Precambrian Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 I have discussed this with my friends.. Meenakshi seshadri, Hema malini, vijayanti mala all 3 hail from TN. All 3 are iyengar brahmins. Apart from Sridevi i don't know any non bramin who is very famous has come out of TN. Rati Agnihotri is from Chennai though a punjabi. She grew up there. Not sure if Rekha is an iyer or iyengar. Even among south actresses are mostly from Andhra, kerala and Karnataka. I think in TN they are little more conservative. Madhubala is also a bramhin i think. It is not like you don't have pretty, white skinned girls there. Just that they don't prefer acting. Apart from bramin community i have not seen anyone from TN with ane xception of Sridevi. Timeless beauty Waheeda Rehman... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prakat Posted June 2, 2012 Author Share Posted June 2, 2012 That's not true with Southie movies either. Yes, there may be a disproportionate number of "white skinned" Northie gals in Southie movies when compared to the opposite in Bollywood, but I would say it is less than half. May be there was a time when Smiran, Kushboo and Nagma were all acting at the same time, they probably did more than the others, but current movies, from what I have seen aren't as dominated. Of the the 3 I mentioned, only Simran was worth importing, other 2 were trash, IMO. PS: I am not a big Southie (or bollywood) movie watcher, I am very selective in the kind of movies I watch. So the top heroines right now are south Indian? Maybe an avid watcher can weigh in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Typical southie girl? :facepalm: what is that? The typical dark, short, fat, one-eyed, balding, single, destitute Southie woman. :cantstop: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vvvslaxman Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Even in the north.. how many states produces great actresses.. I think Bengal produces substantial amount of actresses. Rani mukerjee not fair skinned. Kajol not fair skinned. Punjab produces the "whitest" actresses.. are they any good actresses from there. At the end of the day how many really make it good.. In Tamil i can roughly put up a list of who was the top actresses in various era 1960s - Saroja devi 1970s - Jayalalitha, Lakshmi, Sujatha 1980s - Radha, Ambika, Revathi, Nadhiya 1990s - Gowthami, Roja, Rambha, Meena, Soundarya, Kushboo, Simran 2000s - Sneha, Trisha, Asin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kusbhoo and Simran are the only two who developed bit of acting skills. Rest are all junk. Utter junk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 ^Good list there. You missed the useless import Jyothika there, probably in the early 2000s bucket. Some people like her acting. :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW I think kerala too has produced top notch actresses - Vidya Balan & Priyamani - both are national award winners and hail from Kerala (in fact they are second cousins!), Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But seriously they are here mostly for skin show. Nothing else. But in the last 4 or 5 years i see so many off beat village movies where they cast mainly south actresses, typically kerala.

yoda Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Shreya Saran is another popular actress who can't act but can look the pretty part. She is a Northie, but isn't exactly a bollywood import, having acted mainly in Southie movies. Now she is worth importing. :winky: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree Tamannah, Kajal Agarwal, Tapsee Pannu - absolute shambles in acting and performing only in hero-centric mass masala movies as mere props... Most north commentators have zero idea about how complex south industry is. For them the idea of a south hero is stocky, aging, dark skinned, cooling glass wearing, moustache sporting, guys like Vijayakanth/Ballaya... and typical heroine being a northie cutie just to whet the actor's ego (the girl must chase the guy) while this is true in case of some movies, mostly masala fan-oriented star vehicles of over-the-hill actors, such movies are not the rule... Time's are a changin . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prakat Posted June 2, 2012 Author Share Posted June 2, 2012 VVS you are talking about skin show as if its some kind of character flaw! It says more about the audience than the girl. And the fact that these heroines can't act makes it stranger yet. That they have no redeeming quality apart from the fact that the boys like looking at them.

vvvslaxman Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Entertainment industry has no boundaries. When Roja was released Madhubala had her 15 minute fame . She acted in a few movies. all you need is one break through movie at the right time. It is upto you to make a career out of it. Just in case you don't know Hemamalini did her first audition for a Tamil movie where Sridhar rejected her. She became a dream girl in bollywood. Strange things happen.

Dude, don't tell me that Katrina Kaif can act. :winky: That's the level we are talking here. BTW, some on this board think even Aish can't act.
