We’re living in exciting times. The last ten years has been nothing short of a miracle, where filmmakers have been allowed to take risks and tell exciting stories. The biggest catalyst here is the audience. The viewer even has gone to the levels of rejecting the lesser made films to pass on the message that anything that’s mediocre, will not be tolerated. The biggest benefactors of these times are the actors. The actors, both male and female have lapped up the opportunities to showcase their talents. They are not shackling themselves or confining themselves under any kind of boundaries. Better scripts, exciting storylines are allowing them to explore beyond their crafts.
We, at The Cinemawala, delved deep into the Hindi films of the last decade and came up with some of the greatest performances. This list talks about the twenty-five greatest performances of male actors in Hindi cinema in the last ten years. Performances cannot be ranked but we’ve attempted to do so, looking at the impact the actor has created through his performance.
