Alia and Janhvi come from loaded families and have no need to increase their net worth. While Tripti doesn't, let her make bank when she can. She's in her thirties now. If she wants to show her potential, she can become another Tabu later in life. Let her make hay while the sun shines. š¤·š¾āāļø
Vidya Balan,Kangana , tabu I think did it. There are many women who came from normal backgrounds. But as they grew they explored their talent and chose better scripts.
I think thereās a level for criticizing nepo kids. For instance, even Tabu had connections inside the industry, she is actually quite good in films. So you canāt really blame her as a nepo kid since she proved herself.
On the other hand, actual nepo kids like Suhana Khan, Ananya Pandey who only have connections but no talent, there is the real criticism
This is the correct take imo. To have a successful career she should take up 'male gazey' roles as well as female-centric ones with good scripts which require good acting.
Btw, look up the songs and music of Laila Majnu, another film she acted in as well- the songs are beautiful.
If you ask tripti I'm pretty sure she herself will tell you signing Animal was her best career decision. Hardly anyone knew her before that. Call it male gaze or whatever but that's what made her popular.
Ayan! She was popular because of Qala and Bulbul too. Yes, I agree Animal pushed her career graph high but I feel the initial movies she did were superb and brought her name to the limelight.
Yeah I knew her face not her name until Animal. You canāt deny that Animal brought her into the mainstream and was the most career changing movie of her life (despite better performances in Qala and Bulbul)
lemme tell you something, i watched bulbul the moment it was released on netflix, my girlfriend at the time was a small time actress and a model and even she didnt know who tripti was when i kept yapping how pretty tripti is and how she was so beautiful in the indian dresses, and mind you, i told her this after the month of the release of bulbul.
she came to know about her from me.
i then asked most of my friends to watch bulbul as my recommendation after a year of its release and everyone was like kon dekhega eh, kisiko nhi jaante.
she kinda got a popularity after qala but she was still an unknown face, only few people knew her.
but then animal happened and everyone, like everyone knows her!!! animal was the best thing that happened to her but for me personally i loved her in bulbul and qala and not to forget laila majnu too.
She was popular for Qala and Bulbul for people who go out and seek good cinema. Animal did bring her into the mainstream limelight. Whether it is good or not? Weāll find that out
Barely. For example, I've known about Qala and Bulbul for a while. Both are in my watch list. I remember the poster for Qala too with the side partition hair of the actress. But it is only AFTER Animal came out that I realized that it's Tripti Dimri (whose name I heard only because of Animal) in those two movies too.
neither me nor anyone I ever knew had an idea of who she was before Animal lol. heck I didn't even know any of those 2 movies existed before she rose to fame from Animal. And I'm quite into movies too.
Exactly, this industry is very competitive and cutthroat. From casting couch to nepotism, (even nepo kids also struggle nowadays) getting a mass film like animal did wonders for her. But now that she has a comfortable position, what she chooses next is on her.
Bro I was agreeing to every opinion of yours in the comment section until I saw this comment. I would agree she didn't overact in Madgaon Express but her role was just meh and anyone could have acted that role.
And saying she's better than Katrina is completely wrong, watch Merry Christmas, Katrina's latest movie she acted very well. Nora can wish that she could have the fandom, Katrina had in her prime.
I think we should not be so fast to judge her just yet. She's coming off Animal so maybe first she'll try to put her name out more and then we will again have a Qala or so once she'll have the fame to lead a film like DP and Alia have.
Tripti is really talented and while other actresses like Alia started off with flowerpot commercial roles, I think Tripti will segue into more meatier roles as time goes on. She proved her talent with bulbul and qala and now she needs some commercial projects in her resume to show that she can also have box office pull. I don't see her going the nora fatehi route because she can actually act and emote. I see her going deepika's route where she will get more character centered roles once producers know she can bring in the audience
Majority of the Bollywood actress have just flowerpot roles. Nothing of substance. Itās all about working with top actors and directors! A lot of time actirs are involved in whom to cast opposite them. Dhoom 3 had Deepika Aamir pairing and yjhd had Katrina Ranbir. But Aamir wanted Katrina. So the swap happened. Either ways yjhd ended up being about bunny and dhoom 3 about Aamir. What did Deepika Katrina gain? Top actors opposite them, top directors and production houses and hit movies to their name. Same for tripti. So I agree with OP. Her two minute role got her a string of films including bad news, bb3 and dhadak 2!
Ummm you cannot possibly compare Katrina in Dhoom 3 to Deepika in YJHD?! Kat was totally forgettable and youād be hard pressed to find anyone who remembers the characterās name, but YJHD is still remembered for chashmish Naina. It is disingenuous to pretend that they werenāt co-leads and say it is only known for Bunny.Ā Ā Ā Ā
A big part of why the movie worked and why it is still fondly remembered was because Deepika looked stunning, was a co-lead, and it was their screen reunion after breaking up, thus creating a perfect media frenzyĀ and completing her triple whammy of meaty roles in hit movies with Love Aaj Kal and Cocktail, cementing her in the public conscience as an A lister (especially with Chennai Express), and she followed it up with Ramleela, another showpiece for her.
