2016 did not prove to be a great year for Bollywood but we saw some great debut performances.
Mirzya may have fizzled out at the box office but Harshvardhan Kapoor’s performance definitely made a mark. In M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story, Disha Patani left a strong impact in her small yet significant role. And the year ended with Fatima Sana Shaikh and Sanya Malhotra’s impressive performances in the wrestling drama Dangal.
We are hopeful that this year will also see some fabulous newcomers making an impact.
