# 4 Rani Mukherjee
The queen of millions of hearts had only two releases this year, though she starred in the big-budget films of the big banners. Mid-year, she starred in the multi-starrer of the Dharma Productions Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna, the biggest grosser in the international market. She’s the second highest paid female actress in Bollywood after Aishwarya that is proved by her selection of banners for work. After the prestigious Dharma Productions of Karan Johar, it was the turn of another big banner movie for Rani Mukherjee. The end of the year release for Rani Mukherjee came in the form of multi-starrer Baabul. The Ravi Chopra directed flick isn’t doing well at the theatres. Nevertheless, Rani was handsomely paid for this outing as well. Rani Mukherjee continues to have a huge fan following right across the globe. Her forthcoming releases include: Tara Ram Pam, London Dreams, and Chudiyan etc.
i’m sorry but your lists are rubbish…
how is Kareena Kapoor the real Queen not in this list and Ash is at the top??? since when did she act properly, Umran Jaan was the biggest flop and Dhoom 2 only did well coz of hrithik and Abi - all she did was overeact
Rani and priety and obviosly kareena needed to be at the top
i’m disappointed!!!!!!!
Ash a no1 for this year? A joke more like!
What Aishwarya Rai is at number one?!?!?? I don’t think that she is talented like the other actress. She is all HYPE! Apart from Dhoom 2 what other films has a hit??? None Umrao Jaan was the most awful film I saw last year (2006). The success of Dhoom2 belongs to Hrithik + Abhishek + Bipasha.
Really disappointed with this list.
i think this year was a year for bollywood hero’s aka hritik, aamir, shahruk and so on the actress just played muses in the top grossers of the year e.g. krish, lage raho, dhoom 2 apart from fanna and kank! ash no 1? saleability, media and big banners played an integral part in her hype, cause even her role as suneheri was panned not only by critics but also lovers of dhoom 2
Here is my vote and I think it is a much better analysis of what the writer did in keeping with the same criterias of judgement!
1) Rani Mukeerjee: Slightly down from last year cause she had her first big flop in 3 years, Babul but is the best actress right now and gave 2 excellent performances in KANK and Babul. She has a huge fan following, especially in the overaseas market.
2) Ashwarya Rai: True Ash may not be a great actress in all her movies but you cannot ignore her. She has tremendous fan following, is the best known bollywood actor in the west, has some hollywood project, is in the news all the time, commands a huge price and has had Dhoom this year. Yeah, crazy kiya re!
3) Kareena Kapoor: Yeah, how could you guys leave her out. She did not have a very lenghy role in Omkaara but her performance was so subdued and in tune with the character she played. And compare that with her hit and miss role in Don, especially the song “yeh mera Dil” and you realise the extreme versatility of the actress. She is one of the most underutilised actress of bollywood and this year she had average grossers like chup chup ke, 36 china town and omkara! Has movies with amir and hritik next year, you guys better watch out for her!
4) Priyanka Chopra: No great acting skills but stared in Krish and Don, has a very good fan following. Now all she needs to do is to show her acting skills while continuing to rock the box office.
5) Kangana Ratnaut: New comer but a great one at that. Fantastic performance in Gangster and Woh Lamhe and both movies were average grossers too.
the media and indian websites are screwed in the head about aishwariya how pathetic.
1)she is not the most beautiful woman in the world, she is fake and plastic she is getting very very old, her eyes are not green but contact lenses someone show her to a REAL doctor/optician who will agree that she is using contact lenses.
2)when giving people the miss world/universe award they were all fixed, all based in india so obviously they wanted an indian to win, therefore witches like sushmita, aishwariya and even lara get miss world/universe awards, tell them to remove all there makeup then see how disgusting they look.
3)aishwariya people think is going to hollywood?? when has a british movie been hollywood??? do you people think she will even set foot in hollywood??? gurindar chadda is a small time british film maker…. her movies are not hollywood but british movies you idiots wake up.
there is a difference in starring in a hollywood movie and a british movie, all her movies HAVE never been HOLLYWOOD movies but BRITISH MOVIES wake up and stop thinking she will go to hollywood.
she is the worse actress indian cinema and even british movies have seen.
she is so over rated its pathetic and if you call her beautiful lol keep dreaming… then kajol without makeup on is the most beautiful woman in the world lol…. how pathetic.
the only true HOLLYWOOD movie and star who is going to HOLLYWOOD is SALMAN KHAN for marigold that is a TRUE hollywood movie with a hollywood director.
the aishwariya movies are with asians produced or directed… and they are not hollywood movies there british movies you illiterate clouts unless you mangies think hollywood is in england lol.
how pathetic, no wonder india and indian movies are in such a mess, if they vote hrithick over rated roshan as best actor for kaho na flop hai, koi hill gaya, and krrashed all shit movies and all over the top acting.
GROW UP BOLLYWOOD AND SMELL THE COFFEEE
and last but not least aishwariya is not getting married to abhishek… if anyone who will marry abhishek it will be RANI mukherjee and remmember you have heard it from me first.
i dont understand what’s reason for which ppl dislike aishwarya.even if rani gives flops like baabul and didn’t have any earth shattering role in KANK which just managed to be a hit it’s okay with them.but a blockbuster like dhoom 2 from ash is overlooked and they only talk about her flops like umrao jaan.infact they find excuses to deride her like “oh! dhoom 2 is hrithik’s hit”, “ash looked like a doll in dhoom 2″ etc. it’s sick. to be fair although it flopped ash’s performance was superb in umrao jaan. and one’s looks shouldn’t be held against their efforts. she’s excessively beautiful but that doesn’t mean a courtesan couldn’t have bees so lovely and only a less beautiful actress could have done that role. coming to dhoom 2 after hrithik it’s she who has the most important role. she’s so sexy in dhoom 2 as well as performed beautifully. what’s more she’s got an even more promising 2007.she’s has the biggest market value. so i don’t understand why she shouldn’t be no 1. someone mentioned kareena kapoor. wow! the only memorable film she had this year was omkara and even in it she didn’t have a big role. it was saif ali khan who walked away with all the accolades.but commercially it was still a flop although critically acclaimed (i don’t know why). chup chup ke and china town? did any1 remeber these films?moreover what more did kareena do in them apart from being a decorative piece? rani mukerji survives purely on the support of khans,yashraj and karan johar.so does preity zinta.
Hey,not here to malign anyone but I think leaving out Kareena Kapoor was unbelievable..she’s simply a great actress..Her act in Omkara was outstanding….She’s a superstar with natural talent.
Priyanka Chopra….hey..she needs some acting lessons
I believe if anyone knows what is acting cant trust on current superstars such as Ash or Kareena, all they are is just glamour and success which they got on others behalf like 36 china town for Kareena and Dhoom 2 for Ash….
All I wanna say is we these 2 actresses should go back to acting schools or take some tips from Rani or Bipasha well Bipasha is still growing but she did some risky projects at her earlier stage of carreer like Raaz….
Priyanka can do great job of seduction but apart from that she needs to act more……
Firstly, there is no doubt Ash is beautiful…but in a fake kind of way. she should stick to modelling. Rani can act and would’ve been much better for Abhi. My personal fav remains Preity Zinta for being natural, talented and honest!
kajol is & will always be the best
