She is a strictly mediocre actress. Only two good performances- Udta Punjab and Raazi. Her performances in all other films have been average to above average. Overrated as hell.


Yes, she is thrust down people's throats. Yes, she has a godfather.yes, she is a product of nepotism.


Despite all this, she has not delivered extraordinary performances or been able to captivate every time. She has been strictly mediocre. She is no Kangana or Vidya Balan, who chews up everyone else on screen. She is not a terrific actress on the top of her game.


Why is her mediocrity celebrated as excellence?

Because no one else is allowed to succeed except KJo's band of mean girls.

Well my thought process is different as I never thought those 2 were anything special


Vidya Balan really needs to loose some weight


The manner in which Kangana speaks I hardly understand what she is saying

No, I can confidently say this. What does she bring that Priyanka has not in Fashion, Barfi, mary kom.., what taapsee has in pink, deepika in piku.., Sonakshi in Lootera, Parineeti in Ishaqzaade, Vidya in Dirty picture, kanagana in queen. I can go on and on.

She has BO success, tremendous support, good content films which have clicked with the audience (other words-Opportunity)--this contributes to people think she is the greatest actress, which is false.

She is the most talented all rounder. She can give you award winning performances like Udta Punjab and Raazi. Then she can easily give you a mass performance like Badri Ki Dulhania

You call Alia a mediocre actress yet you said in your previous posts that Ananya which is another Alia in the making an Alia 2.0 a better actress....major contradiction? Sometimes I feel reading your posts that you are against nepotism yet you do pools on future star kids as if the industry needs more of them.....you mentioned in a previous post about Ileana D'Cruz not getting a fair chance and now how is Kangana and Vidya are better performers...so curious to know who is in your opinion the best actress we have today and do you seriously see Ananya as a good actress? Like seriously

Definitely not!

She is clearly not the best in terms of talent in an industry with people like Deepika, Kangana, Priyanka, Ranveer, Ranbir, etc. She just gets all the “acting” roles in serious films handed to her while contemporaries like Shraddha, Sonakshi, Kriti are left with mostly flowerpot roles or surefire flops.

And I think most of us can she’s not the best in terms of looks either- Shraddha, Sonakshi, Yami, countless others in her generation (which imo is generally mediocre in looks compared to previous generations) are ahead of her.

Its not just being average looking either but having nothing striking or unique about her like say Kajol, who I would say isn’t classically beautiful but she definitely stands out and looks striking/interesting in her own way, while Alia is just PLAIN.

And lastly, Alia just does not have the huge popularity and fan following the media tries to make her seem like she has!! I remember when she first debuted around the same time as Shraddha, Parineeti, Sonakshi they were all being appreciated by different sections while no one really cared about Alia. Among the actual public the situation is still pretty much the same- Parineeti may have disappeared and Sona may not be a huge star but Shraddha is still way more popular than Alia, and a lot of other actors who may not be super talented still have a lot of fan following (Kartik Aryan being one recent example). But Alia just isn’t one of those people!

But anyway, basically she is most certainly NOT the best. Rant over lol 😐.

Definitely better than the likes of Parineeti, Kriti Sanon, Shraddha, Tara, Patrelekha and so on other becharis whose careers were destroyed by cunning evil Alia, who stole their movies and panties.
