PC did it in anjaaa anjaaniRani did it in dil bole hadippaPriety did it in several movies of hersAishwarya did it in Robot and Action replay(sort of)Konkona sort of played it in Laaga chunri mein daagGenelia did it in Jaane tu ya jaane naKangana did it in Tanu weds manuBut did any of them from the above list match the amount of critical acclaim, awards and fan following kareena got from playing that one character "geet"?I truly believe geet is an iconic character because there have always been such madcap crazy roles...but did anyone ever excel in that role and establish the same kinda connect kareena did with geet?Juhi did numerous bubbly roles and so did preity...but are any of them particularly as memorable? Is there that one character which remains in ur mind years after u saw the film?Its very easy to play "different" roles...u have a set graph and a set of nuances for that particular role which u cannot go beyond...but whats more difficult is playing a cliched, done to death character with spunk and spontaneity...which is what i think kareena did perfectly in JWM...and which is exactly why i rank this performance of hers above all others like Omkara, dev, chameli and refugee...Acting is not always about playing "difficult" or "different" roles...its also about playing an ordinary role differently...
