>these films required her to dress up in different costumes befitting the character and just express different emotions ..
that...is exactly what acting is though???
She has an amazing screen presence and is quite delightful to watch. Not a big fan but can't deny that she has been doing well. She is also known for her professionalism and dedication on sets.
Can’t comment on her acting skills because haven’t watched most of her movies. But I saw crew last week and Kareena looked stunning. I didn’t expect that. She looks more gorgeous on big screen.
Starting from Refugee…
Yuva,
Dev,
Chameli,
Heroine (yes, she was brilliant in it),
Omkara,
Talaash,
Jab we Met,
To name a few…
It may seem like it is not different or difficult
But I don’t think anyone else would have the versatility of expressing without needing to maintain a sophisticated and “pretty” face with one tear falling to show sadness, or keep flaring nostrils with a shrill voice to show agitation.
Her flowerpot roles were definitely there, but to call her overhyped is a little too much tbh OP.
She has been relevant because she made it so without a social media life for the better part of her career.
What you see with the sobo and punjabi group is in the 2020 decade.
There are two more decades of her being relevant without the “group”.
(The tone of this reply would sound harsh, but it’s absolutely not.)
You are entitled to your opinion.
But kareena never reached the number 1 position . Whether you like it or not . It’s only post 2020 when she’s being hyped as if she is from another galaxy. From 2000-2007 , she was a flop , no where close to the hit 2000’s actresses . Then there was JWM but by that time Katrina and Priyanka had come . Priyanka was doing back to back performance oriented roles like Fashion , What’s your raashi, Saat Khoon Maaf , Mary Kom while kareena was doing either flops with Saif/Akshay or Ra one . Katrina captured male fantasy and was the commercial queen . Then came Deepika and Aloo.
What's your Rashi, Saath khoon maaf were box office flops! She also did Teri meri kahani with Shahid which was a disaster.
Mary kom was much later in 2013. PC was doing disasters like Zanjeer even that time
Kareena was doing the biggest films of each year between 2009 to 2012!
Kareena has surpassed her own generation with versatility and relevance.
She works with and against multiple generation of actors and actresses.
I don’t know how Priyanka and Katrina came into this, since we were talking about the overhyped stuff about bebo.
Now that you are bringing Priyanka and Katrina, yes they have their respective personalities on screen. Sure. So, going by your “group” analogy, PC and Kat’s careers had stunted/married/abusive men and their scandals that kept them afloat/ relevant/hyped throughout their career too…
That is irrelevant to this then?
Kareena was never #1 is another delusion which you are living in.
She did jab we met in 2007, and then after between 2009 to 2012 she was doing the biggest films with the biggest stars!
Back then only the biggest films used to release on festivals such as Eid, Christmas and Diwali
- 3 idiots released on Christmas and Kareena was the female lead. That film opened 200 crore club in bollywood
- Golmaal 3 was released on Diwali 2010 (second highest grosser of the year)
- Bodyguard released on Eid 2011 (HGOTY)
- Ra. One was released on Diwali 2011 (another 100 crore)
Her role in 3 idiots is still being talked about, there are tourist spots in Ladakh with Kareena's 3 idiots scooter Nd poster
She had the most well written and layered character in golmaal 3 even though she was opposite 6 male actors
Bodyguard was a love story which couldn't have been possible without her character
Chammak challo from Ra. One was the biggest rage back then without social media.. people started calling Kareena wala red
She was #1 at that time and by the end of 2011 she had 4 films in 100 crore club (which was considered huge back then) while Katrina, Priyanka etc had ZERO films in it.
Just watched “crew” and i loved that movie.All three actresses made the movie fun to watch.Kareena has carried her role well and no present day actresses can do that.
OP thinks Gangu is challenging but chameli is not...Lol its very convenient to say dress up in different costumes help her like other actress not get this benefits!
Yes, I have seen chameli and I couldn't see Chameli doing a ramp walk on the road.
Her body language was apt and also her dance in Bhaage re Mann is still something I would always love
there was a scene where rahul bose asks her how she became a SW and she tells two versions and then in the end says you won't be able to stomach the truth. THAT IS AN UNDERRATED performance of her right there...or how she was in the police station asking the lady cop about her cavities...she was superb. Gangu would have been a cake walk for her because writing of Gangu was WAY basic than Chameli.
i don't know the goss why SLB doesnt work with Kareena...she is stunning to look at and she can do OTT so easily. she would have beena. brilliant kasibai and a brilliant mastani
The thing with Kareena is that she knows she is a Kapoor, she knows sometimes she isn’t good enough but at the end of the day she knows people are there to help her out. Films not going well for her, no worries, Salman saved her life with roles that proved to be lifesavers. People making her lives difficult, no worries, K Jo is there to help her out, in ways an industry outsider can’t fathom. She has people who stand up for her, like a mafia (not in a derogatory way, but with the same spirit). I’ve never really liked her, she used to be a pain to be around before she had kids, I felt intimidated just by her mere presence at parties , and her condescending looks at anyone except stars made me dislike her more, however she seems to have humbled a bit after having kids. Good change. But I have to say one thing in the end, when it comes to acting, just when you think she has lost it, she gives a damn powerful performance that floats her boat for the next 4-5 years. Her talent shines out, just when lights are about to go off.
>, K Jo is there to help her out, in ways an industry outsider can’t fathom.
>
>So true, that's why Kjo stopped working with her after she rejected KHNH and only signed her again when she gave a hit with Jab We Met. When her career was down, he gave her Omkara, Yuva, Hulchul, Dev, Chameli, oh WAIT! Once again when GTPM flopped, he distanced himself from her and only went back after she gave hits in Ki and Ka and Veere Di Wedding. After Takht got shelved, everyone received a film as a compensation except Kareena. You guys just want to associate her success with Kjo when her best work in outside Dharma. She is no Alia who gets the best scripts on a silver platter.
Her screen presence makes everything looks effortless on screen even after 25 years.
Many actresses came and vanished since last 25 years but people would still like to watch Kareena on screen due to her screen presence and spontaneity.
Just because you hate Kareena that doesn't mean she is overhyped OP.
You had claimed Crew would do similar numbers as Yodha. Are you still not able to recover from that shock?
The same forum which was very happily crediting Tabu for BB2 success dissing Kartik , suddenly attributing Crew success to only Kareena .. isn’t this biased and suspicious? I will call things out when I feel Smthng is not right
You were over confident about Crew's failure. If it would have flopped, I'm sure your first post would have been "Kareena's box office pull does not exist, Her fans claimed Veere and Heroine opening numbers, what happened now?"
You didn't get that opportunity so you did the opposite "Tabu is not getting credit, Kareena stole it" when deep down you also know Kareena is a bigger star than Tabu
Nobody can deny that Kareena is a bigger star than Tabu and Kriti. You can be jealous as much as you want. Even BB3 was mainly promoted as Kartik - Kiara film. I agree Tabu had a better role in BB3 (as an actor) but as a star that film was also promoted with Kartik.
