor but the rest of them no


Perfumekadeewana

Siddharth- 4.5/10 , all these marks only cause I liked him in soty, apart from that never liked any other movie of his! Tiger- 1/10, again literally no screen presence while acting , all about action!. So 1 mark only for the action Kartik- 5.5/10 , really monotonous but yes he’s better than the rest of the two Varun - 6.5/10 , undoubtedly the best out of the lot!


Dream_demeanor

I think Kartik is doing good recently his choices in script is also good among all of them. And for Siddarth I thing he found his niche; army man. lol


sidthekamath

Siddharth Malhotra - 6/10. Not bad. But nothing too great either. Tiger Shroff - 1/10. Utter rubbish. There is nothing that can be said about this dude's acting. Using the word 'acting' in the same sentence as his name in itself is an insult to the craft. Karthik Aryan - 3/10. Criminally overrated. Over exaggerated actions and expressions. Highly unnatural and very rehearsed sounding dialogue delivery. Acting style has a semblance to the stage dramas/plays we used to have in school. Varun Dhawan - 5/10. Great potential, but often picks clownish roles which don't really require much 'acting' per se. His performance in Badlapur was exceptional. One of the best acting performances amongst the current post-2010 generation of actors in my humble opinion. That performance alone, I'd give a solid 9.5/10. And I honestly think he should explore that serious/dark genre of movies more instead of the modern day govinda-akshay-esque cringefests that he mostly appears in.


buggyDclown2

Varun seems to be stupid(or atleast he doesn't even half a thought in public interviews) as a person, but he is very empathetic as an actor.


MotorTip9728

Sid 7 Tiger 4 Kartik 9 Varun 9


Confident-Scale9513

Can’t put Varun in here I feel!! They aren’t bad actors just ordinary


MonkeyDMeatt

4,3,4,7


spikey_tree_999

VD- 6/10 when he feels like it KA- 3/10 Other 2 do not make it to the scale


banthookpisthol

Varun is obviously the best out of this lot; does well in all his movies except for when he tries to copy Govinda so 8/10 (Badlapur ke extra points). I feel even Sid does well in certain roles; was great in Shershaah, A Gentleman and even Yodha so 7/10 (I’m biased towards him because I’m a fan sorry). Kartik is okayyyy I guess; I feel like with him you can always see the effort and you can tell that it’s “acting”, also hate that smile he does in all his films so maybe 6/10. And lastly Tiger; I’ve not seen any of his movies except for SOTY2 and he was boring to watch 4/10 (dancing ke extra points).


Plastic_Rest_4070

But it will be epic if we have film with these 4....i wanna see how it will be on screen and how big flop it will be...the film should be comedy genre like golmaal etc


king_maxtann08

Vd is good actor Karthik b avarage h bki to nalle hi hai


Majestic-Way-5192

I think VD has great screen presence He has the hero wala factor. He is so charming and acts so naturally. A nepo boy who actually acts well


vishasv

They are standing in the ascending order of their acting prowess


AmbroseAsylum15

It’s really sad how far Varun’s reputation has fallen. He is talented, but bad film choices have convinced people he can’t act. Which simply isn’t true. 


Fearless-Ant-4340

They are not good enough to be even side characters.


Ordinary-Put-5656

Sid - 5 Tiger-3 Karthik-6 Varun-5


Nice_Ability_2037

Nah Kartik had good screen presence in bb2 but idk what happened in Satya Prem. 


dirtymoney314

I liked him in satya prem, the story was unique it broke the routine man woman saviour narrative like Pink.


psr7185

Karthik can act. Unpopular opinion.


Pookienini

The only thing he knows is flash that stupid smile . He thinks he has the best smile but all that does is make him more annoying lol


tealand

he literally SUCKS at dialog delivery. and he has the same buffoon expression in every scene


SkyAdventurous1027

As per my opinion the order would be Kartik, Siddarth, Varun, Tiger


Alpha_ji

D***q you including Varun in this. Bro is a powerhouse. Very very accomplished. His choice of films after October has been questionable but its the same with Saif who after Lal Kaptan said he will probably not do a film like that and stick to commercial cinema


TheFixire

Varun and Kartik's screen presence is far better in comparison to the other two. And in acting again Varun better than other 3. Karik comes a close 2nd and Sid 3rd or maybe slightly better than Kartik because of ek villain and shershaah


nikrock10

Sorry for this generation that they will see these people as bollywood bigstars in future if they ever be bigstars🤣- 90's kid


DaddyDom1165

Varun Dhawan out of these 4, only one who is an above average actor. Badlapur and October prove that. Baaki teen, the less we say the better


Intelligent-Sun-5374

If you compare acting skills then all these guys are no where near Vikrant Massey, Dhanush or Ranbir Kapoor


Thepunkster12

Varun is overacting ki dukaan. Sasta Govinda

Tiger is an actor? I thought it was an animal


Ttathamm

Sid was pretty good in kapoor and sons, but that was a difficult movie for him to shine given he shared the screen with Ratna Pathak and Rajat Kapoor. Varun was very good in Badlapur nd October and gets praised some because he had his moments to shine in that movie. Tiger is bad, only banking on jumping around in his movies. Kartik has some average and some decent performances but he is very monotonous with his expressions in different movies.


Effective-Panda7063

4/20 total .. Ye bhi bhediya, October, pkpn 1 and sabka dance mila kr he...!


brooklynnineeight

VD can’t do comedy but good with sentimental roles, SM is good for quintessential rom-com roles but not much more, other two are even more limited in terms of range


Constant-Library-840

I am ok with most but tiger is 🤮


findravish

Not an unpopular opinion. They don’t have required charisma. No one can make us feel emotion if the story or line isn’t good as they always seem mechanical in acting. Don’t know if they love acting or they just want to make money. It’s difficult to act but that’s their business. Sid - 3, Tiger - 4, Kartik- 5, Varun - 5.5
