Anushka Sharma in NH10: Anushka Sharma stunned the audiences with her bravo performance in NH10  in which she not only acted but also produced it. This brought her lot of name and fame not just from the audiences but also critics who had high praises for her astonishing acting skills in the film. Her role and performance both were tight scripted. Playing an urban Mira, who goes for a small vacation with her hubby and meets with some tragic happenings, making it horrific incident. Her performance was highly appreciated and acclaimed.

Deepika Padukone in Piku: The lassie actress Deepika Padukone who was dazzling at top position last year for giving triple hit films, rocked this year as well. Her choice of films is just getting better and better, and she proved this when she signed Shoojit Sircar’s Piku. Working with actors like Amitabh Bachchan and Irrfan Khan and still shining out with her performance was no child’s play. But she managed to do it all with so much of ease in her acting. She so seamlessly marked a very strong performance and earned more praises from everyone. More power to this talented and versatile Diva!

Richa Chadda in Masaan: Richa yet again proved that she is a power house of talent. She enthralled the audiences by her performance of a young woman ridden with guilt of a sexual encounter ending in a tragedy. She brings a life to her character giving us the feeling as it would really exist. She stands out amongst her contemporaries by her choice of films and also her acting. By doing Masaan she made it absolutely clear, that she is a risk-taker. Like all her previous films, Masaan  too got her tremendous critical acclaim and rightly so.

Kangana Ranaut in Tanu Weds Manu Returns: After a huge success in Queen last year, Kangana was back with a bang this year with Tanu Weds Manu Returns, the second installment of her much applauded film Tanu Weds Manu. Her fans enjoyed the double bonanza of her double role in the film. Especially her tom boy role in the film was truly the highlight of the film. She managed to steal the show and how! Though other star cast supported the film in a brilliant way, Kangana was, in true sense, the hero of the film.

Kalki Koechlin in Margarita with a Straw:  Kalki’s brilliant performance in Maragartia with a Straw bought her lot of praises, not only from critics and viewers, but also from industry people. She made a brave choice to take up role of a girl with cerebral palsy and sexual identity disorder. Kalki very maturely got into the nerves of her character and portrayed it even beautifully. She led the film and conveyed the difficulties her character faces in the film.

This year witnessed some striking performances from our female actors proving that women too can uphold a film on their shoulders. This has changed the outlook of not just the audiences but also the industry scenario as producers, distributors etc. can now bank on these stunning females who can lead the film all by themselves. It has also increased scope for scripts that are highly content-driven and portray women with more features than just showcasing their sex appeal or dancing skills.
