![]() ![]() As fate turns out, they fall for each other. ‘I Hate Love Storys’ offers nothing new on the platter except for a fresh pairing which garnered some positive reviews, with a girl who loves romances and a guy who hates them. ![]() To call Kapoor’s role of Simran as a typecast one won’t be wrong for this movie. ‘Prem Ratan Dhan Payo’ stands out only for the face values and the pageantry, if nothing else. With Salman Khan donning the dual-role cap and Sonam playing a high-born princess, this “treasure” though was well cherished worldwide, turned out to be a critical disaster. Songs form an important part of the movie and so does all the flamboyance. The story is the usual Rajshri Productions’ extravagance, topped with the presence of the likes of Sonam Kapoor, Salman Khan, Neil Nitin Mukesh, Swara Bhaskar et al. Probably one of the main reasons for the unprecedented success of PRDP was the titular song and choreography, wherein Sonam Kapoor has slain it through her swag. The end is easily obvious, and so is the fate of the movie and how it had fared at the box office. Spanning a period of ten years, the seemingly eternal love story of Harry and Aayat takes you for a slow yet intriguing ride. The story revolves around two people who fall for each other and had to separate given the turmoil within the country. This Pankaj Kapoor’s directorial was in the buzz back in the day because of two reasons – one, the portrayal of Indian Air Force and its assets on screen after a really long time, and two, Sonam Kapoor as Aayat, who could be seen donning the melancholic garb amidst moving places and having an “on and off” affair with Harry (Shahid Kapoor). Though ‘Dolly Ki Doli’ couldn’t rake many positive reviews or box office collections, it sure as hell garnered accolades for Sonam as an actress. ‘Dolly Ki Doli’ has Sonam Kapoor in all of her flavours, and given the storyline follows the lead of many mass entertainers, it has an entertaining and a jolly-good feel. While the former features a female con artist who dupes people of their money by marrying men and eloping with their money on the following night, the latter features a male con artist who dupes women of their wealth before becoming a victim of their revenge but with a small twist. Perhaps ‘Dolly Ki Doli’ and ‘Ladies vs Ricky Bahl (2011)’ have a very thin line in between them. With this list, we bring to you her top movies so far, and perhaps this could be one of the tributes to her work which is on the rise as ever, after the colossal hits like ‘Neerja’, ‘Padman’ et al. Nevertheless, within only a span of a decade and across all the sixteen movies in her kitty as an actor, she has evolved with her path-breaking roles across her cinematic journey. The National Award winning actress has been so far more than versatile and ‘Khoobsoorat’ in her roles, despite a bunch of her movies falling flat at the box office because of a lacklustre screenplay or a bleak storyline. ![]()
