Shes only improving...there is only progress and no decline...which is awsome! go kat!

I agree! I think we should give her a chance! She was good in Rajneeti actually! Have u seen the movie? I was really suprised! I was like wow, didn't expect this from Kat! I said it before and I say it again, she needs good directors like Madhur and Vishal, and am sure she will deliver a decent performance! But if she keeps making films with Akki, no one is gonna take her seriously as an actress! She needs another Rajneeti!

^^precicely....its directors like vishal, imtiaz, mani ratnam etc who bring out the best in their actors (with the exception of AB in raavan)...kat never got to work with such ppl till now coz she was never offered such films...she did whtever she was offered..coz the girls got to feed herself!! but i strongly believe she would be totally awsome in a movie with a capable director.

well, nothing is impossible... even the word, impossible, spells i m possible...! 😛😛

Well, it's taken her about 7 years to improve to this level so i don't know if I'd be getting hyper about her taking things to the next level just yet. Katrina has a very very very long way to go as an actress and while she is improving, her groW*H has been pretty slow. While, she might be capable of doing a small (read miniscule) bit in Rajneeti, I honestly don't think she can carry a film like Jab we Met or Fashion on her shoulders at this point. Yes, she did a Namastey London but that did not really require much acting since she was literally playing herself in the movie.

and even if she does not win a National Award, it really would not matter... a lot of actors and actresses have never won an award, but they had a good career... so really, that's all that matters in the end...

Idk, I really don't see any major improvement in her and it has been 7 years. I hope she does though, she stars in a hell lot of movies.

A minor analogy on Ash and Kat's acting: Ash, though not a great actress, still did films where she was required to act. From the very beginning of her career, Ash stuck to films that gave her scopes to act and prove herself. Ash did not use her beauty (even though many producers used Ash only for that purpose) to make a name for herself. Despite of having the looks, Ash performed in films where her role was more than just being a showpiece.

Since you brought in Priyanka, I will give you that Priyanka acted terribly in the films you mentioned. She hammed her way through them, yes, but the fact that many of those films gave Priyanka substantial roles can't be denied either. Same goes for Kat's contemporaries: Sonam's roles in Saawariya and D6 had far more meat than anything Kat had done so far. And it is for this reason that, actresses like Priyanka, Kareena, Rani, etc improved their prowess with each new films: they took risk and tried to do films with substantial roles. Based on that, I see Sonam going a long way ahead (at least when compared with someone like Kat). Same goes for Deepika; her roles aren't necessarily the greatest, but they are way better than Kat's half-baked ones.

Katrina, on the other hand, has yet to do a single movie (with the possible exception of New York) where she is required to act. In Raajneeti, all she was required to do was to wave her hands and be an arm-candy. Kat's roles usually consist of looking pretty and smiling her head off and dancing. She had barely went out of her comfort zone and tried her hands at films which rests solely on her shoulder, and which gives her the chance to show her acting prowess (if she has any, that is). And this is why I really don't see Kat going far when it comes to the acting department. Until and unless she starts doing meaty roles (like Kareena in Chameli, Rani in Saathiya, Priyanka in Aitraaz/Fashion, etc, i.e. roles that helped them prove themselves), she will remain the mediocre actress that she is.

Sorry, didn't mean to write an essay. 😆

😉 Ok, I am making another topic on Katrina in the hopes it is successful like my previous one. The question of this topic, can Katrina take it to the next level? I think she can equal or might surpass Madhuri Dixit in terms of hits only, but how about acting and awards? Can Katrina do what it takes to win a best actress or National Award? Sure, she showed acting promise in New York and Raajneti. But, can Katrina do a role like Kareena in Jab We Met, Aish in Devdas or HDDCS, Rani in Black, or even Preity in KHNH?

Only time will tell. I hope Katrina can take it to the next level and achieve this feat before age 30! 😲

i agree with you on some points... but i do think, that Katrina does choose her roles well... she chooses roles, where she won't butcher her character... i think she is well aware of her capabilities... and that's probably why she does not choose movies like Chameli, Saathiya, Aitraaz, Fashion, or JWM...!!

i liked her in Namaste London... and that was a role where she could perform... it helped that she could relate a lot to the character (because she also has similar background)... and she was good in New York... again, i imagine because she could relate... but let's be realistic... there are always going to be roles of commercial nature, considering the movies that actually do well at the box office... so in that regards, she really does not has too much competition... agree with you though, about deepika choosing good roles... she's choosing a variety of roles, which in the long run, will be a smart choice... i think she will go far...!

in order for Katrina's career to go downhill, things would have to drastically change in our film industry... which i don't see happening anytime soon...!!

p.s. essays are good... provide for a meaningful debate...! 😉😆😆

Anyway, a role can be both commercial and substantial. Her roles in New York and Namaste London are good examples. One doesn't have to play serious characters or work in pretentious artsy flicks to prove oneself.
