He might have given her an A, but he still displayed his dislike in the paragraph:

Padukone had the one release this year, Cocktail, which performed adequately at the box office, but earned her lots of critical raves. I'm not one who agrees, but clearly Padukone -- who is admittedly taking risks with her choice of films, relatively speaking -- is being heralded as a stunning girl who can also act.

Why does he dislike her so much? 😆


Ahh, I didn't actually read the article..just saw the grades. 😆 I have no clue...all I know is that he's good friends with Sonam (though he's objective about her acting)...and he likes Katrina a lot (not for her acting per se)...and they're both Deepika's competitors?

True...so who knows what he's basing it on now. 😆

PS, I think for Vidya it was because she gave a superhit film all by herself with no other known name in the film at all, at least not to Bollywood audiences. 😆


If Critics n Media terming "KAHAANI" as such a big hit, y not it even crossed 100 cr?? Y didn't it was pitched to touch magical 200 cr??

This movie is Quality Cinema, Intelligent, Excellent performance, Every Single term by which a film is termed a FINE CLASS, y didn't media ask this film 2 make big on Box Office???

This film hardly made 60-65 cr max that too with Single Solo release, What extra special this film has done which other films haven't??

Even a Average Khiladi 786 has made 63 cr, not even clean HIT.

For Kahaani, media never ask 100 or 200, but ya they will pitch every other film 2 touch skies 😆

Why bias nature for Vidya or her films?

Public image and box office, apparently and not their talent as he implied. Which is kind of confusing because doesn't talent partially play a hand in public image (ie. Deepika being seen as a good actress, led to positive public image, hence her A grade).

Whatever it is, it's confusing. 😆

Vidya deserves the praise man. She is not a show piece behind some kumar or devgan- she carries her movies on her own shoulders and come on a movie like kahani doing 70 crores business- don't you think its worth the praise?

i mean if asin or sonakshi were in it- they might have shut the shows after 3 days.

O really. Even if we remove Cherry from Race 2, still it will be bigger success, Cherry has just some seconds appearance in movie, while Asin n Sonakshi always features much longer in trailer itself, not like Cherry ji 😆

I can challenge you Girl, no matter you are over passionate just to show Asin as a Maid of some sort, she given role like Kahaani will excel more, Can gurantee Movie will not be shut in 3 days, Itni Badi Badi Gappein bhi na kaha karo, She is not like cherry who has just 2 hits in 12 years 😆

It's a big hit, a big success because a film made on a budget of 8 crore made 60-65 crores net in India and over 100 crores worldwide. A film with no known stars but Vidya Balan (a WOMAN), a director who made the biggest flops in Bollywood (Aladdin), no hit music, a PREGNANT woman covered from head to toe as it's lead.

How many films with only a woman as the known name earned 60-65 crores Billa? 😆

This year, there were 3 films resting solely on the actress's shoulders with no other big names associated: Kahaani, English Vinglish, and Heroine. Box office wise, Kahaani has earned a lot more than those films just in India.

You know Billa, by comparing Khildi to Kahaani, you just made Kahaani look infinitely times better instead of the opposite which you were aiming for. 😆 So an Akshay Kumar with double the screens earns just about as much as a Vidya Balan film now. GO VIDYA! 👍🏼
