What was the scene that Madhuri Dixit regretted?

 It definitely has to be the intimate and lip-lock kissing scene in the film Dayavan with Vinod Khanna. The song, “Aaj phir tum pe pyar aaya hai', is still remembered for those scenes.No popular actress was ready to do the short role of a prostitute and above that the intimate scene.

Since Madhuri was new at that time she didn't know if she had the right to say no to such things to the director. Madhuri shot the scene but was uncomfortable later. In an interview some four years after the release of the film she admitted that she was sorry about the love making scenes in Dayavan.

There is one more reason why Madhuri regrets the scene. It is said that during the scene Vinod Khanna became uncontrollable and he cut Madhuri Dixit lips. He continued to do so even after the director's cut. Madhuri revealed the fact that both were nervous while doing the scene but Vinod Khanna got carried away and kissed her. There was an apology from Vinod Khanna for the same but the damage was done. Madhuri never worked again with Vinod Khanna in lead role just one film which she had already committed.

No doubt, Madhuri regrets doing the scene at personal level but it made her popular.

Is Madhuri Dixit overrated?

 Yes,she is overrated.She is just an ordin ary actress but her bonus point is stron g dancing skills.She has given many da nce numbers which are very memorable and she is lucky that she got good song s too.Madhuri Dikshit has not emoted herself as a strong and talented actress .She has yet to prove herself as an actr ess.She breathed in Bollywood because of her prowess in dancing and expressi on.

Who is the most prettier between Juhi Chawla and Madhuri Dixit?

 This question is really very tough to answer as both of them are all- time legendary beauties that have carved an important place for themselves in our hearts.

If I talk about my point- of- view, then the answer would be Juhi Chawla. Madhuri Dixit is definitely better in terms of dancing but according to me, Juhi beats Madhuri incase of beauty.

Yes, definitely most of us think and feel that the answer of this question is Madhuri Dixit only…..even though Juhi has a comparatively prettier and slim face.

For a proof, I would like to tell you that I am currently playing a survey-type game with my friends in which I provide them collages of the actresses and they have to choose the most beautiful one and the latest contest is among Juhi Chawla, Madhuri Dixit, Aishwarya Rai, Gauri Khan and Manisha Koirala. I was just counting the no of people/ persons who like them. For now, let’s just consider the choices between Juhi and Madhuri. I am suprised to tell you the fact that about five to six people have chosen Juhi and just a few more about seven to eight people have chosen Madhuri.

CONCLUSION: There are people who like Juhi more than Aishwarya, who is considered to me the most beautiful and no doubt, she’s so, and Madhuri, but maybe we are unable to find them, so just don’t believe one to be prettier than other by just considering what our friends, relatives and other known people like.

Infact, Juhi ji as well as Madhuri Ji share an equal rank in my favourite heroine list. They both rank No. 1.

But, am really sad to see that many of us have forgotten that they are among the super- beauties of 90’s.

How did Madhuri Dixit manage to remain on top for 10 to 12 years in Bollywood?

 

Madhuri Dixit was one of the top actress of Bollywood from 1988–95. After 1995 her films started failing left, right and centre. She did a comeback in 1997 with Dil to Pagal Hai but all her other films failed or were average till 2002 when she did Devdas in second lead role.

Madhuri Dixit had a peculiar career as a lead actress.

Her first major hit was Tezaab in 1988, before which she gave series of underwhelming films including Abodh (disaster), Awara Baap (flop), Swati (critically acclaimed but flop), Mohre (flop), Manav Hatya (disaster), Uttar Dakshin (flop), Khatron ke Khiladi (average), Dayavan (average).

After Tezaab she gave series of hit after hit in 1989. She gave 7 hits and 2 average films in 1989 which made her second just next to Sridevi. Her hits included Ram Lakhan (Blockbuster), Tridev (Blockbuster), Ilaka (Hit), Prem Pratigya (critically acclaimed hit), Parinda (critically acclaimed hit), Vardi (Semi Hit), Mujrim (Hit).

After a great 1989 with Chandni and Chalbaaz, Sridevi's career declined in the 90’s with continuous failure of her film. After 1989, her next success came in 1993 with Gumrah, then 1994 Laadla and 1997 Judai. In between she gave more than a dozen flops. Madhuri Dixit took advantage of this situation and catapulted to the top position. Between 1988–95 she gave atleast one hit in the top 3 grossing film. Interestingly, even she gave only hit a year from 1992–95. Madhuri Dixit also delivered 3–4 flops a year but she also delievered the biggest hits of the year.

So, in 1990,

She gave Dil (Highest grossing film of the year)

Kishen Kanhaiya (5th highest grossing film)

1991- Saajan (Highest grossing film of the year), 100 Days (moderate success)

1992- Beta (Highest grossing film of the year)

1993- Khalnayak (Second Highest grossing film of the year)

1994- Hum Aapke hai Kaun (Highest grossing film of the year, of the decade and one of the highest grossers of all time)

1995- Raja (3rd highest grosser of the year).

After Raja, several of her big budget films failed including Yarana, Prem Granth and Rajkumar. Mrityudand was critically acclaimed but commercial failure. Except Dil to Pagal hai, where she was overshadowed by Karishma Kapoor, her films continue to fail between 1997–2002 with failures like Mohabbat, Wajood, Aarzoo, Pukar and Lajja (critically acclaimed but commercial failures).

So she remained the top because of her ability to churn out blockbusters year after year.

Filmfare Magazine did a special article on her defining her success. I don't agree with all of the points but still-

Firstly, her exceptional Dancing which played a massive role in the succes of her films. Be it ek do teen from Tezaab, Dhak Dhak karne laga from Beta and Choli ke peeche from Khalnayak.

Secondly, Her sexiness that was explored a lot in her earlier films (filmfare magazine pointed out that this I don't completely agree with it). So according to filmfare, Madhuri was open to doing bold scenes and raunchy songs from the outset. Her scenes in Dayavan, Vardi, Khalnayak etc grabbed a lot of eyeballs. Her dance numbers in Sailaab or Yarana were more popular than the film themselves which helped these movies recover their money atleast. She did special dance number in Bade Miyan Chhote Miyan which was the most popular song of the film.

Thirdly, (again I disagree with filmfare) Madhuri didn't cared about doing heroine centric films early in her career and catered to template male centric films where she had 4 songs and 4 scenes. All her early hits were make centric including Ram Lakhan, Tridev, Ilaka, Mujrim, Parinda, Kishen Kanhaiya. (The article ignored her exceptional performance in Prem Pratigyaa and her heroine centric films like Sangeet, Anjaam, Lajja, Mrityudand etc and her roles in artsy films like Prahaar, Dharavi etc). So she did contributed significantly in enhancing the male fantasy but she was not always a glam doll. It was more like a package where she could move her body as much as her facial muscles. That's why she received filmfare nominations for best actress every year from 1988–95.
