kareena overacted???

reply

No.
You are definitely NOT the only one :)
She always does that. Why do these people get to ACT, when they CAN'T.


I love James Marsden wiff a burning passion

reply

She does sometimes.

Just not in this one.

But to say she can't act is really over doing it, lol. I can't even take that serious.

...people should type the WHOLE subject so I don't have to waste time clicking on messages I don't want to read? Probably Not. Had I known what this post was about, I wouldn't have clicked it. THE SUBJECT LINE SERVES A PURPOSE.

That's her usual problem actually but it worked in this movie because it suited the character.

reply

Ehhhh, Overact? Dont u think the script deserved this kinda acting?

See at first Shahid's character is totally that of a depressed one, so it is apt that the opposite is completely his opposite (from whom he goes on to learn how to live yada yada)

Besides Kareena has done some serious and different roles (in Jab We Met itself) in Chameli, Asoka, etc.
But she was brainless in Tashan...

I personally like the acting if its got a little craziness or eccentricity...
Though in no way comparing the two, on your lines (not saying u'll say this), even Johnny Depp's acting can be called overacting... coz i felt Kareena's acting was mindblowing like some of Depp's

i think her overacting was good in this film - it worked!

reply

Kareena Kapoor has a range of about 3 expressions

1. Pouty spoilt brat
2. Very happy (eye wide open) and smiling like a idiot
3. Upset (eyes lowered) and silent

She has been in films for long enough to not have an excuse for such over-acting. Shahid was good in this film, understated even when he was playing a happier character at the end of the film. Kareena on the other hand was playing the same character she plays in every film with her 3 facial expressions- which is probably her normal personality and therefore not acting at all.

I appreciate that there is a large portion of Bollywood actresses that cannot act very well but at least most of them accept that and are not given awards!!! Its terrible that Kareena is lead to believe by some critcs that she is a serious actress!

reply

She definitely did overact, but it suited her better in this movie than it did in the past.

reply

No because the movie required for her to be over the top... So to say that she overacted ur actually complimenting her because that is the kind of character Geet is in Jab We Met! Which kareena did justice to the role, can't imagine any other actress who would have done this role better than her!

reply

Completely agree with you. Some roles are meant to be a bit OTT like Geet in JWM.Her character was the soul of the movie and had Kareena not been so flamboyant and animated, I would not have enjoyed JWM as much. Kareena was quite different in Omkara, Dev and Chameli.

No, I don't think she overacted. Kajol in K3G as a Punjabi girl over-acted.
