Equa, this one's for you.
We talked about how Amitji in his masala mode appealed to you more - besides a body of untouchable work prior to it - but to me, Amitji in his masala mode days loses out badly.
Let's take romance - one can perhaps have subjective views on the overt, male-centric, masalaic, "I am God so I am not surprised you love and lust for me" mode of romance; say "gora rang kala na pad jaaye" vs "kaaLa kaaLa" - but gentle, run of the mill romance (during his masala says) in a like for like comparison, to me, completely eliminates Amitji as competition. Take for instance, netRikaNN. In a role that is dwarfed in front f the over-the-top chakravarthy, in a lose-lose situation, Rajini conjures up a few magic moments in Ramanin Mohanam. Forget the ultra stylish hand-in-pockets style of kaadhalin dheepam ondru, this one defines Rajini romance for me.
Watch out for the almost innocent, in-the-moment magic as he plays a overt hide-and-seek, the expressions and body language he conjures up as he sways in and out of the heroine's view behind a tree that hardly conceals him - the point of it being the little-nothingness of the gesture and moment - these are moments that cannot be Bacchan. Think Bachcan in his focussed soft romantic roles - kabhie kabhie, barsaat ki ek raat and the other one with rakhee and vinod mehra - in roles written to bring his chops on romance, bacchan just manages generic expressions. This is just one facet but I am sure I will be able to capture more in other facets as I re-catch more of 80s rajini.(Purely comparing masalaic stuff). And this in a rajini role that was purely functional, and perhaps was barely written. See the point?
Besides, he conjures up all these for...
...Menaka!
Just no comparison, I say, as an actor, with Amitji.
I really feel that the overall "betterness" of Amitji's masala movies in comparison to the respective direct remakes with Rajini made with inferior directors, tends to cloud people's judgement when they compare him with Amitji. If one cares to look slighlty beneath the surface, Amitji is just no competition.

IMHO, Amitab was quite over hyped those days, he had two advantages over other actors, they were his height and his voice, apart from that he was an 'OK' actor!
Rajni is a Much Much Much better actor than him.
Mithun Chakaraborti was one fine 'underated' actor of Bollywood during the BIG B era, he was the 'ICON' of disco dancing, he had a cult following him (mainly females )!
funny scene in baasha.
