10 years in the industry and still can't deliver on the stardom part. Manikarnaka and ELKDTAL are decent movies, but both have failed at the box-office. Why do people consider them A-listers when they can't bring audiences to theatres? Compare them to Deepika, who is eons ahead and it's surprising that these 2 actresses, one a great actress and one a great looker, literally has such a small fan following.
PS- I liked both of their acting in these 2 recent movies, but was shocked at the half-empty theatres...I was hoping for a better response.

Comments???

manikarnika holds the record of single highest day for a female led movie- 18.5 cr..as much as I hate kangana..she did pretty well here..also top 3 women led films are TWMR..Raazi and Manikarnika..so she has 2 out of those 3 spots..she is doing quite well
sonam though..never had any pull..now i can understand why almost all sites credited veere's opening to kareena mostly..

and we cannot compare them to deepika who does not even have a single movie where she led it alone on her name..first let her attempt one to be compared..that way sonam also has prem ratan..

This is freaking tired man, roz ka roz Deepika ko drag karna! Why not for a change, compare them to queens like Kareena, she just delivered a 100 crore hit on her own star power, after delivering a baby and all.

Kangana has decent starpower.And the figures of Manikarnika are decent.
Sonam never had any starpower to begin with🤣

So ALL of Deepika's films can be credited to other co-stars? what abt Piku, Cockatil(with floppy Saifu) and even Finding Fanny had a decent opening on just 800 screens?

fact remains..those were not solo led movies..so let her come with one first..i am sure she will do well..but till then these are all talks in air..

also she re-established with cocktail..saif was doing decently well that time..you think she contributed to cocktail's opening coming from disasters like desi boys..break ke baad..khelein hum je jaan se..aarakshan..kartik calling kartik..she had 5 consecutive flops..how can she be credited for cocktail in terms of numbers or opening?

Finding Fanny opening is also shared with fresh from 2-States (100cr success) Arjun Kapoor... which was just 5 months old.


Let's revisit this with Chapaak. That so far is solely led by her... unless she ropes in hubby for cameo/guest role to beef up promotions.

Kangana's star pull is questionable after record-breaking business and opening?

BTW Why not question Rajkumar Rao or Anil's stardom?

If we should credit DP for the success of her last films, We should do the same for Sonam too na, Padman, VDW, Oh Neerja ..
EK Ladki is a coming of age drama where the protagonist is lesbian, You really think that movie will work in Box office hugely?

Let DP have a good opening on her own first

Then whom would you credit it to? Saif? After Kurbaan, Aarakashan and Agent Vinod?
