comparisons should be done with same era of actress and not different era actress...they both are good in their respective space of work...
Kajol is an actress in the 90s where leading ladies has no much scope to do those days thus she picks films like Baazigar...Dushman...Gupt..DDLJ...KKHH...Ishq and many more those days...if you see her careergraph...her roles are not flowerpots in the 90s...she has a strong role in the film...the problem with her is she didn't push the bar in her work wise becos she gave importance to her married life and kids...she is not ambitious or wants to prove the world something...she works for her own happiness and she chooses role which she is comfortable in...and she gives her 100%...
those days in 90s...YRF rules...Dharma rules and her pairing with SRK is legend...they are BW romantic couple of all times
when PC enter BW...women centric roles began to enter BW...slowly scripts are written for womens and performance oriented films begins to make a success...more options were open whether one wants to be a commercial cinema actress or performance oriented actress or both together a balance in commercial and performance oriented cinema...even complex character begin to rule...there was more options to choose in form of roles...and those roles are definitely not flowerpots...PC loves to challenge herself...push her bar in work wise...challenge comes with complex roles...after doing flowerpots role...she began to challenge herself and push her bar...she chose all the complex characters...she challenge herself even more that she qualiies for both commercial success and complex characters...there was more options for her to choose and prove herself...BW too going through a change of giving female leading ladies a good script...unlike in the 90s in where leading ladies had to dance more than acting...only YRF gives leading ladies the due...In YRF...leading ladies are the heroes and leading mens are brought to romance them...another one is SB...leading ladies are given a strong role thus we got suman...nisha...preeti...poonam
those days in 90s BW didn't have madhur bhandakar...imitiaz ali..anand L rai...the kahaani director to name some who gives leading ladies equal importance...
In the 90s too...romance was given more importance than complex characters...only Mahesh Bhatt those days in the 90s give leading ladies a powerful role thus we got Dushman...Sangharsh...from his kitty...
sometimes comparisons should be done with era the actress belongs too...kajol and PC had a complete different era and both are good at their work...
kajol can't do a fashion...barfi..BM...aitraaz
PC can't do a DDLJ...KKHH...K3G...