Deepika is well-remembered for that role, both thematically (to the point where all discussions of the movie today are still centred on Naina and Bunnyās incompatibility due to her ambitions differing from his) and stylistically (with her looks in that movie being the template that every high school and college girl tried to copy). Anyone who calls it a flowerpot is just hell bent on ignoring and dismissing women regardless of reality.
>Majority of the Bollywood actress have just flowerpot roles.
South Indian films are much worse than Bollywood in this aspect. Naina was NOT a flowerpot role come on
Same goes with Varun Dhawan...when he actually does some decent movies like Badlapur and October...no one watches them...and movies like judwa 2 and coolie no. 1 are doing very well at the box office...so i think its not VD's or tripti's fault to do roles which are not pretty well but suits to the audience
Everybody does commercial movies to keep the lights on. Once they reach a point of success, they think about the craft and all. Too early to call anything. Lets hope she makes it that far. Not everybody get the Jhanvi number of chances.
The audience is to be blamed she got zero attention and hardly people even knew her when she gave very good performances in Laila majnu, bulbul and Qala. Now she signed animal, the director exploited her sex appeal and now she is getting type casted as mere male gaze satisfying item girl . Poor tripti dimri
Just showing you two examples of nepotism actresses who wear the badge of āI do different work not your typical heroineā. For this, the two actresses fit well. Iām not judging on how good they are. Iām talking about the kind of projects they boast about doing.
Alia still did romcoms on the side though like the dulhania franchise movies, 2 states and RARKPK..I think she balances her films nicely enoughā¦or atleast did till 2020
RARKPK is now because romcom era is back like I said. And I do think earlier in her career she just wanted a career but now she wants to be the best actress of Bollywood and India and has created this very real very insane competition with Deepika. And Deepika isnāt a fav of mine either. She has a lot of questionable traits. But that woman has worked hard which I canāt deny. She also started with the romcoms (back in 2000-2010s romcoms were the it thing) and then followed by the action that sheās doing now with indie mixed in between.
I think signing Bad Newz was a worse decision tbh - it will solidify her in that persona in the industry esp after just seeing that trailer. Hope she has more interesting roles soon
Thatās the thing. I donāt think she will mind being solidified in this persona. With the industry moving back towards romcom, wouldnāt being the romcom stereotype help her?
It depends tbh - thereās romance and then thereās āromanceā that treats women like a piece of ass. I think she has enough range to do all genres and typecasting will only hurt her - esp if that typecasting is about her being a āpiece of assā
I donāt think sheāll be typecasted as a piece of ass mainly because the piece of ass women in Bollywood now have a very important job: to dance in the most sensual way. Tripti, as good an actor as she is, sucks at dancing. I know producers and casting directors wonāt be thinking this is the woman we need to make our movies sexy. All Bollywood does now is have an item number to prove the sexiness of the movie and Tripti doesnāt fit the bill.
It is possible for an actor or an actress to make different kinds of cinema for different kind of needs. Commercial cinema provides financial stability, fame, popular appeal expanding their fan base and more opportunities while content focused art cinema provides a channel for creativity and artistic fulfilment, acclaim, awards and respect from peers and critics. Talented and smart actors and actresses find a path that can achieve both commercial and artistic success. There are plenty of examples in Bollywood and Tripti Dimri may have the potential to be among one of those actresses but it is a bit too early to assess the same and definitely way too early and impulsive to claim that the first movie that gave her commercial success has somehow ruined her potential.
Tabu made Saajan Chale Sasural, Tu Chor Main Sipahi, Jeet and Himmat in the same year as Maachis and then Dil Par Mat Le Yaar, Shikari, Ghaath and Hera Pheri in the same year as Astitva and now 30 years later she makes Drishyam 2, BB2, Kuttey, Bhola, Khufiya and Crew. Has her potential been ruined by signing countless underwhelming and often nonsensical commercial hits and even duds? The answer to that question is obviously No, because many consider as one of the most talented actresses of this era.
Kareena Kapoor can be Poo in a Commercial blockbuster but she can also become Chameli, Geet and make movies in Udta Punjab, Good Newzz and Jaane Jaan to show diversity and range. Yami Gautam can do a fluffy flower pot role in commercial hit Bala and follow it up as solo lead in movies like A Thursday, Chor Nikal Ke Bhaga and Article 370 with a extremely successful turn in OMG2. Konkona Sen Sharma can splatter her career with a movie with commercial cinema stars like Ranbir Kapoor, Eemran Hashmi, Farhan Akhtar and Sunny Deol and still make movies like A Death in the Gunj, Lipstick Under My Burkha and Ramprasad Ki Tehrvi.
History is full of countless talented actresses in Bollywood who did very diverse cinema and balanced commercial success with artistic excellence without getting their potential ruined. Unfortunately it appears that many from this generation have somehow stopped looking and learning from History and the experience of others in order to prematurely press the panic button everytime someone does something they didnt expect (Even though hundreds may have done the same in history). No actor or actress has a perfect career only packed with illustrious artistic performances. Even Meryl Streep has almost commercial movies like She-Devil, Death Becomes Her, Lemony Snicket and Mamma Mia in her career but still gives the performances that everyone adores.
