Indian film industry doesn't give much scope for an actor men or women to display their talent. We are not Hollywood, Meryl Streep or Daniel Day Lewis wouldn't have the career they had if they are in our business.
Deepika Pakudone serves a purpose, is she capable of more maybe, but we will never know.
Nargis didn't get into the pantheon of great acting till Mother India, and that was much later in her career.
You might just get that one or two roles that defines your whole career in the Indian Film Industry and you better nail them if you want to be called a great actress, I think Priyanka has done that but not DP, even in the same movie Priyanka knocked her out of the boxing ring with a single punch. Beside we don't sell acting we sell stardom, not quality but box office numbers. How many of us are talking about DP acting or contribution in Pathan it is just about box office numbers and SRK is back. But look at Tom Cruise Maverick, yes box office is great, but the real story is Tom Cruise fearlessness commitment dedication to his craft.
