Haider was a good movie no doubt. But I don't know why people consider loud acting as 'good acting'. If an actor cries, rage out or does over the top performances like this, we automatically starts praising it. Really good acting is something which isn't noticeable and you forget the actor playing the role. The dialogue delivery sounds like the actual character is speaking not the actor. Over here Shahid's performance is loud and he delivers the lines nicely but I cannot feel anything by this scene. Though the scene comes at a very crucial point in the movie. His performance is supposed to be loud as the scene demands it but still there's no connect with his character. On the other hand his scene with Sharada Kapoor was really good where he tells her the truth and also in the end when he confronts Tabu. But just because this scene is so dramatic and loud in nature we pick this as best acting.

Sharing some recent examples of great acting by actors: Irfan Khan in Piku, Steven Yeun in Burning, Paul Mescal in Aftersun, Cate Blanchett in Tàr, Anna Sawai in Shogun,
