I still have to watch Fighter, but I think that it is also the task of a good director to showcase the strengths of an actress (otherwise why even cast her)...and no, skin-show isn't what I mean.
Nobody can deny that she acted very well in her small role in Jawan...and also in other movies that had been mentioned already.
Actually, I sometimes wonder how some here measure the skills of an actor or actress...what makes Deepika to some below/just average or a good actress (I agree that dialogue delivery for me is mostly based on tone matching to acting to situation and that has never been a point of criticism relative to Deepika).
My take about Deepika's acting: it is so good that I can relate to the characters and also feel with/for them.
