One of the most powerful medium in India is Cinema. We look at the Bollywood beauties whose films either scored high or fell flat in 2017 films in terms of Box office verdict. Katrina Kaif emerges as winner in Bollywood with her 'Tiger Zinda hai' grand opening and its first week collection at Box office.


The hard working, talented , charming actresses play an important role to add substance to the story and also ensure the success of a film at box-office.

Amidst Bollywood beauties, Gorgeous Katrina Kaif has emerged as winner with her latest Tiger Zinda Hai . Film has collected over 200 crores in first week of its release. Though her Jugga Jassos had disappointed all big time but finally she is now welcomed back with a swag.

Since Deepika Padukone’s Padmawati remains in waiting so 2017 didn’t give her any hit despite her Hollywood flick and a song in Rabta. Though she was one of the highest paid Indian actress of Bollywood in 2016.

Alia Bhatt is one actress who has given hits after hits. She has emerged as one of the  most versatile and talented actress. With her power pack performance in ‘Badrinath ki dulhania , she nailed it.. Even her dad confessed in one of the interview that he knew she is talented but in ‘Badri..’ she took it to another level.

Bollywood showcases new talents and some of them succeed with their talents. And without doubt the surprise package was Bhumi Pedekar who sealed her talent with Toilet –Ek Prem Katha. Film addressed a social issue and Bhumi addressed that with full dedication.

Vidya Balan is one such talented actress who is known for doing films which would revolve around her. Year 2017 saw her in Begum Jaan. Much hopes were pinned on this film but it failed to leave even a dot. Vidya  returned  back in  ‘Tumhari Sulu’ and got mixed reviews. She entertained and that’s what Bollywood is all about.

And Anushka Sharma scored high on personal front but didn't get the same happiness with 'Jab Harry met Sejal' . Khan magic didn't work this time though her 'Phillori' was treated as a nice attempt.

A mixed year for Bollywood beauties wherein some shined and some managed a bit of sparkle while some just got faded away.
