As we did last year, this year also we bring for you our list of the Top 5 Actors of 2008. And how have we compiled the names… well by how well the boys have performed on-screen and within the hearts of the Bollywood cinema fans. Read on…
5. Abhishek Bachchan
Some people wouldn’t give him the light of day, they say he is only surviving in Bollywood because of his father. But in 2008, Abhishek Bachchan did show that he does indeed have talent and not just the acting gene. As in 2007, when he was applauded for his power-house performance in Guru, in 2008 it was the gay comedy Dostana that saved little B’s blushes.
4. Imran Khan
It’s not every day that you see a newcomer making the elusive Top 5 list of the best actors of the year, but this kid deserves to be here. Imran Khan came out of the shadow of his uncle Aamir Khan and created his own light in the magic that was Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na. Kidnap was not his type of role but then again he performed well. 2009 and beyond look good for Imy,
3. Aamir Khan
In 2007 he left it late, with the sensatively directed Taare Zameen Par, and in 2008 he did pretty much the same. When it comes to year-end reports and lists, Aamir Khan sure make the cut. Action personafied was Ghajini and Aamir was the man. What’s in store for 2009… Aamir probably becoming the new King of Bollywood.
2. Shah Rukh Khan
He only had one release in 2008 and that was the comedy romance Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, but it was more than enough to get him the second best actor slot of the year. Had he managed to get one more release, Shah Rukh Khan would indeed have become the best actor of 2008. But, once again… like last year, King Khan was pipped to the top slot by Kinng Kumar.
1. Akshay Kumar
For the second successive year, the lad from Punjab powers himself to the numero uno slot. One hit flick, one flop flick, but that was what was needed. One could say that Akshay Kumar probably got the number one slot more beause of the way his films are being promoted than his acting within them. A turn with Snopp Dogg, then rapper Bohemian, and news of him getting to grips with Stallone and Shwarzennegger… well what more do you need? No bets are being taken on Akki making it a hattrick next year.
Do you agree with Tony’s list of the best actors of 2008… do you agree with Akshay being number one again… or would you have picked someone else… whatever your thoughts we would love to read them… please use the comments section below to send them to us.

rab ne and ghajini are much bigger hits than singh is kinng,so how can u say akshay is ahead of srk and aamir?
a gudd rating accept AB Jr. ‘ s presence in the Top 5
I am not at all satisfied with Akshay Kumar being No. 1 – he has shown no acting this year that will justfy the 1. place. Akshay can be quite entertaining (I liked him e.g. in Welcome, Namaste London), but his acting-skills are not enough for No. 1(yet?).
Aamir Khan is quite on the right position at No. 2 or 3 and
No. ONE certainly should go to Shahrukh Khan for his performance in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi: it’s such a wonderful movie, that will stay with us for a long time.
srk is the no. 1 actor of 2008, even he was at no. 1 position in 2007. get ur facts right stupid tony.
first position is commonly shared by shahrukh & amir…der is no
akshay…….
akshay kumar was rightfully no.1. But aamir should be no.2, because gajni was way better than rab ne banadi jodi and his acting was superb
akshay iz no. 1
have u lost ur mind stupid tony.u’ve gone insane or wat? how dare u put akki on no.1 he is gud for nothing n by d way wat in the world made u put him on the no 1 spot, his flop of the year tashan or that over done singh is watever!!!the only one who is made for no .1 is king khan n we all very well know that it is SRK. this list of urs has really pissed me off!!!
I think Aamir should get the No 2 slot. Ghajini is a knockout film with fantastic performances by Aamir and Asin.
RNBDJ is pathetic and only showcases SRK in his usual ardent lover style which he only managed to get out of in portraying a Hockey Coachin YR hit last year.
how can you forgot to put Hrithik roshan in your list his performance in jodhaa akbar was amazing !!!
Aamir deserves the number one place followed by SRK and Akshay Kumar.
aamir & shahrukh were much better than akshay !!
Where’s Shahid Kapoor?? He had acted so well in KiKo…Shahid should has been at least 4th…
1.Shahrukh
2.Akshay
3.Aamir
4.Shahid
5.Imran
i think tony need a sychitrist.SRK should be no.1 bcoz his performance was in RNBD was outstanding.and akshay did only comedy in SIK,not gave a performance like best actor llike….SRK AND AMIR.and where is hrithik roshan?i think he deserves the place no .4.
akshay is 1
he is better than srk and aamir
How can u forgt abt HRITHIK ROSHAN wiz his outstanding performance in Jodha Akbar!!!!!! I think he shud b the top in this list, then SRK, Aamir.
akki is merely no.1 no doubt
but it is being so painful taht even now also some biggies
does not consider him in no. 1 and includes him in the cat race.
Singh is KING?????
KING KHAN???????
there is only 1 king who doesnt call
himself a king and that’s…..AAMIR KHAN
AAMIR IS KING
ya akki is no 1 no comments on that .
ya i agree on u akki is no 1
1. sharukh
2. Aamir
3. Hiritik
4. Akshay
5. Imran
Akki is alwayas number one.
Akki is a one actor in bollywood.
