We saw male artists enhancing their skills in action thriller cinema. But this year female artists also worked and showed their talent in crime dramas. One of them is Arsh Purba who worked in Range Road 290 and amidst all the goons, Arsh’s performance shined bright.
However, it was an average year for Sargun Mehta, Tania, Simi Chahal and other female artists. Though some of their films did well, they didn’t have much to do in terms of performances. We hope these stupendous artists show much better skills in their upcoming films which will be released in 2024.
