Alia Bhatt is like Jennifer Lawrence: a star who's also terrific actor
Bollywood's big daddy, Karan Johar is often pilloried for the good-looking fluff that he produces at factory speed. But in Alia Bhatt he may well have given birth, if only accidentally, to the most phenomenal acting brand of our time. That this petite and chirpy Bhatt has the added aura of a glam doll is a massive help in an industry where the rules are at once cruel and simple: Greek gods queue up for the feel-good mainstream market while the Plain Janes can go knock on the doors of art or alternative cinema. This is where Alia comes in, blurring the line between the two, reminding one of the trajectory that Hollywood's Jennifer Lawrence has carved with her independent spirit and bold choice of roles that define contemporary American cinema.
Alia's last powerful performances were in Udta Punjab and Highway but the trouble is, you are at a loss when it comes to categorising the two films. They fall neither under the fully commercial category, given their respective directors Abhishek Chaubey and Imtiaz Ali's leanings toward offbeat storytelling, nor are the two films out-and-out art-house.
