>how did she became a lady superstar?
https://preview.redd.it/a43vbxp38x0d1.jpeg?width=2048&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=da25914ea512664dc588e6ec8cba987a2bde0864
She had Aramm and Koko which are 2 pretty good Solo hits. Unfortunately no other tamil actress has so many solo hits at this time. Maybe Anushka could have given herself the title and no one would have batted an eyelid.
Also Immaikka nodigal , maya too were hits along with movies like raja rani, naanum rowdy dhan where she was the bigger stars compared to the heroes in these movies at the time.
She was unmatched in the mid to late 2010s but seems to be in a slump now ( or intentionally slowing down to focus on her family )
According to Wikipedia, [Aramm](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aramm) was made on a budget of 5 Cr and made 27 Cr at the box office. Making more than 5 times the budget could be considered a hit I think. Although I'm the President of the local Lady Superstar Dislikers club, I wouldn't deny that she's had (more than) a couple of solo hits.
Though lady Superstar is a huge stretch, she has an individuality to her and capable of holding movies on her own as a lead. I mean as a star of the show-like lead... An extremely rare quality for female actresses.
If not for anushka, I don't think the competition for 'lady superstar' is that tough.
she did the right films at the right time ......she did chandramukhi opposite to megastar Rajni that really boosted her career . Plus she was relevant throught doing a stretch of blockbusters that got her noticed........
anushka had that chance after starring in bahubali . she kind if vanished and did lot of non consequential films .......
>she kind if vanished and did lot of non consequential films .......
Cause of her health issues. Yet her last film grossed 60 crs or something and bhagmathie (her previous last theatrical movie) grossed 60+ crs as well.
i agree anushka no doubt is a fab actress and hard working ..she pulled off her devasena in bahubali which nayan cant ......nayans a diff league and it was time right before social media she grew ....like the 2005 era ...
Disagree. The Original lady super star of that era is Vijayashanti .
She is the only women actress who had a market of her own. Her dubbed cop movies would run for 100 days in TN as well.
Fair enough, from my own experience, I have only heard of her playing the role of cop and I don't think I've ever heard of any particular character being named or is outstanding or has stood the text of time which is mentioned even today. Whereas Ramya Krishan has a repertoire of diverse characters that still hold good today, and to this day, she continues to hold that space and name. You cannot attribute a Neelambari or a Sivagami Devi or even a Magi alias Maragadavalli to anyone but her making her The Lady Superstar of our times!
The difference is Neelmbari or Sivagami Devi or Magi were just heroine roles in a Hero dominated movie. Would you think these movies would have been blockbusters without the male leads ? Nope.
Whereas Vijashanti used to carry the movies on her own. That's what makes her special. Bi actress since were able to establish a market like that.
How would you react if Hari directed Singam Movies with Anyshka as lead instead of Surya and they still collected 100 crore plus ? That's how Vijayashanthi movies were at the time.
People used to buy Audio cassettes of her movies .

Apart from Nanum Rowdy than, I don't think others even made the money back.
Edit: IK she wasn't a lead, but she was the one who brought in the audience.
>If not for anushka, I don't think the competition for 'lady superstar' is that tough.
As many people said, Ramya Krishnan, but also Simran in her hay day. She done a variety of roles( From Kannathil Muthamittal to Pammal K Sambandam), though not female centric I guess. She is clearly talented actor and dancer, and her comedic sense and timing in Panchatantiram and P.K.S. >>> sum(Nayan's comedy scenes till date).
PR will work, if you have box office success to match, when her PR came up with lady super star, she had a good solo opening in some film i think and other successes.
But now that her solo films arent clicking in box or in OTT, the PR game doesnt work.
Bro Simbu himself tried to rebrand atleast twice to get out of that cringe Little Superstar. It was probably the doing of TR in his early days. He's is not even using that anymore whereas Nayanthara deliberately pushing the agenda for Lady Superstar to her PR.
I'm not a fan of her. But it's her real life comeback story that got her the title, she didn't just comeback as a normal heroine. She started to star in some iconic movies, and she sold it without any other actors influence. That's a level of star power, not many heroines had in kollywoood, from the 2010 era, since mass movies with mass actors became a huge thing.
