Tezaab

Madhuri’s claim to fame, this 1988 film opposite Anil Kapoor made her a household name. While Dixit had made her Bollywood debut in 1984 with ‘Abodh’, it was only her performance in the song ‘Ek Do Teen’ in ‘Tezaab’ that established her as Mohini.
Hum Aapke Hain Koun

Enjoy the super hit Romantic title song of the movie Hum Aapke Hain Koun! sung by Lata Mangeshkar, S. P. Balasubrahmanyam from Rajshri Production’s Blockbuster movie Hum Aapke Hain Kaun (1994) starring Salman Khan & Madhuri Dixit in the lead.

Devdas

Remakes are never easy. But Sanjay Leela’s Bhansali’s take on the 1917 Sharat Chandra Chattopadhyay novel, that saw Dixit step into Vyjayanthimala’s shoes as Chandramukhi, was spectacular beyond words. One of the most expensive Bollywood film of its time, ‘Devdas’ featured magnificent dance routines, exquisite sets and costumes, and one of the most good-looking cast, with Aishwarya Rai as ‘Paro’ and Shah Rukh Khan as the new-age ‘Devdas’.
