In 2023, the Indian film industry witnessed outstanding content. However, there has been a shift in the portrayal of women, no longer seen as subordinate.
It’s now incorrect to assume that a woman cannot solely carry a film. In 2023, we saw several actresses steer movies to box office success.
Ada Sharma
Ada’s film ‘The Kerala Story’ earned over 300 crores at the box office, receiving acclaim from critics and audiences alike.
Her performance proved that compelling content is essential to bring out the inner champion, drawing people repeatedly to theaters. The film didn’t rely on a big male lead.
Alia Bhatt
This year has been great for Alia, establishing her as the new ‘queen’ of the industry. Her performance in Karan Johar’s ‘Rocky and Rani’s Love Story’ alongside Ranveer was a box office hit. Alia has also ventured into producing and will collaborate with Dharma Productions for her next project.
Deepika Padukone
2023 was a significant year for Deepika as she delivered not just one but two box office hits alongside Shah Rukh Khan. From Pathan at the beginning of the year to her film at the year-end, she displayed remarkable performances.
Kareena Kapoor
Known as ‘Bebo,’ Kareena longed to work in the thriller/mystery genre and displayed perfection in Sujay Ghosh’s film. She once again proved her prowess in delivering outstanding performances. Her OTT release garnered praise for her captivating portrayal.
Rani Mukerji
Rani returned to the big screen with a heart-touching story and garnered success. Her presence on screen is always delightful, and she consistently enchants audiences with her acting. Her performance in ‘Mrs. Chatterjee vs. Norway’ was applauded by everyone.
All these actresses were praised for their acting performances in various films in 2023.