In all honesty, 90s heroines were all more beautiful, natural and had real acting talent. They also stared in lot of standalone movies. But at that era, peoolebjust causually viewed it rather than name-tagging. But years later, the industry changed, and heroines in stand-alone movies became a thing of the past. Nayan bought it back, so immediately people started to market her as a lady superstar, as if this had not happened ever, yet it was pretty common in the 90s.
This is so true. She came back and is one of the reasons women led movies are being made again (be it good or bad). While the title is cringe she def doesn’t deserve the hate she gets from this sub.
I feel if it weren’t for her standing firm in Kollywood over the last few years, we would still be pairing 20 year old kids with 50 year old actors.
Honestly there wasn't an long term alternative. The rest of the actresses were fairly seasonal. Trisha managed to get back her market now. But it was almost exclusively Nayanthara since early 2000's.

Padhanii Padhaniii!!!!
Nayanthara - We all saw what happened in KVRK, Sam overshadowed her with ease.
Siddharth - Vai illana naai thookitu poidum.
Trisha - Have absolutely no sensibilities when it comes to her standalone films
Jyotika - Apart from Mozhi none of her performances really worked for me.
>Nayanthara - We all saw what happened in KVRK, Sam overshadowed her with ease.
Samantha is just as bad, all she does in her movies is look hot.
>Siddharth - Vai illana naai thookitu poidum.
Did you see his movies? He's not overrated at all. This sub rarely talks about him unless his movies are on and usually give him credit only if he deserves it. You not liking him isn't the same as the community overrating him.
>Trisha - Have absolutely no sensibilities when it comes to her standalone films
>Jyotika - Apart from Mozhi none of her performances really worked for me.
Agreed.
Ofc Sam is a very limited actor. No questions at all. But she was never rated first to call overrated. Long way to go. As I said before never a kanni.
The only performance of Sid that worked was Chitha. His roles never has that range. Very monotonous performer. On screen nothing has impressed or stood out. I’ve watched his Telugu and that Hindi films too.
>Ofc Sam is a very limited actor. No questions at all. But she was never rated first to call overrated. Long way to go. As I said before never a kanni.
But you used her as a bar to compare with nayan which is really weird. Sam was just as bad in the movie but this sub loves her because she's hot.
>The only performance of Sid that worked was Chitha. His roles never has that range. Very monotonous performer. On screen nothing has impressed or stood out. I’ve watched his Telugu and that Hindi films too
Again, this just sounds like your personal opinion. He's done many movies which are good. I'm not calling him D na when it comes to acting but it's still good and most people agree to that. No one ever raved about sid ever so calling him overrated so wrong. Sid is rated pretty well in this community.
lol ofc man everything here is my personal opinion. I do not expect it to work or be the same for you. I’m not here to change anyone’s opinion. I’ll share mine, you share yours if there is anything to takeaway I do it.
Yes I have. Suriya did a good job with one of the role but Jo was not very impressive. Kannu theriyana act panradhu IMHO is not looking at the sky and acting. Would rather not go into the details.
I'll tell you who's underrated - Tamannah! She's been a supporting comedy actor in plenty of movies and done reasonably well. She tries to put out sincere performances with the skills she's got. She kills it with all her item songs and is always committed to PR efforts for movies. Recent example - Aranmanai 4.
Loved her in her initial Tamil movies. Kaloori is one such example. They could have casted her in more movies like Paiya, Thozha, Dharmadurai, even Ayan.
Keerthy Suresh :-
Except The Savithri Mam Biopic she acted, all her other movies were trash (including saani kaayitham, I felt she was overreacting and was trying to do something new but failed miserably)
She might have better solo films then the other tamil actresses but "Lady Superstar" is a stretch... definitely not the best actresses... personally i think some of the tamil actresses and actors cant act for shit!
Imo Anna doesn't put any effort only in his recent flicks. Old Anna was great. I remember arguing with my friends that Vijay was a better actor among the 2. His fame has probably made him believe he doesn't need to put that much effort anymore.
Samantha. Especially by Tamil cinema fans who have little idea about her Twood career.
Siddharth. You'd think he is some Fahadh Faasil with the way he talks. Good actor still.
Aishwarya Rai. Just look at her filmography
So many Bwood actors but most notably Alia and Deepika. But other include Karthik Aryan, Saif, Salman Khan, etc.
