Should there be a balance between content and commercial, art-house and masala blockbusters? Should there be more female-centric movies and a few flowerpot roles in Khan movies?


Also, which actress comes closest to having the ideal filmography, IYO?

A mix between so-called mass and class oriented movies earning both box office success and critical acclaim across different genres. Ideally versatility of roles so no "flowerpot" characters but I understand actresses want to do that sometimes for the songs and box office credibility.


For example,

DP in 2013-2015 with YJHD, CE, Piku, and BM

Rani in 2004-2005 with Yuva, Hum Tum, Veer Zaara, Black, and Bunty Aur Babli

Both actresses had major box office success and critical acclaim in these periods but most importantly, the films and their performances continue to be loved even today.

Sridevi & Rekha's filmography from 80s-90s actresses.


Deepika & Alia's filmography from current gen actresses.


Perfect mixture of commercial & art films, which are both box office & critical successes.
