The phenomenal rise of Alia Bhatt

In less than 5 years since her debut, Alia Bhatt has established herself as not only a popular star but also one of the best actresses in the industry today. A film like ‘Badrinath Ki Dulhania’ has come at the right time for her career too.

Almost all her previous films were targeted mostly at the urban section of the audience, but ‘Badrinath Ki Dulhania’ is her first film that should extend her fan-base into smaller cities and towns of the country.

The biggest career failure for Alia is the ‘Shaandaar’ debacle. That aside, when her films haven’t been outright hits at the box office – Highway and Udta Punjab – they have won her critical acclaim.

With age on her side (Alia turns 24 tomorrow), we could be looking at a star who has the potential to dominate the industry in the next few years. A rare combination of beauty and acting talent!

  • soty was hit since so long as per u and so was highway. y hv u suddenly changed their verdicts

  • The biggest career failure for Alia is the ‘Shaandaar’ debacle….

    Burnol moment for Shahid fans

    Alia could be the next top female star.

  • varun and alia both have true capability to become top stars superstar
    btw shaandar failure full credit goes only to shahid kapoor

  • Top 5 Actress in India(Fan Following):
    1. Alia Bhatt
    2. Anushka Sharma
    3. Deepika Padukone
    4. Kareena Kapoor
    5. Priyanka Chopra

  • udta punjav was declared abv avg and highway a hit by u..but here both have been declared average. ..!! & soty is ‘hit’ in ur previous article on varun but semi hit here. .!! haha

    plz correct them

  • varun alia sidharth
    all 3 debut there career in soty
    but only two were sucess not because of they are star kids but because of talent
    sidharth needs to take acting class along with harshvardhan kapoor

  • Yeah She is the best. Cute beautiful and talented

    She should now do big films as well
    Heard that her rival Shradda is doing thugs of hindustaan.Shradda got a big one
    I have also heard that in Remos next with Bhai there will be a role of a young girl too….Not as a romance interest but a prime role
    Hope Alia signs it.

  • How is student of the year having different verdicts in your back to back posts between Alia and Varun .
    Kindly rectify . Not expected from you @indicine

  • Alia and Anushka dominate Bollywood. Hope Deepika will come back this year too. Three queens of indian cinema ! It’s very clever that they do mass films as well (Sultan, BKD) to have a global fan base.

  • Alia rises because of Karan Johar he bought awards and all are hit and average because of story not because of Alia !!!! Alia is karans pet !!!!! No Karan no alia

  • If Shandaar had no certain Kapoor, it would have been a hit. A big ‘shout out’ to all Shahid Kapoor’s fans. Ha ha ha

  • alia & anushka dominate the industry ?? & someone makes alia no 1 – anushka no 2!!!!! hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ok ow i cal leave bollywood in peace

  • Nepotism in rare occasions proven wrong by this two duo…
    Lee babes is here to stay!! Just like her costar Varun.

  • Deepika’s absence in bollywood and Kareena’s pregnancy made things fall in place for Aalia. No doubt about her talent but she is very lucky to get things at right time. Deepika actually hit axe on her legs by doing xxx, if Padmavati is anything less than BRM then she wont be number one for long days as Anushka is surging ahead.

  • But the only thing which is not in her side is the beauty she lacks you have to admit she looks ugly but I really like her work specially in udta punjab she is a talented actress and we should admit she will be a lady superstar in coming years.

  • LOL. Only 2 failures and both with shahid. He didnt even spare alia. LOL. Now i an worried about deepika, ranveer and SLB’s career. Any guess why??

  • I dont agree at all. Deepika is still top numero uno actress. Anushka doesnt have even half as many fans as deepika. Come on stop fooling yourself. Deepika is no.1 followed by anushka. And shraddha is also neck to neck for third stop and after thugs she has bright chances to come in to top 2.

  • Alia – Talented – Yes, Superstar material – No
    Shraddha – Talented – Yes, Superstar material – Oh yeah !!!

    @ indicine, no matter how much you guys promote Alia, the fact of the matter remains, that Shraddha Kapoor is by far the most popular than Alia Bhatt in the country right now.

    Shraddha also doesn’t have had a backup like Dharma productions, that have produced 90% of all films of Alia Bhatt…………She did all the work herself.

    Shraddha’s paren’t had no influence on her getting or choice of films, while everyone knows how much hold Mahesh Bhatt has over the industry and how Kjo is behind the big success of Alia.

    Every alternate day in the DNA Mumbai edition (entertainment section) we have half-page article on something or the other about Alia…….now that’s because of the love for Alia, but the money she and her team is spending to be in the limelight for every silly matters……..she needs it……

    Shraddha has more flops comparatively because her movie is not backed and promoted well by big production houses and hence the risk factor associated with her films…..

    According to me, a flop only strengthens and tests your mettle……in that way Shraddha will shine in future because she will learn from mistakes and failure better and with popularity on her side, she looks all set to rule the industry in the future…..and not Alia.