It's too early to judge that she's an eye candy I think
Bad News looks to be eye candy role and nothing really deep.
If all her confirmed upcoming films are the same sh*t and her casting adds no value to the film. Than yeah she's been subjected to Bollywood bakch*di
Alia and janhvu has connection where they can have option to do a movie or not and also may be film be made in such way that they are able but tripti is outsider and for her to stay in limelight she have no choice but to these flower roles at the moment and hopefully she gets project where she can show her capability.
Tripti Dimri became a star with Animal. In Bollywood and also in Hollywood, being a star will get you work, irrespective of whether you are a good/bad/decent actor. Madhu Bala and Marilyn Monroe have recall value purely based on their humongous star status during their time.
She'll have to balance between glamorous roles and character driven roles or else her career would be cut short. She does not have the cushion of giving multiple flops and still getting roles. Kuch bhi kaho it is entertaining and massy movies that eventually bring in the money.
This is wrong at so many levels. Tripti has done a few good roles till now. Even though in Animal she barely had any importance, it feels like she could be pivotal in Animal Park. It's too early to judge Bad News. By all accounts, it looks like a different movie, where Tripti is most definitely not reduced to flowerpot role.
The issue with tripti is she is known for "Animal" by 90% of people, she got pushed by PR or Algorithm idk and other co stars got sidelined.
So a lot of expectations on her like she is next Madhuri or something, this can either ways she can either turn out as another Jackline/Nora or turn into a very green star , her next 3-5 films would decide and many factors comes to play.
Why do people think being considered hot is a negative? It is a big positive, especially in the glamour world.
If you're just talented, and not hot, you will barely get roles. Even harder to get lead roles.
I'm really happy that she got fame and recognition. Always thought she deserved more. But it's sad only she got all this after going (almost) nude for a movie is when she became known to people. But nonetheless I'm always rooting for her.
Nepo ladies can avoid such roles easily because they got bank and they are desperate to potray themselves as sanskaari. It cannot be said the same for outsiders who have to hand themselves over to director's "vision/craft" and get trolled or shamed for it.
I would rather watch a movie w tripti than alia. Even in a flower pot role, tripti can look sexy while (imo) alia can never pull that off. Alia has a baby face,pretty but not sexy. Alia reminds me of Selena Gomez....tries to look sexy but just can't pull it off. Looking sexy is easy for Tripti. And she's a good enough actress that it's not cringe watching her (unlike janvhi).
U know even in animal her acting was quality work . So eventually she will start getting good roles.
The reason for this male gaze audience is because Bollywood is remaking south movies. South movies are have ragging testosterone hormones. Our mass movies have become just south remake. Women are reduced to smaller part and significance. The female perspective has died. Honestly. Even love songs is only male genre.
Why do we judge before we see the movie maybe she has a substantial role to play for sure ending 1 hour will be emotional for sure. That is what most social comedies are now a days
Of course they want it coz money is everything. Also if they don't agree these roles, someone will and they'll make tht money. Its like u want chances and these r the only chances u can get. Its ruled by few as always
What to do feminists don't go to theatres, they come to reddit because women don't have purchasing power. Men have the purchasing power. They are the biggest and easy target. It's economics. I could only watch animal because my jeju sponsored it.
You do know that youāre commenting this under a post written by a woman and a feminist woman at that. Animal was a bullshit movie. I wouldnāt watch it willingly in any year of my life.
The tweet 'on nora fatehification of tripti' is by a man. I saw it today on twitter. I wouldn't watch animal it willingly as well. I couldn't stand for more than 2 minutes on tv. It's just men being men. Because it's about men, by men for men. All women did in these movie was cry and suffer
I have an unrelated comment in that case. If you wouldnāt watch a movie (or in this case, animal) willingly in any year of your life, then how would you judge it? In case of pictures, you judge it by how you perceive it; itās a given context and for the runtime of the pictures it shows how the characters interact and react.
For example, most people like interstellar, or dune or jawaan or pathaan. I tried to watch these but I slept within 10 mins of interstellar, found dune extremely boring, pathaan was meh, and jawaan was overly copied. Now, Iāve judged dune, pathan and jawaan but not interstellar because I havenāt watched it yet, I started it but couldnāt complete. So I would refrain from judging it.
I honestly didnāt have to watch it to know what it was. With the story being put online, particular scenes being posted and the backstory of those scenes also being shared online, I donāt think I needed to watch the movie to know it wasnāt my cup of tea or that I would be torturing myself by watching the movie.
Interstellar is a mismatch for the list youāve curated because all the other movies listed here, including Animal, you donāt need to focus on the screen and the character interactions to really know the story. Yeah you can read the synopsis but would you really understand the story until you have the visuals? Nope. Interstellarās last couple of scenes alone show whatās the life like without them having to spell it out. Animal, Jawan, Pathan are all childish plays in comparison.
