I think Rajesh was a better actor than Amit, because acting is about emoting the scene well, however amit scored ahead of rajesh because the trend changed and he was better in comedy where rajesh lacked and thus each to his own, the charisma which rajesh carried cannot be challenged by anyone, even the new

The old classic, I shall take old movies era of the then super star Rajesh Khanna and onwards. The movies at that time were based upon the story and the subject in that movie. Movie with the touching story were generally accepted by the audience. Another major factor for a hit movie was the songs. Acting was not one of the biggest factors at that time.
Rajesh Khanna the then super star had a number of blockbuster in his belt, but I must say that most of them were not due to his acting, these were due to the b est ever songs mainly sung by Kishore Kumar. The singers of that time like Mohammad Rafi, Lata Mangeshtar, Ash Bhosle and above all Kishore Kumar had been the major factor behind the then industry's success.
But the trend was given a great change towards acting by Amitabh Bachchan. His manly moves and rough and tough styles had been adopted by many people in and outside the industry. He, in my opinion is the first man who really introduced the individual male hero.