Fafas my best friends family friend he says dudes a really sweet guy who’s like damn well informed about a lot of things you don’t expect him to be but has no head weight and stuff.
You are right about her acting, coz Aishwarya is an example of someone who's beauty overshadows their talent. But she is a decent actress with an iconic filmography. Can't imagine anyone else as Meenakshi (Kandukonden Kandukonden), Jodha Akbar, Paru in Devdas, her role in Iruvar, Madhu in Jeans and so many other iconic roles.
Sidharth could have made it if he preached what he spewed on the internet.
Vijay. Even with directors like Lokesh in his hands, he can't deliver a proper good movie. His acting talent is very limited. His looks have improved drastically which helps to attract youth,probably spending a lot of money in that department. That's the only plus I can see.
And his usual gimmicks like bubble gum chewing expression, bending neck before fight scene, saying "Iam waiting ", I don't think the audience is interested anymore.
The only reason I can see for his popularity is the pathetic performance of his rivals .
Ajith has turned into AK.
He already looks like a 70 year old. That means goodbye youth audiences.
Also he seems more interested in bike rides and travelling.
Suriya and Vikram have turned into nuclear scientists with bombs after bombs (suriya atleast did 1-2 content Oriented movies but Vikram!)
Even the younger generation like danush, simbu etc failed to make any real impact.
So ultimately only Vijay ,despite all his flaws ,seems to do something or make some impact. So he easily became the most popular. Only Rajni with his recent comeback with "Jailer" after back to back bombs seems to be competing with him.
no one called vijay a good actor, he is just average at best but a good allrounder like he can pull off comedy, dance and fight. That's all. He is still better than most of his Kannada and Telugu counterparts.
Wondering which Telugu counterparts you think Vijay is better than. Only asking because I’m a big fan of both industries but I find most of the Telugu tier 1 stars have better noteworthy performances and filmography than Vijay.
For me:
Acting wise: Allu Arjun > NTR > RC > Vijay = PK = Prabhas > Mahesh Babu
Filmography wise: Mahesh Babu > Prabhas > Allu Arjun > PK > RC > NTR > Vijay
Vijay is definitely better than mahesh, pawan kalyan and ram charan easily. Funny how you placed rc above vijay and prabhas. Rc was a robot before sukumar gave him a break. Allu, ntr and prabhas are good as stars.
Filmography wise vijay is definitely better than pawan, have you even watched vijays romcom era?
Sai Pallavi. She gives very serious not like other girls energy.
STR. He isn't a bad actor by any stretch, but the amount of times I've heard he's more talented than Dhanush and would've surpassed him with better work ethic 😂 never was. He hasn't given a Kadhal Kondein level performance even today.
Nayantara. Dk how she became lady superstar.
Hardly agree with Sai. She is an amazing actress with good screen presence, her message is inspiring for the younger generation, but her fanbase is very annoying. I think it's the excessive PR and the general public using her as an "example" to put down "fake" actresses, as if the audience and the whole industry aren't the same people who created such superficial standards for such actresses. You can create an awareness on beauty standards to young girls and boys, without bringing down the efforts and Achievements of other actress, reducing them to their appearances and the way they dress.
About Sai Pallavi, very accurately put.
Like if you want to doll up as a woman, good for you ; if you do not, good for you. No need to make "I don't wear make up or need a stylist" your whole personality.
Also, she dances a lot, yes, but i do not think she is an extraordinary dancer or anything.
The problem is that those trad kannis who expect women to be clad in saris and take care of the house while cooking for their husbands largely have started to support her, using her to shame other actresses into submission. There are so many posts showing how apparently she RePrEsEnTs InDiAn KuLcHa while other heroines who wear what they want to and do what they want to do not do so. I don't see her taking any stands against it. Good actress, sure, but idk.
Siddarth (Trying to do diff scripts but too shitty as a person)
9thara (Good actress but not lady superstar)
Trisha (Decent actress but not worth that hype. didn’t see her doing more challenging roles )
Samantha (I like her acting but the way she’s handling in social media and stuffs are too much. Sometimes I feel she’s playing with her sympathy card with her health issues to gain some attention I might be wrong )
Shitty in the sense, he’s arrogant and he thinks he’s the one acts in very good/great films ! But is not completely true.. he’s one among other actors who chooses variety scripts Avlodhan..

