I don't think a hit tag depends solely on the actors. Factors such as script, direction, screenplay and music are also as important. But I think HR, the Khans and Shahid could make such films a hit.


usually actors in period films have a certain look to carry it off well. Since most period films are based on royalty they need to look regal.

I don't know the right words but their voice, carrying the clothes.

They probably need to be more in tune with theatre actors where they are believable in coming from that period.

The ladies need to have some classical dancing.

If there is battle scenes the guy needs to be fit.

Not suited for all actors unless they train months prior.

HR suits period roles. So does Amir.

Apart from that.. I think Shahid and RS can pull it off. RS needs better character than Ram bhai though. As Ram, he went in OTT mode at places.


For Actresses, No one can beat MD. But I can give PC chance. Also, DP can try.

Of course Sonakshi. Damm how can I miss her. She comes first from current generation.

She can totally rock the role like she did with Pakhi Roy.

Aamir but then again he can do anything. I so want him to do another period movie. Ashutosh and him sould team up again. Or how about a Rajmouli epic?? The director has said he wants to work with him.


HR can also pull period off. His tendency to go OTT is what worries me though. Hopefully he is at his best in MD. I am eagerly awaiting that one.

PC we will know from BM but I have a feeling she will nail it. Shahid should try as well; it will be new and chalenging for him. Not sure how it will turn out but Haider gives me hope.

From the new-comers I think Aditya can pull it off. He has the look and is a good actor as well. Sonakshi can doo it too. IOM anyone?? Apart from that no-one really.

Nice topic b/w. Some discussion about movies is becoming a rare sight these days. Its BO and BO only.

Ram and Leela was not a period film but it does have this outdated look to it that resembles a period film.

So far only HR and Aamir has managed to make their period films hit. Though lagaan had masala like massy elements like cricket and patriotism type feelins u know rising against English etc. where as jodha akbar was a pure historical drama. Had it been ANYONE
but hr and ash this film would have bombed. HR made a truly amazing akbar, it was like he was made for this role, any of the khans would have looked funny in the costumes which looked amazimg on HR. Mohenjodaro will be another test for HR, risky period movie.

Yes, I am convinced. Madonna is not an actress and more a singer. But, she excelled in two period films - Dick Tracy and Evita. She was...
