She still needs to be paired with a mainstream actor with their own fan base to be anywhere near a box office hit.

I have not seen her give one hit as the title lead with supporting cast who are not highly popular or mainstream.

She attempted with Arjun Kapoor and Neil Nitin Mukesh and both films flopped.

Ever since she has only worked with the more recognizable actors.

Very unlike Kangana in QUEEN or Tanu Weds Manu.

She has zero to no box office pull

The film XXX Return of Xander Cage was given a lot of publicity. Deepika did many talk shows, press, international events. Film I heard did very poorly in India. People did not even care for Vin Diesel in it.

Vin Diesel in the latest Fast and Furious without Deepika is doing very well in India I have come to know.

Why?

Why?

because F8 has an established fan base going back to over a decade.

Xander Cage should've never been remade.

Wasn't Piku a hit? I dunno if that counts.

Whatever, I dislike Deepika a lot so in my books she isn't a leading actress anyways. A star sure but an actress no because she can't act.

Arjun Kapoor is a nobody and Ranveer is a megastar? 🤣

Arjun had Ishaqzaade and 2 States two major hit movies before that flop film with Deepika happened to him.

Deepika's one and only contribution is making her chaddi BF's career. She gave Ranveer his career's first ever hit.

Before Ramleela, Ranveer 0 hits. BBB, Lootera and Ladies VS Ricky, none qualified as a hit. Deepika was well established, was part of hits even before Ramleela happened to her.

but do amitab and irfan have a fan base like the khans that anything they do..no matter how bad make profits?

then what about shamitab? that was a disaster..what about teen? what about masaan? jazba?

i am sorry for crediting amitab for the business piku did does not make much sense to me..i would definitely say that a major chunk of opening came from a well received trailer and deepika's presence..rest got escalated with a brilliant wom..but i find it funny when people put deepika down by saying amitab was in piku as if he is on some khans level in terms of BO..which is hardly the case

Then what about YDHJ, Cocktail, Ram Leela, BM and Piku? all these movies didn't have either any Khans, Roshan, Devgan or Kumar and these days the boxoffice needs these actors to make sure that the movie can make 100 crore but none of these movies had any of those actors, don't know how you are trying to make Sonam a leading actress just by the success of Neerja, any other actress would've be able to make that movie hit because it was a biopic which people only went to watch the movie only for Neerja, she had given dozen of flops before Neerja.

Thats Bullshit!! Deepika has been phenomenal in her films, She was the soul of CE her act as Meenamma was the highlight ,

she was fantastic as Piku and she was the fan with the star base there. Amitji and Irfan are great actors but their fanbase is not like the khans. It wasnt even promoted much and did not have the routine song and dance sequences. Still it did well at the BO

Also during the time of RamLeela ranveer was just 4 films old and his last film Lootera even though critically praised dint do well at the BO which had Sonakshi who was touted as the BO queen .

Finding fanny was a quirky English language film, it still got a good opening despite it being a different film, the response was good.
