Since this bolly section discusses Miss Kapoor's career and failure at the box office so much. A small observation of her choice in movies -

Most of her roles in movies all seem to come from novels, and r some type of version of some old classic story - with a bit of symbolism- for example:

Saawariya - An adaptation of the russian story white nights and used alot of symbolism

Dillii 6 - Not from a novel but the kala bandar episode was a news story and the movie had tons of symbolism

Aisha - Remake of emma and clueless

Mirza sahiba - If reports are true then this will be another movie adaptation of a old classic story


So while most of the actresses are doing big successful masala films sonam is doing old cinema type of stuff that hasn't really been made in quite while. Are her choices good? Or do you think the public has moved on from turning novels into movies and wants more masala - so because of that her movie choice doesnt work?

I really do not think she is avoiding masala movies.

This is a good discussion topic. In the 80s when Hemas, Sharmilas and Rekhas were busy doing commercial films, there was Dipti Naval who did such serious cinema. What a refreshing change I tell you!
Actually Sonam has some similarities with Dipti Naval. Both read a lot and have beautiful long hair and can speak.
With this kind of list I am sure Sonam's career will be as good as Dipti's. These commercial masalas are just waste of time. Can't wait to watch Clueless's adaptation oops I mean Emma's Hindi adaptation.
BTW can we believe Mumbai Mirror reporting on Mirza-Sahibaan? Most times they are accused of false news. THIS we can believe.

I don't know or understand why Sonam thinks she's doing arty, critically viable or "intelligent" flicks when she's not. Her movies are masala potboilers just like everyone else'. Let her do a Nandita's role in fire or more recently Tulip's role in Matrubhoomi and then we'll talk. 😊

Maya, as far as I know, none of the Sonam fans are actually believing the Mirza-Sahibaan article because like you said Mumbai-Mirror is not reliable.

And Sonam has three commercial movies lined up. Aisha which is inspired by EMMA not Clueless as like you to believe, Dharma's and another one that she would announce soon but talked a little about in Harper's.

Before anyone says how Sonam said she does movies with "subtense" but changed her point of view and is signing commercial movies now....She said recently in an interview that when someone asks her something, she'll answer something based on the current situation and her mood but when that situation arises, she might do the complete opposite because opinions changes and so do the way you see things.

And Sonam has stinky fans.....others are more concerned about her career than her fans.

P.S: Maya do you know a girl named Deepa? She sounds awfully a lot like you. I don't know if she actually copies or pastes your posts from here and post them at other places or you both share the same views.....

No. I don't know anyone named Deepa. Where does she post? If she copy-pastes me then for sure she must be a member here or may be someone who stalks my posts. So be assured that it's not me. It is some cheap copycat.
There is only one Maya-Decoder and I post ONLY on India-Forums and here too I have requested Vijay (Admin) to disable my id. I am still trying to convince them. So I will post till my id is disabled.
Thanks for telling me though. I have received tons of offensive PMs that I don't think it is worth to continue here.

The topic was started by a Sonam fan for discussion. She didn't post a disclaimer that ONLY Sonam fans were allowed in here. Even otherwise this is not an exclusive club.
As for any actor, I don't think they are a private property of fans. Sonam or Deepika or Aishwarya or Kareena, whatever they say and do will be scrutinized by everyone. Look around there is a post on Finding Shantipriya too. 😆😆 I don't care about what anybody's fans say, I will comment on topics as I wish.
Sonam-Deepika. Two newcomers who are yet to prove their skills are getting way too much attention. 🥱
