Year
2021
has
been
nothing
less
than
a
roller-coaster
ride,
but
despite
the
nation's
struggle
with
COVID-19
pandemic,
the
film
industry
made
sure
to
keep
its
audience
entertained.
While
very
few
films
released
in
theatres,
many
films
were
released
on
OTT
platforms
and
they
left
the
netizens
quite
impressed
with
their
content.
Here
we
have
compiled
a
list
of
top
seven
actresses
whose
work
needs
to
be
praised.
Gone
are
those
days,
when
it
was
a
dream
for
actresses
to
get
a
meaty
role.
Now,
not
only
they
are
doing
female-oriented
films,
but
also
receiving
praises
from
every
corner
of
the
nation.
Remember
how
Kriti
Sanon's
performance
in
Mimi
became
a
topic
of
discussion
on
social
media
after
the
film's
release?
On
that
note,
let's
see
who
all
left
a
lasting
impression
on
audience's
mind
with
their
performances...
Parineeti
Chopra
Unlike
other
actresses,
Parineeti
Chopra
had
three
releases
this
year-
The
Girl
On
The
Train,
Sandeep
Aur
Pinky
Faraar
and
Saina
and
it
would
be
wrong
to
say
that
we
were
not
bowled
over
by
her
performance.
Each
of
her
film
was
of
different
genre,
and
we
loved
her
comeback
and
how!
Janhvi
Kapoor
We
still
remember
when
Janhvi
Kapoor
had
made
her
Bollywood
debut
with
Dhadak
in
2018,
she
was
highly
criticised
for
her
plain
performance.
She
was
written
off
by
many
critics
and
many
thought
that
she
won't
make
it
big
in
the
industry.
However,
Janhvi
took
all
the
criticism
in
her
stride
and
made
sure
to
work
harder
on
herself.
Result?
Roohi!
Netizens
loved
Janhvi
in
Roohi
and
also
praised
her
work
in
the
film.
Sanya
Malhotra
Sanya
is
a
powerhouse
of
talent.
She
is
one
of
a
few
actresses
in
Bollywood
Pagglait,
who
are
loved
by
the
audiences
since
their
debut.
This
year,
Sanya
featured
in
Pagglait
and
Meenakshi
Sundareshwar
and
like
always,
didn't
leave
the
audiences
disappointed.
While
the
storylines
of
both
films
could
have
been
better,
Sanya's
performance
was
just
bang
on!
Taapsee
Pannu
Another
top
ranking
actress
of
Bollywood
is
Taapsee
Pannu.
While
both
of
her
films
Haseen
Dillruba
and
Rashmi
Rocket
stirred
controversies,
no
one
pointed
a
finger
towards
her
acting.
While
some
were
in
awe
of
her
film
choices,
others
were
simply
impressed
by
her
brilliant
work.
Kriti
Sanon
If
there's
one
actress
who
received
the
most
appreciation
for
her
work
this
year,
she
is
Kriti
Sanon.
When
Mimi
was
released,
everyone
was
raving
about
her
sincere
performance
in
the
film.
Kriti
has
surely
come
a
long
way
and
now
onwards,
her
fans
will
have
higher
expectations
from
her,
because
she
has
set
the
bar
so
high.
Kangana
Ranaut-starrer
Thalaivii
was
one
of
the
most
talked
about
the
films
of
2021
and
guess
what?
Kangana
didn't
leave
any
stone
unturned
to
put
her
soul
in
the
film
and
her
hard
work
was
pretty
visible.
Her
nuanced
performance
won
millions
of
hearts
hence,
she
totally
deserves
to
be
in
the
list.
Kiara
Advani
One
just
can't
talk
about
the
best
performances
of
Bollywood
actresses
in
2021
without
mentioning
the
name
of
Kiara
Advani.
Even
though
the
actress
had
lesser
screen
time
in
Shershaah,
she
did
an
impeccable
work
in
the
film,
and
nailed
the
character
of
Dimple
Cheema.
