Can Vidya Balan pull of DDLJ or HAHK

I was reading Katrina can not do female oriented films. But can Vidya do glam roles or even have a god romance pairing onscreen. She is very limited to this films she is doing but she does not get "shit on" for it. I do not even like Kat but she is treated OTT unfairly .

lets see how her next films do. two rom-coms: ghanchakkar with ermaan hashmi and shaadi ki side effects with farhan akhtar.

at least she is trying something new again.

well if she is shown as a sweet and girl next door yes she can do it too..

btw i dont agree with her not having the looks. i think she has a beautiful face.

Vidya is an amazing actress...but in my opinion she won't be able to pull off a DDLJ or HAHK type of role...although these roles are much easier than what she has done in TDP or Kahaani...Maybe I am wrong but this is just my gut feeling tht it won't work...i am dying to see Vidya and SRK in a MATURE love story though...

OMG, did u just say Vidya is not good looking?😲I think she has a beautiful face..Classic Indian beauty.Its another thing that she at times ruins it with her horrendous fashion sense but IMO she is way more pretty than Kat(check Paa for instance)..And where do i start about her acting skills.I think she is bloody brilliant.One of the best we have😳 I believe she is the only consistent actress in Bollywood. I cant recall one bad performance of hers.Even in movies like Hey Baby where she was torn apart for her fashion sense, I cant recall anyone criticizing her performance. I don think anyone can pull off TDP,Paa,Ishqiya or Parineeta the way Vidya did.

Kismat Konnection was a bad performance of hers.

You never know but judging from her previous KC and Heyy Baby than no. She just too boring and gets cheesy in a typical Bollywood heroine roles. While someone like Kajol can take a cheesy line and make it believable Vidya failed to do that in Heyy Babby.. it was awkward watching her act. She's just not natural in those roles.

No. Firstly, she'll never get such a film. Secondly, she's past the age for such films. Thirdly, she's more of a serious actress and known for author-backed roles. I doubt her acceptance in light hearted films or more conventional entertainers. She may be regarded as a classic beauty but still has a very "mature housewife" kind of feel about her. She's not what a Madhuri was and not even a girl next door like Kajol.

Vidya Balan's appeal is still niche and not massy type which guarantees hits like HAHK.

DDLJ, HAHK type films require girlish heroines whereas Vidya is womanly, mature, serious.

Vidya isn't a great dancer either.

An actress like her could've been on top in 50s perhaps. But not now. She's Mother India material not HAHK.

She doesn't need to- she can act- her face has expressions that convey feelings!