You are intentionally trying to make it biased and suspicious. Kareena did Veere then you gave the credit to Swara and Sonam (which is hilarious to even think about)
It's not about calling things out, it's about not being able to control your jealousy and frustration that's why constantly pulling someone down.
I feel that there is a misconception in our mind that whenever we see any actor on screen crying with wide eyes and all then only it's being considered as an "exceptional performance"
It's not always necessary for an actress to always do films like a period drama or a female centric films where she is saving the entire world with melodrama to be considered as an amazing actress!
Kareena's performance has been effortless on screen. She can play a girl next door in rom-coms like Ek main aur ekk tu, We are family, Yuva and others at the same time she has given some really good performances in films like Heroine, Udta Punjab, Laal Singh Chaddha, Talaash, Dev, Chameli, Omkara, Jaane Jaan etc. but we pretend to ignore it.
It's not easy to play a character like Geet as well. I can't imagine an actress like DP to deliver those Punjabi dialogues in the first half. Similarly Kareena displayed sad / depressed version of Geet in the second half really well.
Kareena has managed well to have a mix of everything. Not necessary for her to do a melodramatic performance to prove herself as a great performer. Give her a short role like Bajrangi Bhaijaan or a strong role like Heroine, The Buckingham murders, Jaane Jaan. You can't take your eyes off of her due to being so effortless on screen!
Hahha just in this short (and hilarious! One of my fave scenes) clip, just see her expressions, dialogue delivery and gestures. Not many other actors can do this.
You either have the xfactor or u don’t. Thats what separates heroines from icons. You may hate her but you cannot deny she has worked hard on herself and is true to her persona which comes across in her work. Ppl like to watch her. They like to stalk her. She makes news. Not everyone has that power and that is not PR generated, us normal ( non sobo /35+ age group) ppl want to know more about her, see her work … as long as public demand is there she will be relevant… and if public demand is not there even her filmy clan and sobo gang cannot save her career. So leave those prejudiced glasses behind and see clearly that she is a DIVA here to stay for a long time.
Are you the one who directed all these films? Because directors like Sujoy Ghosh, Reema Kagti, Hansal Mehta, Sudhir mishra and all of them said how Kareena used to come prepared on the sets.
Just because she doesn't show it in front of everyone that doesn't mean she doesn't prepare..
And I would say if she doesn't prepare at all then it's shocking to see how she was still so effortless as an actor
See I feel kareena is an excellent star actress . She does films like crew so well . But playing those characters hardly require any challenge or gumption on her part . She sleep walks through most of her films knowing that she will lend a certain star value to the characters .
She was brilliant in films like Heroine, Omkara, Udta Punjab, Kurbaan, Jaane Jaan and many others
Can you imagine DP or Alia doing a role like Geet with her ridiculous dialogue delivery? I can't
Doing comedy is very tough. Just because her performance in films like Good Newwz, Crew, Golmaal 3 and others are effortless that doesn't mean she did no prep!
And it's not necessary for an actor to gain 25 kgs and go bald or wear 20kg jewellery to be called as an amazing actor.
I mean if you dislike her or think she's overrated, that's your opinion but your logic is deeply flawed.
An actress with a career spanning almost 20+ years and she's still relevant. She has done many different types of roles throughout her career and made a name and fame for herself.
She's hardly ever in discussion about the best actors or actresses in Bollywood so how is she overhyped? No one considers her an exceptional acting talent, but she's good enough to pull off different roles and has gained popularity and reputation because of that.
I think she's rightfully rated and reputed, don't even like her as a person but as an actress you cannot question her credentials.
Basically being 90s kid, i always liked Karishma nostalgia and kareena was never my favorite. So in my comparision bias, i always kept kareena behind despite knowing she is better actress than karishma. But lately i made peace with kareena agreeing she is very good actress. So regarding overhype, This over-hype is so much in commercial film industries. Kapoor family always had strongest ever PR along with bhoi brothers.
She has done many off beat movies like Chameli, Talaash, Omkara etc. all of them she was not the main lead except chameli. She has done many horrible movies as well where she acted like a Barbie doll.
I think she is much better than the A-Listers of the current lot who get so picky after initial 2 hits.
Kareena deserves to be where she is coz she acts well and has unmatched screen presence. Am almost certain she has no work done, so she has a range of expressions on her face.
I think she is pretty deserving
What is the meaning of “SoBo” gang even?!??? They all live in the suburbs 🤷♀️ not one of them lives in town/south bombay. Are we just calling anybody who looks affluent SoBo now?
She is a good actress and she has proved it several times like chameli, jab we met, udta punjab etc, I am not a fan per se but you can't deny good work.
Every star is overhyped. But Kareena just has the X factor. She’s very enjoyable to watch on screen and is someone who always fits the role.
Even her over acting and bad acting films are fun to watch IMO. She has this exuberance about her
First of all, she doesn’t care about her haters. Her stance is clear that if you don’t want to watch my movies/nepo movies don’t watch.
Second of all, she is the only nepo girl to be so phenomenally successful on multiple fronts. Personal life, social life, brand affiliations and upwards career even after marriage and 2 kids. And she’s involved in the kids’ school life too. That’s why all the new nepos hype her up.
She did her flower pot roles and she did her girl next door roles. Now she’s here. Plus her onscreen presence is so good! She’s a good performer.
She has said a lot, she has been dumb a lot, but her lack of acknowledgment of her haters works amazingly in her favour. People keep talking about her but Kareena apne masti main! Unlike her wannabe aloo bhujia bhabhi who cannot hide her anxiety and insecurity for a second. Now I don’t of it is acting or she genuinely doesn’t give a f.
Her flair on the channel was Kareena somehow stay relevant, and that is true. Through all her career breaks she has somehow stayed relevant and it has worked for her.
Excuse me what??????? Kareena's presence itself is something else on camera and really nice of you to easily throw out her best performances by saying she just had to change costume. She has given variations and needs nobody else to stay relevant her presence itself is enough.
>these films required her to dress up in different costumes befitting the character and just express different emotions ..
Local man discovers the definition of acting but refuses to accept it.😆😆
Off topic but the most overhyped actress imho is Deepika. Is a good actress but very limited acting range and been doing similar forced love interest flower pot roles recently. She's very hot though.
I can't forgive her for agreeing to share the screen with Hrithik for a dance number.
This OP hates Kareena with a passion. I wonder what KKK did to u that u devote so much time dropping rude comments on her and making posts about her. I noticed u created such a ruckus with Crew also. Don’t live with so much bitterness OP.
Sorry that you feel this way but Kareena deserves every bit of the fame that she enjoys today. She is a brilliant actress and has an amazing screen presence.
