Sonam and Rhea's modus operandi seems to be making films centred around Sonam. And then hire talents like Rajkummar Rao and Dulquer Salman to cover up the shortcomings. Janhvi seems to be following the same formula. This tactic of creating curated projects worked for Alia since she's talented. But for the Kapoor girls. No.
Rhea thinks that she made great inroads by making men into item pieces. I could see serious producers at that Roundtable like Siddharth Roy Kapoor trying hard to keep a serious face. Even Karan Johar was making serious statements about making films from a producer's standpoint. And then this oblivious gal comes and speaks this nonsense. I've heard successful female producers from other industries talk about the challenges of mounting a film. And Rhea doesn't even realise how much of her way is smoothened by her connections.
As for Harshwardhan, as a fellow bibliophile I'm inclined to turn an occasional blind eye.
In comparison to Harshburden, Rhea and Sonam have positively contributed to something, how miniscule that might be. And I don't agree that they did not make inroads to a certain genre of movies to be made in BW. Like some rule, there are so few women comedies or chickflicks in BW, or just plain old good comedies centered around female friendship. They certainly paved the way with Aisha, Khoobsurat, VDW etc. Credit where's it due.
Their MO of working, verbal diarrhea and general snootiness I don't endorse.
