Yes!! Actually it is an Acting Race, who acts the best? but do our bollywood actresses really have to race? Most almost 98% of our movies are complete male oriented. The full movie moving around the HERO, our actresses hardly get chance to prove their talent.
Wo kehete hain na ‘Dhoondne Se To Khuda Bhi Mil Jata hai’ Somehow I managed to find out my best five:
Gracie Singh – Hey!! Don’t you remember this Amaanat (serial on Zee TV) girl with Indian outfit, traditional grace, English name and universal smile? Yeah!! She is Gauri from Lagaan, I hope now at least you remember? I Just loved her beautiful smile, Graceful dances( Radha kaise na jale?) and perfect facial reactions of petty jealousy, happiness, eagerness, sadness, wow!! Even with so less dialogues, she could portray her role so well in this movie. It is a joy and fun to watch her as a young innocent village girl. Hey Gracie, we want more such good roles from you, Lagaan has been given, now you can come out of your hiding place. ;-)
Kajol – Yes, I am talking about that Black Beauty with big magnetic eyes and naughty smile. She not only has several smashing hits like ‘Dilwale dhulaniya le janenge’ and ‘Kuch kuch hota hai’ but also smashing flops like ‘Bekhudi’ and ‘Gundaraj’ but kajol remains unaffected and one of the best. I like her bubbly dances, cute face and funny acting in the movies. She has done not only romantic movies but also bold movies like ‘Gupt’ where she plays vileness and she has played the best.
Gracie, Kajol – where have you both disappeared? Please don’t just upset your fans like me do come back, and give us some more such good movies.
Tabu – One of the bold actress bollywood ever had. Though her first few films were a total flop but talent I guess never goes unnoticed. It did take her time but once in there was no looking back. She has proved to be a versatile actress with several different kind of roles (which cannot be forgotten) like in ‘Machis’ - terrorist, ‘Biwi no 1’- a typical Punjabi house wife, ‘virasat’ - simple village girl, ‘Astitva’ - a family lady, ‘chandani bar’ – a bar girl . So be it comedy, serious, bold or simple She has matched up in performance in every role she has been offered.
Madhuri - You guessed it right Mrs Madhuri NeNe. One of the most gracious and beautiful dancer bollywood has ever had remember ‘mera piya ghar aya’, ‘ek do teen’, ‘choli ke peeche’, ‘dola re dola mann dola’ yeah! She has the best dancing talent. Acted in several hit movies, just to name a few ‘Hum aapke hain kaun?’, ‘Tezaab’, ’Devdas’ where she has acted her best and kept the movie alive.
Aishwarya – Yes sadly enough every beauty pageant won model turn to be actress in bollywood!! But how many actually proves to be real actress? With ‘Hum dil de chuke sanam’, ‘Taal’ and ‘Devdas’ she proved that she can be one of the best actress bollywood was looking for. I guess aishwarya rai is one of those who have proved to be a beauty with brains and acting talent.
No doubt all five of them can carry the entire film on their shoulders and the film may be hit or flop their acting will be just as best as ever. Keep coming in more bold and challenging roles, would definitely love to see you all in different type of roles. Three cheers to all five of you!! We all want to see more such good stuff from you.
All The Best!!
P.S: This is my personal choice of best five, which may definitely not be your best. Do send in your valuable comments if I was able to do justice in describing why I feel these to be my best 5. ;-)