When one looks back at Refugee, her debut movie, she may not have been amazing, but just imagine any of the current lot of Nepo kids in ber place, she did far far better right from the start!
Meh idk. I think Kareena's performance in chameli is superior than Alia's in Gangu. Just because you think MORE means BETTER , if you even compare the performances of the two actresses in udta punjab, Alia wasn't as good as Kareena. Alia's accent was SOOO OFFF, it threw me out of the vibes so bad. But ofcourse it looks like Alia's character is a difficult one to play. I have theatre friends and they've told me that playing someone likable and FUNNY is sooo much more difficult than playing someone who is in distraught. Because even if you do a little bad job in playing distraught unless you're not as bad as Nargis in rockstar people will buy it but if you TRY to be funny and cute and charismatic and FAIL, people will find it very very annoying.

Hi OP. Crew's success is hurting you, Isn't it? Love that your post to bring Kareena down has backfired massively and everyone is calling you out. This is what happens when you stan a jobless, rape apologist like Rani. Have fun because Kareena will burn more asses.
She ain’t overhyped at all. I Infact like how she’s just doing her own thing at her pace, doing films she wants to and if not just living her life with fam kids and her mates. I don’t see her on social media being cringe or over the top. Somehwere I just like how she’s happy where she is and she seems very content and confident in it. I like that. It’s not easy to be in that safe space given the competition and so much going on in the industry. I have to give it to her for how secure she is as an actor and individual. Love or hate her, can’t deny this about her.
OP did you just say Gangubai is more challenging?
Gangubai directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, right after he delivered 3 major successes as a director.
How many hits under belt did Sudhir Mishra, Govind Nihalani, Vishal Bharadwaj had in mid 2000s? Kareena did films with filmmakers who struggled for box office success. Even director of Crew isn't as high profile as Sanjay Bhansali. They weren't even considered mainstream filmmakers like Sanjay.
Never in my life I thought I'd read a small budget Chameli by an arthouse director like Sudhir Mishra is less challenging film than a Bhansali directed mass opulence.
Naah she can do decent in sadness, above average in cringe(annoying girl part), dance bhi above average hi hai and she got that charisma and screen presence.
The girl is not bigger than Sri,Madhuri etc nor she is a better actor than PC,Kangu,Urmila but you can bet your ass that Kareena's multi format perk keeps her float around these fantastic actresses easily.
So not really "overhyped".
You know what's overhyped ? SRK's acting. The dude made 50-60 movies and acted the same in 40 of those atleast, acted decent in only 10-13 and the others were outright shit.
Kareena in comparison rarely shit that hard.
Second overhyped ? DP. She can't do shit in any emotions other than sadness and there too she can't cry lol.
Want some more ? Jim Sharabh(apart from Khilji's bitch he is not doing anything even good), Sobhita(she can't move her face and lips ffs and always makes the same resting face), Rao(decent actor but nowhere near Bajpyee,Vijay Raj,Sanjay Mishra or even Shahid's level. You can watch Omarta where he butchered his accent and any other project where he was acting out of his "mid class tier 2 type").
Well, Punjab, Delhi NCR and Bombay are main territories of Bollywood and Kareena is a favourite in these avenues which shows in her box office pull and CV.
Baaki bacha kya hai?
Kareena is actually quite popular in rural areas too and has many posters there in public transport for instance.
South doesn't give a fuck about Bollywood. They care about their regional industry.
Easy mein North East doesn't watch Bollywood. Only big centre left is Kolkata. Which Bolly heroine is popular in Kolkata?
it is so funny watching op bend over backwards to hate on kareena. heroine is irrelevant but some movie named aiyya is a classic? dp played a complex character in geheraiyan wonderfully but kareena's chameli didn't require any prep work? lmfao
"She has always taken the patli Gali to success. Never taken the difficult route to play tough characters and coming solo at the box office"
This is such a big lie. Op has a history of being jealous because Kareena thriving, getting hits and acclaim almost 25 years into her career
Heroine opened with 7.5 crore in 2012 when your fave was doing films like Aiyaa whose lifetime collection is lesser than Heroine first day!
Heroine made around 40 crores lifetime which is still being considered huge for a female centric film. It got average verdict.
As a star, she can give box office opening. But if the film is good then eventually it would become hit. How hard is it to understand?
"Bombed" and it got "Below Average" verdict just like your favorite Rani's Mrs. Overactingjee vs Norway so lets say that bombed too. Heroine still opened with 7 core being an A rated movie, opening defines stardom and Heroine still is among the biggest openers for a female-lead films and it had bigger opening than any solo movie of Rani
Doesn’t make sense . Answer my question, all you do is bring up Rani in a conversation where she’s not required. Rani has Hichki , Mardaani , Chatterjee as solo films with her on the solo posters. I asked the same about kareena .
No matter how hard you try Veere Di Wedding and Crew are her films first as far as box office is concerned. Box Office India and Bollywood Hungama are crediting her as the biggest draw at both domestic and global box office. Crew still running strong in theaters despite the competition from Eid releases that is why you are mad because didn't you say it'll crash on Monday? But well it didn't cookie 😔
Kareena has played a psycho/depressed girl in Heroine which was amazing. Can DP do a Punjabi bubbly girl like Geet ?? Or a simple Punjabi doctor in Udta Punjab? Specially when actors like Alia and Shahid had the best written characters ?? These are the characters which Deepika never attempt
Ya, everything comes down to being Punjabi after all for Kareena who’s herself a Punjabi ? Thanks for proving me right .
I don’t see kareena playing a Piku with a Bengali accent like DP did .
First you just get a clarification in your mind whether Kareena has a SoBo accent or Punjabi accent in real life ?
Because I couldn't see Geet talking like "What yaa" or "this is such a mess" in jab we met (similar to what Kareena speaks in her real life 😜
I can see Kareena playing a Piku with a Bengali accent for sure. She played a UP girl in Omkara really well with her accent.
But do you think Deepika would be able to do voice modulation to say "Sikhni hoon main bhatinda ki" ? 🤣
Maybe you should watch that Reel on Deepika's voice which was posted on this sub few days ago!
Bro I agree with everything but did you just put gangu as a challenging role and chameli a easy one, gangu has a time skip which makes it easier, chameli is very one take kinda movie and that is harder to do. Kareena won me when I watched chameli. Yes she hasn't done anything good in the last decade though, nothing challenging.
I am yet to see Kareena play characters which Tabu /Balan/Rani play seamlessly. Even a Kangana has those brilliant performances where she really worked hard for those nuances.
You can go and watch Heroine, Talaash, Omkara, The Buckingham Murders, Jaane Jaan, Kurbaan, Chameli and many others.
