DG- Perhaps, yes the 90's actresses didn't have that kind of scope to prove their versatility like today's heroines do. But I don't think their roles were nonexistant either, you know? Manisha Koirala and Tabu's films definitely had a LOT of scope for them.

TWM, BBB, and MBKD may have been strong kickass roles that women in BW are getting now, but then the likes of DDLJ, KKHH, Raja Hindustani, Rangeela, Lamhe, Chalbaaz, etc were on par also in the 90's..and dare I say it, performed better. I personally am not fond of Kangana's performance in TWM. She was too OTT for me. And MBKD's 5 mins were torture enough 😆 Anushka though was awesome in BBB..

Even if today's heroines are getting "good roles," it's not like a lot of them are doing justice to them..like Sonam, Deepika, Katrina. Put any 90's actress in their roles, and they will deliver a performance at least 10 times better. So in a way, they shone even in their smaller roles with less scope..

Actually now that I'm thinking about 90's films..it wasn't ALL that horrible for actresses.

And yet Kareena's favorite film is DDLJ, so go figure 😉

And even if she was comparing cinema in general from 90s to today, doesnt that reflect onto the actors present during that era?

If the cinema itself is limited, donest have dimension, doesnt have the scripts that give the scope for something substantial, how can actresses be expected to have had better opportunities back then compared to the girls today?

@ bold: of course it does..but that doesn't just limit you to actresses, but actors also & everything else that comes with the film. Kareena began talking generally..the interviewer began talking generally & I found it a bit ridiculous how they both degraded 90s just like that..it was in a broad sense like heyyy, now we make exciting cinema..back then it was just..boring?

Didn't Kareena also mention how she doesn't feel we're "there" yet which is why a film like Bodyguard which didn't have a strong script still made it so big today..so is she indirectly trying to say we should only produce stuff that's relevant to her times? I just found that entire conversation baffling.

Not to mention her bringing up of David Dhawan films to prove her point. Like I said..cinema changes over time..what works today may not work tomorrow & things just get more advanced & technical with time.
