Award season is right around the corner (actually no it's not but I can't wait) so it's time to discuss everyone's favourite topic - who will win Best Actress for this year??


It's been a strange year. There hasn't really been one big standout performance that towers above all others - is that a good thing?? Well it would be if there were several stellar performances but I'm not sure there have been.

I feel like there's been quite a lot of very good perfomances - so it's set to get very interesting as the year closes.

So here are the contenders:

TOP 7 Strongest contenders (imo)
Kangana Ranaut - Rangoon
Swara Bhaskar - Anaarkali Of Aarah
Vidya Balan - Begum Jaan
Manisha Koirala - Dear Maya
Sridevi - Mom
Anushka Sharma - Jab Harry Met Sejal
Kangana Ranaut - Simran

Other contenders
Yami Gautam - Kaabil
Saba Qamar - Hindi Medium

Decent performances that may get nominated:
Raveena Tandon - Maatr
Sonakshi Sinha - Noor
Parineeti Chopra - Meri Pyaari Bindu
Anushka Sharma - Phillauri

Popular choices 😕
Alia Bhatt - Badrinath Ki Dulhania

I haven't seen Lipstick Under My Burka or Bhumi's movies - how good were they??

Also, of course we have the upcoming Tumhari Sulu and Padmavati which seem like the only 2 performances that will make any impact in the rest of the year. That's if Padma doesn't get postponed.
I don't expect anything from Shraddha Kapoor's Haseena Parkar unfortunately.

I also like Swara Bhaskar in AOA. I just hope all of these three ladies win a prestigious award. They surely deserve it.

Kangana deserves it for the double combo of Rangoon and Simran. Will be interesting to see how many nominations she gets.

Kangana for sure. In Simran. She was good in rangoon too but oh my she was brilliant in Simran, I have not seen such a flawless performance in years. She can do it all.

Just watched Simran yesterday. What a delightful little dark comedy. This year has been great for small movies. I absolutely loved Bareilly ki Barfi and Simran both.

I agree and with Toilet's success this hypes it for her big win for SMS


Easy win for Bhumi. Unless Deepika is extra ordinary but I doubt it. I want Bhumi to win.

  1. Kangana - SIMRAN
  2. Sridevi - MOM / Swara - AOA
  3. Kangana - Rangoon

So far, I consider it is among these 3 ladies for the performance honors. Their roles were complex (Praf being the most) and these ladies chewed the challenge and gave a critically acclaimed performance. 👏

Let's see how DP and Vidya's performance match with these.

Speaking purely from a NA jury perspective... in Hindi submissions, they will end up in the final around.

Commercial awards, although would probably go to Bhumi, DP, Kriti... as Kangy doesn't attend, Sri is too old and Swara not TRP friendly. 😕
