Kareena Kapoor
What can you say, she's still the queen. Even though her Tashan might have flopped, Kareena's still the icon for all things glamorous.
She's had a couple of powerhouse performances, so she knows how to turn on the acting nozzle when she needs it. Plus, she's dating the coolest of the Khans.
Katrina Kaif
Kaif is such an extreme dazzler that she's making a career out of not having to act.
Currently the 'lucky charm' in an extremely superstitious industry, Kaif is riding the wave of her stellar looks and a fab chemistry with reigning Kinng Akshay Kumar.
Priyanka Chopra
The curvy Punjabi lass might have struck out with sci-fi duds like Love Story 2050 and Drona, and let's not even mention a certain Bruce Almighty remake, but Piggy Chops has redeemed herself with Dostana, where she looks like a million yummy bucks. Nice.
Genelia D'Souza
Sure, so there's a chance Jaane Tu will be the biggest hit of her career, but what a hit it is.
And Genelia, sparkling, grinning, madcap Genelia, is the undisputed star of the ensemble, unlike other debutants usually overshadowed by the men.
Deepika Padukone
A stunning piece of work, Deepika may be acting cardboard so far, but if she continues to ratchet up hits, there's a chance she can turn into the next Katrina.
Add to that the fact that she's dating sureshot superstar Ranbir Kapoor, and all systems are 'go' for this tall gal.
Sonam Kapoor
Her first film has to rank among the biggest flops in movie history, considering its SRK-defying hype.
Yet while Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Saawariya was a debacle, the gorgeous Sonam got rave reviews, and there's enough buzz for her next film, Dilli 6. This one's here to stay.
Vidya Balan
There's a distinct likelihood that this doe-eyed woman would have been a few notches higher on this list if only she wasn't the most horrendous dresser.
Yet the Parineeta girl has doled out hits like Heyy Babyy and held her own in Lage Raho Munna Bhai, so she's definitely poised for an upswing. Let's just hope she finds a mirror.
Kangna Ranaut
A very unconventional beauty, the Gangster heroine isn't the sort that can slip into any role.
Her speech is distinctly peculiar, yet she's gamely managed to deliver performances in films like Metro and Fashion, and there's tremendous buzz about her upcoming Raaz 2.
Ayesha Takia
The only reason Bollywood's most statuesque leading lady -- who also happens to be among its most wholesomely innocent-looking, ironically -- isn't much higher up on this list is because we haven't seen her around lately.
She's a very fine actress, and we're looking forward to seeing her again in Nagesh Kukunoor's 8 By Ten, opposite Akshay Kumar.
Neetu Chandra
She started out as just another one of the Garam Masala bimbettes, but Chandra's really worked at her career, getting good notices for films like Traffic Signal.
And advance reviews for the upcoming Oye Lucky Lucky Oye mark her as a surefire talent to watch.
