At the end of the day, no matter what the fate of her film at the BO is, I still respect her ability to take risks.

Agreed. There must be a reason why all the film-makers think that PC, and only PC, is capable of pulling off multiple roles. Why doesn't any of the other heroines get offered those roles. I saw bits and pieces of SKm and I thought PC was really good.

Commercial success and acclaimed acting are like parallel railway tracks.. they never meet. I can't think of a single recent movie where the heroine's acting was praiseworthy AND it received BO success. Maybe BBB?? but, it wasn't too big a hit anyway. So, single or multiple roles.. the take-home lesson is great acting will ensure BO failure. So, choose your poison.

Vidya and Rani in NOKJ! Vidya in ishqiya the movie was an above average or atleast an average (it wasn't a flop for sure) and she got the best reviews.

I do think that you can have commercial success along with critical acclaim in bollywood.

Kareena Kapooor - JWM

Vidya Balan - Ishkiya, NOKJ, Pa, bhool bulaiya

Anushka Sharma -BBB (this was a huge success, it wasnt qualified a super hit because it was a sleeper hit, first 2 weeks were slow because people had zero expectations. It was brought back to theatres after TMK crashed, thats how high the demand was)

Kangana Ranuat - Gangster

Ashwarya - Guru

But I agree, it's still not as common as it should be.

What actually happens is, if an actress is assaying 334434 characters in the same venture.. people gets confused as film maker themselves dont know what to show and where. It wasn't PC fault. I think if given a chance to her, she can prove herself.. but the script needs to be well worked on... thats what i think.

for once someone got it right. Issue w/ script not PC's acting.

I honestly enjoyed the movie. It was cool in a twisted, psychotic way. 😆 I mean I like the "6 foolproof ways to get rid of a horrible husband" thing 😆

Only if it were a comedy...if you think about it was kind of a dark comedy...I'm glad you enjoyed it...I had to watch it twice b/c my mom didn't understand it the first time and she was determined to watch again so I can explain everything!😆