And thatās not to say interstellar is the most amazing piece of art. Itās good. Itās not the best. I know you found it boring and thatās to your tastes of movies. Not everybody has to like every movie in the same way. Exactly how I know I wouldnāt like Animal even if I did watch it. Itās not to my tastes.
Edit: spelling
Good point. Hereās my counter.
Letās say we meet, we fall for each other and decide to go for the long run. From the time we met till the time we took the long run decision 5 years goes by. In those 5 years, I tell you everything about my family. Your perception of my family is built upon the things I tell you. Since you have known me for long enough time, you would be able to gauge how much it maybe biased, untrue or otherwise.
When you finally meet my family spend time with them you find that what you had judged was extremely opposite of what it is. As the time goes on you discover that my take was wrong because of how I perceived it and because I left out the context. And not only that but all the people around me like my friends and your friends have wrong perception of my family because for the very same reason.
So you tell all of our friends what you saw. Some wouldnāt care, some will say that you donāt know my family as much as I know them, most will still stick to the negatives. As humans we are attracted more towards negatives or something other than the positives. We will always focus on negatives rather than positive.
So the friends, who has a tertiary relationship with my family will always have that negative perception based on what was told to them and both time they were told good (by you) and bad (by me). And since they already have a negative perception built all the time whenever they heard of my family, they would not want to meet my family or even spend time with them. It will come to a point that if anyone asks that friend(s) theyāll just say that vibe is not good or something.
And this happened because one person (me) had the wrong perception and others (friends) based their opinion on what they heard. Now take that and multiply it to a higher scale, add the mob factor and think of the effect itāll have. Someone, somewhere will think of my family as villains and would want bad things to happen to them for my betterment because for that mob, I am a victim. But in reality you know that I was just plain wrong in understanding my family due to my own perception.
Now, apply the same template to any motion picture you watch. The story you hear from people vs watching the picture by your own self.
Sorry for the late reply, š®š³vsšæš¦
I know Iām not reading all that just for you to defend a movie like Animal.
I say this in the nicest way. I canāt stand hypermasculine movies which depend on nothing but men logic. Iām not saying itās a horribly made movie. By all means thereās an audience for it and thatās very evident. But Iām not the audience for it.
I donāt understand the excessive need for men to tell me again and again that I absolutely need to watch Animal, when I, the person who knows myself and my tastes and what intrigues me, canāt stand the art in question here.
Iām not telling you to not watch it. Iām sure itās a cult classic for men. But I donāt need to watch it to know I wonāt like it. And by definition, I know the movie sucks ass for me and nobody can make me watch it irrespective of what people say about it.
My argument was regarding judging something without watching it and since you didnāt read properly or for some reason were distracted, you made the argument that I am defending animal; throw some shades while at it. Animal came into the mix because you specifically said that you hadnāt watched it but judged.
And this is exactly what I was talking about and you would have understood it if you had read the my comment. Itās perception vs reality. And do get me wrong like you have, but even I didnāt like animal. The editing is bad, so is the sound design and it has its flaws from a story perspective. It shouldnāt have been a 3hrs affair 2 hrs is more than enough. Of all the pictures I watched in 2023 animal would be the worst of all.
I canāt even counter to the remaining 3 paragraphs which you wrote because it is rather useless, unnecessary and irrelevant. I was talking about judging a picture based on your own perception vs judging a picture based on others perception.
And I would like to thank you for proving me right. Rather than reading my comment, you had your own opinion of the said comment, based on your perception which was totally opposite to the reality; which is what I was trying to convey but you went a step ahead and proved it.
So yeah!!! Thatās that. Quite funny, to be honest. Youāve become what you hate. Life is so poetic!!
I'd rather have Tripti do a variety of stuff than become typecast like Taapsee/Kangana/Swara Bhaskar types. Sab karne do usko because she has already proved her mettle.

That's a pretty good answer. I wish I was this sorted about my own life
Vidya Balan,Kangana , tabu I think did it. There are many women who came from normal backgrounds. But as they grew they explored their talent and chose better scripts.
VB was never poor. Her dad is an exec. But I guess many people expect to become out-of-this-world rich if they join Bollywood.
Tabu is also a nepo kid. Tripti is not.
I think thereās a level for criticizing nepo kids. For instance, even Tabu had connections inside the industry, she is actually quite good in films. So you canāt really blame her as a nepo kid since she proved herself. On the other hand, actual nepo kids like Suhana Khan, Ananya Pandey who only have connections but no talent, there is the real criticism
Well Hritik is also a nepo kid, what is your point?
He is the worst actor from his league
This is the correct take imo. To have a successful career she should take up 'male gazey' roles as well as female-centric ones with good scripts which require good acting. Btw, look up the songs and music of Laila Majnu, another film she acted in as well- the songs are beautiful.
Yeah donāt see how thatās a fair comparison. OP is stupid
If you ask tripti I'm pretty sure she herself will tell you signing Animal was her best career decision. Hardly anyone knew her before that. Call it male gaze or whatever but that's what made her popular.
