Okay, we have analyzed Priyanka and now it is Aish's turn. 😉 I know a lot of topics have also been made about Aish's acting ability and what not, but I really want to get down to the bottom of why some still think to this day that Aish cannot act!! The lady has had a very good run before she got pregnant. She gave numerous and strong performances in films such as Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, Taal, Josh, Hamara Dil Aapke Paas Hai, Kandukondain Kandukondain, Devdas, Chokher Bali, Raincoat, Guru, Provoked, Jodhaa Akbar, Sarkar Raj, and the latest being Guzaarish. Even her debut film Iruvar was acclaimed and she even shined in a small role for Khakee. I think in at least 15 films which I just mentioned have been worth watching. She clearly has excelled in dramatic and performance oriented roles. But, her forte hasn't been the masala films. She was terrible in Jeans, Albela, Hum Kisi Se Kum Nahin, Dil Ka Rishta, Kyun...! Ho Gaya Na and just about okay in films like Kuch Naa Kaho, Bride & Prejudice, and Dhoom 2. At least she has tried just about every film you can think of: the commercial films, the low-budget, the big-budget historicals, the stupid movies, etc. Her film variety is very impressive, you cannot deny that.
The main thing is even after all these years, some critics still think Aish can't act! But, I think she has won numerous awards and even tried her luck in Hollywood! The lady has proven her talent somehow and it turned into a long steady career that most heroines can dream of!

Please share your thoughts. Can AISH really ACT or NOT?!!

Goddaaamnit Goneforever! I was just thinking of opening up a "Is Aishwarya's career over" thread...😲😲

Nevermind...this should bring out some troll action too. 🥳


OT: The only time Aishwarya acted was in Raincoat. Everything else, she sucked. MY OPINION. 😃

With out sounding mean i dont think she can act. Not once has any of her performance moved me barring the last 2 mins of Devdas which ill give half credit to the background music lol. But yeah most of the time she makes me cringe.

You know that I have to agree with. People say HDDCS was one of her greatest films, but she had some cringeworthy moments there too. Personally, I think Raincoat is her only non-corny attempt at acting. Have not seen Provoked yet, but everything else she claimed to have "acted" in was a joke.

That movie is unbearable. The attempt at comedy was like W*F? Seriously, all those guards and shopping bags...?

On topic: I actually like watching aishwariya in drama's and period films. I think she shows lots of emotion with her eyes. I loved her acting in Provoked and Devdas, so for me she is a good actress.

You always predict what is going to be my next topic, don't you?! 😆 So, you honestly think her best films with SLB (HDDCS and Devdas) were not good performances? Those won her all the awards! 😛

she is an amazing actor!! actor par excellence! truly amazing! and I think she did wonders in DEVDAS! no one else could have done it better then her! Kareea also auditioned for it, but she did not get the role! apart from that her performances in HDDCS, Taal, Jodha Akbar, Guzaarish, Provoked etc. has also been pretty good!

@Goneforever: I did not say HDDCS and Devdas were bad performances but they were no great shakes either like they are made out to be. There was a lot of hamming in some of the scenes. She wasn't decent throughout. Whereas in Raincoat, I forgot it was Aishwarya, she played Neeru almost to perfection.
