ppl can have their opinions...

say u dunt like kareena, or that u prefer karishma, no ones gonna argue with u

having said that, if ppl completely discredit all the good work tht kareena has done so far, then expect ur arguments to be retaliated.

Say karishma is a better actress than sonam kapoor - FACT
Say karishma is a better actress than kareena - debatable. Ppl have their preferences, because both have proven the fact that they can bloddy well act.

i too agree tht karisma is way better than kareena in acting anyday....i have also seen kareena in offbeat roles and she misses the spark..and i think she has a long way to go...more over the movies she got acclaimed were male dominated...omkara, dev, KURBAAN etc...in chameli she was good....but not something she could take everything as a storm. the script was written for Antara Mali, and somehow kareena succeeded but not fully...
even if FIZA is re-made kareena can put her 100 percent but only 60 percent will be left on screen. sure FIZA bombed at the box office...but it did that for karisma which kareena hasn't got.
sure kareena is on the top today..no doubt she is getting acclaim.. but yet she is prove her acting skills something that she can rave about herself.....

fair enough...i find both the sisters equally compelling on screen...maybe kareena a tad more, because acc to me, she has a better voice and a stronger screen presence than karishma...

but to each his own.

Ok people, just because she's doing strictly commercial cinema TODAY does not mean that Kareena never had skills.
If you have the interest in "offbeat cinema:, go check out Chameli, Yuva, Dev, or Omkara sometime. I'm sure you will be satisfied.
I've sorta stopped blaming her choices now. It makes sense. She's 30 years old. Heroines done last much longer. If she wants to do as much commercial as she possibly can before she's stopped being offered those commercial roles, let her. She's not gonna be able to do this much longer.

i dunt know why this karishma vs kareena thing always arises...if its debatable, they both are equally skilled according to me....ppl accuse kareena of giving preference to mindless commercial cinema, but so did karishma with all those govinda/salman/david dhawan entertainers.....


of course, she did a zubeidaa, a fiza, and she was FAR better in DTPH than madhuri (acc to me).....but apart from those, are they any more performances of hers which were highly acclaimed???(lemme know if im missing something)...

kareena did chameli, omkara, jab we met, kurbaan, dev, refugee...all of which fetched her immense acclaim. I dunt see how she can be termed as a "lesser" actress, when she too has proven her worth, just as much as her sister.

of course....u missed...how can u forget SHAKTI THE POWER..where she was so brilliant...also u forgot jaanwar..i know u will say tht she didn't receive much acclaim for the movie or u havent heard...also u r forgetting the fact tht kareena got already in the industry on her launching for which karisma has to really struggle in bollywood....if kareena too had acheived this by struggling i would have given it to her...coz dats called hardwork...its the hype that media made KAREENA so big enuff before her arriving...tht even a kid could tell that kareena is here to rule for a long very long time....and even if she acts....or not...hardly matters.....and that implies not just to her but to hrithik and abhishek as well.......abhishek has given more duds than anyone given in his career still he is in top.10 coz its just the HYPE and starbuzz and not his talent.

I think its about time people stop taking credit away from Kareena just because she's a star kid. Its really repetetive and annoying consideirng how many starkids have arrived and gone unnoticed.
Mimoh is Mithun's son, but hardly left any impact. Sonam Kapoor is regarded as anything but an actress.
Kareena has a very magnetic offscreen personality that keeps people interested. People are not stupid that they're just charmed by the name "Kapoor". I didnt give a damn about her last name and I'm a pakka Bebo fanatic. No, not because she's a kapoor, she's coz I find her very entertaining both on and offscreen.

She has gone through 10 years in this industry, through flops and hits, ups and downs, highs and lows. If today she has a credibility, she deserves it, NOT her family. Her father went NOWHERE with the same Kapoor tag.

they were unnoticed becoz they were not hyped like other big star kids

mimoh😆 does anyone hear abt his first movie jimmy? there was hardly any hype....also he is not the only one, jackey bhagnani puru rajkumar its a long list
abt sonam...she got wat she wanted( quite hyped )..who cares abt acting today...LOL

u haven't said the same thing if she was in place of Kangana. so you should not hide from the fact. its ok if you like her acting.

the credibility comes automatically in such cases especially when you are overhyped...deserving or not...its a long debate...but yes her family is an important aspect....moreover the hype that media given to her much before when she even arrived in bollywood. her father couldn't make it becoz he was never hyped like shammi kapoor or rishi kapoor kinda what happened to ranbir too ...and even saawariya flopped he is ruling..but according to me he is a better actor.

Umm, your responses totally missed my point. What do you mean HYPED like other starkids. Those are two different aspects. You keep hammering the starkids point, yet hyping is completely separate. Deepika Padukone was 'hyped". Most of the ruling celebs today are hyped. And Refugee may have flopped, but Kareena garnered unamous reviews. Even the most harsh critics, who normally tear actors apart, were praising her in refugee. She totally overshadowed Abhishek in the film.

If Kareena is hyped today, then good on her. People love her, and its not because she's a starkid.
How many "star daughters" do we even have? Very few.
Audiences are not fools that they'll keeping giving people chances becuase their fathers were amazing. You only get so many chances, then you strike out. Kareena won people over with her performance in JWM, not because people suddenly remembered, "GASP" omg, she's Raj Kapoor's grand daughter.

I don't know why it is sch a touchy subject to say Kareena has benefited from the Kapoor tag.
Don't we say the same for abhishek - that if he was not a Bachchan he would have been consigned to the BW rejected pile a long time ago? Kareena's career pre-JWM is almost exactly similar to Abhi's present day career. If Kareena had critical acclaim for Dev and Chameli in spite of 13-14 flops Abhi also has Guru, Yuva, Sarkar in spite of his long string of flops. The reason that Abhishek is still offered films and big banners and top heroines today is the same reason due to which Kareena managed to survive that period where every movie she was in tanked. You think anyone without a Kapoor or Bachchan last name would have managed to get these many opportunities to prove their box-office magic?
No one is denying that Kareena is talented and beautiful and deserves everything she has got thus far.. but to deny that her family lineage did not have a role in shaping and bolstering her career is stretching things too far.