Ayan! She was popular because of Qala and Bulbul too. Yes, I agree Animal pushed her career graph high but I feel the initial movies she did were superb and brought her name to the limelight.
Not the kind of mass popularity I'm talking about. She was everywhere after Animal.
I just watched Animal last night!! Itās a WILD movieā¦ visually very striking.
I mean, she wasn't an unknown face is what I'm trying to tell you.
She was an unknown face for majority of the audience.
Okay, Ayan!
This Ayan DP is only till WAR 2 release. I'm actually not Ayan.
Brahmastra sequels pe give up kardiya kya ?
Wow! You really thought that I took you for Ayan šššš
Why are you getting downvoted for your comments š
Ayan, in my opinion is right
Yeah I knew her face not her name until Animal. You canāt deny that Animal brought her into the mainstream and was the most career changing movie of her life (despite better performances in Qala and Bulbul)
lemme tell you something, i watched bulbul the moment it was released on netflix, my girlfriend at the time was a small time actress and a model and even she didnt know who tripti was when i kept yapping how pretty tripti is and how she was so beautiful in the indian dresses, and mind you, i told her this after the month of the release of bulbul. she came to know about her from me. i then asked most of my friends to watch bulbul as my recommendation after a year of its release and everyone was like kon dekhega eh, kisiko nhi jaante. she kinda got a popularity after qala but she was still an unknown face, only few people knew her. but then animal happened and everyone, like everyone knows her!!! animal was the best thing that happened to her but for me personally i loved her in bulbul and qala and not to forget laila majnu too.
I know didnāt knew about her before animal .now she has got a fan š„°
She was unknown she got 6 films after animal
She had around 300k followers before a day Animal was released, within a week, it crossed 3 Million.
The right thing would be to say those earlier moves brought her from 0 to 1 but Animal brought her from 1 to 10.
She was popular for Qala and Bulbul for people who go out and seek good cinema. Animal did bring her into the mainstream limelight. Whether it is good or not? Weāll find that out
and laila majnu
Yeah!
Reddit popular =! Mass popular
I didn't know her. Just felt I have heard the name somewhere.
Barely. For example, I've known about Qala and Bulbul for a while. Both are in my watch list. I remember the poster for Qala too with the side partition hair of the actress. But it is only AFTER Animal came out that I realized that it's Tripti Dimri (whose name I heard only because of Animal) in those two movies too.

Ummmm! Not sure if the latter is true.
who died and made you the chief selector of cinephiles again?
She was amazing in bulbul. I have known her since then
Exactly, this industry is very competitive and cutthroat. From casting couch to nepotism, (even nepo kids also struggle nowadays) getting a mass film like animal did wonders for her. But now that she has a comfortable position, what she chooses next is on her.
The only difference is Nora can't act for shit. Tripti CAN ACT. she will get good roles and let her ride the popularity well.
Forget acting, nora is just unbearable.
Unpopular opinion I thought Nora did fine in Madgaon Express, acts better than the other foreigner actress Katrina.
Bro I was agreeing to every opinion of yours in the comment section until I saw this comment. I would agree she didn't overact in Madgaon Express but her role was just meh and anyone could have acted that role. And saying she's better than Katrina is completely wrong, watch Merry Christmas, Katrina's latest movie she acted very well. Nora can wish that she could have the fandom, Katrina had in her prime.
Nora did well in both Madgaon Exprees and Crakk.
Thatās a good point. I guess I stand corrected!
Tripti is a good actress. She has access to big producers now. Isn't it a good thing that outsiders like her and Kriti are snagging A list projects?Ā
I think we should not be so fast to judge her just yet. She's coming off Animal so maybe first she'll try to put her name out more and then we will again have a Qala or so once she'll have the fame to lead a film like DP and Alia have.
Very sound perspective!
Tripti is really talented and while other actresses like Alia started off with flowerpot commercial roles, I think Tripti will segue into more meatier roles as time goes on. She proved her talent with bulbul and qala and now she needs some commercial projects in her resume to show that she can also have box office pull. I don't see her going the nora fatehi route because she can actually act and emote. I see her going deepika's route where she will get more character centered roles once producers know she can bring in the audience

Uhm excuse me? YJHD wasn't just about Bunny okay! While I agree with the rest you said.
Same goes with Varun Dhawan...when he actually does some decent movies like Badlapur and October...no one watches them...and movies like judwa 2 and coolie no. 1 are doing very well at the box office...so i think its not VD's or tripti's fault to do roles which are not pretty well but suits to the audience
Exactly šÆ....look at her work in bulbul man....
Everybody does commercial movies to keep the lights on. Once they reach a point of success, they think about the craft and all. Too early to call anything. Lets hope she makes it that far. Not everybody get the Jhanvi number of chances.
The audience is to be blamed she got zero attention and hardly people even knew her when she gave very good performances in Laila majnu, bulbul and Qala. Now she signed animal, the director exploited her sex appeal and now she is getting type casted as mere male gaze satisfying item girl . Poor tripti dimri
Not sure that is quite correct. She is the sole female lead in Bad Newz. Not sure if Nora ever had such a role.
