Birthday Special: 5 movies where Divya Dutta outshined the lead

Divya Dutta is a marvelous actress and there’s no denying that. In fact, there are some movies where she even overshadowed the lead. As she celebrates her birthday today, we look back at 5 roles where she overpowered even the leads:

 

1. ‘Badlapur’

Divya Dutta totally shook one and all with her bold avatar in this one, with the (who we know as) dangerous man Varun Dhawan. But what performance, woman.

 

2. ‘Bhaag Milkha Bhaag’

As the wife who has been abused all her life, Divya Dutta made everyone empathize with her character in ‘Bhaag Milkha Bhaag’.

 

3. ‘Gippi’

The fun-loving mother, Divya Dutta was the cool yet typical mom to ‘Gippi’, who made us laugh and cry throughout the film.

 

4. ‘Stanley Ka Dabba’

While the world shunned Stanley, his English teacher (guess who) went all out for him and almost stole his limelight.

 

5. ‘Chalk N Duster’

Okay so she didn’t exactly overpower the likes of Shabana Azmi and Juhi Chawla in the movie, but Divya Dutta as a strict principal was definitely most convincing.

 

Happy Birthday Divya Dutta.
