After a stupendous response to Part 1 of this feature where we analyzed the B.O. report card of our Top Male Actors, we are back with Part 2 in which you can see how the B.O. in 2011 treated some of our Top Female Actors.

Vidya Balan (10/10)

It wouldn't be wrong in stating that if there was one actress who was indeed the toast of the nation in the year 2011, it has to be Vidya Balan. Vidya began the year with a power-packed performance in No One Killed Jessica. As Sabrina Lal, Vidya went de-glam and not only looked the part but also made the audience feel for her character. Post that, she was even seen in 2 insignificant cameos in Thank You and Dum Maaro Dum. However, what she went on to do later in the year truly left us all speechless. Yes, we are indeed talking about the 'Ooh La La' moment when Vidya underwent a drastic make-over to portray Silk in The Dirty Picture. For those who doubted her sex-appeal, Vidya raised the Oomph-quotient to crazy levels and had most men fantasizing about her. She redefined 'Bold' and delivered a flawless performance that is sure to fetch her all the Best Actress awards this year.

Sonam Kapoor (4/10)

The Style Diva of Bollywood had a rather forgettable year at the Box Office. Thank You did manage an opening but it failed to take off in a big way. Sonam's other big release was the much anticipated Mausam opposite Shahid Kapoor which was touted to be the Love Story of the year. However the film bored audiences to death who couldn't wait for this Love Saga to end. Even though Sonam looked gorgeous in the film, she couldn't do much when the script itself was so lousy. It's high time this style icon starts choosing her scripts carefully.

Besides the above mentioned names, Bipasha Basu had an average year with just one release Dum Maaro Dum; Rani Mukerji made a strong comeback with No One Killed Jessica, while Jacqueline Fernandez too got her first big hit with Murder 2. Kalki meanwhile had 4 releases out of which only Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara struck gold at the B.O. while the others like Shaitan and That Girl In Yellow Boots received much critical acclaim and My Friend Pinto was a total dud.

Anushka Sharma (5/10) For Anushka Sharma too, 2011 was a mixed bag of sorts. Her first release was Patiala House where she shared screen space with Akshay Kumar.

Anushka Sharma (5/10)

For Anushka Sharma too, 2011 was a mixed bag of sorts. Her first release was Patiala House where she shared screen space with Akshay Kumar. Despite the role not demanding much of her, Anushka did deliver a spirited performance as Akshay's love interest cum pillar of strength. Towards the end of the year, Anushka re-united with her Band Baaja Baaraat(BBB) team for YRF's Ladies v/s Ricky Bahl. Despite sharing screen space once again with Ranveer Singh, the duo couldn't recreate the magic which they did so effortlessly in BBB. Little wonder then that it was newcomer Parineeti Chopra who stole the show from Anushka in this otherwise ordinary film.

Kangna Ranaut (6/10)

It was quite a busy year for Kangna Ranaut who had as many as 5 releases in 2011. First up was Tanu Weds Manu where Kangna played the bindaas small town girl with much aplomb. The film went on to become a surprise hit of the year much to Kangna's delight. Post that Kangna delivered a dud in the form of Game which was panned by critics and audience alike. Kangna was later seen in 2 slapstick comedies- Double Dhamaal and Rascals. While both were panned by the critics, Double Dhamaal managed to rake in the moolah while Rascals sank without a trace. Kangna ended the year with Miley Na Miley Hum a film which she would best like to forget.

Deepika Padukone (6/10)

In spite of having 2 big releases in the form of Aarakshan and Desi Boyz, Deepika Padukone will best remember 2011 for her scintillating item number in Dum Maaro Dum. Deepika danced away like there's no tomorrow in this modern day remix version which boasted of some really shocking lyrics. Coming to her films, Deepika didn't really have one of the best years. Her first big release Aarakshan ended up being a boring and preachy film on reservation which didn't find a flavour with the audience. Desi Boyz did above average business but it was mainly due to the Boyz- Akki and John- whereas the girls Deepika and Chitrangda had very little to do. With some interesting films lined up for release in 2012, here's hoping that this babe once again returns with a bang.
