Women who mattered at the box office in 2014
They are still not paid on
par with their male counterparts.However, women in Bollywood are
certainly making their individual clout felt at the box office. This
year has been particularly spectacular for Kangana Ranaut, who carried
Vikas Bahl's Queen entirely on her dainty shoulders. As the
ditched-at-the-altar youngster from New Delhi who meta
morphoses into an independent woman, after her decision to go on a
solo-honeymoon, Kangana shone brightly . She had displayed her acting
chops in Fashion and Tanu Weds Manu, both of which were hits. However,
with Queen, the accolades didn't stop pouring in for the longest time.
What's more, the cash registers rang at an altogether different decibel
level.
Next in line is Priyanka Chopra, who in her decadelong career, has shown tremendous gumption when it comes to choosing subjects.While Fashion gave her a display window for her histrionics, Omung Kumar's Mary Kom was easily the cherry on the cake. In this biopic based on India's most famous woman pugilist, MC Mary Kom, PC transcended physical attributes and made the North-Eastern boxer come alive on the big screen. The film found critical and commercial acclaim, and put Priyanka right where she belongs -on top of her game.
Farah Khan, known for her strong commercial film sense, may have got flak for the script of her Diwali release Happy New Year .However, the filmmaker, who has been a steady force at the box office, having enjoyed successes like Main Hoon Na and Om Shanti Om in the past, added to her brand equity when HNY crossed the `150-cr mark. She is the only woman director in the Big Club and that's no mean feat.Like they say , you can love her or hate her, but you cannot be indifferent to her.
