2009 Spl: B'wood ladies wrestle for the number one slot

14 potential candidates, one coveted title; we do the math

The Big Five: Katrina Kaif

Kat continued her winning streak of 2007. Two films (Race, Singh is Kinng) out of her three releases hit the jackpot. Pity Yuvraaj didn't get anywhere near. Frankly we'd be surprised if it did. Kat's got six films lined up for release and one more project with Shah Rukh Khan and Yash Chopra that is touted to bring Yash Raj films out of the red. With more and more brands being interested in signing her up as their ambassador, Katrina Kaif is by far the strongest contender for the number one slot in Bollywood.

Mimi, you are uninformed. You should have facts to back up your nonsense about aishwarya. Aishwarya has been performed well in tamil (iruvar, kandukondain, jeans), bengali (chokher bali), hindi (raincoat, guru, khakee, hddcs, ja, etc) and english (b&p and provoked) movies. Because someone is beautiful does not mean they cannot act. Do you know more about acting than acclaimed directors who all have worked with her?



btw, rani is a good actress but she got her success through the khans (srk, aamir, salman, saif) and big production houses (yrf and dharma). She has not experimented much and has lost her standing due to her mismanagement of her career.



btw kareena in jwm was overrated-not great acting



there is no need to tear someone down to build up your favorites.

Agree with you mimi. With their top 5 line-up it's clear where bollywood is heading.....Firmly back to the days when actresses were there just for the glamour quotient and to look good. I mean if ex-models and beauty queens (and they are all one or the other) can't look good, who can? Yes they all act. But they are all stiff and carry the trade-mark beauty queen way of speaking and deportment.

but i guess, if nothing else, we should thank the top ranking indian army officials who have produced many (if not all) of today's top heroines!

Aishwarya rai will roc in 2009 coz its manis film :)

Please for the love of god stop promoting no-talent katrina. She is not an actress but a hanger on to akshay.

btw, aishwarya did not lose the contract. It was offered to her and she refused it. They offered it to deepika who also refused it. Lastly they went to desperate katrina who accepted it. Get your facts right.

aishwarya had two critically and commercially sucessful movies - jodhaa akbar and sarkar raj. So at 2 out of 2 she is #1 for 2008. For 2009 she has mani ratnam with abhishek, shanker with rajnikanth, slb with hrithik and vishal shay with akshay. That sounds like a strong line-up to me.

finally you people on this site are sexist and ageist. You write off the actresses who are married (kajol, juhi, aishwarya, etc.) and over 30 (rani, preity, etc.) for bimbos.

Deepika padukone is no.1.I loved her so much in 'om shanti om'and 'bachna ae haseeno'and waiting very anxiously for her next forthcoming flick 'chandni chowk to china'with the new king of bollyood-akshay kumar.Deepika rocks

Contd.

rani could have easily got rnbdj ( afterall aditya chopra is her bf) and then she has a hit. Point i am making is these movies are hits irrespective of the actresses. Replace ash by kareena in ja , it would have equally big hit bcoz of hrithik roshan.

and finally, ash cannot deliver beyond some intense crying scenes. The day she does a jab we met, comedy and drama without a big star, i will take her as somebody. Without that, she is nothing but a big hype bcoz of just beauty and her pr team.

mimi Dec 30, 2008 at 09:28 PM

Ash is over-hyped and over-rated. Her pr team works overtime. Miss world, l'oreal, now a bachchan-all hype. She remains in news for no reason, nothing substantial. Its always her beauty or cannes appearance or some modeling that she is so much written about, not her work.

someone saying ash as "lambi race ki ghodi", all her hits devdas, ja, dhoom2 except guru are with big stars who anyways would have given a hit. Her next projects are also with rajnikanth and hrithik roshan. So these films are bound to do well.
for her comparison to preity and rani, they are good actresses specially rani. They are not looking for hits anymore as they ruled for 5 consecutive years. They act and they are looking for good roles. Dont you think rani could have got in rnbdj.
