Why could Sonam not capitalise on Neerja?

Hey!

IMO, I always knew it wasn't her bop to the top, 'cause Neerja was lauded as a whole. Everything came together to make a good film- direction, scripting, actors' performances etc.

It was not gonna be attributed to Sonam alone. It was Neerja the FILM that mostly won hearts. Not taking away from Sonam's performance, but I think the director used her very intelligently. Allowed her to play to her strengths and did not overexpose her.

In fact, if anyone's career was impacted by Neerja, I would say that person was Jim Sarbh. He got a lot of exposure and was universally appreciated for his performance. He will most probably get more films due to Neerja.

A lot of people predicted it would be a game changer for her, but has it done that?

If you think yes, explain why. If no, then explain it too.

To capitalize on one's success one should move in quickly. Kangana and Deepika did that after Queen, Cocktail. Sonam instead of doing that is busy with Cannes, fashion line, Sonam app, her sister's non starter film and fighting online.

Yes, true. To capitalise, you need to consolidate, which Sonam did not do.

Fighting online- 😆 lol what did she do?

Aamir Khan took a 4 year break in 2001 after the release of Lagaan (June) and Dil Chahta Hai (August)...
Why didn't he "capitalise" on the hugely successful films?
Why didn't he "move quickly".
It was a "game changer" so please explain.

I think the answer is Sonam is not serious about acting like a PC or a Kangy or even a DP. It is part of something she does. If you follow DP's career trajectory you can actually see when she became very serious as an actress and from then on her entire approach to her career changed. I am yet to see something like that from Sonam. Acting is only one of the thing she does, not the only thing and certainly not the sole focus of dedication. I think she is moving on to lifestyle like a Reese or a Gwyneth. She will still act, possibly produce but I will not be shocked if she has a website and/or a line like Reese's Draper James which will be her livelihood.

Unlike KR who shone bright after Queen, or DP after Cocktail , for Neerja, the villain walked off with more appreciation than Sonam.

You be so kind, Boss. What would Sonam do without you? You have made her go down in posterity. 😉

I was thinking about this the other day, wondering whether she was still doing Battle for Bittora. I looked up the news and cannot find any information on what film she is currently shooting for, if any.
I suppose she doesn't take that much interest in acting? Her attitude suggests this is the case.
