i have not analysed the peromances like a critic but only bought out those inherent qualities of these actresses that I have noticed
there have been a lot of revs written on this so ill try to give it a diif blend of flavour
The Woman is such a forceful personality in movies the hero is prepared to lay down his life for the heroine and it makes sense that the potrayal of the character is forceful
The ability to emote without going over the top is so bvery crucial lots of acresses tend to emote then required........
A good actress can be subltle and convey more ....The ability to let even silence speak is the hallmark of a good actresss...................
1 Kajol
No surprises here............................
Shes one actress who can speak with her eyes
remember the train scene in DDLJ AND KUCH KUCH HOTA HAI ??
and the best scene in my opinion is the climax of KKHH
I CAN STILL REMEMBER HER STANDING ON THE stairs looking at sharukh with despair in her eyes her facial expressions spoke for her
brilliant .................and she stopped acting at the peak best way to go
shes so beliavable ....so real no fancy make up and her face is so expressive .....
she is not as gorgeous as ash or sush but she makes up by sheer acting talent ...
pros
expressive face
earthy beauty
her looks can kill
no over the top perfomances
top perfomances :: DDLJ KKHH KKKG DUSHMAN SAPNAY
2 tabu
falls in the same league as kajol .......
expressive and emotive and subtle too
she was excellent in maqbool and very good in maachis
to me she looks great in a salwar kameez rather than a glamorous outfit
there is this earthy quality to her acting.......
it makes u believe ................no over the top and her face is a mixture of emotions.............. vulnerable yet strong ...
pros
she looks very vulnerable
she gets into the skin of the chararter .....
probably reminds me of meryl streep
Top Perf : maqbool Maachis
3 Sridevi
she had it all the chirphy look great looks solid talent and expressive face
she was a powerhouse ...........................
seh slipped into a variey of roles
a demure girl a traditional woman a modern woman a woman of substance an action heroine a mentally challenged girl you name it a glamourous theif u name it shes played it with conviction need I say more ? shs played it all ................
I dont need to say more .. I Call Her the Queen BEE after Hema Malini ....
pros
same as tabu
capacity to overshadow the hero thats the mark of a superior actress....

4 Mumtaz
The first Original Female Superstar Had all the makings
Comedy tragedy drama you name it shs done it
Formed A Hit Pair With Anotehr Superstar ......... it was magic I Have Only Seen Few Of her but she had that powerful screen presence
shes the actress who has been underrated for reasons I cannot make out...
the first real female superstar .........
5 Rani Mukherjee
I havent seen black yet but her perfomance moved me !!!!!
Remember Sanjeev Kumar And Jaya B in Koshish ....?
iT WAS AS GOOD AS THOSE PERFOMANCES....
sHE HAS THAT KAJOL QUALITY NOT A DROP DEAD BEAUTY BUT THE KIND U CAN TAKE HOME TO AND INTRODUCE TO UR MUM..
Her Voice modulation needs to improve though
shes got good screen presence exprssive eyes and an equally emotive personality ..... and good chemisrty witrh all her co actors ........
that is such an imp factor
top Perf : black , KKHH, saathiya
I would also like to mention a powerhouse actress called Shabhana Azmi
sHE IS ONE ACTRESS WHO DESERVES THE STATUS THAT AMITABH BACHCHAN
SHE HAS ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL PRESENCES I HAVE EVER SCENE
HAS THE ABILITY TO MATCH HER MALE CO STAR PERFOMACES AND EXCEED WAHT DO I SAY ABOUT HER SHES BRILLIANT IF SHE WAS IN COMMERCIAL CINEMA I THINK SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN ACCORDED THE SUPERSTAR STATUS THAT HAS BEEN GIVEN TO THE BIG B
Her expressions are brilliant, She like kajol does not need to go over the top she has that smouldering fire presence the kind that will sweep you up....
Top Perf ALL HER MOVIES NO QUAESTION ABOUT IT...
