Very provocative post.😆
But I think it is just a matter of who we like and a lot of people love Madhuri and love Rani.
Frankly, their good deeds and being a super human or having wonderful characters does not matter much to me. I simply enjoy their performances, these two actresses are two of the few that entertain onscreen without much dramabaazi offscreen.
Yes, actually both have given wonderful performances - Madhuri in Lajja, Mritudand, Beta, HAKHK, Dil to Pagaal Hain, Devdas, Tezaab, etc - she is full paisa vasool for a fan like me - she never fails in her performances.
Rani is of a different calibre, she is a strong actress and maybe she has not done anything groundbreaking, but really if I wanted to only watch those types of movies, I would just get a foreign movie channel.
Watching entertaining movies is just as important to me as watching a serious movie and both of these actresses have proved their worth in both streams. Kareena is another such actress - Versatile, strong, enthralling, entertaining. They are flexible enough to indulge in both the gaon ki ladki as well as the sheher ki chokri look. In the new lot of girls, I find only Vidya, Anushka and Sonakshi are any worth in the maintstream cinema. The rest are all glitz, glamour and stardust.
