So I was wondering what you all thought. Kareena is in full demand these days having movies opposite almost every Khan. But is she really the actress that she is said to be? Meaning can you call her an all rounder actress? Sure she may have improved from her first film till now. But to me she is an overrated actress. And being the sister of one of my favorite actresses comparison is bound to occur even though it shouldn't. I don't think Kareena has it in her. I can't connect with her acting at all. I know there are a lot of Kareena fans on this forum. But letting all your biasness aside do you guys think that she can "act"? If so why? If not, why?

Please be honest (especially Kareena fans).

She can, because hse can effectively deliver in every genre.
Very few actresses can nail comedy, an d she's one of em.

She's equally good in dramatic scenes. She hasnt disappointed me in any film. Her films ahve disappointed, sure, but not her.
And apprently the industry aknowledges her talent. Direcotrs to actors alike.
This season of kwk was proof enough.

depends on choice...its perfectly fine and your opinion if you dont connect to her...but according to me, kareenas a fine actor...like desu said, after sridevi and juhi chawla, kareenas probably one of the very few actors who can actually make ppl laugh..

Similarly, she has also shown versatility with other roles like dev, refugee, Omkara etc...Sure shes not doing any hardcore "Acting" stuff now...but tht dosent mean she cant...

Surely most of the industry or the audience for that matter aren't blind...They know when they like someone, and they know exactly why..

Perhaps they see something in her which you dont...as i said, its a matter of choice and perception...therz no right or wrong..especially when it comes to artforms like acting, music etc...For example, I dont connect with Priyanka chopras acting at all, but therz lots of ppl who do...Similarly, lots of ppl hate katrina as an actor, but I dunt think shes half as bad..

But I think we have discussed kareenas abilities quite a bit in the last few weeks...

I think Kareena is one of the few actresses who's taking acting seriously these days. You can tell what actors are in for the fame and money and who aren't. Her performances in JWM, Omkara, 3 idiots and even Golmaal 3 has been great... she is definitely on a roll and working hard on herself.

Well .. just my opinion .. no bashing please .. I personally think that Kareena has been good in very very few films. Considering that she does almost 2-3 movies a year (may be more), she has delivered only a very few good performances till date. I didn't really like her in Omkara. She was absolutely fantasting in JWM and may be a bit ok in 3 Idiots. Apart from that in last 10 years of her career, she has performed well in may be just a few more movies but most of her acting has been cringe worthy, infact irritating.

I seriously don't get it why all the people on KWK and some other shows these days mention Kareena as their favorite. She has a good clout in bollywood and knows whoz who. She definitely likes being buttered and like for Salman, these days everybody is singing her praises but seriously has she really done anything worthwhile in past few years apart from JWM.
I loved Golmaal but both Golmaal 2 and Golmaal 3 were pathetic. In terms of jokes and acting, both of these movies were awful.
Kareena definitely looks good (most of the time). I have no problem in saying that she is very gorgeous but she isn't a good actor, infact nowhere close to being one and she comes across as a very immature person, maybe offlate being with Saif has had a good effect in her overall personality. And how can I forget all the stupid talk that she does in her interviews ... how cheaply kiddish.

If I'm any bollywood actresses' fan, that would be Kareena. But nowdays she ain't acting. So until she proves otherwise, she can't act for now. I don't believe in past glory, so I'm not gonna bring up Chameli/Dev/JWM. What has she done within the last 4 years that was worthwhile? The answer is nothing. Ether she proves she still has it or she can join the ranks of Katrina and Deepika. 😃


Nice topic. 👍🏼

Keeping all biasness aside, I will still say Kareena can definitely act. Not only just act, but she gives really powerful performances. I never liked her before cuz of her OTT acting in K3G, MPKDH, MDK but she improved so so so much after that. I started loving her from Khushi & IMO she totally aced it with Geet in JWM. She's fab in drama, comedy, emotional scenes, good at dancing...maybe we can see her doing action some day. She's neither overrated nor underrated, she deserves & is lucky to get all that claim & recognition she gets.

I am no Kareena supporter but she has improved over the years. JWM she impressed with Geet. In recent times, I liked her in G3 but I think the movie still belonged to the guys. She will impress in bodyguard as it has a strong script.

I would say she's a decent actress when she wants to be. Like someone else mentioned in this thread earlier, I haven't been able to ever 'connect' with her either. I've seen practically all her movies, I've been following her since her first debut but she's never really grown on me.
