Yes but with an OTT movie where she wasn't even the best performer. Pankaj was better. Mimi was an average performance - it was much better than expected but quite literally Yami had given 3-4 performances better than that (most recently in Lost) where she is consistently the best performer in her movies.
I would argue Vaani Kapoor had the same level of acting in CKA, except again, CKA was a very niche movie with a very difficult subject.
Also, Mimi was a sanitized remake - Mala Aai Vhhaychy was so much better. It is similar to Jhanvi Kapoor
's Mili where it was a sanitized version of the significantly better Helen.
OFC Mimi had more value for Kriti but it is hardly a breakthrough since Kriti has no Papa KJO - post Highway, where Alia kept getting bigger and better films - Kriti is stuck with flowerpot roles and she's in the movie for half of it.
Unfortunately I hope things turn around for Kriti because again, she has talent and I'm rooting for her, but she's been slogging for 9ish years and it still hasn't fully paid off yet.
Besides Alia, most actresses will take longer to come to the 'top'. It will probably take about 5-8 years for an actress to become A-list at this point. Gone are the days where Alia in her early 20s got top billing. Because now the audience accepts less movies, and therefore the roles of actresses that are not established will suffer.
But now - being married and in their 30s is not hurting an actresses's momentum as much as it used to. It takes longer to go to the top but one can stay at the top longer. Same with the 2018 debuts from the nepo kids to people like Tripti.
