Box Office Ki Raani: Katrina vs Priyanka - ROUND 2 - Page 3

I was talking about IF members in general not YOU Chrystal --- and if you don't post in that thread any longer - you are the most welcome 😊

Kat works because of her glam quotient. She has a certain charm to herself, a charming personality. But in terms of acting, I see nothing. And I find her accent to be annoying.

And when it comes to bollywood, looks def. matter. Not saying that it takes away from other reasons of having fans, such as talent, charm etc. But, it's a fact, a harsh one, but it is...that people like celebs for their looks too. I've personally had a few people say they don't like Konkona because she isn't "pretty". Such is this world.

These are the comments about the post on Aspi's blog --- you can react to them --- some of them truly hit the nail....

"I'll vote for Priyanka any day over Katrina! Bebo had made me mad with KI and Kurbaan but wow, she was so cute in 3 Idiots. So as a Bebo fan I hope she comes out aces in 2010 :)"

"Agreed, Piggy over Kat any day!"

"basically what u r saying is can priyanka be the next madhuri or ash and not just another #1. katrina is just another #1."

"Say it ain't so, Katrina at No 1?What about Kaminey, I thought that did well in cinemas?"

"Aspi, you left out the obvious comparison between the two - one looks like she could pass as caucasian and the other can pull off an earthy south asian look with ease...my vote will go to pc if for nothing else but that..I think katrina has looks that appeal across borders and will take the international market. smartest thing she has done is stick to the vapid empty prop roles :)
Rashee or not...Dostana and Kaminey rocked because of pc. nothing rocked because of Katrina but she made a great detail in the background :)"

"*****, well said and good point about the looks and what each actress gets from it. Speaking of which, PC's lips look like they are about to explode one of these days."

"It is PC all the way, ignore the Lips !"

"2009 definitely belonged to PC but ...saw the promos of Rajneeti and I rather like Katrina in it. PC has a few years on Katrina so she is done with the running around the tree roles and has moved on to more mature cinema a la Karisma Kapoor. Also Indian movies require a certain level of acting from the actresses but it is not really earth shattering. Kat has the backing of some good directors and immense screen presence just like bebo who gave mostly flop movies but is still quite sought after."

"Priyanka got way overrated (in acting) in like a year.. she's so mediocre..but even then she's better than katrina who is way overrated in looks.. ******* face.. i think its her skin tone that makes her so desirable to a lot of Indians..i thou0ght you'd do a post on avatar aspi..and tell us what motorsandal and the other munchkin thought about the movie."

"Hey aspi. a nice write up again. b'town actresses leave alot to be desired, and i mean tht in context of their acting skills. and to the guy saying PC has earthy south asian looks, i agree, but she even has hints of eva mendes( every time i look at eva mendes, specially in hitch- she scream 'priyanka' to me) that said, Kat is the most overrated actress in town.a penguin can act better than her. she and her *****/******* on/off sallu need to be sent to **** ****** cinema. where they will be a hit with....errr penguins? sorry but how can one not look thru kat's poor acting skills. she can do us a favour and be a card board cut out in the background of her upcoming movies."

"I did want to do a post on avatar but ran out of both time and something different to say :(To add to this discussion, I'm a little surprised by how aware both Kat and PC seem to be of their limitations. For e.g. Kat has an excellent understanding that she is popular because she is congenial i.e. she is of the Jessica Simpson school of popularity. And PC seems to understand that she is a smart actor rather than an organically good one. Since everyone (except ******) is running out of good things to say about Kat, I'll add this: she has probably the best dress sense among all the actresses today. She looks good in both western and indian wear. She seems to have a career plan."

"No, Katrina does not have the best dress sense. I would vote for Sonam or Neha or Dia. Katrina wears some ridiculous looking outfits sometimes and I hate how she drapes and ***** up the saree when it is not necessary for such a sensual garment. I agree that PC is overrated but compared to Katrina she looks like Meryl Streep. Unfortunately for PC her upcoming movies look like a move backwards - Pyaar Impossible with Uday Chopra - what was she thinking? The best female lineup for 2010 belongs to Kareena, Aishwarya and Vidya. They all have interesting movies forthcoming.Priyanka made her debut in 2002 so has been in the industry for 8 years and Katrina arrived in 2003 so has been around for 7 years. They are not newbies. BTW, Katrina puffed up her lips too and can give PC competition in that area. LOL"

"******* 8 and 7 years? Wow, time flies! Also Meryl Streep analogy - pretty funny :) Katrina picks her color combos like a Parsi woman. Maybe that's why I like her dress sense so much."
