Pura naam, Vijay Dinanath Chauhan, baap ka naam, Dinanath Chauhan, Maa ka naam, Suhasini Chauhan, Gaon Mandwa. Umar Chatiis saal - Agneepath(2)

Basically this kinda shows us that most of Amit's memorable lines are from Deewar and Agneepath....and interestingly these two were voted as his best performances...put 2 and 2 together.


Amit/Jaya or Amit/Rekha (surprisingly close ...)
Amit/Jaya(6) ... Jaya u can relax now ... freaks have given the verdict
Amit/Rekha(4) ... Rekha ... too bad ... u r 2nd in line in the polls too ... but we guys are still hungry :-)))

Comedy/Drama or Angry
Angry(7) - lots of reasons given for this ... emergency ... unemployment ... frustration of the common man ... all these factors made him a superstar ... but the generation after that also chooses him and shows it was not just a phase ... it was the sheer brilliance on the man's part
Comedy(1) - we lost an actor with brilliant comic timing to this whole angry young man wave ...
All of the above(1) - its a poll ... choose one Yatin!!!

Which wud u have liked to see him in (some very very interesting ones in here):
Oskar Schindler(1)
Robert De Niro in Taxi Driver(1)
Andy Dufrene(1)
Godfather(1) - did a similar thing in sarkar ... but amit doing the original role would have been something else ... cos with due respect to RGV ... he is still no Coppola
Tyler Durden(1)
Gladiator(1) - Interesting choice bhaiyya.
Judah Ben Hur(1)
Jeffrey Lebowski(1) - hahahahahahaha ... good un Lookateem
Dustin Hoffman in Rain Man(1)
Al Pacino in Scarface(1) - KK has done it again...thought it was done in Agneepath!

Could he have taken on Hollywood
Definitely(9)
No(1) (Bhaiyaa's acting Lucifer here :-) )

Funniest role:
Chupke Chupke(6) - main jo keheta hu woh samjati hai ki tum keh rahe ho ... keheta main hi hu ... keheta main hi hu ... lekin woh tum jo main hu aur woh main jo tum ho ... woh main jo main ...(CLASSIC!)
AAA(3) - aisa to aadmi do ich baar bhagta hai life me, olympic race ho police ka chase ho ... tum kis ke liye bhagta hai bhai
Namak Halal(1) - Nice one Strikant ... easy to forget that one

Voice/Dialogue or On screen persona:
