I feel DP has this misconception (don't know whether SLB has played any part in it) that royal & elegant / graceful means emotionless. Usually she is a fair to good actress...but in Padmavaat & Bajirao Mastaani she was totally stone faced. Even Ram Leela was SLB movie & however pukeworthy the movie was, Deepika was emotive there. But as Padmavati & Mastaani...it was as if... she is determined not to show any emotion....as if nothing bothers her.....but then she has teary eyes in almost every scene 🤦🏻 So it's not like she is trying to portray strong characters.... I never understood why did she choose to act so weirdly in those 2 movies where as in other movies she is mostly average to good.
As for dance.... I found only Mohe Rang Do Laal lackluster. She is not comfortable in classical dance and it's visible there. But I think she pulled off Deewani Mastani & Ghoomar pretty well.
