Meryl Streep movie ranked<br />
Bindas Vaani<br />
• Showtime Desk<br />
• Showtime Desk<br />
With 19 Academy Award<br />
nominations and three wins,<br />
critically-acclaimed movie credits,<br />
and mother to talented daughters -<br />
two actresses and a model - Meryl<br />
Streep’s influence on the movie<br />
industry is likely to outlive her.<br />
With this in mind,<br />
PrettyFamous, an entertainment<br />
data site by Graphiq, ranked every<br />
Meryl Streep movie from worst<br />
to first. To do so, PrettyFamous<br />
compiled a list of Streep’s movie<br />
credits (whether her role was big<br />
or small) and ranked each based on<br />
its Smart Rating (documentaries<br />
and TV movies weren’t included).<br />
A Smart Rating is a score out of 100<br />
that takes into account a movie’s<br />
Rotten Tomatoes’ Tomatometer<br />
and Audience Score, IMDb rating,<br />
Metacritic Metascore, Gracenote<br />
rating, and its inflation-adjusted<br />
US box office gross.<br />
Of course, with an almost 40-<br />
year career and over 50 feature<br />
films, there are bound to be some<br />
that shine over others. Streep’s<br />
penchant for movie musicals, for<br />
example, including Mamma Mia!<br />
and Into the Woods, were nowhere<br />
near the Oscar-caliber work, she is<br />
known for. However, the actress’s<br />
versatility certainly is one of her<br />
main strengths. •<br />

Vaani Kapoor is all set to make<br />
her comeback, after making her<br />
Bollywood debut with Maneesh<br />
Sharma’s 2013 film Shuddh Desi<br />
Romance, which also featured<br />
Parineeti Chopra and Sushant<br />
Singh Rajput.<br />
The actress is hoping big with<br />
her second Bollywood outing,<br />
Befikre, which is directed by<br />
Aditya Chopra and also stars<br />
Ranveer Singh. The minute film’s<br />
first look came out, it instantly<br />
grabbed everyone’s attention and<br />
became the talk of the town.<br />
It was in 2013, when she<br />
got noticed for her debut<br />
performance in Shuddh Desi<br />
Romance, but it took Vaani<br />
Kapoor nearly three years to bag<br />
another Hindi film, something<br />
which did not bother her much.<br />
Post her debut with the Yash Rajbacked<br />
romantic-comedy, Vaani<br />
featured in the Telugu remake of<br />
Band Baaja Baarat, titled Aaha<br />
Kalyanam in 2014.<br />
Now with just few days to go<br />
for her film’s release, the actress<br />
broke her silence and finally<br />
addressed the rumours. The<br />
actress laughed off the rumours<br />
about her getting a lip and chin<br />
surgery by saying that she isn’t<br />
rich enough to afford a surgery<br />
as such. “I just can’t go through<br />
such tiring process and the pain,”<br />
said Vaani in an interview. Vaani<br />
also said that her weight-loss<br />
changed her body structure, as<br />
it is supposed to. “I lose weight<br />
so obviously my jaw and face<br />
looks different now. My frame<br />
looks different and I am sure<br />
audiences will be able to reason<br />
the change,” Vaani added. •
