With “Satyaprem Ki Katha” successfully following in the footsteps of yet another mid-budget movie (“Zara Hatke Zara Bachke”) and all set to recover its budget, Netizens have been unanimous in their praise of Kiara Advani’s performance in the film. The story of the film is centred on the relevant and sensitive subject of date rape and its aftermath, and Kiara enhances it with her performance, becoming the voice of abused women. The social media is brimming over with messages from cinephiles applauding the actress for having the sensibility and courage to portray the truth with so much soul.

Little wonder then that the Kiara-Kaartik Aryan-starrer has garnered a 7.1/10 audience rating on IMDb. At the box office, the film has made, according to trade sources, Rs56.06 crore in nine days since its release on June 29, setting it on course to recover the money spent on it. Applauding the acting prowess of Kiara, netizens couldn’t stop praising the emotional scenes.

Resonating with her emotional portrayal of her character, a user wrote: “Katha is an emotion, my heart went out to her, I felt so anxious watching her carry that heavy burden, her body language was uneasy and she was continuously fidgeting, hiding from everyone and herself.@advani_kiara this is your film #SatyaPremKiKatha is truly special.”

Another user complimented the actress saying: “It’s not every day that we get to see mainstream actors take on such roles. @advani_kiara, kudos to you for your sensitive, nuanced portrayal of Katha!Lovely to see you shine brighter with every film.

One more user wrote: “Kiara Advani as Katha left me genuinely speechless the change of expressions and the way she expressed so many emotions throughout the movie even though her character was so complex is just applause worthy outstanding performance.” Meanwhile, Kiara has been roped in by Aditya Chopra for the spy thriller “War 2” starring Hrithik Roshan and NTR Jr. A source said: “Kiara Advani fits the bill to the T as far as YRF Spy Universe and ‘War 2’ is considered.

The YRF Spy Universe is a league of all-time blockbuster films like ‘Ek Tha Tiger’, ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’, ‘War’ and ‘Pathaan’, and the expectation from each movie coming out from this franchise is sky high. “Look at the superstars who have graced this Universe. It’s the most coveted film Universe in India that stars the biggest superstars of the country.
