You summed it up really well cho.

I also feel she's getting sorta anxious about her career length now. We all know hwo abmitious she is. She keeps saying she wants to do cinema forever. Maybe hse's afraid that unless hse gets a hit, her career will fizzle out
Ironic becuase lal these years, her "commercial" films never did her as much good as her good roles.

I think that you've hit the nail on the head. We all know that actresses career length is small, maybe around 5-10 years-ish. Most of Kareena's contemporaries's (ie Rani, Preity) careers fizzled out by the time they were 30, even though things are changing. Kareena just hit 30. I think she IS anxious about the longetivity of her career. Kareena also realizes that in BW hits matter more than strong roles. Plus sadly for Kareena most of her movies with strong roles failed at the BO. So she's signing all these masala movies which will most likely be hits and will strengthen her positioon in BW.
I suppose it's a smart strategy, but at the same time I would also love it if she balances it out with movies like Heroine. I really do hope the movie is not shelved and whatever differences Madhur and Kareena have about the script get resolved!

I can see why bebo fans are upset but im not tht petrified. See, bebo took risks when she could afford to...in times wherein she had nothing to lose because she was getting one flop after another, she just gave everything a go...some worked, some didnt....but the point is..this was during the time when she was struggling to find her base and establish her roots within the industry...

Now that shes firmly positioned, she has everything to lose coz she is at one of her brightest spots of her career now...so i guess that is why shes trying to be conscious about signing "hit" films...then therz the added angle of her being concerned about her longetivity, not wanting to upset kJo again...and the fact that she can jump off a cliff for srk....so its all these restrictions that r making her stick to safe bets....i dunt blame her though...when u can afford to be safe...then why not?..but i guess for her own good...she needs to have a few flops so that she can take risks again.... :)...much like saif actually....i would seriously strangle him if he signs another siddharth anand or kunal kohli film...

On a side note...Madhur is such an ovverated director...he was good when he started off with page 3....but after that he just went more and more mediocre with each muvie...add to that the fact that he keeps blowing his own trumpet and is too complacent for his own good...should take lessons from meghna mathur's life!!

Yes thatz why I am saying she is doing the film! There was an article that came before this saying stuff like kareena doesn't want to be in Heroine and she is giving the director hard time and blah blah blah! And kareena confirmed in an interview saying she is committed to doing Heroine!

yeah i remember that interview too! that's why i'm wondering why everyone, especially the fans are getting so worked up about! Have faith guys!!!!

That's the thing! And its terrible luck or just...I dunno. But every film in which she has a good strong role flopped! And so unlike other actresses who get commercial hits now and then, Kareena always had this terrible spell of flops. And articles are already coming out calling her a flop queen. So I dont blame her for trying to chase commercial success. And being an actress, she IS thinking of still being in the producers' good books. And which producer would wanna sign an actress who cant even give a successful film, no matter how good she is at her work? Its unfortunate, and I think many things play into it.
Aye smarie pants you have a good point as well my friend.But it still frustrates us coz I for oen am yearning to see another chameli, JWM. The last good role had was in Kurbaan! And that movie too flopped.

^^ true...whenever she gets a good role, the muvie is not that good so it flops...and whenever her movie becums a superhit...her role is either stupid silly or just plain insignificant. sigh...its hard to strike that balance for a mainstream female actor...the last actor who achieved tht balance was rani i guess...but even she has gone poof now!! no one even cares....

Damn If she doesn't wanna do the movie, then her decision. I'm sure she has her reasons, why do we forget that we don't know EVERYTHING, there could be am million reasons as to why. I'm not defending her, but it's kinda annoying how people try to put forth their opinions as if there is nothing beyond it. Why do we need to dissect every little news related to her? Who are we to condemn her, if she doesn't want to be a part of some movie for whatever reasons, it's her career, I'm sure it matters more to her than any of us!!

How does being a part of Golmaal imply that she isn't serious about her career, or she's after publicity? :S I don't understand people's reasoning.

And what's the big fuss about Madhur anyway? Just another director who goes around making movies on the most played out stereotypes and wins a national award for it?
