Everyone is unique. Each one is beautiful, but in different ways. Vyjayanti Mala and Waheeda are traditional beauties classic Indian features (so does Sonam Kapoor). Deepika and Hema don't have the conventional features (Hema has a broad forehead, Deepika's nose is too sharp), still they look really beautiful.
Deepika's dance cannot be compared with those actresses, who are trained in classical dance for years and give dance performance even at the age of eighty. Having said, I don't disagree, her dance has the power to pull audience (whether she is a great performer or not).
Interestingly two of these ladies (Vaijayanti Mala and Hema Malini) got the rare opportunity to lead titular role in historical movies ( Amrapali and Razia Sultan), which were big budget movies of their time (not comparing to today's standards). Though they were at their peak, they could not pull it through. Even Rekha's Umrao Jaan was critically praised. But commercially, it was not hit. In fact, Vaijayantimala was so devastated after Amrapali's failure that she decided to retire.
But unlike their movies, Deepika's Padmavat became successful. (Yeah, Karni Sena yada yada).