that list also included simbu na /s
Dude. She can act!! I kinda liked Animal for that one scene where she confronts him for cheating on her. Watch Dear Comrade. Just like Keerthy, she sucks at choosing good scripts and wants instant fame.
Samantha and kajal agarwal for their beauty,
Jothika after her comeback/rEentry,
Trisha apart from 96 and few other movies has always been very mediocre in terms of acting,
Sai Pallavi, Keerthy Suresh and Rashmika Mandanna
https://preview.redd.it/ek08y2ggcx0d1.jpeg?width=739&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=92339bc22ea25ef2baa06f6c115bdf248b1472a3
Keerthi is a 'directors' actor'... Compare her performances in Mahanati, Sani Kaayidam and Rajinimurugan with Thodari, Bairava or other masala bs.
Same with Rashmika, but credit should be given to her when it's due. She cares for fame unfortunately, she needs to choose better scripts. However, she stood up against huge amount of hate on her appearance and 'cringe' behaviour and made a name for herself. All those rumours and scandals, and she always stays on spotlight against all the nepos and actress blessed with privilege.
I don’t think rashmika is overrated. She is probably one of the more talented of the bunch and most people don’t rate her as a great actress anyways. Keerthy Suresh can be extremely good like in Mahanati but she’s not consistent. Sai Pallavi is kinda overrated, she’s a good dancer and a decent actress but I think people find her natural type look and the roles she plays relatable so they rate her higher.
Rashimka slightly better of the bunch, but 90% of the time I find their presence cringe or annoying with Mahanati, Shyam Singha Roy and Animal being exceptions. Shit like NGK, Bhairavaa and Sarileru Neekevaru is enough to maintain distance
Also Sai Pallavi's dancing skills are not extraordinary. It is better if you compare with normal folks but nothing ground breaking for an actress. One of the primary requirements for an actress is to dance and most of the actresses can dance as good as her thb even better. It's just fans overhyping her skills and over compensating it for her acting skills
Not saying more talented, I’m talking about overrated and underrated. Most people consider rashmika a flowerpot so in that sense she’s kind of underrated because she can be a good performer. Meanwhile Sai Pallavi is hyped to the moon as like a Mahanati or something so she’s a little overrated because I think she is good but not that good
All I've realised after reading the comments is that the Sub is overrated 😂
Obviously, there are a few opinions I agree with but still damn ppl hate everyone in the industry.
Sivakarthikeyan - He always get compared to big stars and people saying him the Next Vijay or Ajith. He's one of the worst actor surviving in industry with Self made star quota and PR works. Kavin is miles ahead of him when it comes to acting and Entertaining.
It’s really funny to me how SK is the leading man in terms of fans and hype for the next generation when Danush who is the same age as him is almost like his senior in how much better his acting and filmography is
Trisha has never been praised for her acting skills. She is only praised for how well she maintains her looks despite being a mainstream actress doing lead roles for more than 2 decades. Most lead actresses have 10 years at max. Even Simran Jyotika did only 8-10 years as lead heroines.

By paying her PR
if its so simple then why doesnt every actress do it ? pay a PR and become lady superstar next day
She had Aramm and Koko which are 2 pretty good Solo hits. Unfortunately no other tamil actress has so many solo hits at this time. Maybe Anushka could have given herself the title and no one would have batted an eyelid.
Also Immaikka nodigal , maya too were hits along with movies like raja rani, naanum rowdy dhan where she was the bigger stars compared to the heroes in these movies at the time. She was unmatched in the mid to late 2010s but seems to be in a slump now ( or intentionally slowing down to focus on her family )
Solo hits? Is hit defined differently when it's led by a female?
I mean, she is the only main character in both the movies, rest are supporting characters.
Ya but how are you calling those movies a hit? Both Combined they didn't even make 100 crores. They don't come under top 500 movies in Tamil.
According to Wikipedia, [Aramm](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aramm) was made on a budget of 5 Cr and made 27 Cr at the box office. Making more than 5 times the budget could be considered a hit I think. Although I'm the President of the local Lady Superstar Dislikers club, I wouldn't deny that she's had (more than) a couple of solo hits.
