And Katrina wouldnt survive if Madhuri was still in the industry. And Madhuri wasnt popular? Where? In the depths of the Pacific Ocean?
I disagree. No one cares for Madhuri today, the older generation have moved on, and the younger generation is hardly aware of her 'legendary' works. She was extremely popular at her prime, but sorta lost it from the late nineties as Kajol and Ash took her glory. Even the success of Devdas could not save her sinking career.
As for Yash's film with her, who cares anyway? I don't. 😆 DTPH and VZ were horrific enough to last me a lifetime. And SRK's face and hamming is a major turn off, so thank you very much. I am not even going to bother.
I guess Yash C. knows no one cares for him or his movies anymore, and that even the critics today are not fools to drool over heart-shaped balloons flying in the sky or people using dialogues straight ripped from Harlequin books. Hence he chose Katrina; on that way, the films is guaranteed a good opening at the very least. 😆
And at the actual topic: well, Madhuri was not a great actress, but even then Katrina is no way comparable to her in terms of acting. However, in terms of star power, Katrina is equal to her, if not marginally better!
