Who can do it all? Romance, action, drama, comedy - Page 13

Well getting back to this topic I earlier posted that the actors I hadn't at that time heard being mentioned were Akshay Khanna and Urmila.

 

Akshay's movies we all should know about and he's done it all and excelled.  I do agree Urmila hasn't really done much out and out comedies but she has flared her comic timing in some movies.  She was good in Kunwara with Govinda, Khoobsurat with Sanjay Dutt and also Daud with Sanjay Dutt. 

 

I still remember Daud where Sanjay's calling Urmila Gauri Shankar and Urmila calls Sanjay Uma Parvati to throw the villager Chako off and that was funny.  She can be funny if the script demands it like in the Gauri Shankar and Uma Parvati scenes from Daud but it's a shame she didn't get many all out comedies to do.

After going through this topic, I feel that the actresses have not done as many genres as the actors. I knew they were way less in the "action" department but now I see that really none of them had the opportunity to branch out and excel in a new genre. Honestly it makes me really sad because there are actresses (believe it or not) who can go to great lengths to try something new. I never see Urmila anymore but she definitely has the acting chops! At least she's tried a hand in the comedy genre😊

I just don't think its fair to pick on certain members cause they think something that you don't think is right. Just let them be! Deleted a few posts before things escalated any further.

wow some people are now attacking members and calling their opinion for a joke and making fun of their thinking just to show their own favorite as good and the other actress as bad.

😊 Props to you Crystal!  Thanks for stressing the importance of not bashing.  On a sidenote, I mentioned earlier that most actresses cannot be 100% in all genres because of comedies.  Have comedies given actresses a chance to showcase their talent in the last decade?  Very few.  David Dhawan comedies are male-oriented.  Even if the females are there (Karisma Kapoor is an example), they just display their skin show and appear as eye-candy for the audience.  Have Priyanka, Kareena, Aish, Sushmita, and most other actresses been given the chance to display their comedic talents?  I think the opportunities they have received is very limited.  Kareena coming in a comedic role for Golmaal 3 was very rare.  Same goes for Aish in Action Replayy.  She has not been given a chance to showcase her comedic abilities.  I found her really good in the movie despite the story being lame and unoriginal.  And I know most actresses haven't done action, but watch Aish in Jodhaa Akbar (in her sword-fighting scenes).  She really excelled there.  And Last Legion (I know it is not a Bollywood film), but her role required action and she did a good job.

Edit: Scratch Juhi Chawla. She's never really done a negative role (that I know of).Edited by chatpati900 - 13 years ago

sorry to pinpoint out - but an opinion can't be correct or incorrect...only illogical, subjective, absurd, baseless.... Edited by lalixlili - 13 years ago

salman,hrithik,ranbir  and srk for me. akshay use to but nowdays he is just doing too many comedy movies that it's boring to watch him doing same thing over n over again  Edited by Miss.Colorfull - 13 years ago

That's an interesting question. I'd actually have to think about it because I can't think of any Bollywood actor/actress that in my opinion has excelled in all genres.

I think Ranbir has been convincing so far!!! His acting is subtle and gets to the heart of the characters he plays. He has maturity & smartness to pull off  a wide range of challenging characters. As for A. Khanna...am going to break some hearts..