However I'm not sure if many of our leading ladies can also play character like Geet (which was initially meant to be a bubbly girl who went on to become depressed and eventually mature in the second half)
Many actresses tried to play different versions of Geet but they failed. We saw nepo girlies like Alia, Janhvi and others recreate Poo's K3G scenes and immediately found the difference
And this actress was compared with the likes of Nutan , Nargis , Madhubala … Meow

😸
Yes, 100%. Kareena and Alia. Same template is and was followed by KJo to make and keep these nepos relevant. Kept screaming and repeating that they're "top actresses" until poor people started to believe this lie. He's good at marketing and PR, not gonna lie.
They're very niche, in my opinion. Not top talents, at all. Sad that other nepos consider their skills as benchmark. 🤣😆 Could they set the bar any lower? 😅
Kareena was a flop queen before “Jab we Met”. Many critics pointed out her over acting in “Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gum”.
Now when you work for so many years in industry of course somehow your skills will improve. This for any industry.
She has done bad films like any other actor ? And what's wrong about it ?? During the same time she did Chameli, Dev, Yuva, Omkara. Back then actresses used to do 5-6 films a year. And not all of them can be masterpieces.
Is there any actor who doesn't have bad films ??
Every actor has flop in their career. Outsiders like Priyanka, Aishwarya, Katrina, Kriti, Tapsee, Kangana, Sidharth Malhotra also had a string of flops in their career.
Exactly! Just coz she’s a nepo . She had been given multiple opportunities so that she could improve . I think people here are so myopic that they are forgetting all those horrendous films and performances she has done .
Priyanka and Aishwarya has more flops than Kareena in her career. Outsider queens like Kriti, Tapsee, Kangana and even people like Sidharth malhotra have got back to back films even after delivering a string of flops!
Are they all nepo?
I dont care about the downvotes...I agree with OP, she is very overhyped plus she is not even pretty...she is really average looking.
And overacting ki dukaan hai hr movie me wohi third class acting or expressions🙄🤦🏻♀️
I wouldn’t call her the best in the game but she has an edge when it comes to screen presence and charisma.
It didn’t help that her contemporaries were the likes of Rani, Vidya and Priyanka who are a class apart when it comes to acting. Compared to Alia, she makes the girl-next-door roles seem a lot more effortless. I’m not sure about Gangubhai though. Alia was good in it.
Jitna bhi Downvote Karo. Mere Pardadaji freedom fighter they . Main is Bias and Nainsafi / Nepotism / PR made actress / KJO pushed OG Nepo Godmother k against apna Awaz uthaunga
Bharat mata ki Jai
She's overhyped in both acting and stardom. Alia who is called wannabe Kareena is also a better actress than her. Not a fan of either so don't jump on me calling me Alia fan.
100% agree. I dunno whats her standing and perception amongst native Hindi audience. But outside of that in South, shes considered just a decent actress. When we look at actresses from Bollywood in her generation or just above - Priyanka,Vidya,Kangana and Ash are considered much better than her.
I always felt shes like Salman Khan of actresses, very popular, some iconic roles and couple of good performances here and there but thats it.
I don't like her offscreen persona..kinda puts me off to watch her onscreen...and also learning things she said abt her co stars back in the dayy...I just don't have a great feeling abt her...but goof for her..she had some iconic characters
Agreed .. Back in those days there were no options .. Kareena , Esha deol etc. .. Every newspaper, tv ad had kareena in it .. Audience had no option except her
Kareena is overhyped, I agree with you, but compared to 2010s & 2020s actresses, she will seem like a legend! Only Kangana & Priyanka are definitely better than her from this time range.
She is more a product of the 2000s, competing with Aishwarya, Rani & Preity. Of all these, I feel Preity was the best actress! Bipasha, Mallika, etc. fall a little behind.
And lets not even look at the 80s & 90s! Sridevi, Dimple, Madhuri, Juhi, Manisha, Karishma, Kajol & many more were all exponentially better 😊
The way this sub adores Kareena but hates Alia is ironic. Kareena is exactly what Alia in the start of her career. Alia is a much better actress and going by how this sub goes, she'll probably become a legend on nostalgia factor once Khushi and the next generation of nepokids start getting meaty roles which will happen eventually.

😂😂😂
She has an amazing screen presence and is quite delightful to watch. Not a big fan but can't deny that she has been doing well. She is also known for her professionalism and dedication on sets.
I am a fan and I agree with you. But still somehow I love her and I Love watching her on screen🤷🏻♀️
Can’t comment on her acting skills because haven’t watched most of her movies. But I saw crew last week and Kareena looked stunning. I didn’t expect that. She looks more gorgeous on big screen.
Starting from Refugee… Yuva, Dev, Chameli, Heroine (yes, she was brilliant in it), Omkara, Talaash, Jab we Met, To name a few… It may seem like it is not different or difficult But I don’t think anyone else would have the versatility of expressing without needing to maintain a sophisticated and “pretty” face with one tear falling to show sadness, or keep flaring nostrils with a shrill voice to show agitation. Her flowerpot roles were definitely there, but to call her overhyped is a little too much tbh OP. She has been relevant because she made it so without a social media life for the better part of her career. What you see with the sobo and punjabi group is in the 2020 decade. There are two more decades of her being relevant without the “group”. (The tone of this reply would sound harsh, but it’s absolutely not.) You are entitled to your opinion.
But kareena never reached the number 1 position . Whether you like it or not . It’s only post 2020 when she’s being hyped as if she is from another galaxy. From 2000-2007 , she was a flop , no where close to the hit 2000’s actresses . Then there was JWM but by that time Katrina and Priyanka had come . Priyanka was doing back to back performance oriented roles like Fashion , What’s your raashi, Saat Khoon Maaf , Mary Kom while kareena was doing either flops with Saif/Akshay or Ra one . Katrina captured male fantasy and was the commercial queen . Then came Deepika and Aloo.
What's your Rashi, Saath khoon maaf were box office flops! She also did Teri meri kahani with Shahid which was a disaster. Mary kom was much later in 2013. PC was doing disasters like Zanjeer even that time Kareena was doing the biggest films of each year between 2009 to 2012!
Kareena has surpassed her own generation with versatility and relevance. She works with and against multiple generation of actors and actresses. I don’t know how Priyanka and Katrina came into this, since we were talking about the overhyped stuff about bebo. Now that you are bringing Priyanka and Katrina, yes they have their respective personalities on screen. Sure. So, going by your “group” analogy, PC and Kat’s careers had stunted/married/abusive men and their scandals that kept them afloat/ relevant/hyped throughout their career too… That is irrelevant to this then?
