Did Karishma have more successful career than Kareena? - Page 7

@ For those saying Kareena's career is nothing, she's overrated, her career is blah etc etc - even if I agree with you, tell me, what's so special about Karishma's career?

Karishma debuted in the early 90s, did some WTF comedy movies with Govinda that no one watched, and then finally found success with AAA / RH (circa 95-96). And that continued until Fiza (2000). After that, she drastically became irrelevant as Ash/PZ/Rani took over. Zubeida, Shakti were critically acclaimed, but commercially they were flops. No one cared for Karishma post 2000 as other actresses (like Ash Preity Rani etc) took over. That's 5 years worth of career.

Madhuri/Sridevi/Juhi all had longer careers than her and are recognized far more (Sri and Madhuri are like the most popular Indian faces ever and Juhi is recognized for her comedy). Kajol is still relevant and working with A stars. Tabu had a career revival with Haider / Andhadhun. Karishma won't stand a chance even with her 90s contemporaries...

Compare that with Kareena's 20 year long career and still going. Of course I understand it's the time ... Karishma worked at a time when films were not great and actresses didn't have a career after they reached 30. Kareena is lucky to enter at a time when films are so much better, there are so better roles written for girls after they are 30, audiences are more accepting of older actresses today.

But whatever the reason maybe, Kareena's career has surpassed Karishma's by miles.

I think that Kareena had a more successful career than Karishma (it even continues to this day)

But those Karishma/Govinda movies have huge recall value. More so than alot of the films that won best movie at Filmfare awards during 90s IMHO

Someone made an amazing tribute to kareena's 20 years. Probably the best I've seen

No . Karishma was a flowerpot in most of her movies throughout her career

I personally think it's unfair to even compare. Their journeys reflect the time they work/worked in and most of it is a result of that context. Their individual success, in whatever frame people want to discuss it, is wholly distinct. Comparing their films is like comparing apples and oranges, frankly.

Karishma will remain a memorable and loved 90s star and many of her films have tremendous rewatch value. Kareena has been successful for a very long time and still continues to be, being in the top spots today, which is an incredible feat.

The only measure of success that could be measurable and comparable is longevity and Kareena, after 20 years non-stop, is still going very strong. I'd give full credit to her ability to adapt, her ambition, and her pure luck.

Hum Saath Saath Hain had whom? Mohnish Behl, Tabu, Sonali Bendre were never Superstars or bankable stars. Nobody cared about Saif back then.

Salman and Karisma were by far the most popular faces in the movie. Salman was no Arjun Kapoor back then, but Hum Saath Saath Hain was also not a chindi Hit like Ki & Ka. It was a big Blockbuster. Same with Biwi No 1. It was also a big Hit.

Aamir wasn't even considered a Superstar before Raja Hindustani. That movie made him one. You think it's success did nothing for Karisma?

BTW, I would give credit to Kareena for Golmaal 3, but not for Bodyguard because everyone and their neighbor knows who made that film Blockbuster.

Fiza had Hrithik. Shakti had SRK in guest appearance. I'm sure if these films had worked, the male actors would've gotten credit, and if any solo movie starring Karisma didn't work, then that doesn't mean it would've worked with Kareena either. Because neither sister has/had stardom big enough to make a crap film work.

Like I said, you really think you're better than me and I'm not worthy of an argument with you.

Well if you really think so then you better stick to your words and stop arguing with me directly or INDIRECTLY.

hum saath saath hai released after two all time blockbusters from sooraj-salman duo salman at that point already 2 ATB 2 blocbuster and many hits i am sure those were big contributors plus hum saath was not even at the level of hum aapke hai kaun

So? Who cared about director's name in the 90s? Barjatya's movies clicked with the audience, that's a different thing but his name didn't have a brand value for general audience. Salman had Hits but he also had many Flops. He wasn't a Hit machine in 90s like in the last decade.

HSSH might not be as big of a Hit compared to HAHK or MPK but stil was a much bigger Hit than all films of Kareena.

if salman karishma were same level wrt stardoms in 90s so were shahid and kreena when jab we met released and jab we met was one of the biggest hits of 2007

karishma s zuiebeda was flop kreena s heroine was a average

kreena also has veere di wedding to her credit which opened at 10 cr she was the biggest probably the only crowd puller in that movie

if karishma is being credited for hum saath saath ha and raja hindustani then kreena should be credited for jab we met veere di wedding golmaal

both hum saath ha and jab we met are at the same level of hits

plus kreena has veere di wedding and ki and ka while karishma s zuiebeda fiza and even shakti did not do much

Maybe for people who grew up in the 90s and watched those during that time (like why I am still crazy for KKHH even though I recognize it's so silly). But they don't work well in modern day. Kareena's films are more modern and works well in today's time, but yeah ... like I sad the time factor is a huge deal. If Karishma debuted after the 2000s, chances are that she'd have a longer career too as today a lot of roles and films are made for older women which wasn't the case during the 90s.

However my point remains: regardless of the reason, Kareena has a longer and more meaningful career than did Karishma. If you compared Kareena with Sridevi or even Madhuri or even Kajol, I could understand. Sri gave solo hits even in her 50s while Kajol still gets big films opposite big stars and is still relevant, despite being Karishma's contemporary. Even non-actress like Shilpa Shetty is more popular with audience due to her yoga/fitness video. Tabu has had a career revival with Haider/Andhadhun. Karishma doesn't stand a chance even if she was compared with her 90s contemporaries. So the comparison with Kareena, who has literally left everyone else behind, is a bit silly.

Karishma would be honored to be compared to Kareena.

I agree Karishma would be honored to have career like Kareena

Also this its off topic But what you said about KKHH that its silly. That movie as well as HAHK, HDDCS, DTPH, DDLJ, and also Karishma's own Raja Hindustani. These films may have been more liked than Govinda's films in 90s but now they don't hold up as well among certain crowds
