Most Expressive Actresses of Indian Cinema




This post is about actresses who are brilliantly expressive on screen. Those who emote so well that they make you cry, laugh and be filled with fury with them. So here are my choices:

Rani Mukherjee- is number one on this list for obvious reasons. She is one of the few actresses who managed
to make audience cry their hearts out in a film like Black or make them LOL in a film like Bunty & Babli – all in the span of a year. When she cries, you cry with her.

Vidya Balan – Whether it's the rage of Manjulika or the sweetness of Lalita (in Parineeta), Vidya Balan is one actress who emotes extremely well on screen. She has changed the meaning of the conventional bollywood actress who are mostly reduced to fill in the glamour quotients. Vidya Balan is one of the most versatile actresses Indian Cinema has produced in recent years.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan- I am not a fan of Aishwarya nor am I a hater, but I do have to admit that she emotes quite well in films. Her best performances so far have been Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, Devdas and Provoked. Her best feature (Which allows her to emote so well)?? Any guesses ?? Yupp, her eyes !

Madhuri Dixit – Madhuri is the eternal superstar who has it all. She mostly wowed audience through her dancing and masala type films. However, Madhuri has also proved that she is one of the most expressive actresses around. Be it a simple housewife who avenges her husband's death in Anjaam or the timeless seductress in Devdas, Madhuri knows how to make everyone go 'dhak dhak'.

Sri Devi- One of the most talented actresses in Bollywood. She can bring child like innocence to a character like Pooja in Lamhe or show extreme maturity like Benazir in Khuda Gawah. One of the most expressive actresses in Hindi Cinema – she has 4 Filmfare Awards to prove it.

Priyanka Chopra & Kareena Kapoor – Okay Most of you wouldn't agree with this one, but I for one do believe that PC and Bebo emote well on screen. PC has one national award to prove her talent . Bebo on the other hand has proved this with films like JWM and Dev.

Okay ! So these are the Top 6 on my list ! What are your preferences?

And while we are at it, how about you guys point out some LEAST EXPRESSIVE STARS ???

P.S Please be nice if you disagree with any of these choices. Don't scare me away from PV yet again Hahah Just kidding !

I think tabu and koko emote exceptionally well...and if ur also taking into account yesteryear actresses, then madhubala, sharmila tagore, waheeda rahaman and shabana azmi should also be on the list. these days,i alo like how anushka emotes.

I think all of them are expressive with their eyes so good choice.
But I cry whenever Rani is crying. I smile whenever Madhuri is smiling. I'm sad whenever I see Konkona being sad. I dance whenever I see aish dancing. I want to become an actress whenever I see Sridevi.

I thought the title said most expensive actresses and when I read the post I was like what does being expensive have to do with emoting on screen! lol

My favorite are Kareena and Rani. They are really good. For some reason I don't remember any koko scene where she is crying.

PC was good in Fashion too. But in AAA, she over does the crying scenes.

Kareena is very expressive. But for me, I cry whenever I see Rani crying that's a big step since I usually don't cry ...lol unless it's an srk movie...but I also cried at the end of lak when jai came back to meera lol

That's the problem lol...I love koko but I haven't seen many of her films. No I haven't seen 15 park avenue. That's the one where Koko's character has Schizophrenia right? I heard about it on this forum before. The only films I have seen Koko in is WAS, Omkara, Life in A metro, and Luck By Chance. Okay I have seen a few..I thought I saw like 2. 😆 I have seen the one she did with ajay too but that's a comedy.
