A recent discussion on Reddit has debated whether or not Janhvi Kapoor should be considered as the “female Arjun Kapoor” of Bollywood. There were people who criticized her as an actor and forum writers described her line delivery as poor and at times cringe-inducing. Her performance as Param Sundari was presented as one of her examples, recalling that if there were a scale of cringy variety, lines she commented on in that movie would still be horribly iconic.
Whereas, Arjun Kapoor has shown to perform admirably in a memorable performance scale climbing with honor of Ishaqzaade, 2 States, and even Sandeeep and Pinky Faraar. Even memorable song sequences become his contribution towards a recognizable public’s mindfield. However, Reddit users noted Janhvi Kapoor thus far in her film career lacked correctly performed, memorable impact to iconify her career as memorable as Arjun Kapoor’s.
The looks category of bereavement returned too. Some reasonable people on Reddit added that Janhvi Kapoor would not have been renown star of Bollywood if not solely due to the fact that she is good-looking. A few users evoked the identical transition to Siddharth Malhotra, relying on beauty versus character performance in the film career of the respective actor.
Commenters also noted that the movies Janhvi acts in often have male co-actors whose performances are as lackluster and the scripts themselves rarely lend to impressive acting. They make the point that this is hindering Janhvi’s true potential as an actor on screen – a challenge that many young actors encounter in early career situations.
While this perspective might not be universally agreed to, it is representative of growing discussions taking place on Reddit regarding talent vs. star appeal in Bollywood. The users note that there is more than just visual appeal for an actor to become credible and that an actor must resonate in performance through dialogue and character to stand out.
Is it the right time to call her female Arjun Kapoor?
