Best performance by a mainstream female actor in the past 5 years - Page 3

Another Option could have been added IMO ie all of the above😉...I liked Everyone's acting and enjoyed each n every role...👍🏼Each role has it's uniqueness and im glad that they have done justice to their respective roles

1. Vidya Balan in Kahaani

Vidya in Kahaani and Kangana in Queen!

I want to say Vidya in Kahaani but I'm going to say Kangana in Queen. The point of that movie and the character of Rani is something that resonates with one on a much higher level. I don't know how to mechanically separate between performance, roles and overall movies when they're done so well...so going by sentimental impact here.

Word. Everything you said.

Queen for me, as well. Love the movie, the performance and the character way too much.

From 2011-2016, in order of release, my Top 10 performances are:

Vidya in Kaahani. Sorry but all these Sonams, Kanganas and Deepikas don't even come close to her acting prowess.

I was astonished, dumbfounded and so impressed by her when I watched Kaahani. SHe's a sheer brilliance on screen.

The only actress who can come close to her acting skills is PC!

Rani Mukherji - No One Killed Jessica (2011)

Priyanka Chopra - 7 Khoon Maaf (2011)

Parineeti Chopra - Ishaqzaade (2012)

Sridevi - English Vinglish (2012)

Alia Bhatt - Highway (2014)

Kangana Ranaut - Queen (2014)

Priyanka Chopra - Mary Kom (2014)

Rani Mukherji - Mardaani (2014)

Deepika Padukone - Tamasha (2015)

Priyanka Chopra - Bajirao Mastani (2016)

And my number one would be Sridevi.

In case of Sonam Kapoor, she was fantastic in Neerja, she blew my mind, exceeded my expectations, but realistically she still has a lot of convincing to do as an artiste to catchup to the other girls, which I'm sure she will do in another year or two.

I am surprised that Tabu does not feature in this list..She is definitely the most superior actress in BW among the present lot. Recently she excelled in both Haider and Drishyam.

No mention of Vidya on your list😲

Tough call between Vidya in Kahaani and Kangana in TWMR..they both did a phenomenal job..when was the last time someone pulled off a thriller so convincingly, also coming out with flying colours in a double role, while creating sympathy for both characters, is equally tough a job!
