Never a fan of shilpa's but her acting in the movie was top notch

how come such a performance was left unnoticed. She should have won something for it, if not the main awards at least the critics ones
she impressed a lot of critics
here is what taran wrote

"PHIR MILENGE belongs to Shilpa Shetty completely. She delivers, what can be rightly called, the performance of her career. The viewer feels and empathizes with the character mainly because of her effective portrayal. She conveys the pain and the emotional upheaval through her expressive eyes, making it amongst the most memorable performances the year has seen so far."
apart from taran many others praised her too but I can't post them all here
point being- she should seriously have been encouraged and won something. Very rare have we given her something performance oriented and the one time it was given she nailed it
what are your thoughts?

It is regarded as her best performance. Very brave of her to do at that time. But the film was a flop. If it was released today I'm sure her performance would have received far greater appreciation.
That year all the popular awards went to Rani for Hum Tum. Kareena won the Filmfare Critics Award for Dev.

I liked that movie very much and her performance from what I've seen in her films I always felt she was a decent actress.

Everybody was good in that movie; Shilpa, Abhishek and Salman and I loved it. Maybe it did not get recognized as it was a flop, which is too bad

Shilpa and abhi were really good

Salman was hardly there and you can see how awkward he gets while doing emotional scenes. It is like during the scene where he was dying..i wished he would have let himself go for once and be fully in character but he holds it in..good he realized he shouldn't do such emotionally driven movies anymore

I'll tel you why Shilpa was ignored:

1. She doesn't suck up to Khans
2. She doesn't have a sugar daddy
3. She doesn't have KJO forcing her down everyone's throat
4. She's not from a film family
5. Movie released in 2004 - audiences were closed minded back then and not open to such movies
