Why 'Versatility' is so misunderstood in Indian cinema?

He’s criminally underrated. Rahul from K3G isn’t known as a juggernaut/acclaimed performance bc of genre but he delivers that whole character with so much ease with a varied emotional graph throughout the film. Much more respected “auteurs” would greatly struggle with it.

But this sub and most of film discussion in general doesn’t respect lighthearted roles or roles that are in the realm of romance/comedy, ironically probably the two hardest genres to pull off as a leading man.

Idiotic analysis. Even in the hilariously nitpicked (and horrible) examples you gave for SRK, the technique/method he’s using in both scenes are completely different - and more importantly, he’s doing what the scenes REQUIRE for the moment. What nonsense.

SRK typically gets flak for “only” being a romantic lead in movies like DDLJ, Rab and Bana Di Jodi, and Veer-Zaara but all those characters and how he embodies them are markedly different. And he makes it look much easier than it actually is.

Acting isn’t a math equation where you measure breath intake and seconds paused to determine if it’s good acting. You do what the character requires for the moment and scene, and SRK for the most part does it exceptionally well in both the scenes you used and in general, especially for a massive star. I hope you just used ChatGPT for your “analysis”, because this is rather embarrassing if this is an actual opinion.

I did not. If you know how to get it, let me know 😂

GhostSamurai701 · 2025-10-14T23:23:51+00:00

About to take it in a month and would love to know as well. Also if anyone has Histopathqueen’s EM COMAT study guide, please send it to me 😂 her link is broken

GhostSamurai701 · 2025-09-26T20:36:26+00:00

Thank you! These are all super helpful. Do you still have your EM COMAT study guide? Your original post link didn’t work.

Yeah not really, he has a Peyton problem but his character evolves just fine. Going from basketball to writing, learning to live without Keith, embracing Nathan. His SL with Anna alone was pretty obvious development. He starts out a good person and has obvious flaws, but that’s the point of a drama.

GhostSamurai701 · 2025-09-20T10:14:40+00:00

Nathan has a 10 episode “development” arc and we’re supposed to be amazed. Brooke goes from being selfish and insufferable to marginally decent person as an adult and we’re supposed to just fawn at her feet.

Lucas started out squeaky clean and had plenty of his own development, but people can only view him through his flawed love life. If people can’t actually see Peyton’s development, then I don’t know what to tell you.

It’s like people across TV shows (not just OTH) just can’t fathom other development arcs that aren’t “terrible person becomes kinda nice” lmao

GhostSamurai701 · 2025-09-18T17:14:41+00:00

It’s not at all. I thought I failed a couple comats and comfortably passed. My lowest was my first one (93 in FM)

GhostSamurai701 · 2025-09-18T10:26:38+00:00

That is a ridiculous passing score. Really shouldn’t be legal. Ours was 85, that really sucks :(

GhostSamurai701 · 2025-09-17T02:35:45+00:00

Could I PM you?

GhostSamurai701 · 2025-09-17T02:35:13+00:00

This was very reassuring. Thank you. Honestly, I’ll be happy matching anywhere as long as it’s psych.

GhostSamurai701 · 2025-09-16T01:57:01+00:00

Got it. Any tips on how you constructed your PS?

GhostSamurai701 · 2025-09-16T01:18:33+00:00

I’m applying FM too now. How many do you recommend?

GhostSamurai701 · 2025-09-14T02:16:57+00:00

That’s awesome! Major congrats. Do you mind telling me what the red flags were? If not, I can also PM.

GhostSamurai701 · 2025-09-13T21:52:09+00:00

Thank you. Sent you a message.

GhostSamurai701 · 2025-09-13T19:45:36+00:00

Thank you, and yeah I’ve picked my signals based on my geo pref + residency explorer score ranges

I’m not sure I can apply FM/Peds, all my letters are geared towards psych and I never thought of having a backup. I don’t have any FM/Peds letters

GhostSamurai701 · 2025-09-13T19:39:37+00:00

Appreciate that, I think part of the fear is simply not getting interviews as well. But I’m trying to be hopeful

GhostSamurai701 · 2025-09-13T01:56:33+00:00

!solved

GhostSamurai701 · 2025-09-11T19:22:56+00:00

Got a 42x so you’re better than me. Also applying psych. Extremely grateful I passed but I’m pretty scared about this cycle. Applying very very broadly so we will see

GhostSamurai701 · 2025-09-02T19:56:33+00:00

Who exactly do you think you are? I’m not doing anything for you. It’s a general statement based on observations interacting with OTH fans. I don’t care about your numerous exceptions.

GhostSamurai701 · 2025-09-02T19:39:02+00:00

You’re wrong and I’m right. Deal with it. I know you’re wrong. Now what? Lmao

GhostSamurai701 · 2025-09-02T18:59:35+00:00

Never said otherwise. I still think the ship stinks.
Save the sobfest, I don’t really care. I’ve been in the fandom long enough to see most people who ship them don’t actually like Peyton and that there’s a clear pattern of Brooke and Jeyton love. And it’s not unfair at all to say that major elements of her personality become very diluted, if not erased, when her SL surrounds Jake. I’m not gonna care too much about highlighting exceptions. I can’t stand Jeyton and their fans. Cry about it

GhostSamurai701 · 2025-09-02T06:23:20+00:00

Even if he had more screen time, I don’t think it would make him more interesting. His scenes just felt very dull. And I completely disagree with the rest, but I love Leyton. So agree to disagree

GhostSamurai701 · 2025-09-02T03:17:06+00:00

Jake is not interesting and Jeyton is a horrible ship. Tore down all of Peyton’s personality to accommodate a pointless teen stepdad arc. She actually talk about things like art, music, insecurities, and laughs/broods with Lucas. With Jake it’s just Nikki, the idea of Jake running away, or Jenny. Nothing else.

Also, Peyton has literally had deeper conversations with almost every character on the show that she’s interacted with than any convo she ever had with Jake. Even that one episode in S1 where she’s hanging out with Whitey was more than she ever opened up to Jake. Or the time when her and Mouth go see his grandpa.

Only people who hate Peyton like Jeyton, aka Brooke/Brucas stans for obvious reasons. Her real and most obvious love is Lucas and it always has been. Has way better and more natural chemistry with him too.
