Kareena Kapoor – the successful actress of recent times.




Kareena Kapoor, the fourth generation of the Kapoor family, had to face a lot of competition for establishing herself in bollywood. Firstly, her grandfather Raj Kapoor, was not alive, when she started her career, otherwise films made under the RK Banner had helped the actors of the Kapoor family to make a successful beginning in the film arena. For example, Rishi Kapoor got a classic break in Bobby, Rajeev Kapoor had made a successful beginning in Ram Teri Ganga Maili, both directed and produced by Raj Kapoor.

Kareena Kapoor had started her career with the film Refugee. It involved a story relating to cross-border romantic affair. The story presented by JP Dutta, depicted the strange impact of partition of a country into two separate dominions and the consequences of the border. The climatic conditions, crops, topography of India and Pakistan are almost the same, even the language spoken in both the countries are similar. Only the line of control had created a manmade barrier which brings hatred instead of love.


Kareena Kapoor got of scope of performing opposite Abhishek Bacchan, and there were powerful performances of Sunil Shetty, Jackie Shroff, Anupam Kher, etc, which added to the success of the film. In addition to that, the composition of music by Anu Malik and the songs with good lyrics complimented the good story-telling of the film. The notable songs include “mere humsafar’, “panchi nadiya”, etc.

In the other films like Mujhe Kuch Kehna Hai, Kareena Kapoor had played the role of a girl who was doing research on Indian culture. Her affair with Tushar Kapoor and over all performance in the film was well appreciated by the film lovers. She had done well in crime thrillers like Ajnabee opposite Bobby Deol, where Akshay Kumar and Bipasha Basu had acted in a negative role.


During the last few years Kareena Kapoor had acted in experimental roles, like the role of a tawaif in Chameli. She had adopted the choreographic skills and other requirements of the successful actresses of the present times to sustain in bollywood. Her performances opposite Shahid Kapoor in a number of films were liked by the audience. She had also performed in historical films like Ashoka opposite Sharukh Khan.

Critics point out that these days it is difficult to get good script, but if Kareena Kapoor gets a decent script she can act well. Let us hope that she will do well in the films that are going to released in future.
