One Hit Wonders

They made a huge splash in one film and have hardly been heard of since. We take a look at one hit wonders of Bollywood.

Fardeen Khan: His last hit was Sajid Khan's Heyy Babyy. Flops like Dulha Mil Gaya and Acid Factory have followed. He cannot act. He has family riches to live off of.

Zayed Khan: He is best remembered for playing Lucky in Main Hoon Na. He has not had a hit since then and one cannot bank on his acting (dis)ability. He lives off his father Sanjay's wealth. Sharafat Gayi Tel Lene, his next film has been in the cans for a while.

Esha Deol: She is best remembered for flaunting her toned body in a bikini in Dhoom. After that, the hot avatar did not work for her. She is not much of an actress. Tell Me Oh Khuda is her relaunch film and she is supported by her rich and famous parents.

Genelia D'souza: She lit up the screen in Jaane Tu Yaa Jaane Naa. People hailed her as the next feisty girl-next-door. She has several endorsements but no Bollywood films so she is back to concentrating on her career down South. She is rumoured to be dating Ritesh Deshmukh and he apparently pays for her international shopping excursions.

Vivek Oberoi: He made waves with his supporting role in Kurbaan and before that in Shootout at Lokhandwala. His super spy turn in Prince did nothing for him and his performance was plain bad. He will now be seen in RGV's Rakta Charitra.

Asin: She was hailed as the next-big-thing with her stellar debut in Ghajini. She was reduced to a couture-clad doll in London Dreams and has not signed any films since. There are just rumours about her doing certain movies.

I think the article is being harsh with Asin and Genelia. I wouldn't tag them as one hit wonders because they have potential. As for Fardeen, Zayed and Esha, well their acting skills are limited and I doubt their respective career graphs will go up at this stage. I'm not sure about Vivek though. I like him as an actor and he has talent but I wonder if he will be able to secure a place considering the tough competition.

I see potential in Genelia. She was good in Life Partner her recent film i recall

Vivek Ob. is a good actor. he was amazingly awesome in Shoutout at lonkanwala and he was good in Kurbaan. I just think he needs a big solo hit. But he is a good actor.

Faridon and Esha okay....they are nothing worse than Kat haha

Zayed Khan=can't act at all annoys me so much GRRR

Asin =haven't seen too many of her films to judge only seen Ghajni and she was good but not great

Well i wouldn't call Genelia a one hit wonder cz she has only done 2 films n one was a super hit! n that too with another new comer..so thats kind of great isn't it?
give her sm more chances..even her 2nd film though t didn't do well she was very good in that role.
i still remember n love her Boys movie..she is damn cute!

Asin s also gud..bt well Gajini worked cz of Aamir mainly..so can't say that much abt her comparatively..
