Loved her in Bareilly Ki Barfi and Mimi. She picks good scripts but sometimes her performances feel a bit repetitive. Hope Cocktail 2 shows something new! Also, the comparison with Deepika's Veronica is too soon IMO. Let her be Dimpy yaar.
I'm not a Bollywood fan usually, but Kriti seems like a genuine artist. That National Award was well-deserved. She brings a natural charm to her roles, unlike some over-the-top actors these days. The 'gol gappas' story is adorable.
Heropanti was a fun debut, but she has outshone Tiger in terms of career growth. From 'Raabta' to 'Bhediya', she's done a mix of everything. But I wish she would do more challenging roles like a period drama or a dark thriller. Cocktail 2 sounds promising though.
Honestly, I don't get the hype around Bollywood actresses celebrating years in the industry. But Kriti seems like a hard worker. The 'gol gappas' first shot is cute—very relatable for anyone who loves street food. Wishing her more success!
12 years, and she's still relevant—that's an achievement in Bollywood. Her film choices have been smart, but I feel she needs a solo blockbuster hit. Cocktail 2 could be that turning point. Shahid and Rashmika will bring their A-game too. Fingers crossed! 🤞
