So you can write about the supposed success of actors or actresses here based on the number of movies that they're rumoured or signed on to do with xyz directors, but one movie does better business than their work was expected to or one contemporary gives a more commercially/critically acclaimed performance...and it doesn't matter how many movies you were doing. You're competing with the work released in the industry, not functioning within a vacuum of your own work which is all supposed to turn out amazingly. Kangana stole everyone person's thunder in Bollywood this year with a movie that pretty much no one was anticipating. Everyone else pales in comparison, man or woman.
If we're to talk about Anushka herself in a vacuum though, she is at the best stage of her professional career and personal life since she's come up with pretty solid security in both areas within the last 2 or so years. She's almost worked with everyone she wanted to work with (looks 'over it' in many interviews by how she talks about it) and has her own production house. When she takes up pretty much a cameo role in a movie (DDD) for the heck of it, you can tell she isn't fiending after spotlight or the #1 spot as people like to believe. She's doing work that she wants to, regardless of how meaty it is or not...that's the simplest way to put it. Looks like a good position to be in to me, because it doesn't seem she worries too much about what she's doing...it's just a day of work, not something she's cornering herself into depression for. She's got her name attached to PK's commercial success, NH10's critical success, DDD's 'urban buzz' and came out as one of the 'victims' of BV rather than shouldering much/any(?) responsibility for it...even if ADHM ends up being her last movie in Bollywood, she'll be considered as moderately successful and people will remember her as an actress that could actually act.
i really like this reply! sums it up very well!! 😳
