Most recently I happened to watch Special 26 of Akshay Kumar. I felt that as a fine actor, he has improved a lot. He is flexible to handle serious and comedy roles as well as romantic ones. Though his movies are not making money at box office nowadays, he is one of the ruling superstars at present. Same is the case of Saif Ali Khan too, though he still has to travel miles.
Who is best, Akshay or Saif? Both these actors reached Bollywood in the early 1990's and struggled throughout the era playing romantic cards as well as multi-star action movies. They together worked in movies like Yeh Dillagi, Keemat, Tashan, Arzoo, Mein khiladi Tu Anari and Tu chor mein sipayi. With the middle 2000's, both became established actors of Bollywood, placed behind Khans and Hrithik.
So, in the past 20 years or so, Akshay has improved a lot. My vote goes to Akshay. What about you?

My measuring rod to gauge any actor is his excellence in Histrionics. When it comes to Histrionics, Saif has an edge over Akshay. In my view Akshay is still an action movie star. Where as Saif is both.
So, my favorite star is Saif ali khan.

At least one supporter of Saif.
so, can you please explain how you measure him in terms of Histrionics? am eager to know

By his facial expressions in tune with the script. By his appropriate and balanced movements. Acting is always defined as " A bit of under acting:' is considered as the right way to portray a role. Famous example is Dilip Kumar. Any acting that orients towards 'Over acting" is not acting. Akshay lacks in this and always tends towards over acting. And his facial expressions are not as varied as Saif.

Hahaha
i thought it's because he don't know how to act or reflect emotions. After all, Indian movies and tear jerking and over emotional

Both have a different style of acting but Akshay Kumar comes out shining ahead of Saif. Saif has been able to prove his mettle in only a very few movies such as Hum Tum, Dil Chahta Hai etc. whereas Akshay Kumar has done really great in action as well as comedy movies. He has a good sense of timing for comedy and is undoubtedly the best action star currently in the Bollywood. So my votes goes for Akshay!
Both are good.. And yes both have seen bad times in past.. As a better actor, even my vote goes for Akshay, as he can do all type of roles. Yes his films are not doing well in terms of money right now but still I enjoy his movies.
I feel Akhsay Kumar is a better actor than Saif Ali Khan. I have seen Akshay Kumar acting as a comedian, action hero, Recently I have seen his few films like entertainment, Rowdy Rathore which were superb.

Have u watched Holiday??? I liked very much.....and wanted my hubby too, to c it. But as he doesn't understand Hindi, we choose to see the original Tamil movie of Vijay - Thupakki. But we couldn't suffer it at least for an hour.....So, I have saved a Akshay Kumar version with English subtitles for him.....

I am a south Indian and so I do not know much about Bollywood actors. But when I was a teenager, I watched some movies of Akshay Kumar and so I can say that He is a very capable actor. But I couldn't watch any movies of Safe Ali Khan. I think that he is one of the new actors of Bollywood. Now I am a home maker and mother of three children. I cannot spend time to watch a movie in my own language also.
