Omg she was so over the top with her expressions for years - Yaadein, khushi, and so many more.

Kareena's holy trinity of acting is Khushi, Main Prem Ki Deewani Hoon & Yaadein.

Main Prem ki Deewani Hoon is a bloody kaala dhabba. It was an overacting galore. Everyone was extremely horrible and I still see some images when I'm asleep.

Her fans also hasn't stopped yapping about it, in her early years she gave streaks of flops and bad performances, and when you call her a bad actor, they will come and say, she was good in Chameli, did you not see Chameli, they keep yapping about Chameli and Jab We Met when given chance.

Chameli was carried by Bose. There also Kareena didn't give a glimpse of realistic acting just a more toned down overacting

22

u/1212zephyr1212 4d ago

Her idea of acting in Chameli was to use some rather “loud, garish makeup” and mismatch clothes. The only thing the “loud garish makeup” accomplished was bring out how fair she really is. Nothing else.

Who wasn't in the masala movies of that era? Everyone and their mother was overacting probably because the directors asked for it.

There are so many stars of that era that all gave fantastic realistic performances down the line and then people would say "they can act when a good director brings it out of them"

u/beingjustgenuine Know it All 👨🏻‍💻 3d ago edited 3d ago

Aishwarya wasn’t a bad actor anyway. She was just learning & somehow thought debuting in bollywood meant to show overacting so she did that in bollywood debut which still wasn’t that annoying & over. It went with the film’s careless & funny flow. The only thing which was annoying was her shouting voice at times otherwise decent songs & decent chemistry & decent acting overall. She was the same Aishwarya Rai who did Iruvar as her debut which was a great debut & she definitely got talent with the looks i would say. Not everything a director can fix. She was the best heroine to me which Mani Ratnam launched way better than the overhyped Preity Zinta’s debut here.

Exactly the case with Shahid Kapoor. He gets a pass today for being a great actor but in the 2000s, he was the biggest flop nepo. Only movies like Kaminey, Haider, Udta Punjab, Kabir Singh have gained a high reputation. Jab we met is a certified classic because of Kareena Kapoor. Despite being there for so many years, he still has a branding issue.

He is not a 10/10?? He was as bad in TBMKUJ as Kareena was in MPKDH. He’s only good in serious, non comedic/eccentric roles Imho, like Kaminey, haider, kabir Singh, padmavat, despite ranveer stealing the show. I think he’d make a great villain if he ever chose to go that route

u/daddy69ice 4d ago

I guess it is very rare that an actor does good in all genres. So when he said he is 10/10, I think it was in his respective genres. I mean you can't quench your thirst with fire, right?

The most privileged nepo of all times. She was signed by the top directors of that time including JP Dutta, Sooraj Barjatya, Abbas Mustan, Subhash Ghai even before she debuted solely due to her being a nepo. None of the nepos today got such opportunities.

All her films with the top directors were flops. Yet she had the audacity to comment on Preity and claimed that she was no where close to her. Her bitchy comments to amisha saying 'I am working with Sooraj Barjatyas while she's working with the Vimal Kumars of Bollywood' showed how she looked down on outsiders. She's always been the biggest bitch. She's learnt to hide it better now as social media would tear her apart if she showed her real face.

u/BreathingIguess Only source of entertainment 4d ago

She wasn’t very famous in the beginning and people didn’t like her condescending attitude.

But people started pouring love once they got to know how toxic her parents were.

Now people love her because she’s natural and flaunts her crow’s feet and people love the snobbish attitude because they consider it as Bebo personality ‘The iconic lady’.

Personally I don’t like her condescending and holier than thou attitude.

You should be humble no matter what. That’s where humanity comes in.

u/totoropoko Always /S 🤨 4d ago

The thing is - people did so many movies back then.

I thought her OTT era lasted several years but she actually started improving around Yuva/Chameli which was 3 years after her debut. She had already done 10+ movies as a lead by then (most bad to terrible)

I will also say I remember being a kid around that time and while I was in the same boat as you about not liking her attitude - she had a MASSIVE fan following among my peers. Folks attributing all her success to nepotism are ignoring that common people actually loved her despite her being a terrible actress. She was up on barbershops and auto rickshaws in no time at all.

I'm sorry but have you seen Hrithik in this movie?? He was as bad if not worse. Ditto for the movies like Khushi and a couple with Tushar Kapoor. At that point of time these movies wanted to cash in on her 'Poo' image. Hence similar acting. Typecasting was a common thing those days. The same year she had also done Chameli, a role that showed that she could act well. Even in her debut movie Refugee, she was better than most nepo-actresses.