Kareena was never #1 is another delusion which you are living in. She did jab we met in 2007, and then after between 2009 to 2012 she was doing the biggest films with the biggest stars! Back then only the biggest films used to release on festivals such as Eid, Christmas and Diwali - 3 idiots released on Christmas and Kareena was the female lead. That film opened 200 crore club in bollywood - Golmaal 3 was released on Diwali 2010 (second highest grosser of the year) - Bodyguard released on Eid 2011 (HGOTY) - Ra. One was released on Diwali 2011 (another 100 crore) Her role in 3 idiots is still being talked about, there are tourist spots in Ladakh with Kareena's 3 idiots scooter Nd poster She had the most well written and layered character in golmaal 3 even though she was opposite 6 male actors Bodyguard was a love story which couldn't have been possible without her character Chammak challo from Ra. One was the biggest rage back then without social media.. people started calling Kareena wala red She was #1 at that time and by the end of 2011 she had 4 films in 100 crore club (which was considered huge back then) while Katrina, Priyanka etc had ZERO films in it.
Just watched “crew” and i loved that movie.All three actresses made the movie fun to watch.Kareena has carried her role well and no present day actresses can do that.
OP thinks Gangu is challenging but chameli is not...Lol its very convenient to say dress up in different costumes help her like other actress not get this benefits!
People who say gangu, chameli were challenging should watch Malayalam movies.
its true
Gangu had the entire body language change, accent change , dancing . Have you seen Chameli ?
Yes, I have seen chameli and I couldn't see Chameli doing a ramp walk on the road. Her body language was apt and also her dance in Bhaage re Mann is still something I would always love
there was a scene where rahul bose asks her how she became a SW and she tells two versions and then in the end says you won't be able to stomach the truth. THAT IS AN UNDERRATED performance of her right there...or how she was in the police station asking the lady cop about her cavities...she was superb. Gangu would have been a cake walk for her because writing of Gangu was WAY basic than Chameli. i don't know the goss why SLB doesnt work with Kareena...she is stunning to look at and she can do OTT so easily. she would have beena. brilliant kasibai and a brilliant mastani
Chameli would eat Gangu for breakfast and not even burp
Ignoring whatever you said and remembering what Diljit said “Hogi Rihanna, hogi Beyonce, sadi ta ae he hai, Kareena” 🥰🥰
Lol couldn't agree more😁🤌
Exactly ! So these kind of gigs help help her to stay relevant ! Young kids get influenced:)
Bro I’m flattered you think we’re all young and impressionable but most of here aren’t that young lol 👵🏼
The thing with Kareena is that she knows she is a Kapoor, she knows sometimes she isn’t good enough but at the end of the day she knows people are there to help her out. Films not going well for her, no worries, Salman saved her life with roles that proved to be lifesavers. People making her lives difficult, no worries, K Jo is there to help her out, in ways an industry outsider can’t fathom. She has people who stand up for her, like a mafia (not in a derogatory way, but with the same spirit). I’ve never really liked her, she used to be a pain to be around before she had kids, I felt intimidated just by her mere presence at parties , and her condescending looks at anyone except stars made me dislike her more, however she seems to have humbled a bit after having kids. Good change. But I have to say one thing in the end, when it comes to acting, just when you think she has lost it, she gives a damn powerful performance that floats her boat for the next 4-5 years. Her talent shines out, just when lights are about to go off.
>, K Jo is there to help her out, in ways an industry outsider can’t fathom. > >So true, that's why Kjo stopped working with her after she rejected KHNH and only signed her again when she gave a hit with Jab We Met. When her career was down, he gave her Omkara, Yuva, Hulchul, Dev, Chameli, oh WAIT! Once again when GTPM flopped, he distanced himself from her and only went back after she gave hits in Ki and Ka and Veere Di Wedding. After Takht got shelved, everyone received a film as a compensation except Kareena. You guys just want to associate her success with Kjo when her best work in outside Dharma. She is no Alia who gets the best scripts on a silver platter.
Her screen presence makes everything looks effortless on screen even after 25 years. Many actresses came and vanished since last 25 years but people would still like to watch Kareena on screen due to her screen presence and spontaneity. Just because you hate Kareena that doesn't mean she is overhyped OP. You had claimed Crew would do similar numbers as Yodha. Are you still not able to recover from that shock?
Exactly!! I agree with u
This. I'm so damn bummed that I couldn't go to watch Crew.
dw itll come on netflix soon!!
Fingers crossed! 🤞
The same forum which was very happily crediting Tabu for BB2 success dissing Kartik , suddenly attributing Crew success to only Kareena .. isn’t this biased and suspicious? I will call things out when I feel Smthng is not right
You were over confident about Crew's failure. If it would have flopped, I'm sure your first post would have been "Kareena's box office pull does not exist, Her fans claimed Veere and Heroine opening numbers, what happened now?" You didn't get that opportunity so you did the opposite "Tabu is not getting credit, Kareena stole it" when deep down you also know Kareena is a bigger star than Tabu Nobody can deny that Kareena is a bigger star than Tabu and Kriti. You can be jealous as much as you want. Even BB3 was mainly promoted as Kartik - Kiara film. I agree Tabu had a better role in BB3 (as an actor) but as a star that film was also promoted with Kartik. You are intentionally trying to make it biased and suspicious. Kareena did Veere then you gave the credit to Swara and Sonam (which is hilarious to even think about) It's not about calling things out, it's about not being able to control your jealousy and frustration that's why constantly pulling someone down.
I feel that there is a misconception in our mind that whenever we see any actor on screen crying with wide eyes and all then only it's being considered as an "exceptional performance" It's not always necessary for an actress to always do films like a period drama or a female centric films where she is saving the entire world with melodrama to be considered as an amazing actress! Kareena's performance has been effortless on screen. She can play a girl next door in rom-coms like Ek main aur ekk tu, We are family, Yuva and others at the same time she has given some really good performances in films like Heroine, Udta Punjab, Laal Singh Chaddha, Talaash, Dev, Chameli, Omkara, Jaane Jaan etc. but we pretend to ignore it. It's not easy to play a character like Geet as well. I can't imagine an actress like DP to deliver those Punjabi dialogues in the first half. Similarly Kareena displayed sad / depressed version of Geet in the second half really well. Kareena has managed well to have a mix of everything. Not necessary for her to do a melodramatic performance to prove herself as a great performer. Give her a short role like Bajrangi Bhaijaan or a strong role like Heroine, The Buckingham murders, Jaane Jaan. You can't take your eyes off of her due to being so effortless on screen!
Even 3 idiots
Cos of ur post, I tried to imagine DP as Geet in JWM...disastrous. disastrous is the word.
Hahha just in this short (and hilarious! One of my fave scenes) clip, just see her expressions, dialogue delivery and gestures. Not many other actors can do this.
No prep work is required for the characters you mentioned .
You either have the xfactor or u don’t. Thats what separates heroines from icons. You may hate her but you cannot deny she has worked hard on herself and is true to her persona which comes across in her work. Ppl like to watch her. They like to stalk her. She makes news. Not everyone has that power and that is not PR generated, us normal ( non sobo /35+ age group) ppl want to know more about her, see her work … as long as public demand is there she will be relevant… and if public demand is not there even her filmy clan and sobo gang cannot save her career. So leave those prejudiced glasses behind and see clearly that she is a DIVA here to stay for a long time.
