Actor Kareena Kapoor virtually has a cult following her legendary portrayal of Poo, from Karan Johar’s Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham. Twenty-two years later, her dialogues from the movie are a part of our lexicon as a result of she’s simply one of many few actors who could make additional look that memorable, sufficient for a personality to have her personal fanbase. She has a aptitude for the loud and bratty wealthy characters, and even unintentionally, she managed to convey some hilarity to these roles (Remember Khushi, Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoon?). No matter how badly the movie flopped, Kareena was at all times remembered.
Kareena did variations of her iconic characters Poo and Geet from Jab We Met, one other one in every of her memorable hits. Nevertheless, Bebo at all times ensured that she wouldn’t simply be remembered as Geet or Poo clones. For each Tina, Poo and Geet, there can be one other movie that might see her experiment with a totally totally different character — starting from a vengeful intercourse employee in Talaash, to an empathetic physician in Kyun Ki. The flamboyance and extra-ness would strip away and we’d be handled to a different side of Kareena’s performing vary.
Here’s wanting on the instances when Kareena steered away from being slotted right into a class and determined to point out a special facet to herself…
Talaash (2012)
Kareena performed the position of a vengeful intercourse employee on this movie, starring Aamir Khan and Rani Mukerji. Quiet and with lethal calm, she gave the chills within the climax of the movie, the place it was revealed that she was really a ghost, who had been trying to apprehending the person who had tossed her out on the highway with none regard.
Refugee (2000)
Much earlier than she turned Poo, Kareena debuted with Refugee, additionally starring Abhishek Bachchan, an emotional, poignant story a few Muslim man who helps Indian refugees from India and Pakistan by Rann of Kutch. Kareena performed the position of Nazneen, Refugee’s lover. It was a powerful and impactful debut, as Kareena portrayed the contained anguish and uncooked worry of the character with a lot panache.
Omkara (2006)
A contemporary retelling of Shakespeare’s Hamlet based mostly within the Indian heartland, Kareena performed the position of swish and tragic Dolly, spouse to Ajay Devgn’s hot-headed Omkara. In this story of blood and revenge, there are not any winners, and Kareena’s stinging portrayal of the Indian Desdemona nonetheless stays poignant, even 14 years later.
Kyun Ki (2005)
Kyun Ki, starring Kareena Kapoor and Salman Khan is one in every of her most heart-wrenching movies. There’s no glad ending on this painful story of affection and loss. Salman performs the position of a person affected by psychological dysfunction, and Kareena is a physician who’s drawn to his deeply tragic previous. She is in opposition to her father’s oppressive strategies when treating psychological sufferers, and believes in love and compassion. However, the movie gravitates to much more morbid ending that followers might think about, and Kareena’s ultimate scene is especially painful to look at after she realises that she has misplaced her affected person without end.
Chameli
Another one in every of Kareena’s uncommon roles, the place she performed the position of sharp intercourse employee. The occasions of the story unfold in only one night time, after Chameli runs into Rahul Bose’s morose Aman Kapoor, who continues to be grieving his spouse’s dying. A friendship grows between them and his outlook on life modifications after his affiliation along with her.
Chameli
Kareena once more performed a physician on this movie. Even as the main target was on Alia Bhatt right here, Kareena introduced a lot nuance to her quiet and understated efficiency as a physician attempting to undo some wrongs in a drug-addled society.