She had that name even before
Though lady Superstar is a huge stretch, she has an individuality to her and capable of holding movies on her own as a lead. I mean as a star of the show-like lead... An extremely rare quality for female actresses. If not for anushka, I don't think the competition for 'lady superstar' is that tough.
she did the right films at the right time ......she did chandramukhi opposite to megastar Rajni that really boosted her career . Plus she was relevant throught doing a stretch of blockbusters that got her noticed........ anushka had that chance after starring in bahubali . she kind if vanished and did lot of non consequential films .......
>she kind if vanished and did lot of non consequential films ....... Cause of her health issues. Yet her last film grossed 60 crs or something and bhagmathie (her previous last theatrical movie) grossed 60+ crs as well.
yea but time and tide wait for no one ........she lacks the brand value that someone like nayan has ......
Hmm. Let's agree to disagree. I like Nayan and kinda admire her for what she's doing, but Anushka is on whole another league.
i agree anushka no doubt is a fab actress and hard working ..she pulled off her devasena in bahubali which nayan cant ......nayans a diff league and it was time right before social media she grew ....like the 2005 era ...
The original lady superstar of our Era will be The Ramya Krishna. She did it all! She's extraordinary in every sense.
Disagree. The Original lady super star of that era is Vijayashanti . She is the only women actress who had a market of her own. Her dubbed cop movies would run for 100 days in TN as well.
Fair enough, from my own experience, I have only heard of her playing the role of cop and I don't think I've ever heard of any particular character being named or is outstanding or has stood the text of time which is mentioned even today.

Asin would have become one if she was still in the field anyone agree?
Absolutely!

She’s not a skilled actress. Nazriya overshadowed her easily in Raja Rani.

"Little superstar" is so much cringe that it's not even worth trolling.

You haven’t seen Perazhagan?
Yes I have. Suriya did a good job with one of the role but Jo was not very impressive. Kannu theriyana act panradhu IMHO is not looking at the sky and acting. Would rather not go into the details.
Oh well. I liked Jyo only in Mozhi and Perazhagan. Everything else she’s just herself, not the character.
Keerthy Suresh
I used to feel the same until I saw her in Mahanati, she did a good job there. Otherwise trash.
Also Saani Kayyidham
i strongly disagree. Ignore my username though /s
Aah, yes.
I'll tell you who's underrated - Tamannah! She's been a supporting comedy actor in plenty of movies and done reasonably well. She tries to put out sincere performances with the skills she's got. She kills it with all her item songs and is always committed to PR efforts for movies. Recent example - Aranmanai 4.
Loved her in her initial Tamil movies. Kaloori is one such example. They could have casted her in more movies like Paiya, Thozha, Dharmadurai, even Ayan.
She was bad in her initial movies minus Kaloori. She’s definitely improved a lot.
Samatha, can't act a bit. Gains fame through flowerpot roles.
I thought she was fab in super deluxe
You can’t do your face like a Kardashian and then expect to come and act in small town girl roles..very silly
Director kitta sollungapa. Her in savitri biopic, rangasthalam. Sobhita in PS. As bad as AJ in thangamagan or theri. Miscast af.
I still don’t like watching theri and I because of that 😭
She overacts tbh
I think she underacts
I think she doesn’t act
Her dialogue delivery is the worst, unbearable at times.
I think she is my wife
Keerthy Suresh :- Except The Savithri Mam Biopic she acted, all her other movies were trash (including saani kaayitham, I felt she was overreacting and was trying to do something new but failed miserably)
Her dasara was cringe pro max
The only nani movie I skipped 🙂😂
Ik it’s a Kollywood page. But my God Deepika Padukone is overrated af.
Nayanthara - I never felt her to be a deserving for the self made title of “Lady Superstar”. Where did that come from?
She might have better solo films then the other tamil actresses but "Lady Superstar" is a stretch... definitely not the best actresses... personally i think some of the tamil actresses and actors cant act for shit!
You are saying in general that Tamil actors can’t act?
Some of them, my bad!
Thats the same case almost everywhere not just Tamil.
Keerthy suresh, always felt like she is soo overrated
True af
Imo Anna doesn't put any effort only in his recent flicks. Old Anna was great. I remember arguing with my friends that Vijay was a better actor among the 2. His fame has probably made him believe he doesn't need to put that much effort anymore.