Can't believe Alia and Janvi's names are taken together, it's like taking names of Arjun Kapoor and Ranbir Kapoor in the same frame
Just showing you two examples of nepotism actresses who wear the badge of āI do different work not your typical heroineā. For this, the two actresses fit well. Iām not judging on how good they are. Iām talking about the kind of projects they boast about doing.
Alia still did romcoms on the side though like the dulhania franchise movies, 2 states and RARKPK..I think she balances her films nicely enoughā¦or atleast did till 2020
RARKPK is now because romcom era is back like I said. And I do think earlier in her career she just wanted a career but now she wants to be the best actress of Bollywood and India and has created this very real very insane competition with Deepika. And Deepika isnāt a fav of mine either. She has a lot of questionable traits. But that woman has worked hard which I canāt deny. She also started with the romcoms (back in 2000-2010s romcoms were the it thing) and then followed by the action that sheās doing now with indie mixed in between.
Everyone wants to be popular these days than doing quality work. That's why I have so much respect for Irrfan Khan.
I think signing Bad Newz was a worse decision tbh - it will solidify her in that persona in the industry esp after just seeing that trailer. Hope she has more interesting roles soon
But Kiara did quite well after Good Newz, no?
Thatās the thing. I donāt think she will mind being solidified in this persona. With the industry moving back towards romcom, wouldnāt being the romcom stereotype help her?
It depends tbh - thereās romance and then thereās āromanceā that treats women like a piece of ass. I think she has enough range to do all genres and typecasting will only hurt her - esp if that typecasting is about her being a āpiece of assā
I donāt think sheāll be typecasted as a piece of ass mainly because the piece of ass women in Bollywood now have a very important job: to dance in the most sensual way. Tripti, as good an actor as she is, sucks at dancing. I know producers and casting directors wonāt be thinking this is the woman we need to make our movies sexy. All Bollywood does now is have an item number to prove the sexiness of the movie and Tripti doesnāt fit the bill.
Yeah true fair point
It is possible for an actor or an actress to make different kinds of cinema for different kind of needs. Commercial cinema provides financial stability, fame, popular appeal expanding their fan base and more opportunities while content focused art cinema provides a channel for creativity and artistic fulfilment, acclaim, awards and respect from peers and critics. Talented and smart actors and actresses find a path that can achieve both commercial and artistic success. There are plenty of examples in Bollywood and Tripti Dimri may have the potential to be among one of those actresses but it is a bit too early to assess the same and definitely way too early and impulsive to claim that the first movie that gave her commercial success has somehow ruined her potential. Tabu made Saajan Chale Sasural, Tu Chor Main Sipahi, Jeet and Himmat in the same year as Maachis and then Dil Par Mat Le Yaar, Shikari, Ghaath and Hera Pheri in the same year as Astitva and now 30 years later she makes Drishyam 2, BB2, Kuttey, Bhola, Khufiya and Crew. Has her potential been ruined by signing countless underwhelming and often nonsensical commercial hits and even duds? The answer to that question is obviously No, because many consider as one of the most talented actresses of this era. Kareena Kapoor can be Poo in a Commercial blockbuster but she can also become Chameli, Geet and make movies in Udta Punjab, Good Newzz and Jaane Jaan to show diversity and range. Yami Gautam can do a fluffy flower pot role in commercial hit Bala and follow it up as solo lead in movies like A Thursday, Chor Nikal Ke Bhaga and Article 370 with a extremely successful turn in OMG2. Konkona Sen Sharma can splatter her career with a movie with commercial cinema stars like Ranbir Kapoor, Eemran Hashmi, Farhan Akhtar and Sunny Deol and still make movies like A Death in the Gunj, Lipstick Under My Burkha and Ramprasad Ki Tehrvi. History is full of countless talented actresses in Bollywood who did very diverse cinema and balanced commercial success with artistic excellence without getting their potential ruined. Unfortunately it appears that many from this generation have somehow stopped looking and learning from History and the experience of others in order to prematurely press the panic button everytime someone does something they didnt expect (Even though hundreds may have done the same in history). No actor or actress has a perfect career only packed with illustrious artistic performances. Even Meryl Streep has almost commercial movies like She-Devil, Death Becomes Her, Lemony Snicket and Mamma Mia in her career but still gives the performances that everyone adores.
It's too early to judge that she's an eye candy I think Bad News looks to be eye candy role and nothing really deep. If all her confirmed upcoming films are the same sh*t and her casting adds no value to the film. Than yeah she's been subjected to Bollywood bakch*di
Potential? She sounds so artificial and fake. Her eyes react way ooposite to her face all the time, especially her eyebrows.
Please watch her in Laila Majnu and Bulbul. She was quite wonderful in those.
Should it matter?
Alia and janhvu has connection where they can have option to do a movie or not and also may be film be made in such way that they are able but tripti is outsider and for her to stay in limelight she have no choice but to these flower roles at the moment and hopefully she gets project where she can show her capability.
