Tara of Tamasha didn't have any great backstory, her character come to think about it was poorly etched. A woman goes for a trip falls in love with a kind of a con man so much so that she is willing to leave everything and come find him only to reject him and then again go back to him for him to reject her. The character very frankly didn't make sense but DP played her so well that she made it one of the more memorable characters in Imtiazs oeuvre and made us root more for Tara than the hero.
Then we have Sejal who also didn't have any great backstory seemed desperate to be considered sexy and falls in love with a tour guide. Anushka portrayed her as this annoying woman whom we couldn't relate to at all. She bought out nothing in the character and only ended up making a poorly etchedchatacter more annoying.
I feel this forum shies from giving DP her due as an actress. She is one of the finer actresses we have today and this itself should show the doubters how her acting is far superior to her so called competitors

Even a good actor can give mediocre performance given a badly written character. .blame writer director as well to not have a vision.

I agree - voiced my thoughts on it many times on this forum itself. This pretty much summarises my thoughts on Deepika's portrayal of Tara even today:

Deepika was just something else in this film for me. It was a completely internalized performance and her subtle approach is what I personally thought she excelled in - it brings so much more than being OTT/ being over-expressive does. The way she portrays her emotions is just so real in this movie - the exact scenes you've mentioned (Corsica/Calcutta/getting giddy and overexcited on meeting Ranbir in the cafe) show how much she's grown as an actor from the Break ke Baad/Love Aaj Kal days. I can see what Ranbir meant when he says she 'glows' on screen, its her lack of inhibitions now that makes her a better actress today.👍🏼Those 2 scenes were really amazing, I think hats off to the way Imtiaz shot them as well - it makes you feel like you're there with them while Ved struggles and tries to grasp who he is. The other scene I love is the one when Ranbir tells 'his' story to his parents and grandmother, it really summed up the film for me.. having had similar experiences to Ved in his corporate life/not wanting to do study what he did etc, the way Ranbir did the scene was so relatable and it felt cathartic to watch on screen. 😊

I dislike both these stupid movies equally but yeah I do have new found respect for Deepika's acting cuz she's better than Anushka. So yeah I actually agree with your post. Now I'm terrified to watch SRK's next cuz it has both Katrina and Anushka 😵
