I am ok with her getting roles. 😆 She is not first actress who has god father in industry. Subash Ghai took Anil Kapoor in most his movies. Yash Chopra loved taking Kapoors and Rakhee who was his favorite. Manmohan Desai and Prakash Mehra would wait for AB Sr.'s diary to be empty. What is important is these actors had chops to deliver. The excuse becomes an issue if they don't have skills and are given roles. Again as a audience I have control over whether to watch the person. 😊

Tapsee is good and she is getting help. Nobody survives without networking in this industry. 😛 😆


Nobody denied that. 😛
But Alia's case is a lot more than just about nepotism. 😆


It's true that she is not the first to get a godfather. Her case is extreme though. After her horrid performance in SOTY, she would have never got any decent films without the support of KJo or her Dad. Had, for example, Parineeti or Disha been so awful in their first films, their careers would have ended before getting started. Also, unlike Disha and Kiara, Alia is very average looking, which wouldn't help either.
She was decent in her second film, but the way Bollywood insiders were hailing her performance and calling her Meryl Streep was laughable. She was not extraordinary. If anything, Randeep deserved a lot more praise, but nobody cared to appreciate him because they were too busy fawning over Alia.

Yes, her acting has really improved and she has worked hard, but without the careful planning by her mentors, and KJo setting conditions of financing certain projects only if Alia is picked, she would not have come this far yet.

Hmm Akki's presence helped.

How old is Tapsee? Looks as old as DP.Not sure abt the longevity of her career in BW.this is issue with outsiders in BW.They peak only in late twenties-early 30s..Vani and Parineeti might face the same problem.Disha is the only outsider actress of Alia's age.

I liked it. Taapsee was fabulous in her role and all the action scenes.
First half was a bit of a drag. Second half was much better but not free of typical Bollywood exageration.
Akshay, Anupam and Manoj were good as usual. Especially Anupam Kher as Shukla ji. LOL
I have to say one thing tthough, I felt like I was watching a movie version of some Sidney Sheldon novel.
One time watch movie.