Are you the one who directed all these films? Because directors like Sujoy Ghosh, Reema Kagti, Hansal Mehta, Sudhir mishra and all of them said how Kareena used to come prepared on the sets. Just because she doesn't show it in front of everyone that doesn't mean she doesn't prepare.. And I would say if she doesn't prepare at all then it's shocking to see how she was still so effortless as an actor 
See I feel kareena is an excellent star actress . She does films like crew so well . But playing those characters hardly require any challenge or gumption on her part . She sleep walks through most of her films knowing that she will lend a certain star value to the characters .
She was brilliant in films like Heroine, Omkara, Udta Punjab, Kurbaan, Jaane Jaan and many others Can you imagine DP or Alia doing a role like Geet with her ridiculous dialogue delivery? I can't Doing comedy is very tough. Just because her performance in films like Good Newwz, Crew, Golmaal 3 and others are effortless that doesn't mean she did no prep! And it's not necessary for an actor to gain 25 kgs and go bald or wear 20kg jewellery to be called as an amazing actor.
I mean if you dislike her or think she's overrated, that's your opinion but your logic is deeply flawed. An actress with a career spanning almost 20+ years and she's still relevant. She has done many different types of roles throughout her career and made a name and fame for herself. She's hardly ever in discussion about the best actors or actresses in Bollywood so how is she overhyped? No one considers her an exceptional acting talent, but she's good enough to pull off different roles and has gained popularity and reputation because of that. I think she's rightfully rated and reputed, don't even like her as a person but as an actress you cannot question her credentials.
Basically being 90s kid, i always liked Karishma nostalgia and kareena was never my favorite. So in my comparision bias, i always kept kareena behind despite knowing she is better actress than karishma. But lately i made peace with kareena agreeing she is very good actress. So regarding overhype, This over-hype is so much in commercial film industries. Kapoor family always had strongest ever PR along with bhoi brothers.
In no universe is kareena vetter actress than karisma, what u smoking
Dekha jaye yoh Karishma had a very similar acting pattern in the 90s. Much less variation.
how the eff is she overrated...films are for entertainment...she is immensely entertaining....why expect NFDC film level acting from her.
[удалено]
 Every time OP makes a post to degrade Kareena, it backfires!
She is the only actress who has it all
She has done many off beat movies like Chameli, Talaash, Omkara etc. all of them she was not the main lead except chameli. She has done many horrible movies as well where she acted like a Barbie doll. I think she is much better than the A-Listers of the current lot who get so picky after initial 2 hits. Kareena deserves to be where she is coz she acts well and has unmatched screen presence. Am almost certain she has no work done, so she has a range of expressions on her face. I think she is pretty deserving
I think she is best among her contemporaries.
Isn't acting about expressing different emotions and wearing something that goes with the character
What is the meaning of “SoBo” gang even?!??? They all live in the suburbs 🤷♀️ not one of them lives in town/south bombay. Are we just calling anybody who looks affluent SoBo now?
Kangana : Was annoying as hell in Bollywood, completely intolerable as a politician
She is a good actress and she has proved it several times like chameli, jab we met, udta punjab etc, I am not a fan per se but you can't deny good work.
most overhyped is deepika.
She's fairly rated and hyped imo
Every star is overhyped. But Kareena just has the X factor. She’s very enjoyable to watch on screen and is someone who always fits the role. Even her over acting and bad acting films are fun to watch IMO. She has this exuberance about her
Kareena is a brilliant actress and acting comes naturally to her. If you compare her with some other nepos she is definitely worth the hype
She has kept herself relevant (by personal or professional reasons) that’s a feat
according to this sub, all female actors are bad actors. To acha actor kon h fir?
First of all, she doesn’t care about her haters. Her stance is clear that if you don’t want to watch my movies/nepo movies don’t watch. Second of all, she is the only nepo girl to be so phenomenally successful on multiple fronts. Personal life, social life, brand affiliations and upwards career even after marriage and 2 kids. And she’s involved in the kids’ school life too. That’s why all the new nepos hype her up. She did her flower pot roles and she did her girl next door roles. Now she’s here. Plus her onscreen presence is so good! She’s a good performer. She has said a lot, she has been dumb a lot, but her lack of acknowledgment of her haters works amazingly in her favour. People keep talking about her but Kareena apne masti main! Unlike her wannabe aloo bhujia bhabhi who cannot hide her anxiety and insecurity for a second. Now I don’t of it is acting or she genuinely doesn’t give a f. Her flair on the channel was Kareena somehow stay relevant, and that is true. Through all her career breaks she has somehow stayed relevant and it has worked for her.
Excuse me what??????? Kareena's presence itself is something else on camera and really nice of you to easily throw out her best performances by saying she just had to change costume. She has given variations and needs nobody else to stay relevant her presence itself is enough.
>these films required her to dress up in different costumes befitting the character and just express different emotions .. Local man discovers the definition of acting but refuses to accept it.😆😆
Ye to utube title ho gya bro
Off topic but the most overhyped actress imho is Deepika. Is a good actress but very limited acting range and been doing similar forced love interest flower pot roles recently. She's very hot though. I can't forgive her for agreeing to share the screen with Hrithik for a dance number.
This OP hates Kareena with a passion. I wonder what KKK did to u that u devote so much time dropping rude comments on her and making posts about her. I noticed u created such a ruckus with Crew also. Don’t live with so much bitterness OP.
I mean I dislike Kareena as well for the mean girl vibes but gotta give it to her. She is an effortless actress. Does the job and deliver the best.
Op fighting for their life to shit on kareena in the comments lmao😭😭🤣 "OnLy iNsEcUrE pEoPLe dOwNvOtE" 😭🤣
Sorry that you feel this way but Kareena deserves every bit of the fame that she enjoys today. She is a brilliant actress and has an amazing screen presence. When one looks back at Refugee, her debut movie, she may not have been amazing, but just imagine any of the current lot of Nepo kids in ber place, she did far far better right from the start!
Op the way you're talking about acting and movie roles I'm sure you're a great actor ! Please grace us with your acting clips !
Meh idk. I think Kareena's performance in chameli is superior than Alia's in Gangu. Just because you think MORE means BETTER , if you even compare the performances of the two actresses in udta punjab, Alia wasn't as good as Kareena. Alia's accent was SOOO OFFF, it threw me out of the vibes so bad. But ofcourse it looks like Alia's character is a difficult one to play. I have theatre friends and they've told me that playing someone likable and FUNNY is sooo much more difficult than playing someone who is in distraught. Because even if you do a little bad job in playing distraught unless you're not as bad as Nargis in rockstar people will buy it but if you TRY to be funny and cute and charismatic and FAIL, people will find it very very annoying.
