I'll try to make it an healthy discussion,I expect the same from you guys =)
Rani M.
1) Overrated. (Black is Fa kin shiii. It's not half as good as Miracle Worker...forget half, not even a quarter or nickel).
-Look,for you Black might be overrated including her performance BUT for the majority,it is NOT.Some people even the non-fans label it as the One of the Best performances ever by a leading lady in Bollywood.I've even seen HATERS going around and accepting that how brilliant and amazing Rani was in Black.Even the harshest of critics including the one's who are ALWAYS against her,writing her off couldn't help but agree that she was terrific in Black.
But then again opinions differ,you think that Rani in black is overrated but I & majority of people DO NOT think so.I am not saying that you can't dislike her acting but HONESTLY,degrading her by calling her talentless is something which is hard for me to accept.Come on,give the lady the due where she deserves-she IS talented and its a fact.😃
2) No, NOKJ is not path breaking. Neither is Hum Tum or Saathiya. 😵
-No one EVER said that NOKJ is path-breaking.But her performance in the movie was definately rock solid.Many people LOVED her in the movie and appreciated her.And same goes for Hum Tum and Saathiya.I agree that even these two are not path-breaking but they aren't nutcases either.I personally liked ALL three of them and I thought she was great in all these movies.But then again,its a matter of opinions-you'd surely disagree.
3) She has had disasters early on in the career, and post the Black, Hum Tum days as well. So where does she get the queen tag? Some take it way too seriously.
-If she has had disasters,she's had her share of blockbusters and superhits too.Even if she has given flops,there hasn't been a SINGLE flop where her performance wasn't appreciated.She's labelled the Queen because she has set such records which no one else has ever had.
She's the only actress among her contemporaries to have sweeped Best Actress Awards for 2 consecutive years.
She's been the ONLY actress to have won both the Best Actress and the Best Supporting Actress Award in the same year for the same films,respectively(BA for the same film & BSA for the same film)
She's been the ONLY actress to have EVER won both the Best Actress Popular and the Best Actress Critics Award in the same year for the same movie.
She's the ONLY actress among her contemporaries to have won awards for ALL her movies released in a particular year.
She's the ONLY actress with the MOST number of SFK awards & Filmfare Awards(6,along with Nutan and Kajol)
She's been the ONLY actress to have swept IIFA Best Actress Award for THREE consecutive years.
She's been the ONLY actress to have been labelled the Most Powerful Actress #1 for THREE consecutive years.
In 2004,she was the #1 Powerful actress and the ONLY actress to have featured on the FF Main Power List.
On Women's International Day 2007,a special article was released acknowledging the best of Bollywood actresses.Rani topped among ALL her contemporaries and attained the 4th position on the All-Time Best Bollywood Actresses Ever Listing.
....And her name itself signifies her status.You need any more reasons as to why she's labelled as the Queen of Bollywood? Hits and flops are not the ONLY things that matter you see😃
4) What else do you recommend me to watch of hers other than Black, Hum Tum, Saathiya, NOKJ.
-What else I would recommend you to watch of hers other than those movies? If you solely talk about performances,then these are the one's:
Yuva
Veer Zaara
Raja Ki Aayegi Baraat
Kuch Kuch Hota Hai
Bunty Aur Babli
Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna
Baabul
Laaga Chunari Mein Daag
Mehndi
Saawariya
Hey Ram
......Again,these are SOLELY BASED ON PERFORMANCES.But then again,who knows what kind of performance do YOU actually label as a "great performance"...Depends on person to person😊
5) Why should I look up to her off screen? She smokes, she curses, EDIT
-Who anyways told you to look upto her off-screen?😕 Some of her fans do,but that's their choice.No one ever told her haters or non-fans to look upto her OFF-SCREEN.We've always maintained that if anything,she should be looked upto as an actress which we TRULY believe,she's a great one.
I know you won't believe this but she DOES not smokes and how I know that,I am sure you won't be interested to know😆 She curses? Maybe yes.But then again who doesn't? Even you do & so do I.Let's be realistic.Celebrities are NO SAINTS,they do alot of stuff which normal people do & NORMAL people DO swear,so? Its a part of one's daily life.So yes!🥱
P.S. I did not offend anyone here intentionally and I expect the same from everyone else =)
