The Top Ten Heroines Today

Thursday 09 January 2019 12.30 ISTBox Office India Trade Network

There is always a demand to do heroine rankings like we do for male stars but it cant really work that as the top heroine would be the one working with the bigger male stars as its those films that take an initial and it would give results which are not actually correct. So with a big heroine orientated film Chhapaak releasing tomorrow (Friday) the list of top heroines is down below

There is no heroine with what you would call a boxoffice draw but a more popular heroine can obviously push up a film compared to a less popular one although when there are big stars involved it hardly matters if the heroine is most popular a bit lower down the pecking order.

The difference between Alia Bhatt and the others is that there is huge popularity in Mumbai and Pune which shows in box office collections. A film like Gully Boy was a Mumbai and Pune film so the out performance of that was always going to be these two cities and the Alia Bhatt factor contributes just a little here. The popularity though shows in films like 2 States and Raazi as these are films which would be expected to have a big North ratio but the presence of Alia Bhatt gives strong numbers in Mumbai and Pune which means Mumbai circuit performs better than it should. Both these films hit 33-34% ratio in Mumbai while without here they would be 30% and a Raazi could even be same in Delhi / UP and Mumbai at 27%.

The draw if any for a heroine will in the big centers today and not smaller cities as they hero hold too much importance here but no other leading heroine has a draw in any other center. There is a case for Rani Mukherjee in West Bengal who is still the top heroine there and this is easily seen from the numbers but she is not in the race and West Bengal alone is not going to make a difference when in others there is a big gap.

If we talk about outside the metros then the most popular heroines will probably be Kareena Kapoor and Katrina Kaif although this will not show up in numbers. But as they have bigger body of work and more popular films it probably makes them the most known heroines outside metros.

Kareena Kapoor deserves a special mention as after Good Newwz is probably close to that second position and the results of Chapaak will tell. But more than that its the longevity of twenty years as a main female lead which is far more than any other heroine in history and still among the top three. There have been four superstar heroines in the film industry with Mumtaz, Hema Malini, Sridevi and Madhuri Dixit but if this longevity of Kareena Kapoor lasts a few more films then there will be a case for a fifth superstar heroine in the 100 odd year history of Hindi cinema. The top ten heroines at the present time taking into account collections in different places which can show certain trends, genres and taking into account the set up of a film and male stars are as follows. This can always be be arguable as its not based on just facts and figures but facts and figures wont give the correct picture here.

1. Alia Bhatt

2. Deepika Padukone

3. Kareena Kapoor

4. Katrina Kaif

5. Shraddha Kapoor

6. Kriti Sanon

7. Kangana Ranuat

8. Anushka Sharma

9. Sara Ali Khan

10. Priyanka Chopra

Honestly, it's a joke to credit replaceable Alia for Gully Boy's success. That movie rests squarely on Ranveer's shoulders.

One can argue that Raazi was on her, but the movie is well-made with an interesting concept. Meaty characters like that don't go to well-deserving actresses because Alia gets to them before anyone else. It's very evident.

Just look at her filmography. It reeks of under-table handlings and deals to make sure she is constantly putting out "great" movies. It's not a mere coincident that she was in all the right places at the right time. To make an argument that her career profile is impressive to "prove" her talent and skills is ridiculous.

One article talks about her box office appeal it makes here a box office puller? I would go as far to say back in the day Katrina was more of box office puller. She made mediocre films work because of her. Again if the box office results are not because of content and are because of Alia than why do her poor content movies like Kalank and Shandaar flop? And it takes a good director to extract a good performance out of her as well. The reviews from SOTY alone are proof of that.

I know if she was as talented as people make her out to be. She wouldn't need people to vouch for her at this point. She still does and that says something. Every time a film isn't great content the film flops. Raazi was also based on a great book and was semi-patriotic film.

Yes, everyone is jealous of Alia Bhatt. Even people who do not want to become actors just want more quality entertainment. She has so much to make people envy her below average looks, comical dancing skills, poster child of nepotism, exaggerated talent and she is famous from her dumb quotes.

I bet you will argue no insider was jealous of Sushant Singh Rajput. As Manoj puts it people are always jealous of genuine talent. As Abhishek Kapoor put it genuine talent is chosen in an audition of many because their talent shines. Along with talent, he had dancing skills, intellect better than most insiders, amazing looks and success he earned on his own merit. It wasn't given to him on a platter by some God father.

People always look down on those who don't work hard for their success because there is no way you can justify that it on merit. I am sorry if you mistake that for jealousy.

Interesting Shahid recommending his ex??
