They will say she did really good in Namastey London, she was awesome in Raajneeti, she acts very good in Kabir Khan films.
BUT

Wasn't the role in Namastey London literally created for Katrina? There weren't other non Indian actresses around then so the role was like tailor made for her. No other actress could have done better simply because Katrina was perfect for the character. But that doesn't makes her a good actress.

In Raajneeti and JTHJ she was sooo bland. So dullfaced.

Kabir Khan films I still don't think she is exceptional...she is okay but again Kabir basically made those characters for Katrina. He kept thinking of Katrina while creating and writing the characters she portrayed in New York and ETT.

Anyway something that never willl change is that Katrina's eyes always remain cold even when she smiles. She can't help that. Problem is because her eyes don't "speak" she can never become a good actress.

A really nice example of an actress with truly expressive eyes is Divyanka Tripathi...her eyes can just express any feeling...scared, wondering, happy, sad...

To me she's like the Indian version of Doris Day. Not a great actress but good fun in lighthearted films. Films like JTHJ, Raajneeti, etc. are out of her capacity.

I think she has improved. I would say her best acting was in ZNMD and MBKD, these two movies were the only ones where I felt she really nailed it and expressed well. She can emote well in her dance numbers but in most movies she seems like she's half asleep

I found her dull and uninterested in JTHJ, ETT, Rajneeti and many other movies.

I find her better in songs, she seems to emote better in them

This forum has showered extraordinary love on Katrina...How can she not be a good actress?😉😆
i don't think even the Kat fans have hailed her as a great actress...Kat is just OKay in the acting department...and whatever she lacks...she makes us by her amazing screen presence, her star power, her dancing and her hard work...

She also has this stigma that she can't speak Hindi...or has not learned Hindi...then how come she speaks her own dialogues in the movies and sometimes those are long dialogues...i agree that her diction is not perfect...or she has an accent...but sop does half of Bollywood...not everyone has perfect diction and accent like AB Sr or Shahrukh...ever noticed the accents when Hema, Sharmils, Dharmendra , deepika , Konkona...and so many others speak...Their accent is OK...because it is a part of some Indian language and Katrina's isn't?? why??