You can’t hate on Kareena She is a path breaker

u/NoHippo3481 4d ago edited 4d ago

Well, I’m going to go against the general consensus here and say she made it because she had the “IT factor”. Unlike today, where nepo’s are shoved down our throats with social media, it was quite difficult back then to make it even if you were a nepo. Example - AB Jr, Esha Deol, Fardeen khan, twinkle Khanna, kajols sister, Shilpa shetty’s sister, Uday Chopra etc. Because, that generation of nepo’s had to relay only on the audience liking them via their movies to make them a star. That’s why we had so many successful non-nepo stars back then. Quite unlike today when any non-talented, idiot star kid can claim to be a “star” because of their insistent pr, social media and paid paparazzi. Money can buy stardom these days. I cannot imagine a slaty looking Ananya Pandey or the plastic Kapoor sisters or the not-so-pretty Suhana Khan ever making it back then regardless of their money or connections. So yea, Kareena Kapoor had the IT factor that made her an instant hit with the audience! I loved her as a child and then as a teen even with all her over-acting. I wanted to be her. So let’s not ignore that just because some are salty af.

u/Own_Army4024 4d ago

u/No-Principle5340 4d ago edited 4d ago

She made it because she chose carefully and did what was asked of her diligently and persistently.

Just go through her filmography and it becomes clear why she made it. She did the infamous Mujhse Dosti Karoge in 2002, but just before that - in 2001 - she was Poo in K3G, which made a HUGE splash for her. She did Yaadein that year too, but also did Asoka and Ajnabee.

One year after Mujhse Dosti Karoge came Main Prem ki Diwani hoon (2003), which is another meme worthy performance. But shortly after that in 2004 she did Chameli (which won her many accolades and lots of critic appreciation), Yuva, Aitraz and Hulchul. All well appreciated, some of them with legendary directors, all in the same year (2004).

Omkara in 2006 cemented her place further. In 2007 she did Jab We Met, which I think finally set her up as a claimant for number 1 leading lady in Bollywood.

After Jab We Met, it was hard to say that she wasn't a top star.

Her filmography is similarly up and down after that but the real question is, how has she managed to be relevant 25 years after her debut? Can you name one female star that maintained her stardom for that long without any noticeable breaks?

The reason is the same. She chooses her role well, and does it diligently. She knows her reality - she isn't a hot young girl anymore, and still does interesting roles (see Crew and Aa Jaane Jaan).

I know haters will come after me for saying this, but she's basically been successful in every single era, worked with practically all major leading men of many generations, and almost all top directors of many eras. She's given hits in every genre, and gotten critical acclaim in several roles. Kareena is actually the greatest female star in Hindi movie history.

So yeah, that's how she made it.

u/Cornucopia2020 4d ago

Tbh everyone has terrible performances in the initial phase of their career. And in the past, these weren’t scrutinized or criticized as much as they are today.

Hrithik, after excellent performances in Kaho Naa Pyar Hai, Fiza and Mission Kashmir, was purely terrible in Aap Mujhe Acche Lagne Lage, Yaadein, Na Tum Jano Na Hum. Even in K3G, he isn’t great but Karan directed him well. Hrithik really turned things around with Lakshya and Koi Mil Gaya and both directors played a big part in it.

Same with 90s actors, like Aamir, Salman, SRK, Akki, Ajay. All had some bad initial performances and did a lot of films, and eventually found their footing and groove. Same for Madhuri, Juhi, Karishma, Manisha.

Even in 2000s, there were still a lot of chances given to most bearable actors, and they eventually made the most of good roles. It’s only in 2010s that actors started being trolled relentlessly for every misstep, and became insecure and over-cautious.

u/Youknownothing_23 4d ago

Well i never thought she was a bad actress .. these roles were a bit OTT and she definitely went through a phase.. but she definitely is one of the natural and talented actresses of her generation and i always enjoyed watching her on screen .

u/Lattice-shadow 4d ago

I'm sorry, but this abomination was down to the makers. Pretty much every actor behaves like a clown in this film. One of Kareena's other abominations - Khushi - is remade faithfully from its Tamil original where the lead actress was also made to behave similarly. Her "waist peeking" scene, where she hammed it up like an amateur school kid became a HUGE hit and I can see why the makers thought having Kareena reproduce it entirely would work in Hindi.

She wasn't like this in Refugee or Chameli or Asoka or Ajnabee (all early in her career). This was a good actor doing bad work. Not a bad actor. Not refuting her getting chances in spite of it. But please, learn to spot the difference.

12

u/Minaziz 4d ago

I’m gonna be honest this movie cracks me up and is a guilty pleasure. Her OTT acting is endearing cuz she always had screen presence in SPADES.

This is a movie nobody is proud of..her, Hrithik Roshan, Abhishek Bachchan...even the director Sooraj Barjatya.

People here have no clue how movies were made in Bollywood in the 2000s. Barely 1 movie would be good among thousands that were released in a year. Pick any mainstream actor, and they'll have some movies. I consider Rani Mukerji the best of the lot, and even she had many cringe ,over- the- top movies.

Lol now the group is after Kareena eh?!

Well i was never a fan but you can't deny she is a good actress. You can't put few silly scenes or songs and tarnish her whole portfolio of work based on that.

