Continuing our two-monthly feature, here is the updated list of Indicine’s Top 5 Female Superstars.
- This would be based on the box office outcome of their last five movies
- Only lead roles would be considered. Cameos, special appearances and guest appearances won’t be taken under consideration
- Dated movies won’t be taken under consideration
- In case of two superstars having equal number of winning and losing affairs, overall box office collections of their five movies would be taken into account
- Only domestic box office performance is being taken into account
- An exception may be considered if a superstar may not meet above criteria but ends up delivering bigger successes
W – Winner (If a film has been an Average, Above Average, Semi-Hit, Hit, Super hit, Blockbuster, All Time Blockbuster)
L – Loser (If a film has been a Disaster, Flop, Below Average)
Top 5 Female Movie Stars

Deepika Padukone – (Chennai Express, Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, Race 2, Cocktail, Desi Boyz) – WWWWW [June position: #4]
With five back to back successes, the challenge now is for her to hold on to this position.
![Katrina Kaif No 2 Actress](http://www.indicine.com/img/2013/09/Katrina-Kaif-No-2-Actress.jpg)
Katrina Kaif – (Jab Tak Hai Jaan, Ek Tha Tiger, Mere Brother Ki Dulhan, Zindagi Naa Milegi Dobara, Tees Maar Khan) – WWWWW [June position: #1]
She has good chances of reclaiming this spot, what with her ‘Dhoom 3’ is all set to be a huge money spinner in the offering.
![Kareena Kapoor No 3](http://www.indicine.com/img/2013/09/Kareena-Kapoor-No-3.jpg)
Kareena Kapoor ** – (Satyagraha, Talaash, Heroine, Agent Vinod, Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu) – LWWLW [June position: #2]
‘Gori Tere Pyaar Mein’ later this year could well do the trick.
![Vidya Balan No 4 Actress](http://www.indicine.com/img/2013/09/Vidya-Balan-No-4-Actress.jpg)
Vidya Balan – (Ghanchakkar, Kahaani, The Dirty Picture, No One Killed Jessica, Ishqiya) – LWWWW [June position: #3]
She would soon be seen in ‘Shaadi Ke Side Effects’ and rest assured, her place in Top-5 would stay on to be intact.
![Priyanka Chopra No 5](http://www.indicine.com/img/2013/09/Priyanka-Chopra-No-5.jpg)
Priyanka Chopra – (Zanjeer, Barfi!, Teri Meri Kahaani, Agneepath, Don 2) – LWLWW [June position: #6]
Rest assured, Priyanka would only improve on this further with ‘Krrish 3’ promising to be as huge as it gets.
The ones who can break into Top-5 in months to come:
- Sonakshi Sinha – (Once Upon Ay Time In Mumbaai Dobaara, Lootera, Dabangg 2, Son of Sardaar, Joker) – LLWWL [Forthcoming films: Rambo Rajkumar, Bullett Raja, ‘Thuppakki’ remake’]
- Asin – (Khiladi 786, Bol Bachchan, Housefull 2, Ready, London Dreams) – WWWWL [Forthcoming films: No releases this year]
- Anushka Sharma – (Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola, Jab Tak Hai Jaan, Ladies v/s Ricky Behl, Patiala House, Band Baaja Baraat) – LWWLW [Forthcoming films: No releases this year]
- Kangna Ranaut – (Shootout at Wadala, Tezz, Miley Naa Miley Hum, Rascals, Double Dhamaal) – WLLLW [Forthcoming films: Krrish 3, Queen]
** Kareena is above Vidya as an *exception* since business generated by her films has been much bigger
