I am the only top actress probably who has done B-grade films - Page 5

If you like to believe so, good for you.

But the thing is that they're not.

Sonam and Sonakshi are NOT major celebs of BW. They seldom see the face of success. And succes is directly proportional to the money earned by endorsements.

If all starkids are considered A listers, then BW will never have any dearth of it. 😆

I feel that the term A lister and B lister are quite different in Bollywood. Especially since this is an industry where nepotism plays a big part in one's success. Sonam and Sonakshi may be flops, but yet they are considered top stars, are they not? What about Deepika during her flops, she was still treated as a top celebrity. These ladies were and are given prominent covers and got access to big events that other flops can not imagine.

there must be a distinction between unsuccessful actors and B-grade actors.

To me, Sonam and Sonakshi are simply celeb-kids who get handed decent respectable projects which don't always do well.

Never have either of them had to do sleazy underbelly movies.

Yes there is a distinction. Isn't that what I am saying? B-list doesn't mean B-Grade.

The less successful /new ones are called B listers. PC is considered a B+ lister in HW. You certainly don't regard Quantico as a sleazy, soft po*n. Viola Davis is an A lister for obvious reasons. Just google B-grade movies, you'll see what kinda movies show up on your monitor. 😆 Gangster is much more expensive and sophisticated than that. It's ridiculous that someone would think of it as a B grade product. 😆

I differ on Gangster, it became a hit and people loved the movie so now the movie isnt considered B grade coz Emraan, Kangana became more popular and rose to stardom later on...

Not being an A lister and doing a B grade movie are two completely different things.

Even Sonakshi is not an A list. So all her movies are B grade? No. B grade movies are made with low budget and mature content by tiny production houses. They're released for a certain section of the audience who look for sexual content.

Anand L Rai was a small director until he got huge hits in his kitty. No he was NOT a director of B grade movies. Gangster was made with almost 40 crores by Anusrag Basu. That's a huge number for 2006. From which angle does it look B grade?

By that logic, even Mirzya is B grade because it had kissing scenes and new actors. 😆

So Sonam's Neerja & Sonakshi's Akira opens 4.5cr+

I agree. I don't get A lister B lister thingy. But I know what A grade, B grade, C grade movies are.

B grade movies are what Kanti Shah made. Those horror flicks. story revolving around adult content.

Whatever crap movies Kangu may have done, She has always been A Grade movie star.

Audience & everyone these days associate A grade with everything what khan uncles do. Even Kangu is implying the same. Anand L Rai is in no way B grade. Small director, Yes. But not B grade.

B Grade is deshdrohi. Virana. types of movies. Search B grade Hindi movies and you would know.😆

Finally someone understands what I am trying to say. 😆

Kangy has always been around the corner and got enough exposure for working with big names like HR, Ajay, Sanjay Dutt. Exposure, she had plenty. She was probably not succesful but she was not B-grade.
