Bigger BO Pull? .. Varun or Alia!

I think actresses in general don't really have bigger stardom than their male counterparts. But that's probably because they never get a chance to do that.

This I concur with! ... BW doesn't play on the same field when it comes to male and female actors .. But now that many female actors are bringing in some concrete numbers, they are contributing quite equally to BO! ..

[Interesting bit to notice:: Alia is winning both polls .. Either it's the "perception" of being the "bigger star" that's working or it's the dislike for male actors which is getting highlighted in these polls! .. 😆]

Actresses are showing that they can carry a film on their shoulders, but again, if the film is bad, it doesn't work, so ultimately all woman oriented films are WOM movies. They can't save the film with their stardom, so none of them are bankable.

On the flip side, its a good thing as atleast there is no star worshipping and crap movies are being rejected.

@bold, or maybe Kjo has hijacked IF.

Even KJo PR on the forum .. 🤣

So stardom is only when actors can save "bad films"?! .. [It's all Salman and SRK's fault for this perception .. 😆] ... I actually feel all actors need good padding to make movies successful!

Well, SRK, Salman movies are not really bad films if audience is liking and watching them.

You are right that all actors need padding to make a film successful, and that also includes Salman. But what a bankable star does is that getting a good initial.

The movies of top actresses open below 10 Crores. Their women centric movies are completely dependent on WOM, which makes them more bankable.
