Okay, I did so...and honestly, looking at the type of movies she did a f t e r her first movie (the first of a string of remakes - this time the very good and very successful Marathi movie Sairat), it isn't astonishing to me. The subject of Dhadak really suited a wider audience then all the following movies and I wonder who was behind those decisions/recommendations of the movie roles. Janhvi? Karan? Boney?
It reminds me of Alia who - after a rather flat Dharma 'teen movie' got the no-Dharma production of Highway that centered more aound her than Randeep Hooda, but she got the chance to work with a skilled director and a skilled actor. Then Dharma made another light movie with her which gave her success in rom-com genre which Dharma repeated with the Varun-Alia pairing. Dharma established Alia in another way in people's mind than Janhvi.
Contrary to Alia, Janhvi's second movie (Dharma) tried to do something that Sajid Nadiadwala as producer did with Alia: giving the newcomer t h e prominent role in the film. However - other than Highway had - with an unknown director and a not-so-exciting story (a biopic!). In addition, Covid had struck the country and the movie got only a Netflix release.
I really think that Janhvi's career being quite unsuccessful boxoffice-wise is also a consequence of wrong role/movie decisions. Another factor is the overhyped nepotism debate which got fuel - with Kangana's allegedly straight-forward 'help' - seven years ago.
So, cute Alia started in 2012 and (allegedly 'plastic') Janhvi in 2018 (just before Covid changed viewer's movie watching habits).
