The standards in bollywood have not only fallen down as far as beauty and screen presence are concerned, but acting and screen presence has gone for a complete toss. I can't rememeber the last bollywood movie I saw of a newcomer that I liked, Its sad but I've only liked Ranbir so far, who debuted 10 years ago. I found S via Mirchi, then saw Arundhati, and got bowled over. Rudhramadevi was such a mindblowing movie. I couldn't believe my eyes -- only S could have pulled off that role. It is no wonder she was chosen to play Devsasena. The current crop of bollywood, save 2-3 individuals, cannot act to save their lives, in my opinion. The fact that bollywood movies like Badrinath ki Dhulania and other such crap-fests with talentless people become hits, well, there's a reason for it -- there's an audience who loves such crap-fests, which is truly sad because bollywood will go from bad to worse and finally land in the gutter.
S has tremendous screen presence and beauty, regardless of her bodyweight (she, according to me, has this amazing ability to look amazing no matter what). Her chemistry with D is so electrifying that I wouldn't need to hear two words from their mouths, and could happily stare at them for eternity.
