Katrina and Top Ten Actresses in Bollywood today


Bookmark and Share

Not a part of any rat race, she says. Off the record, however, every actress competes with another.

They all vie for the same roles/magazine covers/fashion trends. They all covet a movie with the Khans. They all love to outdo the other in a sizzling item song.

In Bollywood's world of cutthroat rivalry, every actor wants to break another's record at opening a movie whereas every actress is aiming for the number one spot.


Kareena Kapoor

Currently, Kareena Kapoor is the reigning queen of box office and beyond. Things are going great guns for the A-lister what with all her recent releases (3 Idiots, BodyguardGolmaal ReturnsRa.One) turning out to be record-breaking propositions and a wax statue at Madame Tussauds.

Katrina Kaif

Katrina Kaif comes a close second with her steady contribution of successes (Zindagi Na Milegi DobaraMere Brother Ki Dulhan).
While the top two of Bollywood's top 10 heroines is easy to predict, what about the rest?

There's much speculation about which leading ladies should fill the slots from 3 to 10. So here it is, dear readers, a list of eligible candidates to pick from in this wild game of numbers and ranking.

Priyanka Chopra

Priyanka Chopra
Strengths: Attractive? Check. Ambitious? Check. Confident? Check. Powerful screen presence? Check.

Weakness: Inconsistent. Her performances fluctuate from dazzling to drab. Tends to go overboard in incapable hands.

Coming soonDon 2, Agneepath, Teri Meri Kahaani, Barfee, Krrish 2.

Vidya Balan

Vidya Balan
Strengths: The intelligent viewer's numero uno, Vidya has both -- the courage to experiment and the skill to amaze.

Weakness: Her disinterest in catering to conventional heroine stereotype limits her fan base to an extent.

Coming soon: The Dirty Picture, Kahaani.

Deepika Padukone

Deepika Padukone
Strengths: Smoking hot body, super professional attitude and an eagerness to make most of her favourable position in the industry today.

Weakness: 
Unless dimples are declared a substitute for bland performances, Deepika remains an utterly ordinary actress.

Coming soon: Desi Boyz, Cocktail, Race 2.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan
Strengths: The renowned beauty is a terrific dancer and a disciplined star. Clearly, Ash has everything it takes to be true Bollywood royalty.

Weakness: More often than not her performances leave a lot to be desired. Moreover, with a baby on the way, the 38-year-old is going to be out of action for a while. 

Coming soon: None.

Sonam Kapoor

Sonam Kapoor
Strengths: There's a lot of old world charm to be found in her ethereal face and subdued charms. Don't be fooled by her doe-eyed allure. The Kapoor girl can convincingly flitter between a gentle Jane to stylish Susan from movie to movie. 

Weakness: The fashionista overshadows the actress.

Coming soon: Players, Bhaag Milkha Bhaag.

Asin

Asin
Strengths: The spontaneous and chirpy import from South has cool comic timing. More importantly, two of the three Hindi films she's starred in turned out to be massive blockbusters, namely Ghajini and Ready.

Weakness: Asin's shtick is getting tiresome and monotonous. It's time the girl spiced things up a little.

Coming soon: Housefull 2, Bol Bachchan.

Kangna Ranaut

Kangna Ranaut
Strengths: Just when you thought you've got her all figured out, Kangna takes you by surprise. From forceful to funny to flippant, she's done it all.

Weakness: Needs to work really hard on her ghastly dialogue delivery.

Coming soon: I Love New Year, Tezz.

Anushka Sharma

Anushka Sharma
Strengths: Her bubbly appeal and candid fervor fills the void created by Preity Zinta's extended absence.

Weakness: Uh oh, which means she's heading towards stereotypeville.

Coming soon: Ladies VS Ricky Bahl, Matru Ki Biwi Ka Mann Dola.

Bipasha Basu

Bipasha Basu
Strengths: An ever-raging hotness quotient. Even after a decade in Bollywood, Bips is turning heads with her blazing bikini style in the Playersteaser.

Weakness: 
Hasn't delivered a solid or solo hit in a long, long time.

Coming soon: 
Players, Race 2.

Sonakshi Sinha

Sonakshi Sinha
Strengths: Only one film old, Sonakshi's proved her worth as the chip of the Sinha block with her solid screen presence and capability to deliver lines.

Weakness: 
Breaking out from the gaon-ki-gori image, after an impressive turn as Rajjo, might not be that easy.

Coming soon:
 Rowdy Rathore,Joker, Son of Sardar, Dabangg 2.

Kalki Koechlin

Kalki Koechlin
Strengths: Cute and clever is a winning combo. And the adorable Kalki's proved her versatility with an impressive range of roles from Dev D toZindagi Na Milegi Dobara.

Weakness: Has yet to prove her mettle outside urban, contemporary fare. 

Coming soon: Shanghai.  

Genelia D'Souza

Genelia D'Souza
Strengths: Stocked with an unending supply of effervescence, Genelia is the proverbial Ms Sunshine. Her palpable energy and disarming disposition injects life in random, one-dimensional roles.

Weakness: Stuck in Aditi's shoes. Find a new pair, Gen!

Coming soon: 
Hook Ya Crook, Tere Naal Ho Gaya, Rock The Shaadi.