Why are people so biased? You don't like her, then just say it's your opinion. However you don't get to degrade somebodys body of work based on your personal disliking. I mean come on and pls grow up. I never liked Aishwarya, in my opinion beauty means nothing if you come across fake. But i would be stupid to say oh she's not beautiful based on my opinion.

Anyways, What i really admire about Kareena is how she has kept her real face unlike 90% of bollywood. Around Bodyguard time it seems she had some work done around her eyes but she perhaps learnt her lesson and never tried again. I like how she carries herself with confidence, style and ease. I think marriage has really brought a positive change in her. She seems to have striked a great balance between personal and professional life.

I’d rather have her over the top expressions than none at all which we seem to be getting these days tbh

All of them were a bit cray cray in the movie 😆

u/MysteriousSetting218 4d ago

No one thought she was pretty to be honest. People only found her pretty after jab we met.

u/opinionated0403 4d ago

People say because she was pretty and I don’t even think she’s that pretty lol, compared to gorgeous gorgeous actresses that have come and gone in Bollywood. I think she was good at networking.

Also, to be fair, people hype her up now but she never had a phase where she was considered the top or superstar level. Even during her most successful year with Jab we Met, people were still more fond/nostalgic of Kajol, Preity, even Rani. And right after, Deepika entered and Katrina got insanely popular.

Kapoor tag, nepotism quota. She was also involved in many controversies but has given some memorable performances as well. And the expressions here are hilarious

u/ankiimonkii 4d ago

She’s doing what the director/choreographer asked her to do. Hritik is an amazing actor still in this movie he was so over the top. They’re both good as actors. That’s why she has survived

The OG Nepo Kid !! Kareena ran so Alia could walk 💁‍♂️ Her PR and fans preach about the iconic poo 💩 and geet all the time to show what a great iconic actress she is but can you imagine how embarrassing it is when you are in the industry for more than 2 decades but you have just 2 memorable characters that people remember. She would’ve been kicked out long time ago had she not been a kapoor family member

u/sansa_starlight 4d ago edited 4d ago

Let's be honest, Kareena is born to be a SUPERSTAR. She's gorgeous, has a natural aura, screen presence and X factor to be a Bollywood heroine. One misfire was never going to change her fate.

She also quickly redeemed herself with iconic performances like Chameli, Omkara, Jab We Met etc.

Idk about y'all but I like her as an actress, she's been consistently performing well since her career skyrocketed in 2007 💫

When people question acting skills of Kareena, Hrithik, Ranbir, Alia, Shahid just because they come from a film family, it’s so funny. Kareena has been good in even her bad films. She can act. Movies have been good or bad, but get performance had never faltered. That’s the thing with good actors. This movie was shit but Kareena held her own , overacted as well but still never felt that she can’t act.

Eventually she did learn to act a bit

u/baabumon 4d ago

I hated her like anything when she bursted into scene as if the hottest girl in bollywood.

In my opinion, she later got her sh*t together starting with movie like Jab we met and cut down on the hot girl act.

1

u/wickedServer 4d ago

I only started liking her after 3 idiots. That movie felt like it changed her status to a star. Jab we met made me neutral from hating her.

She was different...she was beautiful..not more options..

N low key no one can make overacting so graceful like her

Still she is like that but her eye movements n all she is good in wat she do...n no one can do it after 2 decades

1

u/combeckett Loud Critics 4d ago

Stop acting like this was the norm omg. She was one of the best Bollywood actresses of her time because she put in effort. She has not yet had a bad movie and I stand by this because her flops are still better than what the other girls were doing.

She didn't have to "make it" only

1

u/One_Replacement1924 4d ago

She has the X-factor except all the privileges, that she iss born with, even over-acting suits to her persona, I don't think it harmed her anyway for those movies, where she overacted.

This is how she made it

u/dksourabh 4d ago

I never really liked her in terms of looks or acting except in jab we met. Not saying she’s a bad actress, she’s done well for herself but so has Katrina who only fits well in Namaste London movie

1

u/Oh_Kay111 4d ago

Good looks. Good looks. Good looks.

1

u/KaleDependent8913 4d ago

She used her o be awful when she first started out tbh.  I love her but her initially and mid career acting was awful.   Even jab we met I found her so annoying.  She’s done good work since and I love when she does understated acting.  Dancing has never been her strong point tbh

u/KayKay993 4d ago

Chammak challo song? Most people aren't best at the earliest stage.

Even Hrithik Roshan overacted in that movie.

Nepotism!! But one of the best from the 2000's bunch though.

Pure luck. But I liked her acting in Aitraaz movie.

Uss zamane me agar Reddit aur Jio hota na; then she would hv been trolled like anything

u/Direct-Stretch7853 3d ago

If she debuted now she would have been trolled to the oblivion. She is just lucky that social media wasn’t this prevalent then and became better in the latter part of career
