Zinta is Billion times better than phattey baans ke dhol wali Rani.

Only in your dreams . The Preity Rani debate was sealed 2 decades back . Now crying over spilt milk won’t help . Comparing both of them is like comparing Kate Hudson and Kate winslet . While the former starred in some famous movies , the latter is one of the most wholesome, versatile and dramatic actress of Hollywood .

exactly !! And she’s very down to earth. Those like me who have met her in Los Angeles have seen how she greets people in person and is so easy to get her autographs. She’s not stuck up like some.

lol I tried to pitch in Preity for what she’s not before also . She is snobbish, very arrogant and self entitled.

Preity never did complex roles like Black but it was always good to see her in the roles she played especially in rom coms. She is such a good actress for romantic roles, and always brought the cuteness and innocence the characters needed.

Also, she had such good chemistry with Saif and SRK. Also I thought Hrithik and Preity are so underrated as a couple. Loved watching them together in KMG. And now here I am sad wondering if I will ever get to watch them together on screen again

PS for me personally: Preity >>>>>>Aish.

Don't want to engage with this "overrated" thing...it's more a personal-perception-thing.

However, as Black got mentioned and Rani's performance was criticised, here my take: Rani had been very good, the one that irked me had been Amitji's character (did SLB wanted to play him this way???).

When it comes to SLB, the only one of his movies I liked as a whole had been his debut movie...and I really like his sense for grandeur and aethetics which both are a mega-plus for theatre-movies.

I think he should have made a Heramandi as a movie for theatres - with a tight script, though, and a better actress than his niece.

As for Preity...in every role I've watched her, I had been satisfied with her acting according to the character given to her.

Preity Zinta is a competent actress and easily once of the cutest and most effervescent actress to grace the screen especially in her earlier years. And while perception of her acting skills might be subjective, it is almost funny to read that she didn't take diverse or complex roles. In fact she was the one who was known for taking unconventional roles as compared to her contemporaries in the starting 3-4 years of her career before she entered Johar / Chopra camp.

She played a CBI Officer tracking down a serial child murderer (Sangharsh), a young unwed mother facing social stigma (Kya Kehna), a prostitute who becomes surrogate mother for rent (Chori Chori Chupke Chupke), a TV presenter who falls in love with a terrorist (Mission Kashmir), a rebellious step daughter (Dil Hai Tumhara), a manipulative and obsessive wife (Armaan) and a war reporter (Lakshya). It was only after entering Johar / Chopra Camp that she became proper conventional mainstream actress. Even after that she played a single mother in live in relationship in Salam Namaste which was quite bold for its time. Also barring 2-3 movies she signed very early on in her career, you would never see her playing a flower pot or inconsequential roles.

Maybe perceptions have changed now, but if anyone was following bollywood she was in her prime, they would know she was known for being strong and unconventional on screen as well as off screen, be it testifying against underworld don when no one else in bollywood dared to or suing people who treated her unfairly when generally actresses don't want to be a part of such hassles.

And while I haven't followed her properly in years now, I know she has been criticised for some of her statements dealing with women. I don't know if it was faux pas, or misrepresentation or her views have really gone through a transformation; but it came as such a surprise to me because she was one actress who has been very strong, advocated for women to be independent and spoke strongly against issues like eve teasing and how victims of sexual abuse have to go through a insensitive and humiliating process in order to seek justice. And all this was in early 2000s.
