2014 was a year of women-centric films. While the Khans were reaching in 200cr clubs, our heroines very well made their presence felt with their fantastic performances. Here we have listed down top 5 actresses of 2014.

1)     Priyanka Chopra (‘Mary Kom’):

Priyanka Chopra exceptionally played the role of boxer Mary Kom in the film ‘Mary Kom’. She very well got into the skin of the character and her physical transformation for the film was just remarkable.

2)     Kangana Ranaut (‘Queen’):

Kangana Ranaut as the simple girl Rani in the film ‘Queen’ stole our hearts. The actress reinvented herself with the film. Kangana, who had always done high-on-drama roles, proved that she can also carry a sweet, simple role equally well.

3)     Rani Mukerji (‘Mardaani):

Rani Mukerji has made her mark as an actress in Bollywood. And nowadays she hardly does one movie in two years. But, the wait to see the actress on screen was worth it. Rani just nailed it in ‘Mardaani’ and the 36-year-old actress showed that she is still in the race to be at the top.

4)     Alia Bhatt (‘Highway’):

When Alia Bhatt made her debut with the film ‘Student Of The Year’, everyone said that she can only be an eye candy. But, she shut everyone’s mouth with her performance in the film ‘Highway’. Her act was just superb and not even for a single scene we felt that it was just her second film.

5)     Tabu (‘Haider’):

Like Rani Mukerji, even Tabu hardly does any movies. But, she has once again proved that when she comes on screen, she knows how to steal the show. Though, ‘Haider’ was all about Shahid Kapoor, it was Tabu’s act that got more appreciation.
