So why can't i being a member entitled to voice my opinion pass a comment on some one's look regardless of whose fan i am or not..have i said i am an alia bhatt fan coz of how she looks? Why is it being assumed i find her the best looking thing? Can't i like her for other reasons? And just coz i happen to, it takes the right away from me to pass a comment on some one's looks on a free forum?


Just like Salman/ Katrina fans are not supposed to comment on acting ( ridiculous logic IMO)? 😆 I see that statement thrown around a lot like their own favorite is the second coming of Meryl Streep 😆

Nope. Veronica also required a lot of subtle silences and lost looks that Anu is n't good at. Her comic timing is very good but she approaches even her "sexy" charatcers without of bubbliness, which Veronica was not.
I agree with Roggie, Anu could not have done Naina or Leela either, but the same way Deepika can't do Shruti.

What's so special and irreplaceable about that role? 😕 The movie and the charecter, both were pretty average acc. to me...any good actor could have done that role...I don't think Deepika brought any peculiar essense to the role or something.

Even Diana Penty could have done that role 😆 Unremarkable and average.

I know right...I thought I was the only one. 😆 The role and movie must be special for Deepika but as a viewer...I found it to be pretty average and forgettable.

Couldn't agree more here, also @Krackjack... +1.

I just don't get the hype , Diana Penty could have done that role better IMHO.😆

DP was just average and nothing extra ordinary.

It was one of Deepika's better performances compared to her own track record hence it got all the attention 😆 Of course, you cant compare it to a Kahaani or Barfi but Deepika was considered to be a dismal actress before Cocktail so i guess ppl were just surprised with the improvement ( and i do think she looked her best as Veronica) 😆 Though IMO, she still has a long way to go before she can be hailed as a great actress..She can be good with her expressions but her dialogue delivery is unbearable..Same with Sonam 😆

I liked her in KCK but then she doesn't have a huge role there..so probably that doesn't count. Actually...If I don't like a movie, I don't care about the performances either. Cocktail was so cringe-worthy at many points that I couldn't care less about Deepika's performance. She looked good in Angrezi beat and Jugni though. 😛

Sonam's dialogue delivery is BAD. I was watching Dolly ki Doli and I burst out laughing during some serious scene. 😆
