Yami Gautam steals the show in Bala

Just watched Bala and while the movie didn't make much of an impact for me, Yami Gautam is such a revelation! She has nailed the part of a vain, over-the-top, ditzy girl with such aplomb. It is an endearing performance, for sure! I have never seen her flesh out her character with such relish. One of the underrated actresses, for sure!

I hope she gets good characters/roles after this movie. She is so much better than some A-list actresses like Shraddha, Sonam and Katrina, and looks gorgeous too! I find both her and Ileana very underrated. They deserve to make it big.

Please comment/share your views.

Just a reminder: Both Yami and Ileana won for best debut actress in 2012. But have disappointed ever since, it is only now that Yami has performed to her full potential in Bala.

Yami is really good. She does mostly small roles, but leaves an impact. Hopefully, she gets big roles.

There is something special in her. Evenin small roles she always leaves an impact maybe I am saying this because I am her blind fan

Yami is never going to happen and everyone needs to accept it. Every few months there’s a post about her and how great she is. It’s not going to happen. No star quality, personality or xfactor. Also no one is talking about her or her performance

I feel she's a good actress but short of the levels of Kalki, Konkona to be considered great without the mainstream 'x-factor'.
