Yuva and Veer Zaara
Rani's ability to excel in a brief screen duration is impeccable. Although Mani Ratnam's Yuva and Yash Chopra's Veer Zaara were about her in the least, she made a wow-inducing impression.
Her inspiring work in Yuva as the devoted yet frustrated wife of a local goon came alive every time she flashed those big fire-filled eyes at her husband or broke down angrily at an unsuspecting onlooker.
Ditto for Veer Zaara. As the logic-spewing lawyer, Rani exudes dignity and grit making you forget that VZ is a love story of two individuals seperated since twenty years, and not a court-room drama.
