[edit] Reviews
- Armaan
- Taran Adarsh at IndiaFM which makes its presence in the article: Preity Zinta comes up with another superb performance, essaying her part with utmost sincerity.
- BBC - "Gracy Singh gives a pleasant performance but somewhat gets over shadowed by the superb acting of Priety Zinta."
- Variety.com? "Most colorful perf, however, is from Zinta who, though playing an archetypal bad sort, manages to make the self-obsessed Soniya an almost sympathetic character through the sheer vivaciousness of her part-child, part-vamp playing."
- The Tribune - not only is the review title "Preity Zinta all the way" - the critic writes about her: "Preity Zinta has outclassed everyone with her convincing performance in a negative role."
- The Hindu: "she is just about perfect."
- Also received various nomination.
- So what is the majority opinion??? Isn't it clear?
- Majority opinion: Well recieved
- Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna
- Rediff here: Preity who? Zinta has barely a walk-on part in the film, her appearances pretty much restricted to the loud and showy songs
- The same Rediff on the same film here: Preity looks glamorous and in a couple of scenes, manages to overshadow King Khan too.
- BBC - "Preity Zinta too gives her best. Watching her in the scene where she confronts Rani during the wedding reception makes you realise how excellent she is as an actress."
- IBN live: "Preity Zinta fits her role to the tee, reflecting just that slight hint of cold detachment that the part requires from her."
- indiaFM - "Preity not only looks gorgeous, but the dedication to her role shows at vital points. Her penultimate scene with Rani Mukerji, when she confronts her at the marriage reception, is fabulous."
- The Hindu: "Preity Zinta as Rhea and Abhishek Bachchan as Rishi are backed by well-etched out roles, come out of the film with their heads held high."
- Express India: "But the actors who walk away with the cake are Abhishek Bachchan and Preity Zinta. The lady has not just looked glamorous but she has walked with poise, sat with grace, smiled with composure and spoke with calmness. Who would have thought that the bubbly girl could so skillfully shed her age-old tag and walk away as the don’t-mess-with-me lass. So all those who are in search of the peppy Preity, well guys you’ve dialed the wrong number this time."
- 5 reviews praise her. One review says that she has a little role. What is the majority opinion.
- Received various nominations for Best supporting actress.
- Majority opinion: Well received Result: the reviews on the page are OK.
- Chori Chori Chupke Chupke
- Taran Adarsh in Indiafm: Between Rani and Preity, it is difficult to choose who's the better performer. Both have been given equal footage (length-wise) and importance. Both are incredibly competent in the respective roles, although Preity does go overboard in the initial portions (this is a minor concern)
- Rediff: Preity Zinta, who clearly has the meatiest part of all, makes the best of it. Her transformation from the cocky and unabashed prostitute to a sensitive and warm person is amazingly believable.
- Just to note, the refs do NOT give contradicting reviews. Preity Zinta described as the actress with the meatiest role. And indiaFM only supports the claim by saying "Between Rani and Preity, it is difficult to choose who's the better performer". Rani was the leading and Preity is described as equally good, while she is the supporting.
- The Hindu: "In steps a nautch girl to transform into a good samaritan. Preity Zinta, in probably the second most challenging role of her brief career, puts life into her character of Madhubala as she goes from being a roadside dancing girl to a woman who agrees to mother a child for a price, with elan. However, while she is credible as a to-be mother and exudes the warmth of one, she is not as convincing in mouthing the inanities used by the women of the street."
- [1]
- According to Sify (an article of 2003): "When Preity did a Pretty Woman in the notorious film Chori Chori Chupke Chupke she was just as uncomfortable about using all the foul language. Once she entered the zone of the rented womb Preity had a ball. This remains her best performance yet."
- Received nominations, including a Filmfare Best Supporting Actress Award.
- 'Majority opinion: Well recieved with the meatiest role, although not as convincing in the first half which is not as significant considering all critics praise her so highly. All of the praise her, so the --> Result: the review on the page is OK.
