Heroes -- My Observations....

HINDI:

Stage I:
Acts in any film that comes his way.
If he gets a film with good songs, the film clicks, he is accepted as an actor.

Stage II:
Keeps on repeatedly doing the same genre of films with hairline difference in the story, until he becomes stereotyped, the audience gets fed up and no more accepts him in such roles.

Stage III:
Tries changing tracks, if successful will repeat step II.

Stage IV:
Then he is forgotten, say till the age of about 50-60, when he is remembered again and conferred with "Life Time Achievement Award" by Filmfare.
THE END.



MALAYALAM:

Stage I:
*Acts in films that kind of generates a sympathy for the actor...he suffers a lot, lives for his family, is always ditched by others and generates an "IO PAAVAM" like feeling.
*Continues the same genre of movies till he finds a place in the audience's heart.

Stage II:
He then switches over to Macho-roles, his moustache turns the other way, and does things that are good to fantasize.

Stage III:
Mostly ends up doing elderly characters -- father, grandfather.....



TAMIL:

Stage I:
Almost similar to Malayalam. Acts in a few movies, mainly romantic initially.
Plays similar roles, mostly beaten by 2-3 lean villains, tries to generate the same "IO PAAVAM" like feelings.

Stage II:
Once accepted by the audience, he then switches over to super-hero type roles, wherein he is now capable of beating 10-15 bulk villains may be with just one finger.

Stage III:
Continues doing this...

Stage IV:
Maybe politics..

NOTE:
1. Exceptions are there.
2. Read - all above-mentioned actors are good actors.