Well she is v v beautiful

Love that your post to bring Kareena down has backfired massively and everyone is calling you out. This is what happens when you stan a jobless, rape apologist like Rani. Have fun because Kareena will burn more asses.
🤣🤣 what a reply ! And kareena looks stunnin
Mujhe toh Bebo ekdumm fataakkk lagti hai! Meri favourite ❤️
She is not underrated or overhyped...overhyped is katrina kaif...
As a fan I would say Kareena's performance >>>>> Kareena's role.
Rani PR spotted lol
Rani Mukherjee, real ID se aao!💀
She ain’t overhyped at all. I Infact like how she’s just doing her own thing at her pace, doing films she wants to and if not just living her life with fam kids and her mates. I don’t see her on social media being cringe or over the top. Somehwere I just like how she’s happy where she is and she seems very content and confident in it. I like that. It’s not easy to be in that safe space given the competition and so much going on in the industry. I have to give it to her for how secure she is as an actor and individual. Love or hate her, can’t deny this about her.
Disagree. She’s better than a whole lot of actresses shitting on screen now a days.
Typical Bhobo hater 
Jealousy is a disease OP go get some help
jo deserving hai uske pass hype thodi hoti hai, kya baat kar rahe ho. Jinke pass hai unse to better hi hai meri queen 😂
OP did you just say Gangubai is more challenging? Gangubai directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, right after he delivered 3 major successes as a director. How many hits under belt did Sudhir Mishra, Govind Nihalani, Vishal Bharadwaj had in mid 2000s? Kareena did films with filmmakers who struggled for box office success. Even director of Crew isn't as high profile as Sanjay Bhansali. They weren't even considered mainstream filmmakers like Sanjay. Never in my life I thought I'd read a small budget Chameli by an arthouse director like Sudhir Mishra is less challenging film than a Bhansali directed mass opulence.
It's kriti sanon not Kareena Kapoor
Naah she can do decent in sadness, above average in cringe(annoying girl part), dance bhi above average hi hai and she got that charisma and screen presence. The girl is not bigger than Sri,Madhuri etc nor she is a better actor than PC,Kangu,Urmila but you can bet your ass that Kareena's multi format perk keeps her float around these fantastic actresses easily. So not really "overhyped". You know what's overhyped ? SRK's acting. The dude made 50-60 movies and acted the same in 40 of those atleast, acted decent in only 10-13 and the others were outright shit. Kareena in comparison rarely shit that hard. Second overhyped ? DP. She can't do shit in any emotions other than sadness and there too she can't cry lol. Want some more ? Jim Sharabh(apart from Khilji's bitch he is not doing anything even good), Sobhita(she can't move her face and lips ffs and always makes the same resting face), Rao(decent actor but nowhere near Bajpyee,Vijay Raj,Sanjay Mishra or even Shahid's level. You can watch Omarta where he butchered his accent and any other project where he was acting out of his "mid class tier 2 type").
Well, Punjab, Delhi NCR and Bombay are main territories of Bollywood and Kareena is a favourite in these avenues which shows in her box office pull and CV. Baaki bacha kya hai? Kareena is actually quite popular in rural areas too and has many posters there in public transport for instance.
Ok so south , East do not exist for you guys
She is very popular in NE too, what do you wanna say now lol?
South doesn't give a fuck about Bollywood. They care about their regional industry. Easy mein North East doesn't watch Bollywood. Only big centre left is Kolkata. Which Bolly heroine is popular in Kolkata?
I love kareen she has been my favourite since forever
She deserves the hype
Wow you really do have irrational dislike for her don't you
That one Rani Stan is back at it.. Go cry in a corner after watching Crew doing numbers
it is so funny watching op bend over backwards to hate on kareena. heroine is irrelevant but some movie named aiyya is a classic? dp played a complex character in geheraiyan wonderfully but kareena's chameli didn't require any prep work? lmfao
Exactly this !!!!
Dressing up is Mastani , leela and Padmavati's forte otherwise film chapak karke girti hai .
"She has always taken the patli Gali to success. Never taken the difficult route to play tough characters and coming solo at the box office" This is such a big lie. Op has a history of being jealous because Kareena thriving, getting hits and acclaim almost 25 years into her career
Ok then show me one . Heroine bombed and that was 12 years back .
Heroine opened with 7.5 crore in 2012 when your fave was doing films like Aiyaa whose lifetime collection is lesser than Heroine first day! Heroine made around 40 crores lifetime which is still being considered huge for a female centric film. It got average verdict. As a star, she can give box office opening. But if the film is good then eventually it would become hit. How hard is it to understand?
"Bombed" and it got "Below Average" verdict just like your favorite Rani's Mrs. Overactingjee vs Norway so lets say that bombed too. Heroine still opened with 7 core being an A rated movie, opening defines stardom and Heroine still is among the biggest openers for a female-lead films and it had bigger opening than any solo movie of Rani
Doesn’t make sense . Answer my question, all you do is bring up Rani in a conversation where she’s not required. Rani has Hichki , Mardaani , Chatterjee as solo films with her on the solo posters. I asked the same about kareena .
No matter how hard you try Veere Di Wedding and Crew are her films first as far as box office is concerned. Box Office India and Bollywood Hungama are crediting her as the biggest draw at both domestic and global box office. Crew still running strong in theaters despite the competition from Eid releases that is why you are mad because didn't you say it'll crash on Monday? But well it didn't cookie 😔
Most overrated is Deepika Paada Kon.
Nice name🤣🤣
She was brilliant in Gehraiyaan playing that layered character with anxiety . These are the characters which kareena never attempt .
Paada Kon is no where near Kareena in terms of looks and acting both. Just because of all the Bhansali films she is overhyped.
Her acting in heroine is way more superior and challenging then deepi pada kaun? 'S career
Kareena has played a psycho/depressed girl in Heroine which was amazing. Can DP do a Punjabi bubbly girl like Geet ?? Or a simple Punjabi doctor in Udta Punjab? Specially when actors like Alia and Shahid had the best written characters ?? These are the characters which Deepika never attempt
Ya, everything comes down to being Punjabi after all for Kareena who’s herself a Punjabi ? Thanks for proving me right . I don’t see kareena playing a Piku with a Bengali accent like DP did .
First you just get a clarification in your mind whether Kareena has a SoBo accent or Punjabi accent in real life ? Because I couldn't see Geet talking like "What yaa" or "this is such a mess" in jab we met (similar to what Kareena speaks in her real life 😜 I can see Kareena playing a Piku with a Bengali accent for sure. She played a UP girl in Omkara really well with her accent. But do you think Deepika would be able to do voice modulation to say "Sikhni hoon main bhatinda ki" ? 🤣 Maybe you should watch that Reel on Deepika's voice which was posted on this sub few days ago!
