NDTV brings you a massive opinion poll in a special show with Dr Prannoy Roy, every night at 9 pm from Monday, August 27 to Friday, August 31.

Along with lots of questions on politics, we asked: Who are India's five greatest actors of all time? Panelist Shekhar Gupta chose Amitabh Bachchan, Rajinikanth, MGR and Dev Anand. Commentator Swapan Dasgupta listed Amitabh Bachchan, Rajinikanth and Shah Rukh Khan.

And you chose: At #5, Dilip Kumar, star of sweeping epics like Mughal-E-Azam and tragic romances like Devdas. At #4, Shah Rukh Khan, the modern day Devdas and generally considered the successor to Dilip Kumar's legacy of stylized performances. At #3, Salman Khan, currently burning up the box office with Ek Tha Tiger, his fourth blockbuster in a row. At #2, Aamir Khan, arguably Bollywood's most versatile actor, equally at ease playing an Idiot and a pre-Independence village hero.

And, at the very top, Amitabh Bachchan. Once the Angry Young Man of Bollywood, Mr Bachchan is the only actor of his generation to still be appearing in lead roles today. His career spans four decades and over 180 films, and includes three National Awards. Two of Mr Bachchan's most memorable films have been retold anew this year: Hrithik Roshan took over his famous role as Vijay Dinanath Chauhan in Agneepath, and Telugu star Ram Charan Teja has been cast as honest cop Vijay Khanna in Zanjeer.
