Most newbies aren't perfect actors off the bat ofcourse.....so I'm not expecting that either.....but everyone starts off with some kind of spark....some natural thing somehow.....I mean dude....Socha na tha was Ayesha Takia's first movie and in that itself she was a million times better than Deepika has managed after doing THREE movies so far......LOL
I like Sonam....but I'm not blind about her either to say she's a great actress.....no, I don't think she can really act much at this point either....but she's got a spontaneous infectiousness to her personality that gives her a spark.......
Lol Anu you dont have to justify your choices, for the most part I agree with your reasoning. About the natural kind of spark, I dunno if its natural but Deepika has great screen-presence? Haha lol actually you're right not much of a spark is there! 😆 But I agree Ayesha Takia was brilliant in Socha Na Tha... Definately a class above from Deepika!
However that aside, I don't think there's much of a natural spark to Sonam Kapoor either! She looks really natural but acting-wise I've yet to see it. The thing Sonam Kapoor has got going on for her, in my opinion, is that she seems to have tons of potential to play a wide array of characters... coz you just can't pin her down, you know? She can play a bubbly character, a quiet character, a shy character, a gregarious character... So that way I see a lot of potential in her... This is good, coz even if her acting doesnt match up to the required level, she will never get boring as an actress! 😊But so far yeah, neither Deepika or Sonam have managed to completely impress me....
BTW the dialogue promos dont show her best scenes (which are in the climax) so I guess maybe thats why you weren't impressed.
