Alia Bhatt might be the only female star who could pull audience

Alia Bhatt might be the only female actress in the world who could pull audience to cinemas for "original" films. Hollywood currently faces challenges with movie stars struggling to open "original" films solely based on their name. Jennifer Lawrence's failed miserable with No Hard Feelings flopping and is in ruts following back to back box office flops, Emma Stone has taken a step back from making commercial films and Margot Robbie's mega success hinged on the iconic "Barbie" brand. Other actresses like Florence Pugh often rely on a lucky indie project firing for potential Oscar recognition. No actress in Hollywood can attract audiences to cinemas unless the film is based on an established IP.

Considering the lack of actresses in Korean or Chinese cinema who can attract audiences to cinemas, Alia Bhatt holds a unique position. She not only has the potential for critical acclaim but also box office pull to draw audiences to "original" films. Given her significant advantage in the Indian film industry, I wonder the necessity for her to pursue Hollywood when she can achieve both critical acclaim and audience patronage right at home, a feat that many actresses in other film industries struggle to achieve.

PS: I am not asserting that she has box office appeal in America or other countries. Therefore, please refrain from using Heart of Stone as an example. What I am emphasizing is that Alia Bhatt possesses a level of audience patronage in India that no actress can match in their own countries.

3...2.. 1, shaitan loading😅

What films has she carried at the box office by herself? Rocky aur Rani focused as much on KJo's directorial return, Ranveer Singh, and old legends like Dharmendra, Jaya, Shabana, etc. And people keep saying Rocky aur Rani didn't do very well in India and was only a success overseas.

Lol Emma Stone's Poor Things is about to take a huge BO win despite being niche. Angelina has a mega hit coming next year.

Also you completely left out France where female star power is huge. China has a lot of female star power so idk what you're talking about either (Korea I agree with, and Japan is in a similar position as India, with a majority male audience watching movies that tend to be quite misogynistic)

Raazi..I won't list Gangu and Dear Zindagi since it had superstar cameos and a superstar director.

But Raazi opening at 8cr and doing 125cr net in India and 200cr plus gross worldwide on a budget of only 35cr is one of the biggest successes ever headlined by a female actor alone

Pull what ? Our teeth?

Mary Kom and TWMR also opened at 8crores. VDW opened at 12crores

Heroine opened at 8cr too so did Jism 2

But lifetime of all these movies fell short..Raazi beats all except TWMR which was a franchise

Raazi had Vicky Kaushal too, lets not forget that
