that is the reason why I always say Madhuri was never a great actor to begin with.
Massively popular, possibly the biggest female star ever if we take only peak, but as an actor. Nah.
An above average actor with few good actual acting performances here and there, a image of being hot and sweet at same time, while also being a great seductive dancer with a beautiful smile.

She has the television actress expressions whenever she has to express sadness and pain.
And I can't take that seriously.

Madhuri is a wonderful dancer. Think "ke sara sara for instance. She easily matched prabhu deva. But there is only so much one can do with a terrible song and choreography.

They should have stuck to shankar, ehsaan, loy if they wanted semi classical numbers. And I repeat, this film is more subhash ghai than Bhansali.

The conspiracy theory of Kjo doing everything to make Madhuri dull😆.. For god sake its his late Dads ambitious project.. And he is spending crores for it Why would he compromise with his project for Alias sake.. If anything Kjo loves tge most apart from himself, its money.
And ya i never got the hype around Madhuris dancing.. She is a very good dancer but nothing extraordinary..But her expressions during dance are bang on, no doubt regarding that.. Its just that Madhuri was lucky that all her dance songs are evergreen.. Its the audio that deserves more appreciation along with her expressions more than her dancing. But madhuri gets all credit for those songs when i feel its the music director who deserves the maximum credit.

Here Pritam, Saroj and madhuri did an aweful job. Choreography even looked comical at some-part and Madhuris performance was poor.
Earlier i was salty about Remo choreographing Alias song.. I was like why cant they make sarojh choreograph both songs.. But now i feel they should have hired a better choreographer for both songs.

Couldn't think of a post which gets it more wrong. Madhuri's power has always resided in the variety of expressions. Her dance numbers are like concentrations of those expressions. There's nothing mediocre about her as either an actor or a dancer. Even when the song is subpar (like here), even if the voice doesn't fit (and it hurts me to say that because Shreya's voice is beautiful - it just doesn't fit this song), even if the camera work is trashy, Madhuri still delivers. She's absolutely on point in that fragment of the song we've seen.

Sad for MD. She accepted this role without thinking how Papa Beti pair is on the spree to make everyone look bad except Beti..!!
Worst Song ever. No proper beats , lyrics. I could sense how MD is performing just for sake of doing and finishing the dance.

Only thing that somehow saves the song is Shreya Ghoshal and MD's expressions.

@OT: Bad song with awful, awkward steps. Shreya's voice doesn't suit Madhuri. Should have got someone like Madhushree or Rekha Bhardwaj to sing for her. Madhuri looks especially bad in those closeups though. It isn't the fact that she's older. Something weird that I can't seem to put my finger on.


Its her styling and camera work that made Madhuri looks bad in Kalank. Definitely she has aged 17 years from Devdas but MD was looking great in TD which released few days back.

Kalank is totally caricaturish and circus in the name of period film. Sets are looking fantasy world. None of the actors are looking good except ARK and Sonakshi. Songs are underwhelming.

So far kalank didn't look like KJo's dream project. Its look like a dish where needed ingredients are put together in pan, heated, and garnished without simmering, salting, and putting masala.

😆 Madhuri is epitome of what you call the typical filmy actress. And that is why she always failed to give an acting performance which will be talked for ages and seen as an acting master class. She is your typical commercial Bollywood filmy actress whose flaws are hidden under the delusional and imaginative ''adah'', ''nazakat'', ''grace'' bullshit people put every time to put the older actresses in pedestal as their actual acting is mostly above average to good.
Her expression and emoting is your typical television actress OTT acting, which is all outer supported than an internalize truth. Anyways it is not my interest to change your opinion, or put my opinion through your throat, so it is okay for both of us to think different way and have our own opinions. You enjoy yourself thinking whatever you think about Madhuri, I will think, what feel about Madhuri.

There's nothing like "typical filmy" or "typical television" actress - these are meaningless terms and distinctions, used to serve agendas. And the idea that people use "delusional" terms such as adah merely to extol older actresses is simply preposterous. Was Madhuri old when she charmed people with her adah in "Bada Dukh Dina"? LMAO Whatever. Don't bother, indeed.
