As fans were reminded of the actor’s most cherished film, Twitter users weighed in with their opinions about SRK’s best, worst, underrated, and most overrated films and tweeted about them.

So, let’s have a look at the verdict of Twitteratis with regard to the filmography of some of the bigwigs of Bollywood and the South Indian Film Industry:
1. Shah Rukh Khan
People are not only his fans for his movies but also for his humility, wit, and charm. Om Shanti Om starrer Shah Rukh Khan is one such actor who makes you fall in love with the person that he is.
SRK has been ruling hearts for over 35 years now!! With more than a hundred films in his kitty. Shah Rukh (considered one of the best 10 male Bollywood actors ) has been a part of some of the best movies in the Indian Film Industry.
The internet was divided on their opinions about his best and worst films but was pretty unanimous about the most underrated and overrated film. Have a look

2. Allu Arjun
Tollywood superstar and Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo starrer Allu Arjun has been a part of more than 20 films but it’s only with his 2021 release Pushpa: The Rise that he earned pan – India superstardom!
The actor is full of swag and has a unique style statement. From those twenty movies close to seven movies have been part of the 100 crore club in the Tollywood Film Industry.
Without a doubt, Pushpa (nominee of the best South Indian movies list) emerged as his best film, and his 2010 film, directed by Gunasekhar, Varudu, was the least favourite choice and emerged at the top of the list of his bad films!

Background dancer turned one of the top actors of his time! That’s Shahid Kapoor’s career in as few words as possible.
The hottest Bollywood actor Shahid Kapoor (recently seen in the Farzi web series) is the OG chocolate boy who tried to change his image with movies like Kaminey and Kabir Singh .

5. Mahesh Babu
National crush of India Ghattamaneni Mahesh Babu (showcased his eye-gluing acting skills in the Maharshi movie), aka Prince has been called lovingly by his fans since his debut in the year 1999.

6. Prabhas
Venkata Satyanarayana Prabhas Raju Uppalapati or ‘Prabhas ‘ as he came to be known since his debut with the Telugu action drama film, ‘Eeshwar’.
Every actor has at least one movie that proves to be life-changing for him and that movie for Prabhas was SS Rajamouli’s Baahubali series.
Baahubali saw success like no other Indian movie had seen till then! It carved a path for more and more South Indian movies to reach cinemagoers throughout the nation and worldwide.
As one would expect, the Baahubali series is touted as his best film, and ‘Radhe Shyam’ , his film with Pooja Hegde was chosen as his worst film.
Prabhas will next be seen in Project K alongside Deepika Padukone and Amitabh Bachchan.

7. Ranveer Singh
Band Baaja Baaraat debutant Ranveer Singh has a very diverse filmography.
In his 12-year-long career, he has played the bad guy Allaudin Khilji, a passionate lover in Ram Leela and Bajirao Mastani , a struggling rapper Murad Ahmed, a cop in Simmba and appreciably more, yet it feels like he has just begun!
He seems to be going through a lull right now as his latest release ‘Cirkus ’ emerged as the top choice for his worst film to date.
8. Dhanush
Why this Kolaveri D, a song that made the entire nation sing along to its tune in 2011, and phenomenal movies like Aadukalam, VIP, Asuran, Maari, etc… have one thing in common. Yes, it’s none other than the Tollywood Superstar Dhanush.
Vaathi Starrrer Dhanush has been consistently redefining his identity as an actor by playing diverse roles and his out-of-the-box choices. He used his talent to shut down people who body-shamed him about his looks.
Today, it’s hard to wrap your head around how far he has come as an actor but here he is two decades later included among the top actors of both Bollywood and Tollywood.
Take a look at what is the best, worst, overrated, and underrated movie:

9. Ranbir Kapoor
Contender of the top 10 richest Bollywood actors , Ranbir Kapoor belongs to the fifth generation of superstars from Bollywood’s first family, the Kapoor Khandaan. He is blessed with unmatched talent and tremendously expressive eyes!!
His debut film, ‘Sawaariya ’, didn’t meet the mammoth expectations that it was burdened with.
Nonetheless, he has done some great work and has an interesting filmography with films like ‘Wake Up Sid ’, ‘Rockstar ’, ‘Rajneeti ’, ‘Brahmastra ’, and ‘Sanju ’ in addition to his other notable performances.
Other Ranbir Kapoor Movies:
10. Ram Charan
Chiranjeevi’s son and Rangasthalam starrer Ram Charan have captivating hearts with his stellar performances and magnetism for over fifteen years now!
If you take a close look at his filmography, you won’t find back-to-back similar movies. He made a conscious choice to keep his films distinct and unique.
Fans call him ‘Mega Power Star Ram Charan ‘ and we couldn’t agree more! He is the apt representation of these words with his mega-stardom all over India post the release of RRR.