- Mission Kashmir
- Rediff: Preity Zinta has her moments, and thankfully she is NOT reduced to a prop.
- The Hindu: "Preity Zinta is her usual cherubic self and lends colour to the otherwise serious proceedings."
- Both reviews say she was good. Reviews are not so distinct from each other. Nobody says that she has a big role.
- The Tribune: "Priety Zinta has a noticeable presence."
- Majority opinion: Well recieved but had a small role Result: the review on the page is OK, only needs to add that her role was small.
- Dil Hai tumhara
- Variety: "Zinta and helmer Kundan Shah previously hit with "Kya kehna" (2000), and present, more formulaic pic is perhaps the young thesp's best vehicle to date."
- Rediff: "Preity is superb. Her last film with Kundan Shah, Kya Kehna!, won many accolades for her performance. Her spontaneous smile lights up the screen. As the neglected child, Preity does not spend her time crying and wallowing. Due credit for this should go to Shah. Preity is presented as the bubbly, vivacious girl, with a sensitive heart."
- The Hindu: "She is Preity Zinta, who walked away with accolades in the brave Kya Kehna, and who may just do the same here... Preity Zinta in one of the more powerful roles of her career... Take away Preity Zinta and Dil Hai Tumhaara is a tiresome film in urgent need of heavy editing. Put Zinta in there and it becomes watchable frame-to-frame. Preity is there all through, purely due to her infectious charm."
- The Tribune: "Preity Zinta has done a marvellous job in the role of the stepdaughter of the local mayor Rekha."
- BBC: "The performance by actress Priety Zinta is simply superb."
- All the above reviews praise her very much.
- Again, earned nominations at Star Screen Awards and Bollywood Movie Awards
- 5 reviews plus one on the article, all of which are positive.
- Majority opinion: highly acclaimed Result: the review on the page is more than OK.
- Veer-Zaara
- The Hindu: "...there are such good performances, especially from Preity and Rani."
- BBC: "Preity looks like a million bucks which is expected, being a Yash Chopra heroine. She comes across as a complete natural and it is safe to say that we have finally found a replacement for Kajol."
- Rediff: "Preity does a good job at playing a Yash Chopra heroine: she looks dreamy and plays her Zaara with grace and restraint."
- The Tribune: "Preity Zinta, too, has managed to rise to the heights which the script attempts to explore. As a bubbly Pakistani woman treated with contempt by the conservative society, she is immensely likeable."
- tvguide: "Though Chopra's film is emotionally extravagant even by the standards of India's epically unrestrained cinema, the star-crossed lovers bear the weighty metaphorical significance of their travails surprisingly lightly, particularly Zinta's radiantly lovely Zaara."
- One on the page from "Vartiety" - positive.
- Nominated; won awards.
- Majority opinion: positive Result: the review on the page is OK.
- Salaam Namaste
- Rediff: "Preity manages to handle all situations thrown at her, and makes for a very efficient radio jockey."
- New York Times, starts with Zinta: "Preity Zinta must be the Katie Holmes of the Indian film industry. She is cheerleader-homecoming queen-fraternity sweetheart pretty, so even when her characters are being unkind it's hard not to like her."
- The Hindu: "Preity especially does a good job with the hysterics."
- BBC, again starts with Zinta saying: "This romantic comedy focuses on Ambar Malhotra (Preity Zinta) who decides to study medicine in Melbourne." and later on says: "Both Saif and Preity manage to play their parts convincingly."
- The Tribune: "Priety spices it up with her vivacity as a radio jockey in Australia."
- Film Jounal International: positive.
- Variety: positive.
- One more review from indiaFM on the article.
- Nominated for Best Actress at all awards ceremonies.
- Majority opinion: praised Result: the review on the page is OK.
- Important comments in different RSes to make the "majority opinion" clear
- Rediff: "Her performances in films like Har Dil Jo Pyaar Karega, Farz, Chori Chori Chupke Chupke and Mission Kashmir have been much applauded."