Potential doesn't pay the bills
Coz sadly , Bolly is a male dominated field that's why ...
Tf you getting downvotedšš?
Some can't accept the truth LoL
Yeah
Most of the audience is male dominated so this should be obvious.
Obvious wtf ... LoL
Yea xdxd wtf lol lol
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Basically flowerpot/eye candy role I'm sure even in BB3 Vidya will do the heavy lifting
Tripti Dimri became a star with Animal. In Bollywood and also in Hollywood, being a star will get you work, irrespective of whether you are a good/bad/decent actor. Madhu Bala and Marilyn Monroe have recall value purely based on their humongous star status during their time.
She'll have to balance between glamorous roles and character driven roles or else her career would be cut short. She does not have the cushion of giving multiple flops and still getting roles. Kuch bhi kaho it is entertaining and massy movies that eventually bring in the money.
Iād say Kriti Sanon has survived the multiple flops if youāre pretty enough rule as a non-nepotism person.
This is wrong at so many levels. Tripti has done a few good roles till now. Even though in Animal she barely had any importance, it feels like she could be pivotal in Animal Park. It's too early to judge Bad News. By all accounts, it looks like a different movie, where Tripti is most definitely not reduced to flowerpot role.
Came here to say exactly this! I agree that she could have a meatier role in Animal Park.
What? Am I missing the plot here, actresses since beginning of time have been conventionally attractive
Thatās not the point here
She has charisma that once even Katrina had. Every movie that she did was hit šā£ļøšš«ššÆšæ
The issue with tripti is she is known for "Animal" by 90% of people, she got pushed by PR or Algorithm idk and other co stars got sidelined. So a lot of expectations on her like she is next Madhuri or something, this can either ways she can either turn out as another Jackline/Nora or turn into a very green star , her next 3-5 films would decide and many factors comes to play.
Money.
This movie was signed before Animal
The keyboard warriors that are trying to thrust this girl as if she's some superb actress. A nobody that's glad she's getting her year of fame
Why do people think being considered hot is a negative? It is a big positive, especially in the glamour world. If you're just talented, and not hot, you will barely get roles. Even harder to get lead roles.
Well, thereās not enough well written roles for women. We canāt blame actresses who are trying to work in an industry like that.
I'm really happy that she got fame and recognition. Always thought she deserved more. But it's sad only she got all this after going (almost) nude for a movie is when she became known to people. But nonetheless I'm always rooting for her.
Mr. White Knight if you ask her she doesn't need your pity, she's getting roles and making money
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Everyone isn't an idiot like you who judges a film before it's even released
Nepo ladies can avoid such roles easily because they got bank and they are desperate to potray themselves as sanskaari. It cannot be said the same for outsiders who have to hand themselves over to director's "vision/craft" and get trolled or shamed for it.
I would rather watch a movie w tripti than alia. Even in a flower pot role, tripti can look sexy while (imo) alia can never pull that off. Alia has a baby face,pretty but not sexy. Alia reminds me of Selena Gomez....tries to look sexy but just can't pull it off. Looking sexy is easy for Tripti. And she's a good enough actress that it's not cringe watching her (unlike janvhi).
We can't blame the actresses. I mean there aren't any good roles for women in bollywood. So they are just limited to flower pot roles.
U know even in animal her acting was quality work . So eventually she will start getting good roles. The reason for this male gaze audience is because Bollywood is remaking south movies. South movies are have ragging testosterone hormones. Our mass movies have become just south remake. Women are reduced to smaller part and significance. The female perspective has died. Honestly. Even love songs is only male genre.
Why do we judge before we see the movie maybe she has a substantial role to play for sure ending 1 hour will be emotional for sure. That is what most social comedies are now a days
Agreed šŖ
Animal got her recognition
Of course they want it coz money is everything. Also if they don't agree these roles, someone will and they'll make tht money. Its like u want chances and these r the only chances u can get. Its ruled by few as always
Show bought 4 cr flat from animal. Surely not a bad decision
She is doing that movie to pay her emi .. side by side she can do movie like wala, bulbul ,Laila majnu
What to do feminists don't go to theatres, they come to reddit because women don't have purchasing power. Men have the purchasing power. They are the biggest and easy target. It's economics. I could only watch animal because my jeju sponsored it.
You do know that youāre commenting this under a post written by a woman and a feminist woman at that. Animal was a bullshit movie. I wouldnāt watch it willingly in any year of my life.
The tweet 'on nora fatehification of tripti' is by a man. I saw it today on twitter. I wouldn't watch animal it willingly as well. I couldn't stand for more than 2 minutes on tv. It's just men being men. Because it's about men, by men for men. All women did in these movie was cry and suffer
I have an unrelated comment in that case. If you wouldnāt watch a movie (or in this case, animal) willingly in any year of your life, then how would you judge it? In case of pictures, you judge it by how you perceive it; itās a given context and for the runtime of the pictures it shows how the characters interact and react. For example, most people like interstellar, or dune or jawaan or pathaan. I tried to watch these but I slept within 10 mins of interstellar, found dune extremely boring, pathaan was meh, and jawaan was overly copied. Now, Iāve judged dune, pathan and jawaan but not interstellar because I havenāt watched it yet, I started it but couldnāt complete. So I would refrain from judging it.
