I can't say because I haven't seen both. But yes it did seem in Robot she put a lot of effort in the song but not in her acting! And she did seem bored to me. Not trying hard enough!
But kareena didn't even get as bad reviews as Aish got for robot, ravaan and action replay. While with kareena most critics liked her in we are family and golmaal 3.
Am not trying to compare the two actress, am just trying to answer your question!
I always maintain that Aish is great in period/dramatic films like Devdas, HDDCS, Taal, Jodhaa Akbar, Guru, Sarkar Raj, Provoked, Raincoat, Guzaarish, etc. Her commercial films like Dhoom 2, Robot, Action Replayy make me wonder that this genre does not suit her at all. Robot was a loud, over the top film and if it did not have Rajnikanth in it, it would have flopped from day one. It is not Aish's fault, but the director's. Aish is required to look good and do what she is given. In a lot of her interviews over the years, Aish even prefers to work in unconventional roles. She took up the commercial films to mark a balance between meaningful and fun films. Not everyone can excel in commercial films. At least Aish tried. I have to give her credit for that! 😊😊😊