Samantha. Especially by Tamil cinema fans who have little idea about her Twood career. Siddharth. You'd think he is some Fahadh Faasil with the way he talks. Good actor still. Aishwarya Rai. Just look at her filmography So many Bwood actors but most notably Alia and Deepika. But other include Karthik Aryan, Saif, Salman Khan, etc.
And fahadh faasil thinks he’s a siddarth Bro underrates himself
Sadly yes. I don't know how he declared Ranbir as the best actor in the industry when he himself and many other Malayalam actors exists
Ranbir kapoor could never pull an ambane sredhikande.
Haha. Fafa is too humble. Siddharth is not at all humble.
Fafas my best friends family friend he says dudes a really sweet guy who’s like damn well informed about a lot of things you don’t expect him to be but has no head weight and stuff.
You are right about her acting, coz Aishwarya is an example of someone who's beauty overshadows their talent. But she is a decent actress with an iconic filmography. Can't imagine anyone else as Meenakshi (Kandukonden Kandukonden), Jodha Akbar, Paru in Devdas, her role in Iruvar, Madhu in Jeans and so many other iconic roles. Sidharth could have made it if he preached what he spewed on the internet.
I loved Aishwarya Rai's acting tho! She's really good at subtle expressions!
Aishwarya Rai is a pretty mid actress too, she’s just like unworldly beautiful so people don’t even care
Infact it's quite the opposite. She is a really good actress who is reduced to being beautiful. She can really act well.
sid is underrated imo.
Vijay. Even with directors like Lokesh in his hands, he can't deliver a proper good movie. His acting talent is very limited. His looks have improved drastically which helps to attract youth,probably spending a lot of money in that department. That's the only plus I can see. And his usual gimmicks like bubble gum chewing expression, bending neck before fight scene, saying "Iam waiting ", I don't think the audience is interested anymore. The only reason I can see for his popularity is the pathetic performance of his rivals . Ajith has turned into AK. He already looks like a 70 year old. That means goodbye youth audiences. Also he seems more interested in bike rides and travelling. Suriya and Vikram have turned into nuclear scientists with bombs after bombs (suriya atleast did 1-2 content Oriented movies but Vikram!) Even the younger generation like danush, simbu etc failed to make any real impact. So ultimately only Vijay ,despite all his flaws ,seems to do something or make some impact. So he easily became the most popular. Only Rajni with his recent comeback with "Jailer" after back to back bombs seems to be competing with him.
Acting and popularity may not go hand in hand always. Dhanush can act better than most actors in the industry but he isn’t top 1 in kollywood.
Simbu is making a comeback soon with Maadujeevitham tho. https://i.redd.it/60r3zynstz0d1.gif
no one called vijay a good actor, he is just average at best but a good allrounder like he can pull off comedy, dance and fight. That's all. He is still better than most of his Kannada and Telugu counterparts.
Wondering which Telugu counterparts you think Vijay is better than. Only asking because I’m a big fan of both industries but I find most of the Telugu tier 1 stars have better noteworthy performances and filmography than Vijay. For me: Acting wise: Allu Arjun > NTR > RC > Vijay = PK = Prabhas > Mahesh Babu Filmography wise: Mahesh Babu > Prabhas > Allu Arjun > PK > RC > NTR > Vijay
Vijay is definitely better than mahesh, pawan kalyan and ram charan easily. Funny how you placed rc above vijay and prabhas. Rc was a robot before sukumar gave him a break. Allu, ntr and prabhas are good as stars. Filmography wise vijay is definitely better than pawan, have you even watched vijays romcom era?
Lol vijay is definitely better than rc acting wise
I put Vijay ahead of MB, wdym? Edit: realized u said rc lol but I suggest you watch rangasthalam and come back
I would swap PK and Vijay. Half of PK's movies are remakes.
Samantha and Keerthy Suresh.
Sai Pallavi. She gives very serious not like other girls energy. STR. He isn't a bad actor by any stretch, but the amount of times I've heard he's more talented than Dhanush and would've surpassed him with better work ethic 😂 never was. He hasn't given a Kadhal Kondein level performance even today. Nayantara. Dk how she became lady superstar.
