Madhuri dixit!! WHATS ALL THE FUSS ABOUT? - Page 7

It is true that Madhuri Dixit was once the Goddess in Indian cinema. She definitely is no longer a Goddess, but I wouldn't completely dismiss. Aaja Nachle was not the best of films. However, Dedh Isqiya received great reviews including accolades for her role. The movie was not promoted well enough and release was not well timed.

 

Also I think Madhuri's failures tend to reflect a lack of appreciation for female celebrities in India. Male superstars like SRK, Salman, Aamir, Saif work well past their shelf life and prance around like young heroes. Female stars though don't have this liberty. It is only recently audiences have started accepting women centric movies with commercial success. More women centric movies are being made. But for the older women who are past their prime as heroines the going is still tough. On the other hand look at Meryl Streep, Judi Dench, Hellen Mirren who are beloved even in their silver years.

 

In another comparison Sandra Bullock, academy award nominee this year for Gravity is 49 years old. Almost 50 but she still had the pivotal role in Gravity and carried a movie. In Bollywood it would be a tough sell for a film entirely on a woman.  At the same time she still makes commercial films like The Heat. Madhuri is 46, but ever since she decided to make a comeback people have been writing her off as past prime.

You're excused because your reasons are wrong 😆

1) Aaja Nachle may be a flop, but it's music was a HUGE HIT. She was also appreciated by the critics for her performance. Despite being a BO flop, it worked positive for her and her carrier. So that didn't still took away her stardom.

2) JDJ - I guess Madhuri doing JDJ wasn't any bad choice. Because many teens who didn't knew much about Madhuri started searching for her movies-songs and became fans. Like MANY of my young cousins-friends became crazy fans of her after Jhalak. They knew very less about her, but after watching her in JDJ, they were inspired and started looking for her songs and movies and became fans. So JDJ was also positive for Madhuri. She was then more recognized and loved also by the Indian Telly lovers.

3) Her item number in YJHD was a big hit. Dedh Ishiya did fair business, and BOI declared it a hit too. Now i am sure Gulab Gang will also be a hit.

4) Her stage performances like in IIFA, Filmfare are the most viewed in Youtube.

5) Where on earth is she playing 'young, fresh character roles'? She's playing only those roles which suits her/persona and her age. 

So all these proves her "one of a kind" still not disappeared, but increased/grew even more.😳

SO still she's a star (SURELY NOT LIKE BEFORE, And that's not possible too) and also can continue playing leading actress 'Heroines' in movies and can make it a Hit. 😃

seen how poor karishma bhatak rahi hai with NOTHING.

 

on a positive note, i think its good to open such threads and vent out on other actresses when your loved ones are smacked down hard by current hottie deepika.

smacked down so hard that i don't think they won't be able to shake their tooths anymore.

its over.
