Has she improved? Yes.
But do i think she is an all rounder actress? Not quite.
Was Karishma better? Definitely.
Can i connect with her acting? Sometimes. Not always.
Can Kareena act? Yes.

Good topic.
(:

Frankly she is one of the few better actresses who are left today... Not even few are left just a couple of them who can really act without making me cringe and she is one of them...
Even her mediocre performances are pretty watchable...

I was one of those people who could not stand Kareena until JWM happened and only after finally acknowledged her acting abilities...so I'll be as honest as possible😆

Kareena can act; she can do comedy, dramatic, action, innocent, and not-so-innocent roles effectively. Yes I feel she overacts a lot, but there are other times that she can do scenes perfectly with the right amount of nuances...But even so I do think Kareena's demand is driven by the fact that she has no competition besides Aishwarya and PC for roles. It was extremely fortunate for her to do JWM around a time when the older actresses were turned out for the much younger lot because she now looks like a genius compared to them. I also want to attribute her success to her ability to stay in the game with the help of the big players, ie. the Khans and big movie franchises...WAF did nothing for her but a small role in Golmaal and 3 Idiots did

I can connect with her somewhat now as a viewer but I don't think I can ever fully be a fan of hers...I spent way too many years not liking her😆

Thank you all for writing down your opinions. I respect them all.

For me I've grown up watching Karisma. I find her a better actress in all aspects. Kareena's first few films I felt that she really overreacted. I think she has really matured as an actress, but somehow I fail to connect with her acting. WAF was a flop at the box office, but her performance for me stood out. On the contrary her performance in JWM was over the top and overrated in my opinion. I know my opinions are totally opposite of what most of you all think. But other than a couple of films like Yaadien and WAF her performances have never really touched me nor connected with me. Karisma's performances have almost always touched me and I've for the most part always connected with her performances. Yes, Kareena is in demand for a reason! Obviously directors have to like her acting in order to approach her for roles. I'm no director and neither am I an actress. I don't have any ability to judge Kareena (or any other actor/actress) for that matter. She may be one of the stronger actresses of today in comparison to others, but she has never connected with me and most probably never will. I have never liked her acting (except in a couple of films). She still hasn't done any role for me to go "wow that was exceptional." But if the audience and directors like her then I am nobody to judge her acting abilities. All the power to her and her fans!

I don't think Kareena can even do 2% of what Karisma could do (in the sense of expressing).

I am like you but still don't care much on her.I just tolerate her in movies I like because the other actors in it😊 Yet, she is the only one around as you said and really only PC is her competitor to get big roles. Preity went to IPL (she should have stayed and continued to give miss kapoor the much needed competition). Rani her movies just did not attract audiences anymore. Thats why PC and Katrina were able to sneak into the game and Kareena whose been there prior to these two got in good with the khans again, who she earlier had issues with when was with Shahid, and her role in kal ho na ho went to Preity because she wanted more money and got aggorant and was snubbed. Post JWM , no shahid she was back in the game.
But this cycle happens both Preity and Rani emerged because Kajol got hitched, Aish was thrown out major projects so these gals ruled.
Presently, I think Anushka, sonashki, and others will start to reign and give Kareena, PC, Katrina competition.👏 Once one gets hitched or no longer attract the crowd the newbies will take over. Thats why actresses span is not long. Unless things change in Bolly. I d personally like to see Preity return and with the Khans.
On TOPIC: Kareena will rule with bodyguard.

CPR: I agree...I was always more of a Karishma fan because I grew up with her movies too
