Flowerpots are used to enhance the beauty of a room. But they are not essential for living in the room.
Similarly flowerpot heroines are those who just enhance the beauty of the film but are not necessary for the film. They are replaceable and have very little screen space compared to the hero.
CE is an out and out masala film. And it is a rule that the heroines of masala films are just flowerpots. All they need is a pretty face, shake their butts, show their assets and dance around the bushes. But I found Deepika more than a mere flowerpot in CE. She did add some spice to the film which was necessary. She had ample screen space. And I feel she was the best choice for Menamma. What do you feel? Was she just a flowerpot who could have been easily replaced or she had an impact on the film?

No at all
She was even better than SRK in the movie IMO that's how good she was . Her performance made the movie even better.

IMO, she was not a flowerpot. Her character actually moved the story forward and, in some cases, actually took charge of the story and made decisions which affected both character and plot.

Even though SRK was the hero at the end, DP's character played a vital role in the film.


JMO.


P.S. - I believe DP was the PERFECT choice for the role.

She had a better role than SRK and was very much appreciated for her hilarious accent and comic timing!

Well yes!!! She had nothing much to do if you look at the story overall. It wasn't a performance orientated role for any where to begin with. She isn't involved as much throughout. Story was told on SRK's POV
But in that role she was given. She impressed many with her comic timing. Well I've seen the movie. CE is mostly about SRK.