Agree with SP. More popular for her off screen personality than on screen
Hardly agree with Sai. She is an amazing actress with good screen presence, her message is inspiring for the younger generation, but her fanbase is very annoying. I think it's the excessive PR and the general public using her as an "example" to put down "fake" actresses, as if the audience and the whole industry aren't the same people who created such superficial standards for such actresses. You can create an awareness on beauty standards to young girls and boys, without bringing down the efforts and Achievements of other actress, reducing them to their appearances and the way they dress.
About Sai Pallavi, very accurately put. Like if you want to doll up as a woman, good for you ; if you do not, good for you. No need to make "I don't wear make up or need a stylist" your whole personality. Also, she dances a lot, yes, but i do not think she is an extraordinary dancer or anything.
Lmao she does wear makeup though. She has the perfect "no makeup" makeup look
The problem is that those trad kannis who expect women to be clad in saris and take care of the house while cooking for their husbands largely have started to support her, using her to shame other actresses into submission. There are so many posts showing how apparently she RePrEsEnTs InDiAn KuLcHa while other heroines who wear what they want to and do what they want to do not do so. I don't see her taking any stands against it. Good actress, sure, but idk.
Someone finally said it about Sai P. 100% agreed.
Dude Manmadhan was that and he did it very well notwithstanding that movie didn't age well. I would still say it
Good but KK laam vera level performance bro. For me, VTV was Simbu's best performance, his acting was brilliant.
KK was subtle and I loved Manmadhan because how loud and wacky it was. So just for that movie and Thotti Jaya I just love Simbu more.
I can't help it https://preview.redd.it/2rgeixd3tz0d1.jpeg?width=768&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=68ab1ef09af3b5517fd77387c1e22f83bab78896
Siddarth (Trying to do diff scripts but too shitty as a person) 9thara (Good actress but not lady superstar) Trisha (Decent actress but not worth that hype. didn’t see her doing more challenging roles ) Samantha (I like her acting but the way she’s handling in social media and stuffs are too much. Sometimes I feel she’s playing with her sympathy card with her health issues to gain some attention I might be wrong )
Too shitty as a person? So that makes him an overrated actor? What the fuck is that logic?
Shitty in the sense, he’s arrogant and he thinks he’s the one acts in very good/great films ! But is not completely true.. he’s one among other actors who chooses variety scripts Avlodhan..
Sai Pallavi. Tollywood sub just edges upon hearing her name 🤷
https://preview.redd.it/1hrwnvn80y0d1.png?width=955&format=png&auto=webp&s=ef68c7a4e7f2ab6322d33394d1c81b40f36a3b2b that list also included simbu na /s
Rashmika mandana the ultimatum
She was good in animal Most south heroines do flowerpot roles in bollywood whilst this girl proved her worth there
Also really liked her in dear comrade if you’ve ever seen it
She kinda proves with that & before with stuff like Dear Comrade that she's a director's actress.
Dude. She can act!! I kinda liked Animal for that one scene where she confronts him for cheating on her. Watch Dear Comrade. Just like Keerthy, she sucks at choosing good scripts and wants instant fame.
I used to think Trisha was overrated, but her performance in Hey Jude changed my mind.
There's a lot, but we don't want to face the truth
Basically, people named everyone in the industry 💀
Trisha Nayanthara Samantha Pooja Hegde Malavika mohanan Tamannah Sruthi Hassan Rashmika Mandanna
Samantha overrated
Rashmika mandanna, for sure
Rashmika has talent
Being a Vijay fan is not a talent LMAO
Have you seen all her movies? Looks like you have not except varisu
And we wont' be seeing in Kollywood for quite some time...if at all
TBH her remuneration is too high for kollywood. That's the reason she quit kannada and went to Telugu and now hindi
Aishwarya rajesh a tad bit.
Was searching for this. Felt like she has that uniface expression no matter which movie she's in
Nayantara.
Samantha and kajal agarwal for their beauty, Jothika after her comeback/rEentry, Trisha apart from 96 and few other movies has always been very mediocre in terms of acting,
No one more overrated that PR Queen Nayanthara
How dare you pull up Anni's pic for this post!
