Top ten movies of Katrina Kaif

Many say that Katrina Kaif is the top Bollywood actress today. It is true that Katrina Kaif has the highest number of hit movies to her credit compared to any other actress in Bollywood at present and she also has lots of endorsements but does it make her the top actress of Bollywood? Only few years ago, we had Kajol, Preity Zinta, Rani Mukherjee ruling to the Bollywood industry. If you look at their movies and compare their acting with Katrina Kaif do you think she is really that talented? I don’t think so. In my view, Katrina Kaif is a glamorous lady and she fits in only glamorous roles where one does not need to have too much of acting talent. She is just another fake Barbie doll addition of Bollywood. Here is a list of top ten movies of Katrina Kaif. Read about them and tell me what you think?

The movie ends when the two unites. Hum Ko Deewana Kar Gaye did not do very well at the box office. First of all, Katrina Kaif’s portrayal of Jia was not very strong.
