Katrina Kaif poster from Thugs of Hindostan is now revealed this Friday. She stars as Suraiyya".Katrina Kaif looks beautiful, sizzling in the poster and with chart buster music playing in the background, we do get a sense that she would certainly be having a couple of blockbuster songs to her credit in the movie. Katrina Kaif makes everyone drool in dance numbers. She is one of the most beautiful actresses around and a big star. She is going to be a huge plus to Thugs of Hindostan even though she might have a limited role and confined mostly to songs.
If we take a look at Katrina Kaif's journey in Bollywood, it has certainly not been an easy one. She started her career in a movie she would most likely to forget and remove from her biography."Boom" , the movie also starring Amitabh Bachchan, Gulshan Grover, Bo Derek also had Katrina Kaif in a tiny role. This has to be one of the creepiest movies ever made in Bollywood. The movie rightly tanked at the box office and Katrina Kaif was forgotten. She then starred in few movies down south like 'Malliswari" which were hits, yet Katrina Kaif did not get due recognition. In Bollywood, she was still fighting for a place. She was a non Hindi speaker and that added to her troubles. She starred in "Race 2" as the secretary to Saif Ali Khan. She was again offered a limited role where mostly she was confined to a couple of scenes and a song. She also starred in the Salman Khan starrer "Maine Pyar Kyun Kiya" which offered her again a limited role.
The turning point in Katrina's career came with "Namaste London" starring Akshay Kumar. The movie was a hit at the box office and her chemistry with Akshay Kumar was widely appreciated. This also started her journey on a string of hits in the same year like "Partner" and "Welcome". Katrina Kaif had arrived. She jumped right into the top league of commercial actresses in Bollywood. Everyone began to take notice of this girl who though had limited acting capacities, could sway the audiences with her looks and dancing abilities.
The list of hits and blockbusters then continued Katrina Kaif. She starred opposite almost all the top actors right from Aamir Khan to Ranbir Kapoor. With Aamir Khan in Dhoom 3, SRK in "Jab Tak Hain Jaan", Salman Khan in "Ek Tha Tiger", Hrithik Roshan in "Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara" , Ranbir Kapoor in "Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani". Dhoom 3 became the highest grossing Bollywood movie till that time. Tiger Zinda Hain was the biggest hit of the year.
Critics have been of the opinion that Katrina Kaif is an average actor and has limited acting skills. But, then who cares. Katrina Kaif never made any fuss about it. She certainly knows her limitations and strengths. She, like other bollywood actresses has never ever tried to do different cinema. She knows that Bollywood still has a large chunk of audience who revere commercial cinema. There is a huge audience, especially in the small towns and single screens who would still love to see a great dance number. There is still a large population in the country who watch a movie for just their favourite actress. Bollywood has seen many actresses in the past who had limited acting skills, however made it with their glamour, looks and dancing abilities. Parveen Babi, Zeenat Aman etc ruled the Box office with these abilities. Katrina is one of the most hard working actresses around. She is brilliant in action scenes. In fact, she is the best in action scenes amongst all the current crop of Bollywood actresses.
Katrina Kaif is certainly a superstar in her own league. She has millions of fans who follow her, adore her and look forward to her movies. The name 'Katrina Kaif' in the title of a movie will certainly add a lot of commercial strength to a movie. Katrina Kaif is looking million dollars on the new poster of Thugs of Hindostan. She seems to have again bagged a Blockbuster hit in her kitty from the looks of it.
