So twice is not enough ?..OK..😆.. see this why i think Sri Devi is one of the best if not the best actor the country has ever seen.. yes certain actors have their pros & excel at something while barely hold on to a string in certain other departments ( dancing ability comes to mind ) but when they so suck at something as essential as comedy they barely qualify as good actors IMO .. the examples given by you - Tabu & Vidya - true they may not have tasted notable commercial success in comedy but that is hardly the measure of their comic talent .. If they arent convincing enough in their act , they are bad actors , box office pull is a different matter ..and I have no doubt in my mind that Vidya & Tabu can pull off comedy convincingly irrespective of the commercial success of their act ..the same cannot be said about Aish .. she just lacks something very essential to pull off comedy .. and so , she is not as much of a talented actor as some people say she is..if there is a popular perception that Aish is really not that great of an actor , i totally stand by it since its totally justified IMO..

BTW , Aish attempted comedy thrice hum kissise kam nahin , action replay & pink panther too ... try watching her in any of these films or any other selective comedy scenes from her films , you ll see what i mean ..


I hold Sridevi in high regard as an actor but she has also had quite a few cringeworthy performances in comedies. Comedy is not all about the actor. A lot of things have to fall into place. The day Aishwarya has all the things falling into place and she does not do justice to a role, I might agree with a few things you said. But as things stand today, nope.

Pink Panther 2? Really? She did not have any comedy to do there - so was playing this sophisticated, elegant lady and she did that well. Also in HKSKN, she was more of a damsel in distress and hardly had anything 'funny' to do. Action Replayy was one film where she had the opportunity but she was let down by the film, yet quite a lot of reviewers thought she was the best thing about the film.

I didn't think she was BAD in AR. She was cute and adorable but I didn't think she was OTT. Her character was not funny at all though.
I think the few times she had the opportunity on film to be funny, she couldn't do it. Her timing with comedy isn't there. Maybe she can try again and prove us wrong.

But I do think her filmography is underrated in some ways. Like if Rani or Kareena had done Raincoat they all would gotten National awards and shit ton of awards but she never did. Nor anything more Choker Bali--like she got the critical acclaim but never the appreciation from the industry. But yeah, I agree she never any career hindrances. She always got loads of good offers to chose from.

I love Rani, she is fabulous actor and a very good dancer, also everyone is voting for Ash 😔 so my vote goes to Rani. Yes I am biased but Aishwaria is winning anyway!!!😎

Ok , OC all i see now is 'excuses ,excuses' ..😆..Aish did not perform in ActionReplay because the film was bad , this sounds like a parent justifying the wrongdoings of their beloved spoiled child..😆.. Mr & Mrs Dursley and their son Dudley from harry potter series comes to my mind..😆..its hard to reason like this so i ll just leave it at that ..

You dont think elegant/sophisticated female characters have any scope for comedy ?.. pink panther was a comedy film , in such films whenever sophisticated heartthrobs enter , they still have their own comic part to play, sadly Aish was anything but funny even in the very last scene which was supposed to be funny ..

i rest my case , no point in going around circles here.. lets just say you have your own opinion , i have mine .. peace..😆

I think Akshay Kumar is amazing in comedy. Hera Pheri or even Welcome for example. Yet, there have been quite a few of his comedies which did not do well and he was not great in them too. So the point is that for comedy to come well, the script needs to be good as well.. the scene has to be written well and only then is there scope for it to be well-enacted. Don't know why you cant get such a simple logic.

In Pink Panther 2, tell me a moment where she was supposed to be 'funny', and tell me how else she should have enacted it. I am really curious to know.

Btw, not sure you've seen the Tamil film Jeans. The film was a comedy and she was very good in it.

Yes Juhi!! My God she's such an under rated actress like Urmila!!! She's a bloody good actress & no-one can trump her in the hardest roles that are comedy. Comedy is the hardest darn thing to do. To make people laugh is immensely difficult esp when it's scripted. And it is strange b/c Juhi doesn't seem to have natural humour & razor sharp wit like brill comedic actors like Riteish, B Jr, Saif, Arshad Warsi & Govinda, of course. She comes off as innocent, way too nice & saccharine sweet so she's clearly very very talented.


Sridevi is another amazing comedic actress. But then Sri is amazing at pretty much everything she does on-screen.



Agreed I forgot to mention Sridevi in people who pulled off comedy effortlessly. Juhi was also under rated in the dramatic roles. The way she enacted grey characters in Arjun Pandit and Teen Devarain was amazing. Urmila too was fabulous!

^ Yes these are amazing actresses who are SO under rated!! Even in the awful Gulaab Gang it was only Juhi who saved the movie a little. Hers was the only performance that was praised a tonne. Don't get me started on Urmila, she's way too under rated! I wish she would act b/c she's amazing.

Oh how could I forget Akshay Kumar?! Brill comedy actor. He's very good at physical comedy too like Govinda. Btw. Govinda is a very good actor. Not only I comedy but he's another under rated actor in other genres of acting.

What film would those be?



The scene with Paresh Rawal in Dil Ka Rishta where he's faking an heart attack, the scene in Kuch Na Kaho when she and Abhi so to the club to meet that pony girl, and those initial scenes in Kyun Ho Gaya Na with Vivek, especially the football scene where she's dancing around. She was cute, but not funny.

Ash was really good in Action Replayy inspite of the lousy script. Lot of reviews called her the best thing about the film.

Like this scene for example, she was so cute, funny and amazing. Also love the fact that she perfectly adapted the 70's mannerism and style of talking : [YOUTUBE]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hlEXvm7VgUY[/YOUTUBE]

I am sure she will shine in a good comedy, just needs a good director.
