No one took Priyanka seriously until Aitraaz, which was her 6 or 7th movie. Even after that, she became crap again until Fashion in 2008. And now again shes pretty crappy doing 3 minute roles in Agneepath, Krish3 and probably Gunday.
Parineeti may be working with the same banners, but these banners are giving her strong performance oriented roles. That's why she has rejected movies like Holiday and Khiladi with Akshay Kumar. I personally feel her role in Ishaqzaade and HTP are POLES apart. She is not playing a bindas girl in HTP, its a completely different and versatile role.
And HTP may have faded away FOR YOU, but according to the Box Office, it had a VERY good 2nd Friday and is doing well. So thiking HTP is a huge flop or washout is wishful thinking.
