wow so some people are claiming that Ranbir was a hit at the BO before APKGK what a lame excuse he was flop before APKGK, ranbirs most succesful movie before APKGK was BAH which ONLY became a semi hit, so how on earth was he a hit star before APGK, it was kat who is the reason behind the BO success of APKGK, the movie was on her shoulders, after APKGK ranbir didn't make succesful films at BO like salesman, anana anjani, it was first with Raajneeti again he saw a big succes.


And LMAO Imran has become a huge star? since when? giving one super hit movie doesn't make u a BO star, so MBKD is resting on kats shoulders, the movie has no big hero.

So I don't agree with the fact that kat acts with people who is successful at BO, because one ranbir never was succesful before APKGK, too imran is not a big star at BO etither, 3 Neil had no hits before NY plus John only had dostana, 4 if kat only does movies with actors who is succesfull at BO then why on earth did she just sign 2 movies opposite akki, who is one of the most flop actors now, so this excuse that she signs movies with only succesful actors at BO is not true.

Ranbir was popular before Ajab also. He wasn't a nobody like Ranveer Singh was before BBB happened. He came with the huge hype of being the Kapoor scion, debuting in a Sanjay Leela Bhansali film (who at the time was considered pretty darn good) along with another star kid Sonam Kapoor. I personally didn't think so, but he was a craze amongst the female population also. Saawariya flopped but Ranbir walked away with all the praise. And after this he was always in the news for his relationship with Deepika. Like mystic said, just because his movies at the BO before Ajab happened weren't super duper hits doesn't mean Kat is the only reason why people showed up to watch Ajab. Btw he wasn't never successful at the BO before Ajab. BAH and WUS were both semi-hits.
Rocket Singh was badly promoted..no one knew the movie was releasing. AA had hype and made money when it released, but the bad script caught up with it in the end and it ended up being an above average film.
No MBKD doesn't rest completely on Katrina's shoulders. Imran just had a super hit in the form of Delhi Belly and his rom coms are all hits barring BKB. He's not a nobody. Ali Zafar had TBL last year and he's popular as a singer. And its a YRF film.
John was basking in the success of Dostana. NY had many contributing factors in its success as I already said before. I don't think katrina can be given 100% of the credit for that movie.
Akshay's movies may be flopping left right and center but they still get good openings..plus the Akki-Kat pairing is popular.
Has Katrina ever worked with a completely flop or unknown hero--in a movie with only her and the flop hero as the main leads? No. They were all rising at the BO (had recent successes) or were successful at the BO. I am not saying that she didn't contribute to the successes of those movies..simply saying that she played her cards right and worked with the "right" people also.

She is the Queen bee no doubt. And naysayers have been saying "she is nearing a fall" for the last 4 years. So far, she has just gone from strength to strength.. grabbing the best directors, best actors, most hits, most fame, most.everything. And coming to the "she can't act" refrain.. the audience has given the message loud and clear. It doesn't matter to them. So, no amount of Internet angst and hand-wringing about the falling acting standards in Bollywood will have any effect on the common man on the street who actually spends his hard-earned money on a movie ticket and do not watch his movie on Torrent for free. He, and others like him, decides whose movies are successful and whose aren't.



That's what I've been saying all along...people don't care about her "acting"...they just love her...PERIOD...Can people explain love?...NO!!
Kat is my girl...and I don't give a crap either whether or not she can act...she is so endearing and real...and most important of all...she really tries hard to please her fans..
she recently said in an interview that she always listen to what her fans want...she takes their concerns at heart...and she does her best to apply them.
And you know she's being honest because she's a cancer...they are very sensitive...yet hardworking.
She knows people say that she cannot act and I'm sure that she's doing her best to improve.

Her hindi has already improved so much it is mindblowing.
All those people who criticize her hindi accent...how many of you have been living outside of India...let say in the US...for the last 5 years and who speak flawless english without an accent?...I bet not many.
Anyway, I love Kat and she's just getting started in her fame and popularity.
Robert De Niro is one the greatest actors the world has ever seen...but he's certainly not the most popular...
I wish people will understand that acting and popularity are two different criterion that attract people in the theater... and the two do not necessarily go hand in hand...
The latest examples are DABBANG and READY...
what acting was in those movies? Salman can't act for his life...yet those 2 movies are blockbuster.
He himself said that he's an entertainer and does not give a crap about awards and S**T..
Go KAT!!!

if all everyone needed was "SOLID acting", then nandita das, koko,tabu, irrfan and nassiruddin shah would be the superstars and would be getting paid more than priyaka, kareena, srk and hrithik...


clearly thts not the case..., to rake in the moolah, u need a grip on the masses...and that is achieved through sheer charisma and entertainment value...its whts called "holding court" and it involves much more than merely emoting on screen...u've got to establish a connect...

and as far as i can see, kat is doing that brilliantly...when shes on that screen, ppl watch...lemme rephrase that...when shes onscreen,ppl ogle...now that maybe coz of her looks, her body whatever...but truth is, shes doing something right which others arent which is why she is at the top of her game today..



I couldn't have said it better!!!!

Namastey London: SHE was the hero of the movie; HIT...Ajab Prem: Ranbir was/is not such a big hero, so her popularity contributed: HIT
NEW YORK: JOHN, NEIL not big heros: HIT;...RACE: SAIF was not a big hero, even now, he's still not considered one: HIT...I can go on...but it's pointless...Please give credit when it's due even when you don't like someone.

i meant HERO-HEROINE... no MultiStar, No Love-Triangles...



solo means unaccompanied... let's see her giving a hit without any male actors... both films had Akshay Kumar and Ranbir Kapoor, both big stars... let's see her coming with a complete new comer, or performing alone without any male actor.. and then we'll talk.

Aamir, SRK and Salman, all can give hits without any female stars and with new comers, can Katrina do that?, it waits to be seen.


Boy!! Aren't you a hard one to satisfy!!!
We are talking about the power of heroines...now you want to compare KAT with heros???
Why do you think even the biggest hero SRK has signed a movie with her?...because she's a crowd puller!!
if she can draw crowds for a movie like TMK and make it into a semi HIT...in other words , if people go watch her even when they know that she's only in for 10mn...what do you think they will do if they can have a whole 2 hours ogling at her???
Trust me body...she will make you eat your words!!!

Namastey London had Akshay Kumar in it. He had prior succeses at the BO with phir hera pheri, waqt, etc.. Katrina hardly had any BO standing when Namastey London released. Her only hit was maine pyar kyun kiya prior to this.
And Race was a multistarrer.

I disagree about APKGK being a success only because of Katrina, it was both Katrina and Ranbir who made the film a success. I know Ranbir didn't have much luck at the box office before this but that doesn't mean he wasn't popular, he does have a fan following and his pairing with Katrina is liked.
Katrina may not be the best actress in the business but she isn't bad either. I think Katrina has come a long way from when she began, she has worked hard to improve herself and prove critics wrong. She is smart in the film she chooses, I like that she is choosing more films where she is more than just a glam doll.

Hoe could I have missed this thread lol. Ranbir is no way a top actor. Ajab si was success only because Katrina was in it, because she was giving hits prior, he on the other hand was barely surviving. In Rajneeti there was a starcast, but it was Katrina's 20 second speech that was highlighted. Since than Ranbir's movies again are nothing praiseworthy. Anyhow, don't like him nor his acting. Hoping what I read is true and that deepika is working in aryan;s next

He should jus leave bolly. Imran will rock now.
