Thugs of Hindostan starring Amitabh
Bachchan, Aamir Khan, Fatima Sana Shaikh
and Katrina Kaif promises a grander
cinematic experience to the audience. The
movie directed by Vijay Krishna Acharya is
being produced by Aditya Chopra under the
Yash Raj Films banner. Thugs will see Katrina
return to the big screens in a glamorous
avatar as she plays the role of a performer
by the name Suraiyya in the action magnum
opus. Aamir Khan shared her first look for
the movie today but while we think she
looks hot as ever, but hasn't she looked as
hot earlier too?
At the time when all her contemporaries are
taking up challenging and versatile roles
which needs them to go some really tough
makeovers, Katrina seems to be playing easy
as far as her look is concerned. Apart from
the name, Suraiyya, there is nothing and we
repeat nothing new in the way Katrina has
been projected. Three days back the first
look of Amitabh Bachchan was revealed and
we were blown away. Then came Fatimah
Sana Sheikh and she left us in an awe. Post
that we thought that finally Katrina Kaif will
go the whole hog and do more than we
expect but boom, her first look reminded us
of just 6 previous looks that the Actor has
had. Donning a blouse and high slit skirt,
Katrina's makeup and gestures are all very
similar to her hit songs like Sheila Ki Jawani
[Tees Maar Khan], Malang [Dhoom 3], Chikni
Chameli [Agneepath], Do Dhari Talwar [Meri
Brother Ki Dulhan], Kala Chashma [Baar Baar
Dekho], Bodyguard title song. One thing
common in all of the above mentioned
songs are her looks, her style and her oh-so-
perfect abs. Even the seductive look she
gives to her poise, all are just the same.

Given this, we really were left disappointed
for Kaif, who, we believe, can pull off any
look. Her stylists for the movie really need to
take charge and gear up. With a film as big
as Thugs Of Hindostan where ones look can
he experimented with, Katrina has left us
yawning and how. Tomorrow is the poster
reveal of Aamir Khan and we are dead sure
he will surpass all his earlier avatars. Katrina
it is high time you take cue from your
seniors!
Thugs of Hindostan releases on November 8,
2018.

Well katrina does what she can do. It still earns her 7 8 cr per film. For 2 scenes and some seductive dances.

She cannot act. We know that. She knows that.
But salman khan and her onscreen presence has seen her balance out her non expressive face and zero acting skills and non improving hindi through her 15 or so years long career. Oh and some action scenes in tzh...laudable.

I bet her song in TOH is still gonna be a rage.
I think its useless to expect something hatke from Katrina at this point in her career (well Zero could be an exception so lets wait and see). She should just be allowed to do what she does best in peace i.e. sexy moves, dancing, latke jhatke and some action scenes here and there.

I don't get why Kat is spared from the expectations to do better when all the other actresses are dragged for being "wooden" or "overacting". If being left alone to do what one wants applies to Kat then it should apply to the rest too.
The whole purpose of an artist is to constantly evolve and improve oneself so just because she's given up on that doesn't mean the critique has to stop.
If we're going to be putting up with and overlooking sub-par stuff from Kat then put up with sub-par stuff from everybody else too and don't complain about their acting.


*Btw OP I'm not talking about you just in general because I've seen this excuse a lot

But what has really come out of wishing to see Kat in meaningful roles? Only disasters like Bar Bar Dekho, Fitoor and Phantom.

I dont think people are asking for the criticism to stop; there's no way of avoiding it if one is a BW star. Its just that pepple have realized that its no good expecting acting from Katrina. Instead, its just better and easier to enjoy stuff she is actually good at: dancing and being sexy.

Every star cannot serve the same purpose. There are plenty of good actors out there whom we can watch for their great acting skills. Katrina exists to serve glamor- something that is much needed in an industry like BW.

katrina is charming on screen. she is not the best actress..but she has an x factor and that is why she is a star.
ive enjoyed namastey London, new York, mere brother ki dulhan..so much from her and she was perfect for those roles. even baar baar dekho she was alrigght

she does serve the glamour portion in such films

don't get the criticism honestly

I get what you mean but I tend to hold everyone to the same expectations/standards and won't pick and choose. If you're classed as an "Actor" then acting is what I expect from you. If dancing and glamour are her only forte then it would be better for her to just do item songs or something (I hate them but BW seems to love them so oh well). Instead of taking and hogging roles that a better actress can do justice to.

I guess I'm kinda annoyed that glamour/item songs are what BW keeps shoving in our face like all the movies lately are so non-appealing to me. They put more thought into item songs than the quality of the script and acting.
Like not every movie needs to be glamorous especially not one that is set in the past where they're under British rule or whatever.

The issue isnt her talent abilities - its the fact that sheLOOKS THE SAME>
Same hair and same outfit. Shouldve done something different at least.

I agree but is anyone even hoping for decent acting from her anymore? I think the article is largely complaining about the "same-ness" of Kat; her look, pose, everything is the same. At the very least her stylist should develop an interesting avatar for each character she's essaying. For instance, if we weren't told this was for TOH, one could be forgiven for thinking it's TZH or BBD or any number of movies she's done. I guess she gave it a go with the red hair for Fitoor but even that was lacklustre.
