Deepika is the reason Ram Leela, Chennai Express worked?

Found this post worth quoting from Regressive Thug:

"SLB's last hit before Ramleela was Devdas while Ranveer never had a clean hit till that point.

While Deepika was coming off five success movies including two BBs, so I think she deserves biggest credit for Ram Leela.

Baaki she had her role in both CE(her and SRK jodi factor) and YJHD(her and Ranbir thing).

It cannot be mere co-incident that all of the SRK, Ranbir(until Sanju) and Ranveer have their biggest hits in the last decade with her.

SRK's top three hit in last decade have been with her.

And before you bring it, Finding Fanny wouldn't have been a hit even with Sallu as playing Fanny."

So do you guys think she is the main reason these movies worked?

Another post worth quoting:

"Deepika has got multi generational and multi regional reach. It's not just hit movies or acting prowess. She has that IT factor a la Hema Malini. And, she is the only one in her generation that is well known in rural areas of pan-India. Kat is hit with men, Anushka never had that kind of reach outside city multiplexes. DP is known and gushed over by grannies, aunties and youngsters alike. Especially females. So stardom wise, she is ahead of her contemporaries and immediate next batch of mass produced lookalikes. "

Before you people allege me of making tall claims, I am merely stating a hypothesis. Let's discuss and debate in an amicable manner.

Why do you keep embarrassing yourself by posting articles defending Deepika? Are you handling her PR or part of the company that does?

Inke CHHAPAK ka zakham abhi bhi bhara nahi

As we accepted ZERO and waiting for his next why dont you accept it

Chennai Express got it coz of SRK and Salman-Shahrukh rivalry scoops

Happy New Year only and only coz of SRK

Bajirao is about Ranveer acting not DP skin whitening

Padmavat got coz of Karni Sena

Love AajKal coz of Imtiaz

Poor Deepika only got Depression

RL yes ..Ranveer was nobody at that point which is why Kareena even walked out of the film .It was projected to be a disaster before the release but became a surprise hit .

CE not sure .SRK was still a big draw then .

Ha srk toh chewtiya ha

We cannot simply DISCREDIT Deepika for CE success.

Everyone knows Deepika was the main force to make it a super hit with her unexpected rib tickling flawless comedy along with Rohit's direction.

Srk was the weakest link in CE, and seems super irritring throughout the movie.

BILKUL hai.

100%.

Why is ranbir include in this list ????? Barfi rockstar came before yjhd both did very well while Deepika was giving flops. If anything Deepika should be thankful that yjhd happened to her. Yjhd was ranbir s show entirely
