And it's struck, not striked (can't ignore bad grammar).

Thank you for correcting that...wish my keypad was just as helpful as you were in doing so.

Anyways....sorry for the grammatical error.

Shraddha does not play flowerpot roles all the time! Don't forget about Stree, she got the most prominent role in it and got many many praises by the audience and critics. Among her past works she got immense popularity after doing Aashiqui 2, she didn't have any flowerpot role there either.

Why are you saying sorry to her ? It's a mistake which everyone does.

Perfect English isn't everything. You logic was completely clear.😊

So actresses like Katrina and Shraddha have made a career playing flowerpot roles and getting lots of love and popularity for the same. After all, they also feature in top 5 of Omaxe list and other lists too which measure popularity. They have edged out Kangana, Vidya who often act in female-centric movies.

But my question is: is this stardom tenable in the long run? After all, playing itsy-bitsy roles in commercial movies with big heroes is easy. Isn't the real test of stardom when you carry a film on your shoulders? Or are flowerpot/decorative roles equally challenging?

Discuss.

Chappak flopped so Dp failed the test then.

Chapaak has DP playing an acid attack victim and cinema is a visual medium. So, there are other external factors at play.

She has already proved herself successful with Piku earlier.

Exactly. This shows maybe her time has passed

Tapsee is bigger star than DP by your logic 🤡.

I know DP is. My point is OP’s post is really flawed since she brings a Piku to prove DP’s selling power on her own which had AB Sr too( just like Pink and Badla had AB Sr).

No she hasn't failed the test. The movie was a grim subject, portraying her as disfigured, and clashed with a biggie. Please take all factors into account. It still opened at a respectable 4 crores, more than Priyanka Chopra, Kangana Ranaut, Rani Mukherjee and Sonam Kapoor's latest films.

@bold I don't understand this excuse given by all DP fans here, Rani portrayed a blind bland looking girl in black, why did it work? Because the movie was well made, isn't it?