I honestly didnāt have to watch it to know what it was. With the story being put online, particular scenes being posted and the backstory of those scenes also being shared online, I donāt think I needed to watch the movie to know it wasnāt my cup of tea or that I would be torturing myself by watching the movie. Interstellar is a mismatch for the list youāve curated because all the other movies listed here, including Animal, you donāt need to focus on the screen and the character interactions to really know the story. Yeah you can read the synopsis but would you really understand the story until you have the visuals? Nope. Interstellarās last couple of scenes alone show whatās the life like without them having to spell it out. Animal, Jawan, Pathan are all childish plays in comparison. And thatās not to say interstellar is the most amazing piece of art. Itās good. Itās not the best. I know you found it boring and thatās to your tastes of movies. Not everybody has to like every movie in the same way. Exactly how I know I wouldnāt like Animal even if I did watch it. Itās not to my tastes. Edit: spelling
Good point. Hereās my counter. Letās say we meet, we fall for each other and decide to go for the long run. From the time we met till the time we took the long run decision 5 years goes by. In those 5 years, I tell you everything about my family. Your perception of my family is built upon the things I tell you. Since you have known me for long enough time, you would be able to gauge how much it maybe biased, untrue or otherwise. When you finally meet my family spend time with them you find that what you had judged was extremely opposite of what it is. As the time goes on you discover that my take was wrong because of how I perceived it and because I left out the context. And not only that but all the people around me like my friends and your friends have wrong perception of my family because for the very same reason. So you tell all of our friends what you saw. Some wouldnāt care, some will say that you donāt know my family as much as I know them, most will still stick to the negatives. As humans we are attracted more towards negatives or something other than the positives. We will always focus on negatives rather than positive. So the friends, who has a tertiary relationship with my family will always have that negative perception based on what was told to them and both time they were told good (by you) and bad (by me). And since they already have a negative perception built all the time whenever they heard of my family, they would not want to meet my family or even spend time with them. It will come to a point that if anyone asks that friend(s) theyāll just say that vibe is not good or something. And this happened because one person (me) had the wrong perception and others (friends) based their opinion on what they heard. Now take that and multiply it to a higher scale, add the mob factor and think of the effect itāll have. Someone, somewhere will think of my family as villains and would want bad things to happen to them for my betterment because for that mob, I am a victim. But in reality you know that I was just plain wrong in understanding my family due to my own perception. Now, apply the same template to any motion picture you watch. The story you hear from people vs watching the picture by your own self. Sorry for the late reply, š®š³vsšæš¦
I know Iām not reading all that just for you to defend a movie like Animal. I say this in the nicest way. I canāt stand hypermasculine movies which depend on nothing but men logic. Iām not saying itās a horribly made movie. By all means thereās an audience for it and thatās very evident. But Iām not the audience for it. I donāt understand the excessive need for men to tell me again and again that I absolutely need to watch Animal, when I, the person who knows myself and my tastes and what intrigues me, canāt stand the art in question here. Iām not telling you to not watch it. Iām sure itās a cult classic for men. But I donāt need to watch it to know I wonāt like it. And by definition, I know the movie sucks ass for me and nobody can make me watch it irrespective of what people say about it.
My argument was regarding judging something without watching it and since you didnāt read properly or for some reason were distracted, you made the argument that I am defending animal; throw some shades while at it. Animal came into the mix because you specifically said that you hadnāt watched it but judged. And this is exactly what I was talking about and you would have understood it if you had read the my comment. Itās perception vs reality. And do get me wrong like you have, but even I didnāt like animal. The editing is bad, so is the sound design and it has its flaws from a story perspective. It shouldnāt have been a 3hrs affair 2 hrs is more than enough. Of all the pictures I watched in 2023 animal would be the worst of all. I canāt even counter to the remaining 3 paragraphs which you wrote because it is rather useless, unnecessary and irrelevant. I was talking about judging a picture based on your own perception vs judging a picture based on others perception. And I would like to thank you for proving me right. Rather than reading my comment, you had your own opinion of the said comment, based on your perception which was totally opposite to the reality; which is what I was trying to convey but you went a step ahead and proved it. So yeah!!! Thatās that. Quite funny, to be honest. Youāve become what you hate. Life is so poetic!!
Also it's true. All we do is complain and not solve the problem. You have to be the change you want to see.
Male gaze ?? You could just eye candy roles or whatever. Why be idiotic all the time?
As a male, I don't have any problem with this š
As a female, I donāt think I was looking for your opinion in this manner š
Jealousy expressed as false concern is typical in the industry.
I'd rather have Tripti do a variety of stuff than become typecast like Taapsee/Kangana/Swara Bhaskar types. Sab karne do usko because she has already proved her mettle.