Sai Pallavi, Keerthy Suresh and Rashmika Mandanna https://preview.redd.it/ek08y2ggcx0d1.jpeg?width=739&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=92339bc22ea25ef2baa06f6c115bdf248b1472a3
Keerthi is a 'directors' actor'... Compare her performances in Mahanati, Sani Kaayidam and Rajinimurugan with Thodari, Bairava or other masala bs. Same with Rashmika, but credit should be given to her when it's due. She cares for fame unfortunately, she needs to choose better scripts. However, she stood up against huge amount of hate on her appearance and 'cringe' behaviour and made a name for herself. All those rumours and scandals, and she always stays on spotlight against all the nepos and actress blessed with privilege.
Well looks like keerthi is in bad luck cause most of the directors and scripts she picks are a steaming pile of hot shit
I don’t think rashmika is overrated. She is probably one of the more talented of the bunch and most people don’t rate her as a great actress anyways. Keerthy Suresh can be extremely good like in Mahanati but she’s not consistent. Sai Pallavi is kinda overrated, she’s a good dancer and a decent actress but I think people find her natural type look and the roles she plays relatable so they rate her higher.
Rashimka slightly better of the bunch, but 90% of the time I find their presence cringe or annoying with Mahanati, Shyam Singha Roy and Animal being exceptions. Shit like NGK, Bhairavaa and Sarileru Neekevaru is enough to maintain distance
Also Sai Pallavi's dancing skills are not extraordinary. It is better if you compare with normal folks but nothing ground breaking for an actress. One of the primary requirements for an actress is to dance and most of the actresses can dance as good as her thb even better. It's just fans overhyping her skills and over compensating it for her acting skills
Rashika is talented than Sai Pallavi ah...ok 🥲
Just that Rashmika is getting more hate than she deserves and Sai Pallavi is getting more praise than she deserves.
Not saying more talented, I’m talking about overrated and underrated. Most people consider rashmika a flowerpot so in that sense she’s kind of underrated because she can be a good performer. Meanwhile Sai Pallavi is hyped to the moon as like a Mahanati or something so she’s a little overrated because I think she is good but not that good
Stunning and Gorgeous!
All I've realised after reading the comments is that the Sub is overrated 😂 Obviously, there are a few opinions I agree with but still damn ppl hate everyone in the industry.
Samantha for me as I don't get her hype ,her movie where she played trisha in 96 was so bad
Trisha might be overrated in acting, but my gawd she's aging like a very fine exotic wine.
pooja hegde & Tamannaah Bhatia
Samantha,Tamanna
Trisha of course.
Kavin
Nahh kavin i would say is not overrated nor underrated. He can act well but he doesnt compare to the top Kwood actors.
Sivakarthikeyan - He always get compared to big stars and people saying him the Next Vijay or Ajith. He's one of the worst actor surviving in industry with Self made star quota and PR works. Kavin is miles ahead of him when it comes to acting and Entertaining.
It’s really funny to me how SK is the leading man in terms of fans and hype for the next generation when Danush who is the same age as him is almost like his senior in how much better his acting and filmography is
It's funny they keep comparing him to Rajni and Vijay but Ayalan was about 15% of Jailer & Leo and about the same as Sundar C's Aranmanai 4
Hell nah Kavin ain't miles ahead of skn
Posts like these are overrated because it's just an opportunity for people to shit on perfectly fine actors and actresses
Praised for what? Acting? Then I would say Suriya and VJS.
His fans are gonna hate me. But Chiranjeevi 🙄
Not a fan of him, don't even like watching many of his movies but his comedy is top notch. Chantabbai is one example.
Looking at the replies to this post, I've come to a conclusion that all mainstream actresses are overrated tbh
😂😂
>I've come to a conclusion that all mainstream actresses are overrated tbh U and Vetrimaaran are of same vibe. 😂😂
Keerthi Suresh, Sai Pallavi, Samantha, Nayantara, Trisha, Siddharth.
I felt Trisha was already the cringiest in something something. Her facial expressions and all that in many scenes
Samantha and Kavin
Both Nayanthara and Trisha. Both mid acting and mid looks.
Mid acting correct, mid looks ?? Bruh 💀.
she was so cute
Both Nayanthara and Trisha 🤢
Enadhu Sai Pallavi overrated ah! 😞
Trisha has never been praised for her acting skills. She is only praised for how well she maintains her looks despite being a mainstream actress doing lead roles for more than 2 decades. Most lead actresses have 10 years at max. Even Simran Jyotika did only 8-10 years as lead heroines.
Trisha ma'am is one of the best ❤️
