I always found Kajol one-note as an actress, and highly overrated. Yes, she got scripts which were very promising and revolved around her, and it was also her pairing with SRK which sky-rocketed her to fame. Karisma to me is an overacting ki dukaan. Culd never figure out the hype around her.
But some genuine talents of the 90's I feel were Manisha and Urmila. Manisha did act in some critically acclaimed movies and her performances in Khamoshi and Bombay far surpassed anything Kajol has done. Even in Gupt, she overshadowed Kajol, even though Kajol had the author-backed role.
Urmila, desite being typecast as a sex symbol, can act the pants off her contemporaries. You only have to see Kaun and Ek Haseena Thi to believe it. She is a phenomenal talent, and can do those edgy roles with painstaking skill.
Do you guys agree?
