I found her irritatingly annoying and obnoxious. She wasn't endearing or even likeable to me. I will try to go back to watching the film.
She is supposed to be obnoxious, there is a clear indication that people don't like dealing with her.
But, then you see her dancing in her room, which shows that she still has her silly, child-like side intact.
I think Deepika did wonderfully, in portraying different layers of the character. Kudos to the last scene where she is sad that her dad is no more but is also relieved that he is in a better place and she is finally free. Her eyes displays this paradox of feelings wonderfully.
IMO this is the best role of Deepika and yes a lot of other great actors could have done it but her own interpretation of this character was amazing!
