While movie critics and cinema lovers might have picked them, the general audience remained unaware, which is a little heartbreaking considering how amazing these performances were.

These performances might not include the ones that bagged awards, but they sure deserve a reward for the portrayal.

4. Alia Bhatt, Highway (2014)

Who would believe that this was her second movie? She knew she had to prove her mettle, and she did. It was a delight to watch her in a realistic role after the disastrous plastic role she got in SOTY.
