I get excited when it spurs so much conversation, and it doesn't help when there's so many great actresses out there.<br /><br />@Filmbuff - Generally I agree with you about Priyanka. She's one of those actresses that I can watch fine, but I wouldn't rush out and see something just because she was in it, but actresses really have to work hard to win me over.<br /><br />@ajnabi - I can certainly see Kareena in something like the Vesper role, but any kind of double role where she plays both sides would be fantastic.<br /><br />@Tady - I think Bipasha got ripped off in Dhoom 2, where we only got to see a little bit of the edgy cop (I would have preferred just that role to the bikini wearing twin sister). Anyway it would be fantastic to see a whole movie where she's insanely strong<br /><br />@Daddy's Girl - Why have I never heard of this Cristiano Ronaldo kiss. Am going to have to look it up online. <br /><br />As for the pics, aren't they gorgeous! I love them all. Could have really done without the watch though in the pic of Aish.

Mallika could have potential though.<br /><br />@tbf - Sameera Reddy, or Celina Jaitley and Katrina Kaif all crossed my mind actually. Might I ask what Bips did to tarnish India? Must have been something big that I missed?<br /><br />@Filmigirl - Haven't seen Sophie in anything, but she definitely looks like she could pull of a femme fatale kind of character.

...Great post and choice of "Bond Girls". <br /><br />I think Priyanka is an over rated actress and am glad to see that she is not one of your choices in this list.<br /><br />Speaking of Ash in non hindi films, I personally liked her acting in Provoked - it was natural. I haven't seen her other <br />English movies listed by Melissa. <br /><br />See her in the tamil film Iruvar her first film - she was good for the very first movie. It is a Mani Ratnam movie and very well made and focuses on the two lead protoganists in the political realm of Tamil Nadu. BTW, it is not an Ash movie lest people think it is. She is one of the characters.Filmbuffnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5856106477563761138.post-30953938656599473252010-05-30T16:56:55.551-07:002010-05-30T16:56:55.551-07:00Oh, wow!

I don't really know which Indian actress would be a good Bond girl... Mahie Gill was one of the only things I liked about Dev D, and it'd be cool to see her take on some sort of badass role. =) Tabu... I love her, but I don't know. I admit, I thought of her instantly when I first saw this, but now I'm not so sure. I haven't seen anything of Riya Sen's, but she sure has the looks for it!rhilexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13983279401593374740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5856106477563761138.post-83941673128702923132010-05-30T16:48:16.998-07:002010-05-30T16:48:16.998-07:00Blue was a terrible film - watched the first 10 mi...Blue was a terrible film - watched the first 10 minutes then felt my brain start to go numb, so stopped. I firmly believe that Lara is much better than that, though, although to be fair she really hasn't done many good films.<br /><br />Have to say I love Bombay Talkies' suggestion of Mahie Gill, and tBf's suggestion of Sameera Reddy.

Mistress of Spices, Provoked, Bride and Prejudice, that weird Colin Firth movie...she was the same in all of them. I don't dislike her; I thought she was wonderful in Guru, KK, Devdas, etc., but she doesn't have a lot of range when it comes to her expressions, and she's definitely a director's actor.<br /><br />I love your lists, in any case!

I have Dev.D, but haven't seen yet. I've heard good things about Mahi Gill.<br /><br />I absolutely think being a Bond girl is about more than looks. I think attitude, passion, intelligence rank just as high. There are lots of beautiful women I left off of this list (and none of them fall into my top 5 overall actresses list I posted a bit ago).<br /><br />I thought about putting older actresses on here, and actually Tabe did cross my mind, as I really liked Michelle Yeoh a lot in TND. If I expanded my list to include any actresses it would be very different.Shelliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08758282383525747870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5856106477563761138.post-15808484353487469362010-05-29T13:30:19.761-07:002010-05-29T13:30:19.761-07:00@Mezamashii - Hi!

She's not a great actress, and while she's very pretty, I don't think she has the personality for it. I actually think her turn in Dhoom 2 prooved that, at least for me. Her character in that was so vapid and weak that I fast forwarded through a lot of her scenes. If I had to pick someone from this list to be a Bond girl, I'd go with Kangana. From outside that list I'd pick Mahi Gill, who showed more pluck and fire in Dev D than any of the girls on that list have ever shown in their entire careers. Being a Bond girl isn't entirely about looks!<br /><br />I'd actually probably go with someone like Tabu; she's a bit older than your picks but then again so was Michelle Yeoh when she starred in Tomorrow Never Dies. She was dynamite in that.<br /><br />Sigh. I think about this way too much. I just don't think anyone on that list has the heft. I think my dream pick for a Bond girl would be Bai Ling, but that's just me!<br /><br />:)<br /><br />-MelissaBombay Talkieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15085252038295646746noreply@blogger.com
