Sonam in Neerja or Deepika in Piku? - Page 3

Honestly speaking, Neerja as a movie is way more special for me. It's so positive and inspiring at every level . It shakes you and leaves you in a thinking mode. Neerja's charecter is one of those which you'll always carry with you and the positive influence it has on you is much greater. And the fact, that Sonam lived such a character so gracefully will always make me choose it over Piku which didn't really move me as such.

Loved both but Deepika in Piku a tad bit more. I am in the minority here who doesn't think that the presence of AB and Irrfan can belittle a fantastic performance by Deepika in the film.The common link between both the films I think is the subtlety of the characters and how both the actors have performed accordingly to what the characters demanded. And i found Deepika better for the small nuances she does here and there throughout the film. Like those small looks she gives at the breakfast table, etc.. And also the mileu was very much present in Deepika's portrayal of Piku..Like I could only see the bong Piku in her and not the South Indian Deepika. This is something I found missing in Sonam's portrayal of Neerja... Like at many places she appeared to be herself and not the character (maybe due to her accent or something).. I mean i was missing some small nuances at places in Neerja which i think could have added a lot more to her portrayal of Neerja, though she did give a really good performance.

So yeah, as an independent performance, Sonam was great in Neerja but if compared to Piku, I think Deepika did a better job.

And just like how people find it hard to appreciate Deepika and her contirbution to the film just because it also stars Amitabh and Irrfan, should we also stop appreciating Sonam's contirbution to the film just because it's based on a braveheart and already has that emotional dramatic connect with the audience?

We already know that Amitabh and Irrfan are amazing actors and Neerja is already an emotionally touching story which will click with the audiences if you cast any good actress but inspite of all this, both Deepika and Sonam have given something of their own, their own contirbution which makes the films even better.

highly disagree. many ppl in piku reviews said deepika was all screaming and not at all looking like a Bengali,same u say sonam was herself and her accent.i found deepika in first half very loud , second half was much better. but still its my view . not every one has to agree with. I found sonam was fit for Neerja ,though I was feeling low but when review start coming every body was praising her.

I couldn't figure out what was so special in Piku?? It took me 3 days to finish the movie on my computer screen at the comfort of my home (and my cousin left it midway) spare me the horror how could someone even stand that nonsense in a theatre 😕

Piku was not only a Deepika movie, it was an Amitabh movie, it was an Irffan movie too.

Neerja was an out and out Sonam movie.

Don't compare apple with oranges. Let deepika do a movie without any strong cast and carry the movie on her shoulders to success, then we compare.

Piku. It was so so relatable to see her with family, friend or aunt or even the drivers ( her child!)

Deepika in Piku. Her dialog delivery was fine in this one too and she looked stunning

Deepika in Piku was consistently and delightfully in charachter. She also managed to bring in nuances into the role, something only a high-caliber performer can do. The expressions, the emoting and dialogue-delivery were all pitch-perfect.

Oh and yes Sonam's accent is horrible! Can't believe she grew up in a Hindi speaking family 🤢

A month ago this poll would have been:

Deepika 50 votes
Sonam 3 votes

The comments would have been:

Sonam is a joke and can't act to save her life.

Gotta love the unexpected
