Was Deepika Really That Great? - Page 9

Even if thats true. Manikarnika had a good run - it still earned good money and Kangana was appreciated for her stronger performance. I wouldnt call the film a flop, its still a 100 crore film.Unlike Kalank that released and drowned! Manikarnika had a few open weeks and managed to do well. We have to accept this.

Errr.... it is a Flop despite having a FREE run of Three weeks with no Big releases. There is a difference between good run and free run. Taapsee's Badla made more money than Manikarnika despite not having a 130 Crs budget, Holiday release, 3000 screens, Big Historic Biopic, BJP support, Nationalistic sentiments and Non stop controversial statements. And no other than KRK, most of the critics rated it average to bad. But then, KRK praised Kalank too. And he called both the films as Flops.

Priyanka isnt that great either though, tends to overdo it a lot. She couldnt do Raazi either

Not true, u seem to be underestimating Priyanka. She can do alot, still her talent is hidden. We only saw a bit. Just like Madz.

I know you really dislike Kangana, but you cannot discredit her acting performance in Manikarnika. She WAS appreciated and loved in the film. And its not just KRK...SO MANY Critics praised her strong performance. So I am not sure if you are just unaware or you're turning a blind eye to the truth. i dont really think this is debatable?

I wont discuss Manikarnika's business because you are convinced its a flop and not a 100 cr film - even though there are many legit sources that have confirmed its a 100 crore film!

Considering how both Kangana and Alia tried to Ape Deepika and flopped big time in Period films, it is clear why Deepika is where she is.

She has a natural beauty, grace and dignity required to play such characters. And no amount of VFX or Makeup can bring that.

People call Kangana an amazing actress, but acc to me she's very limited. And in manikarnika, she proved that to be true. I couldn't sit a few mins into the movie. Comparing her to Deepika even in acting, is a bit unfair now. Both are limited but Deepika can deliver her own dialogues at least lol

Kangana is way better than Deepika and anyone can see that. Deepika cannot pull off some of the roles Kangana has. Not sure why you didnt like Manikarnika everyone loved Kangana in the movie

Same way Kangana can't pull off some roles Deepika has done. That's why I said they're both limited.

What special thing has Deepika done that Kangana cant? Kangana could do the alocholic role better in Cocktail...and she did well in manikarnika so she can do good in period films too

I feel like Kangana is a better dancer too so it may work

Alia can never be a star she can never match Deepika
Deepika is a star

Deepika has grace and elegance to lift hide her poor dialogue delivery. Atleast she has personality to save her. She really needs to improve her voice tone and expressions.

Veronica wasn't just an alcoholic, she was hot too. And no, Kangana wouldn't have done it better. She would've made that role the same as hers in Fashion. And sorry but like I said, Kangana's acting in Manikarnika was not impressive. It was cringey at times and sort of copying Deepika's style at others.

And wow if you think Kangana is a better dancer, then I feel like this conversation should end here LOL
