firstly dear zindagi was NOT a dud. It was a semi hit. You don't call semi hit movies duds. You might not have liked the movie but it did decently well at the BO
secondly we cannot expect UP or Highway to do 100cr business. They were dark movies which any which way won't do business similar to a 2 states..HSKD..or Badri
the fact that what ever numbers those movies made..is itself an indication that they weren't totally rejected
Also the fact that a 2 states does a 105cr business is an indication of audience acceptance..she was the lead with an equally new actor then..not like it had a khan that we attribute all collections to him..neither is it dharma or else GTPM..ok janu won't be disasters..
Apart from this..i do agree with you
clearly alia has been given chances. Never did I deny that. Clearly her getting a Highway after a performance like SOTY was because of nepotism and chances. Can never and have never denied that..BUT..all i say is that yes she got ample chances but to her credit she made the most of that..critically commercially..
and yes had yami or illeana or kriti been given those chances..they be at par with alia today..