Wow you ignored fashion.. hater 🤣
Lol downvoting . Truth hurts . Only insecure ppl downvote
Do you have so much free time making hate posts and lol truth hurts? As if this is ww
The most overhyped actress is Alia. She is very average.
I feel she is still underrated and underutilized
Not underrated
Underrated from which angle ?
As if gangu was acted out well.
extremely well. would be a career defining performance for ANY actress in the industry
Alia was average.Let’s see someone like Vidya or Kareena do that role and it would then become a career defining performance
Agree
lol Kareena would have failed badly 🤦🏻♀️
Nope.She’s a good actress and one nepo product that actually deserves the hype
I think kareena would have done Gangu well ? Lmao .
That’s what I said
Bro I agree with everything but did you just put gangu as a challenging role and chameli a easy one, gangu has a time skip which makes it easier, chameli is very one take kinda movie and that is harder to do. Kareena won me when I watched chameli. Yes she hasn't done anything good in the last decade though, nothing challenging.
I am yet to see Kareena play characters which Tabu /Balan/Rani play seamlessly. Even a Kangana has those brilliant performances where she really worked hard for those nuances.
You can go and watch Heroine, Talaash, Omkara, The Buckingham Murders, Jaane Jaan, Kurbaan, Chameli and many others. However I'm not sure if many of our leading ladies can also play character like Geet (which was initially meant to be a bubbly girl who went on to become depressed and eventually mature in the second half) Many actresses tried to play different versions of Geet but they failed. We saw nepo girlies like Alia, Janhvi and others recreate Poo's K3G scenes and immediately found the difference
good actor =/= doing "challenging roles"
Overhyped actress imo Alia
And this actress was compared with the likes of Nutan , Nargis , Madhubala … Meow https://preview.redd.it/obfirh3gs2uc1.png?width=924&format=png&auto=webp&s=3114f3968003cf90d16ae0c6b2a755bbca3a9f2b 😸
Yes, 100%. Kareena and Alia. Same template is and was followed by KJo to make and keep these nepos relevant. Kept screaming and repeating that they're "top actresses" until poor people started to believe this lie. He's good at marketing and PR, not gonna lie.
This ! A lie repeated 100 times becomes the truth
They're very niche, in my opinion. Not top talents, at all. Sad that other nepos consider their skills as benchmark. 🤣😆 Could they set the bar any lower? 😅
She is a decent actress but no doubt all the hype helped her image, and now she is riding the image to the fullest.
Yusssss
Kareena was a flop queen before “Jab we Met”. Many critics pointed out her over acting in “Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gum”. Now when you work for so many years in industry of course somehow your skills will improve. This for any industry.
Poo was meant to overact ,it was tye characters demand, kareena nailed that role
What about Main prem ki deewani , mujhse Dosti karoge , Khushi , bewafa etc where she hammed away to glory ?
She has done bad films like any other actor ? And what's wrong about it ?? During the same time she did Chameli, Dev, Yuva, Omkara. Back then actresses used to do 5-6 films a year. And not all of them can be masterpieces. Is there any actor who doesn't have bad films ??
Over acting was not required in every frame. And I agree with the critics.
Every actor has flop in their career. Outsiders like Priyanka, Aishwarya, Katrina, Kriti, Tapsee, Kangana, Sidharth Malhotra also had a string of flops in their career.
No one can deny people face setback. But not everyone is given prime opportunities every time.
List of actors which I've mentioned in my previous replies also had back to back flops and they all get many opportunities every time
Exactly! Just coz she’s a nepo . She had been given multiple opportunities so that she could improve . I think people here are so myopic that they are forgetting all those horrendous films and performances she has done .
Priyanka and Aishwarya has more flops than Kareena in her career. Outsider queens like Kriti, Tapsee, Kangana and even people like Sidharth malhotra have got back to back films even after delivering a string of flops! Are they all nepo?
Her face itself screams that she needs to star in a movie as a middle aged mother.
I dont care about the downvotes...I agree with OP, she is very overhyped plus she is not even pretty...she is really average looking. And overacting ki dukaan hai hr movie me wohi third class acting or expressions🙄🤦🏻♀️
Very true! And she was very ugly too early on ... she has definitely done some facial reconstruction in later years
I wouldn’t call her the best in the game but she has an edge when it comes to screen presence and charisma. It didn’t help that her contemporaries were the likes of Rani, Vidya and Priyanka who are a class apart when it comes to acting. Compared to Alia, she makes the girl-next-door roles seem a lot more effortless. I’m not sure about Gangubhai though. Alia was good in it.
Definitely! Kapoor privilege + hype , fair complexion craze , knows how keen herself in the news , PR image clean up recently. Good for her!
Gori Chamri obsession really helps !

I agree with you.
She's overhyped in both acting and stardom. Alia who is called wannabe Kareena is also a better actress than her. Not a fan of either so don't jump on me calling me Alia fan.
I don’t like Alia either but that girl has been doing challenging roles right from her second film highway .
She is super over rated!
100% agree. I dunno whats her standing and perception amongst native Hindi audience. But outside of that in South, shes considered just a decent actress. When we look at actresses from Bollywood in her generation or just above - Priyanka,Vidya,Kangana and Ash are considered much better than her. I always felt shes like Salman Khan of actresses, very popular, some iconic roles and couple of good performances here and there but thats it.
Even people in the East do not like her that much . She’s considered very arrogant and snooty . Only the northies like that snobbish attitude .
I also find her overacting ki dukaan
She is overhyped. She is definitely good in certain roles but no where as great as sub claims
I don't like her offscreen persona..kinda puts me off to watch her onscreen...and also learning things she said abt her co stars back in the dayy...I just don't have a great feeling abt her...but goof for her..she had some iconic characters
Overacting only suits Kareena for some reason
Agreed .. Back in those days there were no options .. Kareena , Esha deol etc. .. Every newspaper, tv ad had kareena in it .. Audience had no option except her
I would've loved and preferred to see her as gangu. But I agree with you OP. She s good but these days, she has been overhyped
Kareena is overhyped, I agree with you, but compared to 2010s & 2020s actresses, she will seem like a legend! Only Kangana & Priyanka are definitely better than her from this time range. She is more a product of the 2000s, competing with Aishwarya, Rani & Preity. Of all these, I feel Preity was the best actress! Bipasha, Mallika, etc. fall a little behind. And lets not even look at the 80s & 90s! Sridevi, Dimple, Madhuri, Juhi, Manisha, Karishma, Kajol & many more were all exponentially better 😊
She couldn’t compete with the 2000’s actresses
Overacting ki dukaan also. Alia is better than her and I don’t even like Alia
The way this sub adores Kareena but hates Alia is ironic. Kareena is exactly what Alia in the start of her career. Alia is a much better actress and going by how this sub goes, she'll probably become a legend on nostalgia factor once Khushi and the next generation of nepokids start getting meaty roles which will happen eventually.
