Apparently that is what the critics are saying 😃 ---------------------------------------------------------------
Performance of Anushka Sharma -

Now let's move to acting department and first we'll talk about Anushka Sharma. One thing that I noticed is that people are comparing Deepika Padukone and Anushka Sharma, even the press is doing that. So who is the better actress? Anushka Sharma hands down.

She is totally lovable as the fun loving Punjabi girl and she looks beautiful, too. There is modulation in her voice which is clearly missing in Deepika and her acting is marvelous. Dialogue delivery is superb and she shows all the emotions while speaking.

All the people in theater clapped and whistled when she drove the bike, do I need to say anything more? Best debut actress of 2008 awards belongs to her.-THE NEWS DOSE.COM

Debutant Anushka Sharma is a real find! She is leaps and bounds above Deepika Padukone who debuted opposite the King Khan last year. She has a very bright career ahead of her. Her beauty is not the usual fair skin, light eyed variety but yet her face keeps you looking at her without blinking. A big thumbs up for her, for sure!-INDYA.COM

In a sense, Anushka Sharma comes across as a perfect choice for such a film. A complete fresher to showbiz, Anushka does a convincing job playing the vivacious girl who has lost her love and her father.

Playing the pretty-looking Taani, Anushka is every middle-class boy's dream partner come true ' when she finds her husband's colleagues have invited themselves over, she keeps her sorrow aside and plays the perfect host. She also cooks and cleans for him. And guess what, she's one helluva dancer and can pack a punch on a motorbike too!-BUZZ18.COM


Newcomer Anushka complements Shah Rukh despite being years younger to him. She has matched step-to-step with the King Khan in the popular number "Dance Pe Chance". She has emoted well and holds much promise.-THAINDIAN.COM

Anuksha Sharma proves to be a good find-REDIFF.COM

A flawless performance by debutant Anushka Sharma-INDIAGLITZ.COM

Anushka Sharma is definitely star material -- her's is the typical North Indian beauty (described in those areas, as 'gori chitti laal tamatar'-- very fair with cheeks as red as tomatoes). Sharma's dialogue delviery is impressive and she performs all the ranges of her character with amazing confidence and alacrity.-SIFY.COM

Debutante Anushka Sharma is assured and upright but you wouldn't kill to eat paani puris with her, the way Suri-cum-Raj does.-HINDUSTAN TIMES.COM

Anushka Sharma seems tailor-made for the role and stands up well to Shah Rukh. She is sweet and vulnerable in the movie, and you wish that her career does not slump like Gracy Singh's did after Lagaan.DNAINDIA.COM
And SRK is helped in no small measure by one of the brightest star discoveries in recent times ' debutant Anushka Sharma. All that we can say about this girl and her performance is that when you watch her it's like watching an actress who is ten films old. Move over, all you contenders for the best female newbie of the year. Rab Ne' may or may not make it, but Anushka Sharma will.-RAJSHRI.COM

For a newcomer, anushka really knows how to make the camera capture her good side.-EMIRATES BUSINESS 24/7

The casting of a non-glamorous, pudgy-faced Anushka Sharma as Taani helps emphasize Chopra's point that even homely and plain people are deserving of great love'if God wills it.MSN.COM

The debutante Anushka enacts superbly. She has potential to rise in the Hindi film scene. -RADIOSARGAM.COM

Anushka has a few rough edges in her acting but considering it's her debut, she does pretty well.-APUNKACHOICE.COM

And this time the Bangalore girl Anushka Sharma also wins applause for her super acting, teamed with her pretty face and frame.MID-DAY.COM

Some notable things include the performances - both by Shah Rukh Khan and Anushka Sharma and the fact that its a very clean movie, a family movie.NEWSPOST ONLINE.COM

Anushka Sharma walks off with an applause-worthy performance. It's difficult to believe that this is her debut. RAB NE BANA DI JODI will be spoken more for the spunk in her performance than for SRK's dual role. Right from the first frame, until the last, Anushka captures the screen and keeps her character alive with effortless ease. She portrays a gamut of emotions with the grace of a seasoned pro. Here is a natural beauty with an impish grin and an infectious screen presence. A crazy dancer, too. A star is born.With her performance, she has thrown her hat in the ring for a plethora of awards. Best Actress, Best Debut, Fresh Face of the Year...For a newcomer, Anushka has handled well the pressures of standing up to one of the biggest stars in Bollywood. She matches SRK scene for scene.-GLAMSHAM.COM

New-comer Anushka doesn't look or dress like the typical Hindi film heroine. She is like a breath of fresh air, suits the part, and does justice to her role.MID-DAY 2ND REVIEW!

Anushka Sharma explodes on the screen like dynamite. Now, this is a heroine who reminds you of simple beauty. The kind that yester year's heroines possessed. She excels in the emotional scenes. A very confident & unabashed debut.BOI.COM!
There has been much speculation about new find Anushka Sharma. She is no beauty but has been presented very well in the movie. There is a certain girlish charm about her which goes very well with her character. Actually, she is perfectly suited to play the role of Taani, and turns in a very natural performance.MOVIETALKIES.COM

But as Shah Rukh himself says, the believability of Rab Ne is because of debutante Anushka Sharma. Playing the I-live-for-love Chopra heroine with a hint of realness, the former model comes up with a nicely nuanced performance, remaining impressively cool in the face of the SRK fireworks.THE TELEGRAPH

Anushka Sharma, flashing eyes and lovely smile, makes a promising debut, and not once does she look uncomfortable. Though we're not sure why someone like Taani who is sweet, and grounded would fall for someone like Raj who is loud, cocky and flamboyant.KHALEEJ TIMES.COM

Great reviews on Anushka. It is always good to have competition eventhough actors claim that their only competition is self.😛 Better competitors are incentive to do better. So buck up Deepika!

Hmm...so it is almost curtains for senior actors like Rani, Preity and the likes?

I think they should compare Anushka and Sonam because they both one film old. Deepika is 4 movies old now and she's like a senior even though she debute last year. I think Deepika is a senior actress. I know lots of pretty girls like Katrina don't know how to act but they are working on their acting in each movie but I think Deepika is her own competiton because she's already ahead of newcomers. My opinon. But I think Anushka is way far better than sonam.

Wait till Asin debuts. Then there will be another comparison with Deepika. Looks like Deepika is the gauge to measure all newcomers. Aptly so! 😛 Successful and charismatic.
