Correction**
Rahul bhatt 1st called her Meryl Streep, then it was Arjun Kapoor who again called her Meryl during Gully boy trailer release
while Javed Akhtar tweeted this-Javed Akhtar was all praise, as he compared Alia's performance to some of the industry stalwarts. "Milestones -Nargis in 'Mother India', Meena Kumari in 'Saheb Bibi', Nutan in 'Bandani', Shabana in 'Arth' and now Alia Bhatt in 'Highway,'" he tweeted. 😆


whereas Varun called her Robert Di Niro of our generation in more of a Tongue in cheek manner during promotions😆
Varun ne toh dilwale ko inception bhi bola 😆


Even that was a tongue in cheek remark which people took seriously😆 I mean pagal hai but itna nahi hai😆

Have people even seen the video where he made the inception remark, ya fir bin baat trolling ka bahana chahiye😆.
He never even said dilwale is like inception. I don't really care when people troll him for that, even he laughs. But at least see the video before commenting with such emojis
🤢

Alia will have to play Batman and be fabulous as the caped crusader to convince everyone.

Mandatory melt down with high pitch squeeky shouting,ott nostril-flaring breakdowns while playing duniya/family ki satayi dukhiyari, bechari character pretty much summarizes "Desi Meryl Streep'" acting range😆

Heck even in that 10 minutes role in K&S it was made sure that a random breakdown scene gets incorporated since that's what Alia is comfortable in. I find her pretty much unbearable with her fixed set of frowning & flaring expressions, exception being Badrinath ki Dulhania where she was blank & acted like a frozen turky in half of the film😆


THIS

Alia is a good actor but extremely overrated, plus being Kjo's favorite helps right? 😉 I liked her in Raazi and 2 states, but this forum was eye opening in that she really is the same character in different environments.

Her versatility is limited to what script KJo gives her next. Kjo is giving her the period drama she wanted with Kalank and Takht, and I just can't picture her doing it. Same with Brahmastra, but Ayan is a good director.

To your point, and most people on this forum, she has a repeated cycle of emotions in all her movies, and then it is praised to death when it's underwhelming, especially compared to other actresses. Looks like Gully Boy will be similar.

I like varun so was definitely not trolling him. I will always have a soft corner for him since he shares my birthday 😛 (yeah, yeah shallow I know) but that inception comment is seriously lol worthy 😆

It sounds like a lot of people are hurt because Alia has single handedly overlapped all current actresses, I guess no one can handle that she threw everyone else under the bus lol
Alia literally destroyed Parineeti, Shraddha, Kriti, Vaani, Disha, Paani, Daani's career.

They are no match for her!

Karan is going to make sure that Janhvi and Sara always stay a step behind too!

Im speaking moreso in racing terms.

Overlapping is when you pass someone over and over again leaving them in the dust 😆
