Deepika Padukone, Priyanka Chopra, Kareena Kapoor or Kangana Ranaut - Who is Bollywood's No.1 Heroine?
Over the last two years, the tussle for the coveted title has gotten intense. The most worthy contenders for the throne are these 4 glamzons...
In the year 2015, who deserves to be the No. 1 heroine of Bollywood? The question gets more and more difficult to be answered as Bollywood actresses belt out hit after hit with effortless ease. Who is more deserving than the other? We want you to VOTE and help us decide. But don't worry as we'll help you make the decision by laying bare some basic facts about the top 4 contenders for the title! Are you ready?
Power Ranking : 1
Latest releases - Piku, Happy New Year, Finding Fanny
Number of hits: 2
Number of flops: 1
Upcoming releases - Bajirao Mastani, Tamasha, Anand L Rai's next
The year of 2013 was clearly Deepika's as the super success of her Sanjay Leela Bhansali film Goliyon Ki Rasleela - Ram Leela ensued her reign in the film industry. After that came the year and 2014 and Dippy maintained her strong foot-hold on the Box office with her Shah Rukh Khan starrer magnum opus Happy New Year. Alongside, she satiated the actor in her who wanted to do meaty roles by signing the slightly off-beat Homi Adajania film Finding Fanny. But the big gamble she played in 2015 is the one that really paid off. Deepika's portrayal of Piku in Shoojit Sircar's film turned out to be the actress' career-best decision as it not only added qualitatively to her resume but also went on to make it astonishingly to the 100 crore club (worldwide)! Fans and trade watchers alike are expecting big from her upcoming releases - Bajirao and Tamasha. Will she manage to become the No. 1 actress again? You decide!
Kangana Ranaut
Ranking: 2
Latest releases - Tanu Weds Manu Returns, Queen, Revolver Rani, Rajjo
Number of hits: 2
Number of flops: 2
Upcoming releases - Katti Batti, Rangoon, Ketan Mehta's Rani Laxmi Bai
The year of 2014 turned out to be as good as it can get for any Bollywood actress for Kangana! Her Vikas Bahl film Queen became an unprecedented phenomenon catapulting Kangana into becoming Bollywood's most prized possession! From the Box office success to the National Award win, Ms Ranaut was praised by each and everyone alike. While many suspected that Kangana won't be able to hold ground with all the sudden success, the uninhibited acting talent went on to push the envelope even further with Tanu Weds Manu Returns' Box office success! Post that, Kangana has naturally become the most sought-after actress in Bollywood. Rumours about her signing Sultan opposite Salman Khan cropped up a while ago but Kangana shot them down. While her next film Katti Batti hasn't generated a lot of buzz around it's release, Kangana has signed Vishal Bharadwaj's Rangoon opposite Shahid Kapoor. So her fans and trade experts alike await the film's release with bated breath!
Kareena Kapoor Khan
Ranking -3
Latest releases - Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Singham Returns
Number of hits: 2
Number of flops: 0
Upcoming releases - R Balki's next with Arjun Kapoor
After rejecting a string of films to mark her comeback in Bollywood, Kareena chose Ajay Devgn starrer Singham Returns to put her back on the map. While the film went on to enter the 100 crore club at the Box office, it hardly did anything for Bebo's popularity. She then went on to do a cameo appearance in Akshay Kumar's 2015 film Gabbar is Back, which went on to become one of the first big releases of the year. As the wheels started churning, Kareena signed Bajrangi Bhaijaan opposite Salman Khan and even though it was bit role the film shines bright on Bebo's resume s guess which finger she is holding up for her haters! She is also the reigning queen of item numbers as her Mera Naam May stint for Brothers has grabbed all the necessary eyeballs! She was to play the role of a schizophrenic prostitute in Raj Kumar Gupta's Section 84 but she recently walked out of that project citing script issues. The mammoth success of Bajrangi Bhaijaan has definitely put Bebo back on the map like one wouldn't have imagined and some of the superhit good luck is likely to spill over her next with R Balki and Arjun Kapoor! Do you agree?
Priyanka Chopra
Power ranking: 4
Latest releases - Dil Dhadakne Do, Mary Kom, Gunday
Number of hits: 2
Number of flops: 1
Upcoming releases - Bajirao Mastani, Gangaajal 2
Priyanka is officially the BIG DEAL of Bollywood. From kicking up storms with her power-packed performance in Mary Kom, to becoming the first ever Bollywood actress to have signed a deal and land a show with the biggest television studio in the West, PC owned the year 2014 in every way. Along with making her mark internationally, PC became the most-loved Bollywood actress with a severely loyal fan-base. While her 2015 film Dil Dhadakne Do didn't break any Box office records, her portrayal of a woman caught in an unhappy marriage was lauded far and wide. By signing Prakash Jha's Gangaajal 2, Priyanka cemented her position as the most bankable actress in any female-driven Bollywood movie. She is currently shooting for ABC's Quantico wherein she plays the lead, creating history and making Bollywood proud! In Bajirao Mastani, we will get to see a new side of Priyanka which we hope to love.
Katrina Kaif is not entirely out of this race but she is not as strong a contender as the others as she hasn't had any releases post Dhoom 3 (2013). Her next release Phantom opposite Saif Ali Khan will be out this year. Apart from that we have Fitoor and Jagga Jasoos to look forward to! Anushka Sharma too is missing from the list despite giving a solid performance in NH 10 because we didn't get to see much of her in Dil Dhadakne Do and Bombay Velvet was an unspeakable disappointment. in the longer run, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan might emerge as a worthy competitor as her upcoming films Jazbaa and Ae Dil Hai Mushkil seem promising.
What is your list?
